$ARcHBIsHoPskEANE's ATTACK.
UPON THE SALOONS.

Archbishop John J. Keane (retir-
@ed) fiercely attacked the saloons in
n recent sermon preached by him
lin the Dubuqu, Cathedral. !
The archbishop said that the mem
DRY Of Father Matthew would be for
ever blessed for his light against in
& Temperance. Thank God, he ex-
claimed that over " in old Ireland sl1yi
1 when Z was a boy r took the pledge
Il (ofs temperance from Father Mat;
thew with my father; and thank God
when Father Matthew came to this
country, to Richmond, Va, I again
took the pledge from him with my
father p. Il. .s:. Ms
He then directed his remarks to the!
petition Of saloon consent now being
I circulated in Dubuque and said he
hoped no Catholic had signed it, and
& that any who had would withdraw
their names. He denounced saloons,
which he called t.drink-shops, F" in
scathing terms, and said that impu-
Srity attends .intemperance, SO that
where the saloon is the bawdy house
/ is found. and that where the two are.
there is loss Of faith, neglect Of
church and the sacraments, those
who engaged in evil fearing to go to
the sacraments; they are ashamed
he, said. .5sl
No one knows the evils of intern
perance better than the venerable
Archbishop. He will not be able at
this time to completely overthrow the
saloon element in his home city, but
he will help Dubuque to take anoth-
er step in, that direction. He has
done much for Dubuque in years past,
made the city a better place in
which to build a home and raise
a family, but his work is not yet
finished. A majority Of the people,
of Dubuque SILL want the saloon.

FORESTRY FIRE LOSSES.

As the summer progresses without
heavy fire losses on the national for
ests, the forest service is having
higher hopes for small fire damage
during 1918. Not only has the fire
loss on national forests to date been
gratifyingly small but conditions ev-
erywhere except in the southwest, ac4
cording to the officials of the forest
service, are more than ordinarily fav-
orable. They point out. however,
that the situation may change almost
over night. and that comparatively
short period of general dry weather
and high winds may bring disaster.
The appropriations for fire lighting
are not yet large enough to insure
immunity from heavy losses.
A system of telegraphic reports
from the field keep the chief forester
at Washington informed as to condi-
lions on the 1853 forests under federal
supervision. During the past week
general rains in the far western
states, with the exception of Arizona
and New Mexico, have reduced the
present fire danger to a minimum.
But in the latter two states the
weather is reported very dry, with
occasional electrical storms that
bring chances for fires set by light
ming. Four fires are burning on the
Coconino forest in Arizona, and dur
ing the past week there have been So
fires all told in the two southwestern
states The acreage burned is report
ed as 1890 acres, as against only 20
acres reported burned on national
forests in all the other western states.
Thus far this season there have
been 30,79S acres burned over on the
national forests, or only sixteen
lthousandths of one per cent of the
acreage which the forests include.

accustomed, OF course. he Is ready TO
condemn the whole affair.
Now, after all, the program is not
the most important thing at ChaH.
tauqua. The audience is the more i'm
portant, the more interesting. Thou
sands of very hard workers gather for
a week of comparative rest and OF
quiet visiting. of sedate sociabilityr al
these Chautanqua meetings. And
among these thousands, there is new.
er a one who forgets where he is, or
who has left his manners at home,
There is ever perfect order and decor
UNI and yet there is nobody in eyi-
dence bedecked with club and star
and gold braid
In the lives of many thousands of
industrious people, the Chautauqua
week is the thing looked forward to
with interest for year and then
looked back to fondly for another
year. 1t is the very best thing that
has come into the state and into the
lives of very many of the, people In
many years, and apparently it.. has
come to stay.
And the programs are growing
better, the audiences are growing
more discriminating, and there must
be constant Improvement in the at,
fractions offered. to hold the approval
of the people. who are paying more
attention to music, to literature, to
arts and sciences, to all that interests

A TIMELY FLY WARNING.

In every town and locality in the
state, says the current Health Bulle-
tin, many people have failed to heed
the numerous warnings that have
been issued against flies. Attention
has been sailed to the fact that they
are one of lAe most dangerous men
ances to life and health with which
mankind has to- contend, being re,
sponsihle fol. large proportion of all
cases of typhoid fever and diarrhoeal
diseases of infants and many cases OF
tuberculosis and other contagious
diseases.
They have caused thousands OF
deaths in Iowa and will continue their
work of destruction until housekeep.
ers awaken to the fact and inaugu-
rate warfare that will result in their
determination.
This can be accomplished definitely
and effectively. 1t requires only the
removal of filth. Flies breed in filth
and in filth alone. Without filth
there can be no flies. More than nine.
ty per cent. of them breed in stable
manure and the balance in garbage,
outhouses and other forms of refuse.
The fly season is at hand. Prompt
action at this time may prevent many
deaths during the summer and fall
and grave responsibility rests upon
all health officers and other citizens.
AN Immediate and thorough clean
ing of premises should be enacted and
further accumulations of filth avoided.
Stable manure should be, kept in
vaults or boxes-screened or covered
or frequently sprinkled with lime or
kerosene and should be removed at
least once week.
Garbage receptacles should be care
fully covered and the contents sprin-
killed. with unslacked lime or oil.
Privy vaults should be made fly
proof and their contents sprinkied
with lime.
In addition to the measure for the
prevention of the breeding of flies,
every effort should be made to pre-
vent them from entering the house
or having access to milk or other
foods.
All doors and windows, especially
those of the kitchen and dining room
should be screened.
Food exposed for sale should DE
screened and ordinances to this effect
should be enacted and enforced.
Flies should be especially kept
away from the sick and if one is dis
covered in the sick room it should be
killed. EXcreta and urine from the
sick should be covered with fresh
lime for an hour and then buried.
People who have cleaned their own
premises should demand that their
neiehbors should do likewise and
notify the Board of Health of any fail
ures or refusals. 1t is important to re.
member that no house is safe unless
every other one for a mile around is
clean. 1T. E y5. ils.s9 IL E"9

cHAUTAuouA SEASON.

The Chautauqua season is on In
Iowa and neighboring states. The Os
kaloosa assembly comes next month
August II TO 20 inclusive. Every
where this year the programs are
said to be excellent, and the attend
ance is good
"The casual observer. says the Bur
lington Hawk-Eye. lis not apt to re
alize the fun benefit Of the Chautau
qua, and he is apt TO criticise the pro
grams severely and to predict that
the Chautauqua is going TO go out OF
fashion much more rapidly than II
came In.
That is quite frequently the trou-
BILE with the casual observer that he
does not note the things OF real in-
terest. He does not get at the heart
Of the matter. He concentrates all his
attention upon the program and the
people who give IT, and as some Of
these are different from the style Of

FAMILIES WITHOUT BIBLES.

A report issued by the American
Bible society shows that a large num-
Der OF famiiies IN the United States
has been found without copy Of
the Bible. In fact, the number is so
large that the society is renewing its
efforts to increase its circulation
AT the same time, observes the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, the Bible
Is being translated into every foreign
tongue. China, Japan, Zululand, Siam,
Portugal Arabia and, in fact, prac-
tically every country accessible to
the white man has been made field
for distribution of the work.
But the most interesting figures are
taken from the United States. In the
northwestern agency 14,4S0 families
were found to be without a copy of
holy writ in their homes. In the west
ern agency 1929; in the southwest
ern, 24.0S7. To help supply Bibles to
these people 428 persons have been
employed and are now at work.
Wars, revolutions and political
troubles did not prevent distribu-
ton which was wider than ever be-
fore. In China alone 1.26s, 1879 copies
were put into circulation. A total of
1888 persons are employed in max
ing the distribution. or this number
S02 are paid colporteurs, and the 9TH
ers are what are termed correspond
ents. ss
Anew impetus has been given the
translation of the work into foreign
tongues, and it is expected that the
year 1913 viii see a greater increase
than ever before.
The Zulu version, while not ready
for general distribution, is practically
completed. The new testament was
put in Loas for the inhabitants of
Siam. The Union Wenli version and
the Union Mandarin version Of the
old testament are designed for China.
A bilingual new testament with the
American revised Portuguese version
is now being designed. In the Levant
the completion of the translation of
St Matthew in Kurdish from Armen-
ian to Arabic letters has been com
pieted. This is the fifth year Of an
offer to make the Arabic Bible what
the society wants it to be in that
language.
