did not anticipate an open crit
icism of the article published in
The Record last week, for such
would have to be offered against
the church, which in principle is
beyond just criticism, But the ar
ticle has provoked several ques-
tons, which could have been rea-
sonahly anticipated, and are but
natural in view of the sentiment
regarding the subject in question.
The questions offered are not so
much personal, hence they cannot
be answered satisfactorily individ-
ually. The questions are as univer-
sal as the subject itself, so that a
public answer to them will be the
more practical manner of meeting
the proposition. Two or three
questions were anticipated last
week and met ahead in the article
published, and we thought that
might suffice as an answer to any
others which might be suggested.
But it S the nature of evil to fight
for existence with every possible
weapon at its command. So we are
not surprised at the further ques-
tions proposed. The following is a
sample of the questions offered.
They have been offered in the
kindest of spirit and win be brief
" answered in the same spirit, So
that the whole subject is consider
ed on a purely mutual basis, which
affords all a freedom of expression.
The first question offered is:

CANADIAN WHEAT
SECURED FOR Mills
Director Barnes Obtains Three Million
Bushels
FLOUR TO SELL S11.5O BBL.
Nervousness in Flour Market Sub
sides and Prices Show Dis
tinct Decline.

New York, May 8.-Julius Barnes
United States wheat director, an
uounced tonight on his return from
Chicago that he had completed ne
gotiations to bring four million bush
els of Canadian wheat into the Unit
ed States for distribution to the mills
These negotiations have been ir
progress for several days with the
Canadian authorities, it was said.
Director Barnes announced further
that this quantity of imported wheat
will be sufficient for those mills
which have not provided their stocks
up to the new crop. He has reached
this opinion, he stated, after sur
vey of the entire mill situation in this
country in which he found that many
mills are stocked with more thar
they can possibly grind before the
new crop is harvested.
Reports reaching the grain corpo
ration today indicated that the ner'
vousness and excitement heretofore
ruling in the -four market in the Unit,
ed States are being gradually allayec
md that flour prices have shown
distinct decline in the past week.
MIR. Barnes reiterated tonight that
the grain corporation will sell from
it's current stocks and its current
movements through the ports, partic
ularly Boston. New York, Philadel,
phia and Baltimore, its STANDARD
grades of flour at $11.50 barrel II
carload lots to bona fide users, anc
that the grain corporation offices al
all these ports have been instructed
to continue to sell on this basis IN
til the domestic situation is entirel!
relieved.
A fair reflection of the govern
ment's fair price resale basis fol-
wheat is shown by the grain corpo
ration's offers to resell and by tho
prices fixed for such resale, Mr.
Barnes said.
Moreover, he said, there is no rea
son why all the domestic grades OF
-four should not bear a reasonable re
lation to that basis.

Flies sent more human beings into
their graves within the past IL
months than all the wild beasts of
all the wild jungles, mountains and
plains of the world did.
The fly is more dangerous than the
roaring lion, the Sinking tiger, the
coiling snake or the crouching wild
cat, because it is easier to avoid the
lion, tiger, snake or wildcat.
The fly has killed more people than
all the criminal murderers of all
nations and all time.
The fly is never harmless and is al
ways harmful.
| Flies kill more human beings than
earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, fires,
volcanic eruptions.
Flies kill more people each year
than are drowned that year in all
the lakes, rivers, ponds and oceans
combined.
Flies are more deadly than rattle
snakes, more to be dreaded than man
eating sharks, and more to be feared
than the Gila monster or the trantula
Here's some expert testimony on
the subject Of flies:
"In is habits the fly is probably
| tlle tIlOSC ODJcCClOIldDlc ltlSCCI "tf
which man comes in contact" says
Nr. Ernest A.. Sweet of the United
States Public Health Service, who
adds:
| "rEe fly not only breeds in filth
but it continues to frequent objcc-
tionable material throughout the days
Of its existence, leaving only to in
wade the residence Of man, contami-
nate his food, and oftentimes tc
spread disease.
"Flies may transmit disease in
either Of two ways. The first method
is by mechanical transfcrencc, where
| by the insect becomes contaminated
with the parasites of micro -organizma
of disease as consequence of FIRE
quenting filth and places where these
agents abound, thus carrying patho
genie organisms directly to food and
drink partakcn of by man.
"Milk, which is one of the best
media for the growth Of bacteria, may
be contaminated by flies merely
through the act of feeding.
"Thc second method of disease
transmission is by incubation. For
tunately houscflies are of the non
biting variety, and therefore inca.
pablc of spreading disease in this
way.
"Of the diseases which may be
transmitted by housefies, the follow
ing are worthy Of consideration: Ty.
phoid fever, diarrhea and cntertis
cholera, dysenteery, para-typhoid fe.
yer, intestinal parasitic infections
sleeping sickness, surra, nagana.
"Another manner in which flies dis
seminatc Infection is through the
reorganization or vomiting Of food. 1t
is unpleasant to consider that insects
which have but recently frequented
garbage heaps, cuspidors and manure
piles may be guests at our tables, but
it is all the more disgusting to con.
slider that the very material Of which
they have partakcn should be subse-
uucntly distributed over Our own food
and then received into our system
The number of such vomitcd spots de-
posted by well-fed flies may be enor-
nous, frequently rising to hundred
or more q day"
One fly killed to day may save the
life Of human being this SUNNI cr--
your life, it may be!
One fly less today means hundred
thousand less not September.
Swatting q Ay today is equal to
swatting hundred thousand -four
months hence.
