A second warning against flies comes
from the department Of health Where
screens have hot been put in yet, they
should be secured at once. Comfort
has suggester such protection in days
gone by. Under modern theories, there
Is something more important than
comfort to be considered. There is a
close relationship existing between the
files and the public health.
Files should be fought as a plague"
The language Of the health hint is
rather startling People take interest
when plague threatens. They have
endured the fiy as a nuisance without
having an appreciation of its danger

evidence before the general awakening
comes that viii help toward the OK
termination Of this champion OF disease

In the absence Of flies. the health
bulletin declares there will be less
typhoid fever and other contagious
disease. Our homes will be cleaner,
our food purer, and our personal COM
fort increased by their absence" The
trio of reasons should be sufficient tn

PARCELS POST.

TN our Peoples Column" we print letter
n about the Parcels Post system and its re-
lation to the express companies from one of our
most valued and intelligent subscribers. We
were rather amused to read a note with the let
ter If you are not an advocate of this system
send this to the waste basket, but return the
clipping"
Bless your life Mr.. Subscriber, we want YOU
TO have different idea of THE JOURNAL. So
far as your letter is concerned, it would be
printed whether THE JOURNAL advocated
the ideas expressed in it or not THE JOUR
NAILS columns are open to its subscribers to
express their views whether those views are in
accord with THE JOURNALS or not. We inn
pose only such limitations in the use of lam
guage that we ourselves are bound to follow.
THE JOURNAL wants to be an open forum for
the discussion of public matters We do not
for moment believe that our readers agree
with us in a great many things that we say
and often we do not agree with opinions that
may be expressed in letters to the editor. We
want this particular subscriber, along with 9TH
ers, to feel that he has an interest in THE
JOURNAL and right to use its columns when
ever he is so disposed
In the present instance, however, we agree
with about everything that Farmer" says in his
communication. Some time ago THE JOUR-
NAL. discussed the Parcels Post system and ia
vored 1t with all the vigor at our command. If
we remember correctly we did condemn the ac-
tion OF the Board of Trade in indorsing the
views OF the hardware man. At any rate we
should have done so if we did not The Board
at that time, however, invited friends of the
Parcels Post to appear before it and discuss the
matter, but as we remember there was no de-
bate over the matter
If all persons who have complaints against the
express service were to file their complaints with
us, we imagine that we should be kept busy for
a considerable time
