asite Which They Hope to Put
to Work in the Campaign.
TOPEKA, Kan.-The Kansas state
board of health has adopted the mot
to, Swat the Fly" for active use
during the summer months, and has
caused large placards with the motto
in three-inch type to be posted
throughout the state. 1t is proposed
! by the board to kill as many flies as
possible this summer and to make
every little corner of everything in
the state so clean that the flies will
have no place to lay their eggs.
Notices have been served on all
the local health officers that all
trash piles must be burned unless
they are completely covered by dirt
These are the breeding places for
the flies, and if they are removed
early in the year the flies will not
have places to lay the eggs, and the
number of the pesky little insects
will be materially reduced.
This is the preventive measure of
CII6 SCdL0 u6dlIu department. All
citizens are urged to provide close
meshed screens for all windows and
doors and to see that the screens are
kept closed all the time. If a fly
does get into the house it is the duty
of the good housewife to get out her
| 'swatter" and crack Mr.. Fly over the
head with it. But there will not be
many flies around home where the
trash piles and garbage cans are
kept clean and covered, as the fly
cannot live where cleanliness abides
The fly is a resident of all dirty
places, announces the board of
health.
1t has been discovered recently
that there is a small white parasite
that is death to the common house
| fly. This parasite is found under the
wings of the fly late in the summer
The State University and the state
board of health have each made ap-
preparations from their experiment

NO MORE BAGGAGE SMASHING.
The Railroad Commission Will Pro-
tect the Travelling Public.

People who have been unwilling
victims of ruthless aggage-smashing
will be glad to know that at least a
little relief is coming their way, for
what is known as baggage smash
ing" will soon become a thing of the
past in Georgia.
AS the result of numerous COM
plants from various sources, largely
from travelling men, the commission
is considering the idea of requiring
each railroad to place a baggage
truck at every station where it main
tains an agent.
Under the present plan at most
stations trunks are dumped directly
from the baggage car on the ground
or upon a wooden platform. In this
way they are badly Jared and soon
come to pieces.

As Most Awe Inspiring.
CATANIA, Sicily.-Mount Etna,
whose eruptions in the past have
wrought great destruction, is again
in a violent state of activity. A pro-
nounced movement within the crater
began last evening, steadily increas-
ing in volume, and tonight the
grayest fears are entertained as to
the results if the eruption continues
in its present form.
Rain of Cinders Wells Mountain.
From Catania correspondents mo-
tored in the direction of the noun
tain. Passing the village of Mas
culcuia, twelve miles in a direct line
from the crater, a thick curtain of
smoke was encountered which entire
ly concealed Etna At Nicolosi, ten
miles from the crater the entire pop
ulation had gathered in the square
to watch the volcano, which appeared
as a black phantom above. Now and
then it was Illuminated with flashes
of light, appearing almost red.
Higher up the rain of cinders became
thicker and extended like a veil
across the mountain. A deep roar
ing was heard and detonations like
the sound of artillery following one
another in quick succession, while
the earth shook under foot.
Lava Like Red Hot River.
One of the guides cried: can
earthquake!" and could hardly be
induced to continue. The hot cinders
covered the ground like a thick car
pet, rendering walking difficult. A
peasant was encountered coming
down. He said; The fire is a rush
ing down, burning everything. The
lava is like a red hot river"
Proceeding a little further four
colossal columns of black smoke
could be observed. Occasionally
they were cut by flashes of fire, pre-
senting an awe-inspiring spectacle.
Then the wind opened the clouds for
a moment, and a wide strip of fire
could be seen in the distance, ad-
vancing with monstrous contOrtions.
1t fell like a torrent from Mount
Capriolo, spreading out in the valley
below.
Peasants Houses Buried.
The lava flow had already reached
the vineyards above San Leo and
RinazZo, seven miles from the crater,
and had buried large number of
peasants houses. 1t came in several
streams and united in one great mass
about twenty feet in height and about
1900 feet wide.
It's velocity was estimated at three
to four feet a minute, varying ac-
cording to the condition of the
ground. This mighty wall of lava
was today not more than five miles
from BOlosasso and Nicolosi. The

If the university workers are able
to determine why the parasite does

some scheme to put the little white

If the university can get the par

Coming as sick man, with

life to which he had been accus-

but scarcely had his household

everybody, and striving to lay
foundations for usefulness every

day he leaves a gap behind him
which none can fill.
When asked why he had

acter, DR.. Mather replied you

constantly to cultivate the ''en-
