HOUSE FLY MUST GO.
Columbus Commercial.

Columbus Commercial.
A clean sanitary city is truly a de-
light to every one and the war on
filth instigated by the city manage
removed from lots, meets with the
hearty endorsement of every right
thinking person. Within the last few
years, by the aid of scientific re-
search, people are being taught how
to live and while slow to adopt new
ideas, there is no passing over the
fact made known that the stegomyia
transmits disease, and that the house
fly carries the germs of sickness,
hence the necessity of destroying all
places where these pests breed. The
Baltimore Sun says, Twenty years
ago it was believed that malaria was
caused by foul air. Today we know
that it is transmitted by the Ano'
pheles maculipennio, mosquito. We
know, too, that the stegomyia fasciata,
another mosquito transmits yellow
fever, that the tsetse fly carriers the
germs of the sleeping sickness, and
that the rat is the bearer of the bu-
bonic plague. Knowing these things
we war upon mosquito, tsetse fly and
rat-already the effect is enormous.
Malaria is dying out in the world and
yellow fever has disappeared from
even it's worst pestholes. In Africa
the sleeping sickness is about to yield
and in the Far East the bubonic plague
grows less and less. But there yet re-
mains another bearer of sickness and
the common house fly-and the
maladies that he carries still rage.
| Tuberculosis is one of them, and
others are typhoid fever. pneumonia
and the terrible intestinal disorders OF

Jr.. request it's observance.
Following the planting of flowers
on her mothers grave, Miss Anna
Jarvis, OF Philadelphia, originated the
idea of having a special day set aside
each year to be known as mothers
day. On that occasion she suggested
the wearing of a white flower as a
token of love and respect for the
mothers. She endeavored to enlist
the help of the official congress OF
Mothers and the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, which met in Philadel-
phia that year to found such a day.
While both bodies favored the idea.
neither would stand sponsor for it
because the idea had n. originated
within its body.
Since then, however, the obsei ance
has spread rapidly, until now il is an
occasion recognized throughout the
country. In those cities and states
where no Official recognition is made
the people are beginning to work to
that end. Mothers day this year falls
on Sunday.

divine. 1t recoils from no sacrifice,
It complains of no labor. 1t Quilting
ers all the other loves of earth.
The father may turn his boy adrift.
He may deny him the shelter of the
ancestral home. He may disown him
before the whole world.
But mothers love is spun of finer
silk.
In texture it is even more delicate
than the finest thread in Penelopes
loom; but it grips us like the cables
of the Great Eastern.
The years have sped since we knelt
at childhood's altar to lisp the sweet
est of earthly prayers. Some of us
are bent beneath the weight of life's
burdens. The SHOWS have begun to
gather thick. The burrows of care
are deep.
But we have found no holier shrine
at which to bend than mothers knee.
And the influence Of the fireside!
Who can weigh or measure them?
We are fated to forget many things.
But there are some accents which
ring in our ears like the music of sill
yer bells. We hear them above the
roar of the loudest cataract. On the
darkest day they pour laughter and
sunshine into our hearts, and they are
sweeter than bugle echoes because
they are mothers
Who can equal the pies which she
used to bake?
Or rival the wonderful stories which
she was wont to tell on the evenings
long ago, when she unlocked for us the
realm of the FAIRIES with the mystical
key of "once upon a time
We have often wandered abroad in
the harvest season, but we have scent
ed no musk in the autumn fields which
can equal in sweetness the memories
of childhood; and the reason is locked
in one short word, mother"
Enough.
Whether she be here or yonder-
among these blossms of an earthly
springtime or beneath those boughs of
fadless evergreen-she is with us
still in ten thousand hallowed recol-
lections.
Aye, we will wear the white rose for
mother.
For when all the keys have been
touched and when all the chords have
been swept and when all the ministries
have sung, it still remains that the
sweetest of life's lingering strains is
the one which tells of her
And he who fares the best may say
With him who fares the worst,
Mans truest sweetheart after all
Is she who loved him first

This convention has done a splen-

man could have been present at the
convention and heard the magnificent
speeches made there, outlining the

propriatons for the speedy, effective
and continued prosecution of tn,
work, was received with great enthus
iasm. as it meant something definite.

JACKSON, Nov. Boil weevil ex-
perts have encountered much opposi-
tion to their work in this state, es-
ecially in the sections where the Wee
vii is just beginning to make its ap-
pearance, and the character of it is
much like that which has often de-
veloped in yellow fever campaigns of
the past.
Although knowing that the weevil
must inevitably reach them, the peo-
pie, or at least a large proportion of
them, fear that any information going
out to the effect that the insect has
made his appearance at particular
point, will have a tendency to injure
the country commercially. The eX-
perts themselves, however, contend
that the very opposite effect is desir-
ed, and that by ascertaining where
the insect is and giving the public
due notice. is like storm warning
and that if their advice is needed the
really harmful result will be minimiz
ed.
