WORRIED BY FLEAS
Pennsylvanians Appeal to Official
for Help in Their Distress.

Harrisburg. Aug. 2-Many appeals for
information as to how 70 get rid of feas
have been sent 70 Professor H. A Sur
face the state official supposed to know all
about such matters.
This season is prolific for all kinds of in
sects and diseases which infest vegetation,
and now it also appears that the common
jumping flea which infests cats. dogs and
other household pets. is present in far
greater numbers than normally. Dozens
of appeals have reached Professor Sur
face in the last few days from households
which are afflicted with a plague of these
insects
Cats and dogs are about the only brutes
about households which are infested with
fieas'' said Professor Surface. and this
makes it comparatively easy, though some-
what troublesome to get rid of the jump
ers.
One excellent way is to have such pets
sleep on rugs. Each morning each rug
should be taken into the open air and
thoroughly beaten. The flea lays it's eggs
al night on the rug. under such circum-
stances and the beating will get the eggs
off the rug.
Another way is to place sticky fly paper
on the floor where no danger of stepping
on it exists; this can be done by placing
it under furniture The fieas in jumping
about will land on the paper in consider
able numbers Insect powder may also be
busted thickly about the floor. ard after
a few hours or dav or two il should be
swept up and burned
"A fourth method is to mix a per cent
solution of creolin by taking l part of
creoIin to % parts of water. This should
be used to wash the animals and floors
thoroughly.

BELL COMPANY SUED
Alleged to Plan Absorption of
Western Independents.
TBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.


St Louis, Aug. 3.-The future of indie
pendent telephone companies is believed to
be involved in a suit filed to-day against
the American Telephone and Telegra phi
Company and allied corporations by the
kinoch Long Distance Company. of Mis-
souri, al Springfield Ill. The allegation of
conspiracy to stifie competition and per-
petuate monopoly is raised directly in rela-
ton to recent combinations In Illinois.
Judge James A. Creighton. after consid-
ering the bill granted an injunction against
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, the Central Union Telephone
Company, the Vandaia Telephone Com
pany, the Fayette County Telephone and
Telegraph Company and agents and en-
ployes preventing the transfer of any
stock assets property of the Vandalia
Telephone Company and requiring the
preservation of the status quo at least in
Fayette County. until the case is decided.
The Kinloch Long Distance Telephone
Company. which is deemed the largest and
strongest independent concern in the United
States, has traffic contracts with local in
dependent telephone companies in Illinois
and reaches some three hundred points in
that state, in addition TO hundreds of cities
towns and stations in Missouri, Indiana
Kansas and adjacent states
The present suit resulted from informa-
ton which the Kinloch company recently
obtained concerning efforts of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company, which
is the holding corporation of the Bell Tele
phone Company and the Western Union
Telegraph Company, to eliminate Competi-
ton by absorbing the hybrid independent
local concerns and by excluding the Kin
loCh company from the territory.
The Bell company is alleged to have oh
tanned control of the Interstate Indepen-
dent Telephone and Telegraph Company of
Illinois. with headquarters at Aurora, which
operates the local and long distance eX
changes from Springfield to a station within
seventeen miles of Chicago. Thomas &.
Harlan. who filed the Springfield suit. main
tains the Bell company ca be frustrated in
this plan, which would bar independent
companies from Chicago.

ADOPTS PURE FOOD LAWS
Venezuela Demands Chemists
Certificates on U. S. Exports.
| MERCHANTS FILE PROTESTS
Say Red Tape Is Less Effective
than Registration Under
Pure Food Law.

The leading commission merchants and
exporters in this city doing business with
Venezuela have filed their protest against
another regulation which the Venezuelan
government has imposed on exports to
that country. and which, like others i'm
posed from time to time, apparently has
no other aim than to harasS American
shippers.
This new regulation has to do with all
food products shipped from the United
States to Venezuela, and unless the gov
eminent at Caracas revokes it's order
much confusion and trouble to the export
ers will result.
Shippers of all food products are re-
quired to file with the Venezuelan Consul
ate chemists certificates guaranteeing puri-
~. These certificates must come from
chemists al the establishments where the
products are packed.
Troubles Quickly Multiply.
If an exporter buys goods from fifty
such establishments no must file that
number of certificates and the chemists
must swear TO their statements after which
certificate Of the County Clerk must be
obtained to show that the notary was au-
thorized TO take the acknowledgement The
certificates, the Venezuelan government di-
reefs, must remain on file at the consulate
4 year. when they must be renewed.
commission merchant said Yesterday
of this unusual regulation,
Just new form of red tape thought
out by some Venezuelan official
Protest to Consul General
The point made by exporters in their
protest 10 the Venezuelan Consul General
was that the best guarantee the govern
n1ent at Caracas could have of the purity
of food products was registration with
the Department of Agriculture under the
pure food and drugs act.
They pointed out that the watchfulness
of the department for attractions of that
law would be a better guarantee than a
year old certificate from chemist.
In the case of flour the exporters ask
that the certificate of the Produce Fx-
change be accepted. as heretofore
The objections filed by the merchants
and their suggestions Of modification of
the regulation have been forwarded to
Caracas
While awaiting the decision of his gov
eminent the consul general will act on
the suggestions submitted end will accept
the guarantee Of the Department Of Agri-
culture and the Produce Exchange
