THE ENEMY OF MANKIND, THE HoUsE-FLX:

IN S sanitary science progresses it becomes more and more evident
An that the ancients did we'll to apply the name BaalzeBub, or
god of flies, to the spirit of evil. The common housefy,
formerly regarded as a mere annoyance which disturbed mans
slumbers and married his walls and windows, is now known to be
his worst enemy among all animated things. 1t is the fly more than
any other agent that spreads disease. Another very commono object
that is proven by science to be positively dangerous is the manure
heap. And the reason is that, as pointed out in a bulletin just issued
by the Pennsylvania department of health, the accumulation of
refuse from a stable clears nearly the same relation to the housefy
that stagnant water does to the mosquito" The department sounds
warnings that every community should take as a message of life
or death. Stables should have hard and smooth floors and should be
cleaned daily. All kitchen waste should be tightly covered until
taken away. While it is awaiting the garbage gatherer it should
have fresh unslacked lime or kerosene sprinkled over it. Another i'm
perative caution is that milk, especially that intended for the baby,
should never be left in an open vessel. In fact, this applies to all
food. For killing flies some of the helpful suggestions are two
tablespoonful of formaldehyde to a pint of water, sweetened and
placed in saucers; pyrethum powder on a hot pan, or equal weights
of carboHc acid crystals and gum camphor, the former melted and
poured over the latter, heating the resultant mixture in a tin over
an alcohol lamp. The last named compound, however, is infam-
mable and should be used with care. These suggestions for the
prevention and cure of the greatest of all pests are at least well
worth a trial.

AN EXTRAORDINARY TURN IN THE SENATE.

M ONTROL of the Senate has been lost by the Regular -Repub-
" licans, party discipline is a thing Of the past and the Senate,
as if impened by some invisible irresistible power, is forced
into acts that a year ago would have been deemed impossible. The
Regular Republican leaders are on the defensive against an ag
gressive combination of Democrats and Progressives, which also
lis working at cross purposes. But it is practically a unit in over
throwing Regular Republican control and policies. The events in
the Senate yesterday might be said to be epochal. The bill passed
by the House making radical reductions in the wool schedule was
referred to the finance committee with instructions to report it on
July 10. The committee will report adversely, but it is compelled
to report, and therein was a most disastrous defeat for the Regular
Republicans. 1t was also a serious setback for the program of Pres
ident Taft. For it opens the whole tariff question. The cry goes
up for all or nothing, for the wool bill and the farmers free bill and
Canadian reciprocity, or no bill at all. The session, instead of ending
in July, will extend through August and perhaps be a continuous
session until December. Who shall foretell what is going to happen?
President Taft has looked for and ardently desired the enactment of
the reciprocity bill, to be followed by adjournment. If the bill
comes to him finally it is now likely to have the company of the
wool bill and the farmers bill, and the poor man will be at his
wits end what to do, for he will then be damned if he does and
damned If he doesn't. But, verify, the times seem to be out of joint
The Senate certainly is.

UMPIRE'S FAN USED AS
JAP FIGHT SEMAPHORE.

Every visitor to Japan is impressed
with the many curious uses to which
fans are put. The umpire at wrestling
and fenching matches uses a large fan.
shaped like a butterfly, and the various
motions of this fan constitute a Ian
guage which the combatants fully I'M
derstand and promptly heed.
Men and children, as well as women,
use fans at all times. The ervan girl
uses a fiat fan, made of rough paper. to
blow the charcoal fires or as a dust
pan; the farmer uses a stout fan to
winnow his grain, and another notable
variety is made of waterproof paper,
which can be dipped in water. AND
creates great GOODNESS, by evaporation,

GENESIS OF "TARTARIN OF
TARASCON" TOLD BY DAUDET

Fifteen years after publishing LES
A%ventures Prodigieuses de Tartarin de
Tarascon," Daudet offered to the peo-
pie of the Provencal village of Taras-
con, with his apologies, the explanation
of his choice of the name. His ac-
count of it is retold in the Papyrus. The
name Tarascon was picked up on the
way from Paris to Marseilles, because
1t had a fine sonorous roll in the ac-
cent of the South, and sounded, as the
name of the station was shouted, like
the triumphant war-cry of an Apache
warrior. The hero of the book was at
first called Barbarin of Tarascon.
Nov there unfortunately happened
to live at Tarascon an old family of the
name of Barbarin, who threatened to
go to law with me If 1 did not at once
take their name out of this outrageous
t~omfoolery.'

A military company has been formed
in this city with the above title. They
number some sixty rifles, have pro-
cured their own. arms and equipments

wait upon the mayor and tender their
services to aid the city authorities at
all times to enforce the laws and pro-
tect persons n property, if the un-
fortunate emergency should arise in the
present unsettl-d condition of affairs
and the absence of the entire regular
militia force of our city.

Too Many Nostrums.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
Now that II has been pointed out to
the citizens that many of the ~so-called
c~ure-alls are not medicines to help the
sick, but merely concootions to make
money, would II not be veil for us all
to taboo proprietary medicines? In the
long run 1t will be learned that few
of the medicines hat are put up on a
large scale are worth the price of the
bottle. Many cases indeed have been
aggravated by taking some medicine
recommended by a friend who mag
ined he had been cured by a "cure-all. >
1t has been my personal experience
to find that in nine cases out of ten
people who take proprietary medicines
are generally made worse, and in the
long run are compelled to consult A
physician. Let every man who has
IN ailment consult a competent physi-
sian so that he may know just what
his ailment may be. There are many
cases where a man will think he has
a pain in his stomach when it is really
his head that needs attending to. This
may be a tip to some Of the many
medicine takers" Let US all be on
the lookout and advise our iriends as
to the serious results of taking the
muchly-advertised nostrums.

Throw Parks Open.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A few nights ago a letter appeared
In your "Rostrum" signed by TT. j.
t." advocating the opening of the
public baseball parks on Sundays. As
a ball-player I find that his remarks
on the subject are only too true. Many
Sundays we are forced to remain idle
on account of our inability to secure
grounds. 1 know that many other
teams are in the same predicament.
Now. II the grounds in Branch Brook
and Weequahio parks were thrown
open On the Sabbath. 1t would enable
our team. as well as many others, to
engage in the national game. Van
Cortlandt Park, New. York. is similar
to our parks, but it is open to the
public every Sunday In the year. Why
cannot we enjoy the same advantages
In Newark? BALL-PLAYER.

RI T is a rash boast that is made by the Trenton Times that the
smaller counties of the State will "never" give their consent to
a popular convention to revise the Constitution and reform the
absurdly wrong and unjust system of representation in the state
Senate. The senatorial pocket borough has disappeared from nearly
all the other States, Delaware being the last to discard it, and 1t
will disappear from New Jersey. Our State is engirt by States all
of which elect their senators by districts according to population,
assemblymen representing smaller electoral units. New Jersey
makes the county the unit Of representation for both branches of
the Legislature and practically DISTINGUISHES about twothirds of
the States voters in senatorial elections. The evil that has flowed
from this system has injured all the people of the State, and in
what respect are the smaller counties benefited by it? They will
come to see by and by that their best security in government is
government by the majority.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
I hope when the police commissioners
select a combination patrol and ambu-
lance. they will use more discretion than
they did when they purchased that
Second precinct auto. That thin can
vas stretcher Is a farce.
1t Is a miracle how a patent being
conveyed TO a hospital does not receive
internal injuries or a fractured skull.
To lie in a stretcher of hat kind IN
the Second precinct auto is the same
as lying OF a bare floor. Something
ought to be done to remedy this.

HU OBOKEN is next to hold a special election on the question OF
Ia commission government, and the issue will be threshed out
next Tuesday. Trenton is normally Republican,, while Ho
Nboken is Democratic. Whether this difference in the ordinary poll
ties of a town has any effect upon the inclination for or against
commission government is not yet determinable. Nor is 1t safe
under present political conditions to predict how a city will vote
on the question. Newark has already decided upon a new form
of government by adopting a carefully prepared and thoroughly
discussed charter that, with perhaps some notifications, will be
passed by the next Legislature. That charter will then be submitted
to the popular vote. The commission act was not, therefore, passed
for Newark, but for other municipalities that do not have the fore
sight and business methods of Newark and, free from the contentious
of a summer election campaign, we can look on at the battles waged
in other cities and perhaps have something to learn.

CORONATION DAY.

U@ING GEORGE V. was monarch of all he surveyed Immediately
I'm after the demise of his royal father. "The king is dead; long
live the king The coronation today is therefore merely a
ceremony. 1t invests George V. as king and emperor with no
greater power than he had before the gorgeous ceremonial took
place. 1t is a survival of ancient forms and usages in England that
some day will be dispensed with, when the people shall have be-
come better educated in government and can realize the useless
ness as we'll as vanity of such display. The elaborate pageants or
royalty were gotten up to impress the popular mind with the great
ness of royalty and to furnish public spectacles for the edihcation
of the masses. England has not yet emerged from the childish state
that takes these things seriously. The scenes in London today
evidence that fact.
