New York, May iO.--Justice Hughes has announced that he is willing to enter the presidential race and make the run if Presi- dent Taft wishes him to do so. He refused to be interviewed as to the probability of his being candidate.
 This is taken io hr the first indication that the president is weakening in his strenuous fight with Roosevelt. It is believed that Republican leaders realize that it would mean defeat to the party to attempt to make the race with either Taft or Roosevelt as the nominee and are putting the name of Hughes forward as a candidate upon whom both the standpatters and prOgressives could unite.

For the purposes Of the campaign the

with a prize of IS to be awarded the win

war of being general and gives a large
number of children an opportunity to win
a prize.

to the fact that contestants in the cam
paign may increase their scores by re-
porting to the health department loca-
lions of nuisances. Each competition re-
porting nuisance will be awarded sou
points, DIR. Murray will give suggestions
to any of the contenders as to how they
may discover nuisances in their respective
districts.
With two-thirds Of the July war re-
manning to be waged and the slaughter
of insects to date nearly three and a

believe, according to DR.. Murray. that
by the end Of the month 100000 Of the

To Work All Summer.

AT first John captured only a compare
lively few flies after hard days work
but he stuck to 1t, and now knows the
best methods Of capturing the elusive
pests by the wholesale. He will con-
tinue the work all summer.
One of the best places in the city to
catch flies, the fish wharves. SO far seems
to be undiscovered by the contestants.
Although comparatively few fish are now
beng unloaded, the flies are present in
droves. and traps placed on the wharves
undoubtedly would fill quickly. An added
attraction for the flies is the presence of
several dead rats in various stages Of
decomposition. The farther advanced
the decomposition the more the flies are
in evidence.
Flies in many cases. after partaking of
the germ-infested rat bodies, go to a
milk can to quench their thirst. If the
milk is for baby, it Is not hard to ex-
plain some of the sickness Of children.
