FLY LIFE SHOWN
IN PICTURE film
OBJECT TO DISPLAY HOW TYPHOID
GERM IS CARRIED BY The
INSECT.

Washington, Feb. 25.-A national
crusade against the common house fly
was started today in Washington by
the American Civic association, with
the moving picture show as the instru-
mentality by which the danger Of this
pest will be so impressed upon The
public that it is hoped that there will
be a ready response to the campaign
slogan, "Clean up" Under the direc.
tion of Secretary Richard B. Wat.
rous, who delivered a lecture before
the St. Paul publicity bureau on Feb.
9, a remarkable exhibition of fly pic
lures was made at the district build
ing. Tonight Mr.. Watrous announced
that the films are to be duplicated
and distributed to moving picture
shows in all parts Of the country.
The film which shows the. life
drama of the typhoid n.y." as it is
now termed, occupied ~ minutes. 1t
shows flies in magnified sizes as large
as hens, and in some instances as
large as cattle. It shows the rather
disgusting, hairy appearance OF the
flies feet, and the not at all attrac.
tive method by which they transfer
food into their systems by means of
a double jointed proboscis.
Flies, as large as crows, are seen
laying their eggs in dirty looking
mess. A picture of the eggs Is next
shown, and an ichneumon fly appears
on the scene to take q meal Of the
typhoid flies" eggs. A most inter
esting picture shows the eggs just a.
the baby flies break through and wig
gle away. These infants wiggle and
slide and squirm all over the screen.
The next stage in fy life is shown BY
. picture Of the youthful AZ burroving
into the ground and finally . winslsss
young typhoid fy pushes his way from
the earth, and throwing out his chest
walks of to take a stroll in some
ones dining room.
At IL days the typhoid fly is full
grown, strong-winged germ carrier,
and is shown on the screen as big as
a turkey. Half dozen of them crawl
about on two mackeral, which evi-
IDENTIFY have been reposinng on fish
wharf for several days. The fish are
every bit as big as sharks on the
screen, and the flies would fill coal
scuttle each.
A fish head is the scene of the next
chapter. And then the same flies are
seen having feast in some ones
sugar bowl. The change from the
fish head to the dining room is made
in a flash. The lesson is obvious.
Then a baby's nursing bottle with
typhoid fly crawling on the nipple is
shown, and in a flash the picture
shows a very contented baby sucking
away regardless Of typhoid fly or any
thing else.

LIGHT and PHONE
WAR ON AT MlN0T
CITIZENS SAY RATES ARE TOO HIGH
AND ORGANIZE TO fight
POWER COMPANY.

Minot, N. D., Feb. 25.-Incensed
over what they charge as exorbitant
rates, plans are being tentatively
formed by the citizens of Minot to
fight the Minot Light and Telephone
company. A movement is now on foot
to secure lower rates and it is urged
that the commission has in contem-
plation an investigation into rates as
charged at present. The prices for
light and power are the points chief
ly at issue. To all users Of less than
100 kilowatts rate Of 16 cents per
kilowatt, and as this represents the
average user this is the rate most gen.
orally paid. Over that amount the
rate varies from Is cents to 8 cents
in proportion to the number of kilo-
watts used.
Those behind the movement point
to Moorhead and declare that in the
year 1909 the city furnished light to
the inhabitants at from 6 cents to 8
cents a kilowatt, and showed profit
for the year Of $13,560sS.
It is further advanced as an argu-
ment that Minot must have lower
rates that the plant is capitalized
at $3.50, 200, just double it's real value,
and that the citizens are paying div
idends on watered stock. The assess
ed value of the plant in 1909 was $685.
76o, and taxes paid $2,271.3s. The es.
timated income for the year was az
follows:
Telephones .................. 10000
Central heating plant. ....... 1880
Electric lights .............. 42.500
total $0O,OUO
Minneapolis investors are heavily in
terested In tho Mtnot plant. - the
capital was originally furnished by
Mill City people. Those urging the
tight on the plant claim that the fran
chise can be revoked at any time for
sufficient cause upon giving six months
notice. The agitators state that the
present high rates are sumcient cause.
~. Many Go Back to OIL.
The telephone rates were increased
81 month on the first of the year
and this has given special cause for
complaint. A large number Of peo-
pie have ordered their lights discon-
tinued and have gone back to the use
of oil. Others have had their tele-
phones disconnected and those who
have not have ordered party line, Sc
curing slight reduction in cost. These
facts are the first move in an attempt
to bring the company to time and Sc
cure a lower rate for telephone, heat
and light service.

ENDORSES RELIGION
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
DIR. Henry Cope Delivers Lecture
Before Students at University
of Virginia.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, July
2i.--At the general assembly or the
students in the summer school yes
terday, Dr. Henry r.. Cope. general
secretary Of the Religious Education
Association. said on the question OF
religion in public schools;
We have come at an agreement
everywhere in this country that We
cannot have the formal. specific
teaching OF religion in any public
agencies of education. We never Will
be able to agree on any creed that
would be satisfactory To all. We have
no desire to project ourselves into a
struggle similar to that now being
waged in England The truth Is we
know that no formal instruction In
creed. or in the Bible either would
accomplish the religious purpose.
Saints are not made by instruction
If people are ignorant of the Bible,
the blame must be laid. not on the
public schols. but on the churches
which have the duty of teaching the
history and philosophy of religion.
each In Its own way TO It's own people.
II people make absurd mistakes about
Biblical history, is 1t not because the
churches have not seriously under
taken their educational task, that
Sunday-schools are not efficient and
do not have enough time nor sufficient
money for their work.
Though the public school cannot
teach the things about which people
differ in religion. II can and must
teach the things about which we are
all agreed: that the right life La the
only safe and sane one: that truth and
goodness and honor are tho only wayt
Of living. II can and must train to the
hatred OF lie and the love OF ones
neighbor. Public schools are esfec-
tive religious agencies whenever they
train pupils to habits OF right living
the right relations one to another to
personal and social purity. They are
!, religious agencies as far as they are
contrilied by the ideal motive OF max
ing life richer and more truly
spiritual.
The public school can come. into
helpful cooperation with the re-
lixious agencies. Together these two
forces, educational and religious car
study the facts of their communities
Parents councils can meet in churches
and schools to coordinate all, home
church and school to character ends
Public schools and churcAs, particu.
