ment was IN response to a telegraphic
query from the New York Herald ask
ing him to outline his views on the
question of national divorce law
and give his reasons. The governor
said he favors such proposition.
He gave as his reasons the growing
divorce evil and the wide difference
in the laws of the various states. He
also cited the inequity of one state
being compelled to harbor people
whom it refused to divorce after
they had stepped over the line into
another state and become divorced.

1t is the opinion of Henry Clews
in his current letter that the trouble
with the country just at present is
too much tinkering by congress.
The incessant tariff agitation and the
constant attacks of congress on cor
porations have, he maintains, pro-
duced great disquietude in business
and commercial circles and resulted
in timidity on the part OF capital and
the disturbance of stock prices He
represents that business and financial
circles do not know what to expect.
What the country needs is for con-
gress to adjourn and give the country
a rest from agitation and political
turmoil.

Former President, Writing to Friend
Says His Nomination Would
Be a Calamity.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, August "a
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will not
be candidate for the Republican
nomination for President in 1912.
All the planning OF the Roosevelt
admirers on the one hand and the
enemies of President Taft on the 9th
er will be of nc avail, as the ex-presi-
dent has firmly set his foot down on
all movements to have him head the
national Republican ticket in the next
campaign.
Alexander P. Moore, editor OF the
Pittsburg Leader, an enthusiastic
friend and supporter of Colonel Roose-
welt, recently wrote letter to the ex-
president regarding the proposal to
ticket.
Editor Moore, on the return of
Colonel Roosevelt from his African
trip. led great gathering of Pitts
burg admirers of the mighty hunter
to New York, where they greeted
the colonel at the pier. Mr.. Roosevelt
also made short visit to Pittsburgh
afterward On one of his trips, at the
invitation of Mr.. Moore, SO that the
Pittsburgh editor is close enough to
Mr.. Roosevelt to ascertain his wishes.

following letter:

as a substitute for that OF house fly.
The earliest convincing evidence of the
dissemination of the typhoid bacillus by
the house fly was furnished by doctors
who investigated camp conditions during
the Spanish-Amerfcan war. 1t was found
that officers whose mess tents were pro-
tected by screens suffered porportionately
less from typhoid fever than did those
whose tents were not so guarded and the
fever gradually disappeared in the fall Of
1898 with the approach of cold weather
and the consequent disabling OF the fly
Nothing was more noticeable says Dr.
Dunno, than the fall in the admissions
from typhoid fever coincident with the
killing off of the flies at the advent of the
cold nights OF May and June"
DR.. G. n. Kober OF Washington has est-
mated that the decrease in the vital assets
of the United States through typhoid
fever is more than $3.50, 100000 annually.
Although physicians do not agree as to the
proportion of responsibility for typhoid
which must be credited to flies, polluted
water and infected milk, most of them
| agree that flies are the cause of a very
| important part. The people OF this
| country spend over s1eOO0,0OO annually for
| screens to protect themselves against
| flies and mosquitoes The monetary cost
to the nation because Of the fly even with
out the infinitely more important consider
alton that should make each of us guard
the health and life of ourselves and our
families, forms an effective argument in
favor of the determination of the fly pest
For the fly plague need not be endured
as a visitation of Providence. It may be
stamped out by the systematic adoption
by individuals and by the public OF the
method OF cleanliness. The fly is born in
lives and thrives upon filth. II no filth Il
allowed to accumulate in a house or IL
neighborhood, 1t will not be troubled b!
flies, for they do not ordinarily stray IA
from their breeding places and thei
sources of food In a thoroughly cleal
neighborhood they cannot live in the fac
of screens preventing their access to foo
and in the absence of manure heaps and
other receptacles for filth in which to de-
post their eggs.
The investigation by DR.. Jackson into
the relations existing between flies an
sewerage, led to the. formation of a specis
