Origin of Fly War

Kansas started war on the COM
mon house fly and the battle has
been taken up by nearly every State
in the Union. OF Doc Crumbine,
as he is known in the West, started
the hostilities. Crumbine was made
secretary OF the Kansas State Board
OF Health several years ago, and
at once started to send out bulletins.
He muck racked the house fly and
did it so we'll that the whole com.
monwealth fell upon the little pests
with a viciousness that knew nc
quarter.
Crumbine realized that the com.
mon house fly was a distributor o.
innumerable filth and loathsome dis
ease germs, and proceeded to inau
gurate his famous Swat the Fly
campaign, in which everybody
Joined until in Kansas the fly, like
the dispenser OF strong drink, is an
outlaw and fugitive.

The jug Trade Declared a Menace
To the South

The report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which has re-
Gently Investigated the rates charg-
ed by express companies for ship
ments OF liquors into prohibition
territory, brings out some startling
iacts. 1t is said that 1000, geo gal
Ions of Intoxicating liquors are ship
ped by mail-order houses to con
sumers in dry" communities.
Several Virginia cities are la rye
shippers. Richmond sends out
more than $4,000 gallons, Peters
burg PCS. 900 gallons, Norfolk, Ports
mouth, Empo ria and Roanoke more
than 100, 900 gallons each.
The m )vement is more active in
the South than in other sections o
the country. due in part to the ex
tent Of prohibition territory in thai
section. Much OF the cheap whis.
key is shipped there for the con
sumption OF the negro population,
and is one OF the important factors
in the race problem OF the South,
The will of the people is Otter
thwarted by the Federal Govern
ment permitting the shipment of
liquors into dry" States and ter
ritory. Bills are pending in Cong
ress forbidding such shipments, anc
it is hoped they will be passed, thus
affOrding temperance people some
relief.

Anti-Saloon Leagues Position

Speculation as to the position
which will be taken by the dry"
voters and members of the Anti
Saloon League of Virginia in the
coming senatorial election, was
heightened considerable Friday
morning by the appearance of card
in the Richmond Virginian, signed
by r. S. Barbour, of South Boston,
president of the League, and also
of the Virginian Company. Mr..
Barbour directs his letter to the
editor of the Virginian and it is

No Printers Incsrcerated in State
Penitentiary
GRANT INTO A TRAGEDY.

OF all ancient and honorable
trades and professions whose vo-
taries are represented in the State
Penitentiary, that of the printer is
missing. An inquiry set in motion
by Governor Mann reveals this fact
There are preachers and doctors
and lawyers aud cashiers and black =
smiths and bricklayers and factory
girls and teachers and clOthiers and
cooks, but not a single printer.
A publisher of county newspa
per in Virginia made the rather I'M
usual request for information regard
ing printers who might be incarcer-
ated. He needed one in his town,
where labor of this sort is perhaps
difficult to procure. So with des-
ire perhaps to reform some one, he
asked for data. II he found a
worthy case where the term had
half expired, it was his intention to
bring the matter to the attention q

ing a parole by promise of employ
ment.

er, but among all the 1900 boarder.

who would own up to being a grad
uate in the art OF printing.

The Passing of Tobacco

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief sa-
chem at the Bureau of Chemistry,
and famous as the leader and origi-
nator of the poison squad" and
pure food laws, has adopted a new
role. He has become the beacon
light in the movement against pub
lie smoking. BE said:
Il predict that within fifteen
years smoking and tobacco chewing
in public will have become obsolete.
"A man has a perfect right to
drink, chew, or dip snuff in his pri-
vate sanctorum, but he has not the
shadow of a right to infiict unwhole-
some smoke and his vile breath on
the community at large.
There should be law, strictly
enforced by the authorities, prohib
ting smoking and chewing in pub
lie places or on the ars, where
other persons are obliged to be"

Gray on the famous battle field.
This coming union suggested the
writing of the article
The Colonel expresses the opinion
which many others, capable ofjudg-
ing. have expressed, that the Con-
federacy lost its chance at this great
battle. Having defeated and routed
the Unions troops, they failed to fol-
low up their victory by not moving
on to Washington, thereby losing
the best chance they ever had.

More trouble is said to be brew

fever is always endemic in that
storm tossed island. 1t may result
in the United States repeating [ its

SENATOR SWANSON FOR
HIGHWAY Improvement
Favors Appropriation of $40, 900, 900
For Five Years

An annual appropriation OF $780,
600. 900 for Eve years to improve the
post roads and rural delivery routes
of the government was urged in the
United States Senate Friday by
Senator Swanson of Virginia.
Contending that despite the
amazing achievements in many d.
rections scored in this country, it is
notorious that the United States has
the poorest public roads and high
ways of any civilized nation. He
SAID he regarded the subject as the
paramount one before the American
people.
Senator Swanson explained that
his plan would open up more than
1000, 900 miles of roads to Govern
ment aid, that the States or local au-
thorities would furnish an amount
equal TO that appropriated by the
Federal Government, and that the
total would be divided among the
States according to population. He
said the Limitation to postal roads
and routes eliminated any constitu-
tional objections.
The bill would create a road de-
partment, consisting Of engineers
and capable officials, to carry out
the project. The measure, he ex-
planned, was modelled somew hat
after the Virginia law.
The Federal Government, saio
Senator Swanson, should delay nc
longer extending TO the State and
local authorities generous aid fol
road improvement. When tina Fed
eral Government commences to bear
its fair share OF the burden OF i'm
proving our public roads, that day
will mark the beginning of the enc
of bad roads in this nation. 1t will
open a new chapter in our history
each leaf which, when turned, will
CLEAN with more happy countr,
homes, better schools and churches
and larger and more prosperous ru
raj communities.

Maine Blown Up From the Inside

General Bixby, chief of engineers,
who has returned to Washington
from Havana, says that the Maine
was undoubtedly blown up from an
internal explosion of three powder
magazines, thus contradicting the
theory which started the war with
Spain.
General Bixby says that por-
ton of the deck over the magazines
was blown upward and backward
and that there are numerous condi-
tons which prove this. No explo
sion from the outside, says the Gen
eral, could have caused the same re-
suit. What the primary cause oil
the explosion was, said General
Bixby, never will be learned"
General Bixby does not believe
that the Navy Department will find
the bodies of sailors and officers on
the Maine. He says that they are
probably buried 200 feet or more
from the wreck in the mud.

No less than $4,000, 900 barrels OF
beer were sold in the United States
during the twelve months ended
June 30 last, or an increase over the
previous twelve months of 6.2l yer
cent, according to the annual re-
port of the beer and whisky sales
made public in New York by the
United States Brewers Associa-
ton. Notwithstanding the increase
which the report contends indicates
that the country is prosperous, the
spread of prohibition has affected
the trade considerably, it is declar-
ed. the whiskey bill of the United
States for the year, according to

crease of nearly $4,000, 900, or o.66

CONGRESSMAN FLOODS
DEFENSE OF VIRGINIA
Against Charges of Corruption by
One w. E. Dodd

Commenting upon the speech by
Prof. William F. Dodd, of the Univ
ersity of Chicago, delivered at
Louisa, Va, Congressman Hal
Flood, in al address July 4th at
West Point, said:
Those who compare political
conditions in Virginia with those
in Illinois, New York and other
States of like character are either
very ignorant or are INSCRIPTIONS
slanderers OF the State.
L have seen atypew ritten copy Of
a speech OF professor OF the Univ
ersity of Chicago, delivered at
Louisa yesterday, attacking sup
posed conditions in Virginia. This
party stated in his speech that the
institution at which he was a prof
essor was founded by man whose
life has not been honorable or Gre
ditable yet this professor is willing
to participate in the income which
this university has by reason OF
the muniticence of dishonest ben
factor. 1 will leave to the good
sense Of the audience to determine
the propriety of his position.
Further on in bis speech l read this
statement: DO you know that
Thomas F. Ryan controls your news
papers?' meaning the Virginia
papers. One of these men pay your
Virginia machine expenses, mean
ing the Virginia Democratic organ
ization, and was long a member OF
its executive committee, once going
so far as to provide a private car
for the Virginia delegates to the
national Democratic convention at
st Louis. These delegates voted
ioyfully for the nomination OF Alton
B. Parker, an ally OF Ryan
This statement gives you an
idea of the recklessness of the
whole speech. Every child in Vir-
GINA knows that MIR. Ryan does not
control the Virginia newspapers.
and the statement to that effect is
without truth. No man believes
tnat any one person furnishes the
small amount of money that Mr..
Ellyson uses in our campaigns.
I do not believe that the people
of the State approve such sentiments
or endorse such utterance.
believe that kindness and love
and charity and honesty and integ-
rity and loyalty and self-sacrifce
we're never more universal within
her borders nor more effective than
on this day in whose unhindered
splendor we are celebrating she
birth Of this nation.
I'VE must look beyond the criti-
cism of jealous demagogues and the
unsupported assertions Of the self
seeker. to the accomplishments for
good by the men in the political and
business life OF the State against
whom their harpings and SANDERS
are directed.
we should take pleasure in the
fact that the public men ofthe. South
and of Virginia are going to the
, front in the nations life and thai

holding their own with the rich

Vaccination in Typhoid Fever

Vaccination consists Of inject
ing the killed germs of typhoid
beneath the skin. 1t frequently
causes local pain and redness at seat
OF injection, which lasts but a few
hours. 1t occasionally gives reac-
ton with headache, chills and slight
fever, which may last "a to SO hours.
1t is regarded as harmless and is
used with brilliant success as a
prophylactic agent in nearly all the
armies of the world when exposed
to infection.
In typhoid fever it has been OBJ
served that the living germs act on
certain tissues of the body and
cause them to form a substance
which renders the body immune to
subsequent attacks, to a very great
extent. The killed germs act on
these tissues in very much the same
way and cause them to form sub
stance which renders the human
body immune to typhoid germs to {
great extent. The immunity from
vaccination, like typhoid itself, does
not render the human organism i'm
mune for any great length of time
