NY given chance to spread it. A
related disease of cattle, horses and
sheep, known as souma. and malady
of hogs and cats are also carried, at
least in part, by this same insect.
Investigators consider the fly to be
an agent in transmitting CHAMBERS,
while a disease known as infectious
anemia or swamp fever of horses is
thought by some to be carried by this
fly. number of years ago it was
found to act as a transmitter of q
species of roundworm that infects cat
tie.
Animals weakened by loss of blood
are more prone to contract other
diseases. Texas fever" in an acute
form often attacks live stock that has
become less energetic in fighting with
stable flies. The joints of both horses
and cattle sometimes become so swol-
len from standing in water where they
sought protection from flies, that they
can hardly walk.
Even man may be inoculated with
disease by this pest. Septicemia
(blood-poisoning) is considered to be
carried by it and demonstrations of
famous physicians have pointed to the
possibility of the transmission of in
fantile paralysis in the same manner
Thus it will be seen that the transmits
sion of a formidable array of diseases
is chargeable to the stable fly.
The stable fly is one of the most
widely distributed of insects, being

GERMANY DUPES TURKS

when [ arrived in Constantinople Thanks
ing day, 1914 the city and empire were in fer
ment," writes DR.. Wilfred M Post assistant sur
geon and superintendent of the American hos
pltal at Konia, Turkey, for many years. ga holy
war had been preached, and the prospect held
out by German agents before the dazzled eyes
OF the Young Turk party was that of a united
Mahometan empire of 25O,OOO,OOO souls, led by
and presided over by Turkey, which should be
the one great dominating power of the orient,
while Germany was to be the only power of
Importance in the west. This was no idle hope
but a definite promise made to the Turkish lead
ers by the Germans, and the vision Of a great
empire like that of Tamerlane's is still floating
before their eyes. The German control of Turkey
is absolute. The Ottoman gold is in Berlin, and
Turkey is flooded with paper notes, backed by
German promises to pay several years after the
conclusion of peace. And yet the shrewd Ger
man is not yet ready to colonize in Turkey. No
cOlonlsts have come to the fruitful AnatOlian
plains, and no manufacturing or commercial en-
terprises other than those strictly military have
been started. So Germany is not quite ready to
regard Turkey as her own, dearly as she covets
her, and the Turks themselves say that some
fine day the Germans will fold their tents and
silently steal away, leaving them to the mercy
of their enemiesw

mo False Economy" So very OPPORTUNITY
breaches the Germania Herald of Milwaukee,
Within recent weeks everybody has talked
economy. Now it seems that this talk published
by request of the United States food commission
has been misunderstood even by some of our
good housewives who stated that they would not
economic before their "dear husbands had done
their bit by stopping buying CIGARS tobacco and
drinks" Let these housewives understand one
II ing:
The food administration did not admonish
them to spend less money What was asked of
them was to avoid all waste in foodstuffs and use
as little possible of certain of our foodstuffs-
for instance wheat, meats, fat and sugar. But
with the permission of our food administration
all of our housewives might have spent as much
money as they pleased for deicacies to be set be-
fore the master Of the house; pheasants, wild
ducks, Holsters, salmon and other fish, bears
meat, venison and so on.
And here we come to our point Beware of
false economy. We say this to people whose cir
cunstances do not compel them to turn every
cent twice before they spend it, to people who
need not bother about the question how to feed
and clothe their families Especially in these
times, people Of means should not be unduly eco
nomical. Now is the time to let money circulate
SO that the poor man may be able to earn and
spend also Everybody will profit as long as
money circulates freely. Merchants have to meet
their obligations also and to pay higher taxes
Unless they prosper no one will.
Whoever has money let him spend it and he
will help the masses and increase general pros

not forget that elemental fact

ABUSING ROOSEVELT

It seems to be favorite pastime with some
men when they have nothing else to do, to abuse
Theodore Roosevelt. That Teddy was a presi-
dent of the United States for seven years has
little weight with them. That during those seven
years more constructive work was done than
probably during any other similar period weighs
but little in their minds That more real abuses
were corrected during that period and that
America set firmly on it's feet as construc-
tive democracy counts for little with jackals
who bark at a lion.
AS a farseeing man pointed out not long ago
one of the tasks of German diplomacy has been
to discredit Roosevelt in the minds of the Ameri-
can people. Prussia fears and hates Roosevelt
because he represents force that would cast
Prussianism from it's entertainments forever By
this we mean that Roosevelt is absolutely and
firmly fearless. That he sees issues clearly and
is not afraid to meet them. Pottsdam would de-
stroy his following for it knows that Roosevelt
understands and represents Americanism to the
Nth power.
The abusers of Roosevelt can keep up their
foul work and have the satisfaction of knowing
that they are in full accord with Kaiser Wilhelm
and Berlin.

A MUNICIPAL FUEL YARD

How much dead timber lies in and around Lam
caster? How many useless trees are there? How
much timber is there within hauling distance
OF the city? How much would it cost to cut it
up and haul it in? How much of it could be OBJ
tanned for the mere cutting? Could the city sell
cord wood at cost?
These and other questions could be readily
solved by a city fuel commissioner or council
committee. The Herald believes that in wood
country like ours a fuel shortage is ridiculous.
1t does no credit to our community sense that
we cannot in a crisis like the present combine
our efforts and purchase our fuel Also it need
not be said that the less coal we burn here the
more for other less fortunately situated places.
This last is patriotic duty.
What we really need is leadership and our
mayor and city council are the ones to act
