KILL THE HOUSE FLY

To the average individual the com
mon househy Is harmless but UNI
necessary evil. Children delight to
watch il crawling about the window
pane or spend hours amusing them
selves trying to imprison it under
tumbler. Did their parents, however,
realize the deadly disease germs the
fly might convey to their little ones
the summer invasion of flies would
soon cease to trouble us.
Typhoid, cholera, the plague. con-
sumption, every kind of summer
complaint can be traced to germs
found on the hy's feet.
Eight hundred and sixty thousand
fungus spores were found on a single
footprint Of a common house fly.
The fly feeds on refuse, on every
form of filth, rotting flesh or vege-
table, it carries disease germs from
the bedside of the sick to the healthy
When people begin to realize these
facts the campaign against the fly
will end in less disease, less doctors
bills and more comfort and happiness
in the home through fewer deaths.
The fly should be kept out of the
house by every possible means. Wire
screens and fly paper should be plen-
tifully used. The fly paper should be
burned with the flies.

MAY HAVE TO WEAR
INSULATED GARMENTS
Dangerous Hertzian Waves Let
Loose May Have Effect
Upon Fashions

LONDON, June Eff the theories
of the German scientist, Hensing-
muller, are correct, the approaching
wireless age will compel people to
wear metal insulated suits, protect
ing them from deadly electric waves.
A new form of violent toothache.
it is said, already has been caused in
those exposed thereto, as well as loss
of hair of some of the senses.
The scientist points out that there
is no essential difference between
wireless waves and the y rays
whose terrible nerve shriveling eff
fects are well known.
He estimates that only one three
hundredth million of the electrical
energy generated for message are
by stations only a mile
apart is actually used. The rest is
dispersed in the atmosphere and
hits us somewhere.

Press Opinions
The Passing Diaz

In dignified and touching words
Porfirio Diaz, the one great states
man whom Mexico has produced,
retires from office and bequeaths
his memory to a future generation.
Nobody can doubt that when
Diaz first assumed the presidency Of
Mexico a dictatorship was necessary
if there was to be any stable gov
eminent at all, Whether the time
has come when the Mexican people
can themselves establish and main
be seen. There are few signs of it
now. The government, such as it
is. is Madero, who appoints state
governors, supposed ito be elected,
and employs his army to install
them in office.
In his youthful days Porfrio
Diaz was q brave soldier, a success
Juarea the leader who rescued
Mexico from French domination,
was a small man in comparison to
his then loyal subordinate, Diaz,
who naturally succeeded Juarez in
the presidency.
During his long term of service
Diaz has maintained order in Mex
leo, redeemed and established the
national credit, reformed the fiscal
system and given his country re-
spected place in the family of ma
tions. Capital has been invited, in
dustry developed, communication es-
tablished and the prosperity of
peace has been enjoyed.
AS he has grown old he has not
changed with the times. His habit
of thought and action is what it
was thirty years ago. and his peo-
pie have become FESTIVE under it,.
There have been grave abuses under
his administration, but he did not
introduce them. They are old
abuses which he has not put down.
and have been grossly exaggerated
There has probably been venality in
his government as there always had
been before him Officials have
proba bly, prohted by concessions
There is much complaint of the ad-
ministrative acts of local officials
appointed through political pull,
and, unless such men in Mexico are
much different from similar men
here. there was probably ground
for complaint. 1t is said that the
administration of minor Justice 10
corrupt.
Certainly the government of Diaz
has not been such as would be en-
dured by people like ours, but
Mexico has prospered under it, and
it remains to be seen whether the
people are yet sufficiently advanced
to create a better one. All friends
OF humanity will hope that they are
and will.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE LIGHT PROBLEM

1t is not making too strong state
mpnt that the one question now be-
ing debated and considered in North
Yakima is that of the lighting prob
lem. The Pacific Power and Light
ing company, together with a number
of leading citizens, are opposed to the
construction of a lighting plant by the
city. A great majority of the people
who have expressed themselves are IN
favor of the scheme. AT TINS time
would it not be well to examine care
fully into the bill passed at the recent
session of the Legislature providing for
a public utilities commission. Inc
law went into effect June /, and the
commission has been organized
Hon. Walker Moren, who was large
Nv responsible for the passage or the
legislation, is of the opinion that II
would exactly fit the conditions exist
inc here. We take the position that
II was brought into being for the ex-
press purpose of providing rehet LOT

OF rates for light. water. gas, etc, ana
unon a proper showing will rectlfy the
overcharge and compel the equaiia-
ton Of rates.
The members of the public utilitles
commission have signified their Will
;rpness to come to Yakima and thor
ouehlv investigate the rates charged
nv the lighting company upon 4
showing made by the users OF the
Night and also by the furnishing com
many. the rates would be fixed by the
commission at figure deemed just.
Legislatures are frequently accused
Of frittering away their time. If the
Washington legislature has passed
law that will give relief to the citizens
of this city who claim that they are
being compelled to pay too much Tor
their lights, it should be given large
credit therefor. Let us invoke the
kind offices of the public utilities
commission. and give the law thor
ouph test If it will do away with the
necessity of the city going to the ex-
nensc of paying 100000 for a NUM-
cipaI lighting plant, and at the same
time give us reasonable rates, we
should certainly hasten to avail our
solves of its provisions.

TRAVEL AT HOME
and ABROAD
A Comparison Shows Amer
lean Transportation to Be
Cheaper and Average
Speed Greater

In making comparison of railway
travel at home and abroad three essen
tial factors must be taken into account
comfort, cost, and speed. As to the
first of these, the opinions of traveller
differ widely. The majority of Ameri
cans travelling abroad do not take kindly
to the small compartments of European
railway coaches, while the European
travelling in the United States longs fo'
the cosy section-holding generally fv'
or six persons--in which he is accus
toned to journey on the railroads of hi
own country. But with regard to the
other two factors opinions have nothing
to do; for the questions of cost ant
speed are questions of fact.
The accompanying two tables, show
ing the charges upon railways in Europe
and the United States respectively, are
it is asserted, based on notes made by
traveller of experience in journeyinl
through territory in Europe Of about
500 by 600 miles and corresponding
area in this country. The fares citet

somewhat shocked at the idea of the

LONDON, June e. Great Interest
has been aroused IN the medical
world of London by reports from
Paris of the cures and improve
ments effected in a great number OF
cases of pulmonary and other tu-
berculosis cases by the administra-
ton of preparation of radioactive
menthol-iodne.
This anti Tuberculosis specific was
due to the researches and therapeu-

Budapest, and for the last three
years it has been tested practically
by Dr. Kertez Aba of Budapest and
by entirely Independent specialists,
