1.-THE FILTHY fly
! A PUBLIC MENACE
OUR DUTY. THE DUTY OF THE
MAN OF THE HOITCF

OUR DUTY. THE DUTY OF THE
MAN OF THE HOUSE.
l should think the first duty of the
man of the house would be to screen
his house. The cost is not much-far
less than the cost of one spell of sick
ness in the family. 1t would be a
good idea if he would make tour of
inspection of his present screens and
tack up loose places, replace worn out
pieces, and see that the doors shut
tight.
AS we have said before, a great
breeding place is the manure pile.
This should be in some enclosed place
in a dark corner; it ought to be alb
solutely fiy-prcof, but perhaps this is
impracticable. In the gardening sea-
son, which is the fly season, it should
be spread out on the garden at least
once every five or six days, realize
that this is one of the great problems
connected with the fly and one not
yet solved entirely satisfactorily. If
anyone is interested, | have the plans
for a fy-proof concrete manure pit
1t is very likely that the most of the
flies that trouble US have bred close
to us-in our own barn yard or in
that of neighbor. Proof Of this is
given in the results of observations
at the department of agriculture at
Washington. The offices had been
badly troubled with flies. About zoe
yards behind was stable with twelve
horses which stable was of course
carefully kept but the manure was
| piled outside and removed every week
'or ten days. This manure was sc
treated that the breeding was mostly
stopped. Employees in the building
who knew nothing of the fly fighting
were questioned, and with one excep
ton said there had been a marked
decrease in the number of flies.
To be sure the man of the house
should see that all sanitary ordinances
are strictly complied with, so far az
his home and surroundings are con
cerned.

his brother, DR.. J. P. Dickerson, who
died Saturday. DR. .Dickerson was a
brother of the late DR.. G. d. Dicker-
son of this city, and has visited here
several times.
THE money you spend in painting
your house is we'll invested-even bet
ter than fire insurance, because you
know that your house will damage if
not painted at the proper time. But
you do not know you will have fire.
Still money spent for either is a good
investment. See me when you want
some paint or varnish. w. w. West

OPPOSE The RAILROAD bills
representatives of Pennsy and Balti-
more and Ohio Against Teleg-
rapher's Two-day Rest Bill

10 When the House Railroad Committee
convened in the Senate caucus room
yesterday afternoon at go O'Clock
three important railroad bills were dis,
cussed.
The first, known as house bill No.
203, requiring all locomotives to be
equipped with high-power headlights,
was strongly opposed by number of
representatives of both the Pennsylva-
MIA and Baltimore and Ohio railroads.
as well as the Erie. The Pennsy com
pany was represented in this city by
o. T. kellar, a passenger engineer on
the Philadelphia division. who said that
high-power headlights are not neces-
sary and, so far as he is concerned, he
would just as soon run an engine with
no light at ALL
The second bin was known as House
bill No. 113, requiring automatic bell
ringers to be placed ON all locomotives.
Little opposition was presented to this
bill
The last of the bills, known as House
bill No. 297, requires that all tele-
graph operators employed in the move
ment of trains be given at least two
days rest out of each calendar month
This bill was strongly opposed by the
attorneys representing the railroads
The rebuttal to this bill was made by
A. L. Rex. a Pennsy telegrapher, who
represented the Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers. Mr.. Rex showed that prior
to the enactment of the 9-hour railway
telegraphers law in 1907 the railroads
often worked their men IS, "a and 26
consecutive hours.

u. S. TO make PROTEST TO
BRITAIN ABOUT BLOCKADE

Washington, March 1S.-Whether
to acquiesce in or protest against the
action of Great Britain and her allies
in declaring a blockade against Ger
many was the question which confront
ed the American government to-day
following the publication of the COM
plete series of notes between the Unit
ed States and the European belliger-
ents regarding the safety of neutral
shipping. Officials were to-day collect
ing data for what is expected to be a
vigorous protest against the form of
the proposed blockade against Ger
many. President Wilson already has
indicated that protest would be made.
There were all told six notes. Their
publication by the State Department
not only cleaned the slate of diplo-
matte correspondence out recorded the
failure of efforts on the part of ad-
ministration officials to bring the bel
ligerents to realize the dangers which
their actions place on the neutral COM
merce of the world. This is a keen dis
appointment to officials.
The publication of the correspond
enee revealed that the allied blockade
operations would not be conducted
outside of European waters, inelad-
ing the Mediterranean For the first
time the British used the word "block-
ade' in describing their new policy.
