BIGOTED ATTACKS FROM
THREE CLASSES
X. of C. Commission Studying Under
lying Causes Of Anti-Cath-
-olic Outbreaks.

Chicago.-The Commission on Re-
ligious Prejudice appointed by the
Knights of Columbus ended a three
days executive meeting here to-day.
Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty,
ex-officio member of the commission,
was in attendance, as were also a num-
Der of prominent Catholic laymen
from various parts of the country.
The following members of the COM
mission were present: Colonel T. II.
Callahan, of Louisville, chairman; AL
bert G. Bagiey, Vancouver, B. c.; Jo-
seph L. Scott, Los Angeles, Cal; Jo-
seph C. Pelletier, Boston, and Thomas
A. Lawler, Lansing, Mich.
Much documentary and printed mat
ter was presented and considered.
Colonel P. H. Callahan, chairman,
gave out the following statement:
The commission has been investi-
eating the philosophy underlying the
waves of religious bigotry with which
the country is visited from time to
time. We are gratified with the mag
nificent support being shown by the
general press throughout the country
in condemning bigoted publications
and their supporters.
As a result of its investigation. the
commission has reached the opinion
that these bigoted attacks made upon
religion come largely from three elas-
SEES: rD
First. Those who fail to appreci-
ate the constitutional provision re-
garding freedom of religious worship
or to understand the belief of those
protesting a religion other than their
own.
Second. Those whose purpose is
to destroy not only the Catholic relig-
ion, but all religion and'all duly con-
stituted Government.
Third. Perhaps the worst class
comprises those who, despite their x
pressed motives of high purpose, are
actuated solely by sordid mercenary
considerations.
The commission invites the coop
Grafton of societies and organizations
of all religious beliefs to the end that
the constitutional provision regard
ing freedom of religious worship may
be understood and upheld.
The commission will request the
Postmaster General to make a public
regarding his position on
the exclusion of non-mailable matter
in view of the decisions of the United
States Courts apparently overlooked
by him in his annual report.

FLY MORE DEADLY
THAN CANNONS OF WAR.

In one health exhibit a vivid repre-
s~entation of a fy's ability to kill was
shown by 100 little soldiers placed be-
fore a bottle in which there was a rep
resentation of a typhoid germ. Near
by were signs and indications which
drove home the lesson that of 100 sol
diers in the Spanish war twelve be
came i'll of typhoid fever and n died
Near by was a annon with 100 sol.
diers before it. The signs showed
that of the 100 only one man was in
jured, despite all Of the firing of the
war, and none was killed. Thus the
housefy was shown in the case -o1
the Spanish war to have been more
deadly than the arms and artillery
The fly was shown in all of his
~harmfulness, despite the impression
that he is insignificant.

Dog-Meat?

A new export industry has sprung
up IN Denmark as a consequence Of
the war, that of the making of gull
lach-a kind of stew. Gullach is
packed in tins and forwarded to Ger
many In great quantities. Every
can't factory, workshop and bakery all
over the country has been turned into
a cooking place for the production of
guliach. Even with this increase of
facilities the manufacturers say that
the demand is greater than the sun
ply, Anybody who can cook gullach
need only. apply to the German GUAR
termaster's Office in Berlin to get
funds to put up a factory for cooking
1T. The consumption by the German
army OF guLach amounts to millions
of tins weekly.

KILL THE FLY BEFORE HE RISES
FROM HIS FILTHY BED.

The favorite breeding place of flies
is the manure pile. The great major
ity of these pesky, dangerous insects
come into life in our stable waste.
Until recently there was no simple,
efficient and inexpensive method
known whereby maggot life (the early
stage of fly life) could be destroyed
in manure without injuring the fer
tilizing value of the manure
Paris green in watery solution-one
pound to twenty-five gallons Of water
appears to be the solution of the
problem. 1t proves to be highly eff
Gent as a maggot killer.
Take a common garden watering
can, fill it with water, add a teaspoon
full of paris green and stir until dis
solved. Use daily on the manur and
you will swat the hy in the most eff
fective way.
This weak solution is not dangerous
to stock. They would have to eat
large quantities of the bedding to be
affected. However, the solution should
be kept out Of the reach of children
Remember, the most effective way
to swat the fly is to swat it before it
lis born.

COOPERATIVE EGG MARKETING.

1t may not be generally known that
through the efforts of progressive
poultrymen throughout the State and
local poultry organizations in every
county, there has been organized a
system of cooperative egg marketing
which u~-to-date has seemed to war
rant the hopes entertained for its
success. With the aid of the New
Jersey State Agricultural Experiment
Station this method has been adopted
by the New Jersey State Poultry AS
~sociations as a medium for marketing
the products of its members.
The plan as set forth in outline
in a circular prepared by a member
of the Poultry Department at the
New JERSEY Experiment Station Gin
cludes the selection of reliable, expert
enced dealers in the large cities to
act as agents."
New York is the market selected.
Instead of startin~ under a handicap
by setting up a new store with mex
perienced operators, as has often been
tried, the association has adopted the
idea of shipping to an experienced
agent.
All members of local associations
which are affiliated with n asSocla-
ton are privileged to send their eggs
to this agent, who carefully grades
and packs them, thus insuring uni
formity in the product as it reaches
the trade, and doing away with the
detail work which some producers
have been forced to u This
agent carries on the business of sell
ing in his own way but under the
supervision and with the full coop
Grafton of the association. Returns
are made on the day of sale and all
possible energy is used to expedite
the movement Of the eggs.
Arrangements a be made by indi-
vidual shippers to have a part or al
of their eggs stored during seasons OF
heavy production and consequent low
prices.
This plan has in mind the building
up of better marketing methods anc
facilities year by year by reason Of
experience gained and reputation Sc
cured. Further information may be Sc
cured by addressing Mr.. A. L. Clarl
at the New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton, New Brunswick, N. J..

NEW JERSEY SALMON
ONCE TOO PLENTIFUL.

Whereas only the wealthy Jersey
man can now afford to eat fresh sal
mon, there was a time when this fish
was so cheap and plentiful in New
Jersey that a law was passed forbid
ding farmers to serve salmon to their
hired help more than three times a
week. At that time the Delaware riv-
er teemed with salmon as does the
Columbia river of the Northwest to-
day; but there were no game laws
with the central idea of conservation
of natural and no game
wardens to enforce them, and this
great food supply, through ignorance,
lost to posterity.
The salmon are said to have been
so plentiful that farmers along the
Delaware Melted them by the millions
and carted them away to fertilize
their lands. Hired men on the farms
got such a surfeit of salmon for
breakfast, salmon for dinner and sal
mon for supper that they put up a
kick to their employers; but, getting
no relief, appealed to the lawmakers,
and the unique statute was the result.
Thesloss of the salmon to the Della
ware is only one of many similar trag-
edies in the history of Americas nat
ural that tell how the public
has demanded too late the locking of
the barn door. On the other hand,
these grim lessons teach the value of
modern fish and game protection SER
vice and the need for public co-opera-
ton in the work of State game war
dens to conserve for the benefit Of
the public the remaining fish and
game.
Years ago, when the buffalo rang
ed the Western plains in countless
numbers, the hide-hLnters slaughtered
and wantonly wasted the meat. In
an early day the herds of elk in West
ern mountains were treated in the
same way. Game was too abundant
then to think of checking the slaugh-
ter. In the early seventies, and ever
in the eighties, the passenger pigeon
was SO abundant in the East that the
birds fairly blackened the sky during
their migrations. Where they nestled
in great colonies through the Middle
West they were slaughtered without
limit. Men knocked the nestlings
from the trees and fattened their hogs
on them. If we had used these birds
economically, today they would fur
nish food for our people. With the
countless millions of wild pigeons of
a generation ago, few could have con-
ceived of their total disappearance,
Today there is no record of a single
surviving bird of this species.

VALUE OF STRONG ROOTS ON
TOMATO PLANTS.

Many growers of late tomatoes for
canning purposes underestimate the
Importance of good plants for field
setting. Under ideal weather and soil
conditions very small and weak plants
will live, but the experience of several
years past in some parts of the State
has shown that such conditions are not
apt to prevail; hence, in dry seasons,
and always in northerly localities
where re-planting is likely to give too
late a crop, the strength of the first
plants set is an all-important point.
Some planters prefer to run the risk
of losing plants, with the intention of
re-planting such as are lost rather
than to take a little extra care in pro-
ducing sets of the best kind. In the
unusual season, such as that of 1914,
such growers are almost certain to
sustain a loss.
The first characteristic of the strong
plant is a strong and extensive root
system, since with such a root system
there usually goes a stock stem, which
all rover like to have. Crowded
plants cannot develop the right kind
of roots, for the simple reason that
they have not room enough for ex-
pansion. Some growers who aim to
get an early start by sowing seed in
the greenhouse or cold frame may Of
ten lose all they expect to gain, be-
cause they feel compelled to utilize all
the space to the utmost by crowding
the seedlings. In many such cases
field sowing, with more space between
the plants, would give as good or bet
ter results with less labor.
The New Jersey State Experiment
Station conducted experiments last
year in cooperation with a North Jer-
sey canning company, for the purpose
of determining how best to secure
strong root systems on seeding toma-
to plants. The conclusions here CIV
en- were based only upon the appear
ance of the roots produced by the sew
eral treatments, as it was impossible
to follow the plants to the field. The
seedlings used were grown in rows a
foot apart, and were treated uniform
ly until they had started their second
leaves. One row of plants, about for
ty feet, was used for each treatment.
Row 1 received no treatment. The
resulting plants had long taproots, the
side roots being small and nearly all
removed when the plants were pulled.
hOW Z WAS lliliiilSu ~ tudI ouC
plants stood about an inch apart in
the row. These plants became much
stockier and the side roots were strong
enough to resist ~'breakage when pull
ed.
Row 3 was transplanted, the plants
being set back in the same row one
inch aprt. The root systems became
much branched.
Row A was undercut, that is, the
taproots were cut off about an inch
below the surface by running a knife
blade obliquely through the soil. The
side roots above the cut became strong
and thrifty.
Row 5 was thinned before being un-
dercut. This row developed the strong
est ROOT systems of any under expert
ment.
1t is the opinion of the Experiment
Station authorities that transplanting
could be done much more easily and
cheaply than many growers seem to
think. Where transplanting is not
done, thinning is advised. Growers
are urged to try the undertaking
method on a few rows this year, as
this method promises good results.

NORMAL SCHOOL GIRLS HELP IN
SWAT THE FLY" CAMP AIGN.

Sixteen normal school girls of Cleve-
land registered as neophyte fiyswat-
tiers and received the first degree of
the order. They were taken on a
tour of the alleys behind the Central
market by Dr.. Jean Dawson, fly swat
ter in chief.
The young women were carefully
instructed in the.most approved meth
DDS of stalking the insect, and many
dresses and white shoes were muddied
and soiled.
Then they were assigned in pairs
to investigate districts designated by
DR.. Dawson. They did not enter
houses, combining their efforts to back
yards and alleys. 1t was on their re-
ports that wagons were sent out to
collect refuse, a number of the citys
waste paper wagons having been as
signed to haul the rubbish.

SIMPLE TRAP FOR CATCHING
THE DISGUSTING FLY.

How to proceed against the nasty
fly is told in a bulletin issued by the
North Carolina state board of health
as follows:
make a box A by 2 by l 1-2 feet.
Make the two sides of the box of
18-mesh wire screen. Make the top,
bottom and ends of the box of any
wood, preferably white pine.
Through the bottom of the box cut
three holes about six inches in diam
eter. Over these holes fasten three
cones of the same wire that composes
the sides of the box. The opening in
the little end of the cones should be
ameter. Through either the top or
sliding trapdoor should be made for
removing the contents of the trap.
Tack two strips 18x1hx1h inches at
the end of the box on the bottom, so
that when the box is placed upon a
floor or level surface the con covered
openings in the bottom of the box
will be about one and a half inches
from the surface on which the box is
resting.
"You now have one of the very best
fly traps tl.at a b. made. Place
the trap just outside the back door or
near the window or door of the house
where the flies congregate in largest
numbers. Place it close to where the
slops are kept. Put sugar, molasses,
clabber or, best, when available, fish
heads for bait just beneath the bases
of the cones. The flies in leaving the
bait will fly upward toward the light
into the cones and crawl through the
small opening into the trap"

HOUSEFLY A WORSE
PEST THAN THE TSETSE.

A recent editorial in the Medical
Record suggests the slogan, mo filth,
no flies-and no diseased" This edi-
torial urges that we follow the fly to
her breeding place and make it decent
and sanitary. In it we are told we
must get rid of "the insanitary closet,
the manure heap, the uncovered gar
bage an. All refuse and decaying
material and all vegetable and table
waste should be removed and be burn
ed or covered with lime or kerosene
OIL"
"This is a very good plan,' argues
the medical profession, "but one fam
lily that is careless about the disposal
of garbage can breed more flies than
an entire community can kill" Then,
again, our typhoidal housef1y, unlike
the tsetse fly, does not convey its de-
tlicacies of fever, ~dysentery, tuberculo-
sis, ETC., in single doses by direct bite,
but administers them to us with a
largeness of insolent Indifference in
our food and drink. The tsetse fly is
harmless after it has bitten a victim,
and it's bits would have no evil effect
unless it again acquired a new supply
of the trypanosome (the germ OF
sleeping sickness), but every bite from
the germ carrying tsetse fly is fatal
as no remedy has been discovered thai
will check the ravages of or cure this
terrible disease.

SWAT THE MURDEROUs
FLY;HE Is MANKIND'S
ARCH ENEMY.

Pshaw! you will say, Flies! How abb
surd! Harmless insects of no partic-
ular Importance. Now, if it should
be wolves or great rats, even-Would
it astonish you, would it shock you, to
be told that thousands of children are
slain by flies each year? Would you
be surprised to learn that in one city
of the United States over 1000 per-
sons lost their lives from intestinal
diseases believed by certain scientists
to be traceable to the "harmless in
sect" that is now buzzing on your win
dowpane or against your screen door?
Suppose it were solemnly stated by
scientists of international repute that
anterior poliomyelitis, or infant par
alysis, of which one hospital in New
York alone received and treated hum
dreds of cases in one recent summer,
a be carried by one of the kinds of
flies you pass by as of mo particular
Importance" What would you say
then? And it is true, every word of
it. Walk into your kitchen and OBJ
serve the number of flies there. Are
there a hundred, a t~housand?. You
had better find a eonfiagration as you
open the door, for its possibilities of
disaster are not much greater, says
DR.. Pease in Good Housekeeping.
1t is recognized that any reform
must begin with the individual and
grow from him or her. The fly cam
paign has been successful only in a
very moderate degree, because 90 per
cent of the hundred million among
whom we live are asleep to the dan
ger or refuse to take it seriously. The
slumbering infant, the aged parent,
the romping youth, the rugged ath-
lete, all tomorrow may be victims of
the filthy pest.
