Press The War On The Filthy FLY.

Mobile Daily Register.
With the advent of warm weather
also comes the fly. A systematic
campaign should be started in every
municipality, and ia every home a.
gainst this pest. 1t is menace to
the safety of the community and the
individual. There should be no rea-
son for the existence Of the fly in our
cities and homes. It's presence is
proof positive that there is filth,
trash and refuse for it to breed in;
and the prevalence of flies in large
numbers shows that somewhere con-
ditions are not sanitary and clean.
The creatures are classed first as
dissemlnators of typhoid germs and
other dangerous diseases. I h e
boards of health OF every state should
call attention to the necessity of a
steady and persistent war on the
insects publicly, aud in the home. by
every known means. A fly killed
now will stop million of the Great
ures before frost. Now is the time
to begin the work of determination.
1t is bound to win in the end if kept
up, and in two or three years there
would be very few Of the insects, as
is the case in England since it has
been a settled public policy there to
keep the numbers of the insects down
by an unceasing war upon them.

A communication reaches us by
ore of our correspondents which IS
devoted largely to giving the persua-
sion of some fellow who has fallen a
victim to Mrs. Eddy's teaching.
quoting rather literally from her
book Science of Health, Key to Hea-
ven etc. The Herald is not disposed
to yield its space for the exploitation
of the chimeras taught by Christian
Science. About all the truth there
is in that cult is embodied in the or
dinarily accepted orthodox teaching
as to divine healing in conjunction
with the science of medicine, and the
teaching of the metaphysical philos-
ophers of all ages who have elabor-
ated the triumph Of mind over mat
ter. This paper is not a forum for
theological discussions and the only
reason VIE have made the above state
menl as much at Length as we did
is to show up the faliacies Of a teach
ing sought to spread itself over our
columns. The Eddyites have plenty
of periodicals OF their own for such
publicity, even to a secular daily or
so.

An advertising agency which bids
fair to distinguish itself for cheek
more than anything else, at least in
the journalistic world, sends us a
proposition whereby it offers to use
SO much display space during the
year for National Advertisers and
give us as pay therefor some decks of
new tangled cards with our advertis
ing printed thereon. Well there
will be no such trade as that so far
as the Herald is concerned. We are
not doing anything to popularize
card-playing in this goodly land,
whether it be with the old fashioned
deck or some new tangled device
which but has the same tendency un-
der different gulse. Then besides
we are not such gooses as to give
away the one valuable thing we have
for sale ADVERTISING SPACE for chips
and whetstones- mere baubles to
catch the unwary, simple-minded
country editor. What fools we NOR
tails be, applies to too many country
newspaper publishers, or such pusil-
luminous specimens of cheek would
not be evolved and dished out to us.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Balancing the Diet.

A ho1arced diet means one in
viii A4.1ogenous and uon-nitro-
genous or acid combining foods
are properly combined. and to
find this proper combination we
have only to turn to the guide
that nature has given us. For
the maintenance Of life it is nee
essary that the air we breathe
should contain approximately 70
per cent nitrogen and 81 per cent
oxygen. Strangely enough. the
foods we eat should be gagged
in about the same ratio. There
should be 70 per cent of al
luminous or heterogeneous foods,
and there should be II per cent
Of foods that will tend to offset
the i'll effects or prevent the ac-
emulation of an overa bundance
of the heterogeneous elements.
Meats, poultry. corn, beans, peas,
cereals. cheese. potatoes. etc. are
among the most commonly eaten
heterogeneous foods. To balance
the diet satisfactorily get a good
work on foods" and find out not
only what the heterogeneous sub
stances are. but just how much
nitrogen each contains. These
facts once firmly impressed upon
the mind, it will be an easy mat
ter to adjust the diet to meet
the necessary conditions.

REVIEW
BY DIR. S. A. Steel


This book is the Life Of Stateler"
by E. ]. Stanley 1t may be called
a romance of the frontier. ] shall
always be grateful that my parents
took pains to put into my youthful
hands the biographies of good men,
and encouraged me to read them. /
am sure that | owe great deal to
the acquaintance ] formed in this
way with such men as the ancient
worthless of whom Plutarch wrote,
and modern worthless like Luther and
Wesley and Bascom. These exam
pies fired my imagination, stlmulat-
ed my ambition and called into ac-
ton all the best powers of my soul
] feel quite sure il this Life of
Stateler' had fallen into my hands
then, would have devoured it. He
was pioneer, a veritable path finder
for the kingdom of heaven, one of
that iron hearted race who were ever
foremost in the van of progress, fear
lessly leaplng beyond the known into
the unknown of the wilderness, and
pushing out the boundaries of civil
zation to the very limits OF the globe.
Born in> Kentucky. and happily COP
verified to God in early life, he re-
sponded to a call for workmen
in the West, and went to Missouri
and from there 30 Montana in the
days when it demanded the nerve of
a hero to endure the hardships and
face the dangers Of the way. His
| faithful wife was the companion OF
his travels, his tolls and his triumphs.
Missouri, Kansas, the Indian Terri
tory (now Oklahoma,) Nebraska, Col
orado and the far northwestern
reaches of the country witnessed the
self-denying service of this good man
and heard the Gospel from his lips.
He saw Indian life from a different
standpoint from that of Parkman,
who followed The Oregon Trail, :"
because he went among them for a
different purpose and with nobler
aim. Bein4.a Southern man, the
war shut the door on him for awhile
and he was lucky to miss prison bars
if not halter; but he escaped alike
the Indian tomahawk and the Yankee
bullet, and seemed to hold a charm
AGAINST the devil and all his emissa-
ries. Stanley has tod the story
well, and the book ought to have a
wide circulation. The chapters are
a convenient length for reading in
the family circle. Had the book
come into our home when ] was a
boy, after the evening NEAL and the
table had been cleared, the lamp
would have been placed near one end
of the table. My mother would bave
taken her knitting or perhaps sew
ing, and sat on one side. The chill
dreu would have been seated around,
with two little negro servants in the
in the chimney corners. My father
would have read chapter in this
book, keeping our interest up by ex-
planning points as he read. The
chapter finished, he would have read
few verses from the Bible and then
we would all have knelt down while
he led in earnest prayer. When we
got through the little darkies would
have been fast asleep and some of the
rest of us ready to go to shut-eye-
town. That is the way we used to
do it. Who says, the plan is not
suited to a modern home?

GOVERNOR WILSON'S
CHANCES.
New York World

The World is unable to agree
with its friend Colonel Waiter

Viewing the situation without
prejudice, we should say that the
governor of New Jersey is still
the leading Democratic candidate
for the nomination and that he
is still the only candidate who
has shown strength in all Sec
tions of the country.

mandg for money in this section.
This means something. 1t means
that everybody must economic; we
must live as at little cost as possible
this year. To do this we must have
good gardens, and every farmer can
do that. Plant plenty of potatoes,
both Irish and sweet; plenty of mel
ons, turnips and all sorts of vegeta-
bles for table use as well as stock
RAISE hogs, good hogs, cattle and a
few nice colts. Stop this buying OF
stock out Of the state, raise them at
home. Stay out of debt; debt is a
curse; it paralYzes business; extrava-
gance and bad business policies bring
debt. Live at home. Get a bank ac-
count; begin this year. II you hay Mt
got money to buy extras this year,
do without them, wait till you have
the money. Stop the credit business
Pay cash; the merchant can sell to
you cheaper for cash; he prefers cash
