True Arnericanism
Still Prevails.

No matter what may be the diff
ferences in opinion as to the DISPOSE
ton Of the many measures involving
policy which have been considered by
the present session Of congress, the
United States senate a few days ago
took one action which will, no doubt,
meet with the unanimous approval
of the citizens of the entire country.
This was the passing Of bill appro-
priating the sum of 100000 for the
relief of sufferers in the mississippi
valley flood district. The bill was in
troduced by Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, and no trouble was expert
enced In gaining its passage.
This is a good illustration of how
soon the true American spirit over
comes party prejudice and everything
else when the question of humanity
is introduced, and, after reading the
newspaper accounts of the heated de-
bates and wrangles so frequent in our
legislative halls, it is refreshing to
see the evidence of such an admira-
BILE Christian spirit.
The incident also affords a strik-
ing contrast between the conditions
on this hemisphere, where the spirit
of brotherhood is so manifest, and
on the other side of the world, where
war and turmoil exist and where
brother Is divided against brother.

San Antonio Express.

til April % or 80, when, as the period
of CESSATION advances, the flight is
greatly reduced. During the months
of May, June and about two weeks in
July, the flight is only for few
hours, and that always after midnight,
and returning before daybreak. How
ever, after July Is the new baby bats
are able to care for themselves, and
are no longer carried about clinging
mechanically to the mother.
During all of this time, that is
from February Is to the last week in
July, the adult bats weigh only tri-
file over a quarter of an ounce which
gradually increases until by the end
of the mosquito season, or about No
vember Is, they weigh against as
much, or a trifle over half an ounce.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-02-07

This increase in weight consists of
the clearest kind of fat, which COM
pletely covers its little body, and it is
this fat that lis consumed during the
period of Information and tides its lit
tie life over until the next mosquito
season. This fat it must have, there
fore it il. so active after the last week
in July.
Nov, the householder in whose
house the bats have found Judgment,
can easily get rid of them by simply
observing their place of exit in the
evening, and plugging up the open
ing after they have left to forage for
the night. It must be remembered
that bats do not gnaw holes in peo-
pies houses like rats or mice, to get
in. There usually is. some defective
workmanship, an opening perhaps no
wider than the diameter of an ordi-
nary lead pencil, which is ample for
the entrance of bat. Neither do
they destroy or eat peoples groceries;
they simply occupy some places that
affords them hiding place during the
day. If the householder will observe
the place of exit towards evening, and
after they are all out close the open
ing, he will observe that they will re-
turn in the morning and make numer-
Gus attempts to re-enter. After several
attempts they will leave, sometimes
for about an hour, and again return
and attempt to find their old home.
Failing in this, they leave for good,
and the house is rid of them. The
closing up of the openings where they
are entering should not be attempted
until after the last week in July, or
preferably little later, as some of
the creatures might be permanently
imprisoned and of course will die, only
to add very disagreeable odor."

| if the city knows it someone is likely
to pay a fine ranging from S. to
$500. It's .. perfectly good ordinance,
and it is being enforced. There's a
reason. Bats help to preserve the
health of the city.
Now this bat roost is the outgrowth
Of a resolution adopted by the Bexar
County Medical society recommending
that the city take steps to protect bats
here at least. DR.. C. R. Campbell,
the pioneer of the theory that bats
will eradicate malaria and mosquitoes,
told the members of the society how
the public health would be safeguared
in protecting bats, so the doctors
acted at once.
For number of years DR.. Camp
bell has been putting his theory into
practice concerning bats, mosquitoes
and malaria, Whole communities
have been rid of mosquitoes and the
suffering they cause, and so DIR.
Campbell has become famous. Greater
recognition has come to him from
abroad than at home.
The King of Italy was so impressed
with the discovery of this. San An
tonic practitioner that some time ago
his royal parsonage had bat roost
erected on one of his estates near
Rome, and it has been working won
ders at last accounts. Not only that,
but the Italian publications Of all
kinds have been eager to print any
articles DIR. Campbell might have on
the subject.
Had not almost the whole of Europe
been plunged into war, DIR. Campbell
would now be at work in Franz Jo-
seph's realm. The Austrian govern
ment made him a proposition to come
to that country and enlighten its
health officers on the value of bats.
The government offered him $4,000
for a years services.
Just now Japan is studying bats.
Over in Nippon the people are trou-
bled with mosquitoes and malaria, and
it has cost the government a pretty
penny in the amount of work it has
lost because of illness among its sub
jects. To promote greater effici-
ency among the yankees of the
Orient, "the Japanese government has
taken official cognizance of bats.
There are other lands in which the
Campbell theory is now being given
more than passing consideration and
it is a comparatively recent discovery
that not alone do they annihilate mos
quitoes, but are also making war upon
the destructive moths that leave q
wake of ruin in apple orchards.
For long time the belief has been
prevalent that bats are carriers of
bedbugs. Nothing is further from the
truth, for In all years of research and
constant handling of bats DR.. Camp
bell is thoroughly convinced such is
not the case. Discussing the habits of
the bat, he said this:
81 am often asked by people into
whose houses bats have found home,
how do you get rid of them.
mo one wants bats in the home,
because of the odor of the guano and
the respect of the law that protects
them. To get rid of them is an easy
matter. when one has the slightest
knowledge of their habits.
