THE COMMON HOUSE FLY.

The change of the name of this
most common of all household
pests from house fly to typhoid
fly" as suggested by DR.. L. O.
Howard in Bulletin Is of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, is considered very appro-
pirate and desil able, inasmuch as
it is established by abundant evil
dence that this pest is now largely
responsible for the spread of that
dreaded disease typhoid fever"
1t is we'll known that the germ of
typhoid fever may be in the human
system several weeks before it is
detected and also for several weeks
after all symptoms have disap-
peared and the patient apparently
we'll. The excreta of such persons
which may be in an open privy, or
in many cases in country districts
located anywhere around the out
buildings, is visited by the fly,
whose feet and body are particu-
larly adapted to carrying germs.
This same fly after visiting such
places may Immediately return to
the house of the sick or that of a
neighbor and be seen crawling in
the kitchen or dining-room over
the food that is prepared to be
eaten by unaffected persons.
Not only may the fly disseminate
the disease to the healthy within
the family of the sick or that OF
closely neighbors, but there is
every opportunity for the same in
fected fly to visit the village or
city store where foods are exposed
and thus spread the disease to
those families who purchase them
The butcher wagon in the country
or the trolley or express train car
rying food such as sacked meats,
etc, may easily become factors in
the dissemination Of this disease
if such carriers are loaded at or
visit points where conditions are

greatest democracy on earth. Their
ieuds seem to intensity with time.
Assaults and murders by agents
of the rival organizations have
been increasing in numbers. and
the stealthy manner of executing
the crimes has quietly grown until
the foreign excresence has become
serious menace to every large
city.
According to the last census there
were II9, 1000 Chinese in the Uni.
ted States, 1000 being in Hawaii
and 5000 in Alaska. They are so
bound and welded into societies
and so absolutely cut off from all
practical amenity to the laws OF
the land that they constitute a
government within this govern
ment, totally distinct, totally indie
pendent and totally regardless OF
every principle of the civilization
for which the American govern
stands.
From the Pacific slope to Chic
ago, from Boston to Baltimore,
organizations and clans ,fostered by
the Six Companies, exact black
mail and hold hundreds or thous-
ands in peonage, paying the wages
they decide to dole out, taking
back the wages by infallibly plan
ned gambling devices from fantan
to plgow, smuggling new helots
across the Canadian border, drug
glng them with opium from their
own country, killing them ruth
lessly if they fall sick and do not
die quickly enough to leave a sat
lstactory margin of profit, burying
them and guaranteeing them celes-
tial happiness hereafter, and final
ly digging up their very bones and
boiling them white and shipping
them back to China for permanent
interment.
Knowing that if he should be
proved guiltless of any crime for
which he is arrested be would be
pursued by the rivals of his clan
until he paid the penalty, a
Chinese prisoner is apt to make
confession of guilt when entirely
innocent. 1t is this trait in the
character which leads the New
York police to believe that if the
suspect in the Elsie Sigel case is
kept in durance long enough he
will admit that he did the murder.
In behalf Of the Chinese it is as
serted that, gamblers by nature,
they have become restless and
more sullen because the authorities
have cut off their games and be-
cause of the treat to seperate those
who are living with white women
from the unnatural amalgamation.

week or keeping the manure IN a
screened portion of the stable.
treating it after each addition with
air-slaked lime.
Dr.. Howard has shown how the
presence of flies in q neighborhood
Of the city Of Washington was mat
eriaily reduced by such treatment
OF the manure from a horse stable
nearby, The task of combating
the pest in rural districts and
around farm houses is largely an
individual one and its presence In
large numbers or to limited ex-
tent will depend upon the sanitary
conditions that are maintained
around the house and barn. 1t is
good farming practice to remove
the fresh manure from the barns to
the field at least twice a week and
if this is done and other sources of
breeding material are protected,
the pest will be largely mitigated
around the home.
As indicated heretofore the ques-
ton of protection of privies or open
deposits of human excrement from
access of flies either for breeding
visitation, is of the utmost impor-
lance, for, as stated, it is by this
means that the fly assemblies the
germs OF disease and distributes
them to any exposed food, 1t can
not be too strongly urged that all
such places be constructed as san
itary as possible and free use of
earth or lime be made for covering
all deposits. The dropping of hu-
man excrement in the open in our
towns and villages or around our
farm homes should never he toler.
ated. 1t is not to be presumed
that even under the best regulated
conditions it will be possible to
entirely eradicate this most COM
mon pest on account of the ever
abundant field for its development.
Il therefore behooves every house
keeper to keep at least all eatables
protected from flies. Too often it
will be seen that the parlor is kept
dark or screened from flies while
they may be present in great num-
bers in the kitchen or dining room
crawling over all food being pre-
pared for consumption.
Therefore screens should be
freely used to prevent the flies
gaining access to the home; also
strict sanitary measures employed
in disposing of waste material.
The use of sticky fly papers or
other patented means of catching
flies that have accidentally entered
the house is the easiest means of
catching them, Fumigation with
pyrethrum persian insect POWDER
is recommended when the flies are
present in great numbers.
These measures should particu-
larly be adopted by our merchants
and those conducting eating
houses, markets and dairies, ETC.,
who serve the public with food
that is likely to be contaminated
by the dirty germ laden house fly.

There were a great many excellent

PATRIOTISM STRONG
LESSON IN "PETERsPAN"

Dear Aunt Laurie:
II WANT to thank you for the tick
cts for "Peter Pan" The show
II was splendid and the theater was
crowded with ladies and children. l
introduced myself to the boy Junior
next to me and asked him if he was a
Junior.
He said: Eyes. But look here!"
pointing to the program. "There will
be crocodile, lion and a pack OF
wolves"
Just then the curtain went up, show
ing the cave of Peter and his band,
and the entrance through the hollow
trees from the earth above.
"a baby's first laugh Is a fairy,
said Peter, and there were hundreds
of fairy lights around the treetop
house of Peter.
When John and Michael were asked
to renounce the stars and stripes to
save their lives and refused they re-
ceived much applause. When capt;
Hook had finished his pirate song and
the, boys sang Yankee Doodle this
brought more hand-clapping. When
Peter raised the star spangled banner
everybody In the theater applauded.
When little Michael said his father
was not as big as the pirate he killed
ne caused quite a laugh. Capt Hooks
word, "Silence!" created great deal
of laughter.
The boys seemed to enjoy the ami
mails most. AS for myself enjoyed all
of the play from the moment Peter
Pan found his shadow until pretty

There is decided improvement in

though they are still not always right.
Lines could all be heavier, and even
the prize winning pictures show many

stroke is nervous or wiggly. All lines
should be firm and not too close to-

A CHALLENGE TO
THE REPUBLICANS

For some time past the Reno Gazette
has been intimating that the democrats
were seeking to repudiate the Direct
Primary Law by studied criticisms of
its defects, etc. and that eventually the
party would he glad TO 60 rid of it.
Now, it is II fact that democratic
papers have criticised the bill and
dcservcdly so. Ii is an exact copy of
the California law, which has been
declared constitutional by the Supreme
Court of California.
The people who backed the bill in the
Nevada Legislature should have paused
long enough to consider that ~ primary
law which would fit California might
have to he modified to suit conditions
existing in Nevada. The fact was not
Considered however, as sufficiently
important and the bill went through
with Il lot of complications and useless
junk which should have been elm
mated.
1t will probably he amended at the
next session hut it is the law of tho
land now and its basic principle is so
sIund-thc right of the people to select
their " candidates--that no court in
the state will dare overthrow it, and we
will further state that no political body
in this state dare go into court us

Weeks Z the leaders Of the rcpubli-
can party met ut the command of the
hcnchmen Of Scaator Nixon and ar
ranged TO bring Il suit in the Supreme
Court to test the cOnstitutionality of
the Act.
When they were asked to tell why
the Act should bc knocked ont they
made no bones of saying that they did
not think that Nixon. with his un.
popular official record could win before

plan was accordingly laid to test the

ty had another inning in the courts
yesterday. Jedge Brown. sitting for
Judge Langan, who is disqualified owing
