THEATRE ARE
PLEASING
The class of pictures that the New
Theatre are now running are well
worth going to bm educationally u
well as amusing. The tiro real feature
la?t night, entitled "The Salvation
of Nance O'fihaughnessy," was
one of the best pictures that has
been here for some time. This splendid
picture told of all the temptations
that a poor working girl had
to go through In a large oity, and
of how her moral sense of duty at
last saved her from the path of the
many that she was following. The
plcturee at this playhouse should receive
tlhe entire support of the city,
as they are a good lesson to every
person attending. These pictures
come here direct from Atlanta. The
management going to very heavy expense
of giving Its patrons the very
best pictures that they could secure.
There is nothing but praise for them

NEA
Will Prevent Th
Of Typ
Washington, D. C., July 24.?Aa
| result of experiments, the apse 'a lis I
i of Che Department of Agrlcultnr
| have discovered that u small moui
of ordinary borax rf tinkled daily c
manure, will effectively prevent tl
breeding of the typhoid or house flj
Similarly, the same substance applies
to garbage, refuse, open toilets
damp floors and crevices in stables
cellars or markets, will prevent fl;
eggs from hatching. Borax will no
, kill tho adult fly nor prevent It fron
laying eggs, but its torough use wll
prevent any further breeding.
The investigation, which included
experiments with many substances
was undertaken to discover some
means of preventing the breeding ol
flies in horse manure without lessening
the value o( this manure as a
fertiliser for use by the farmer. It
was felt that If some means of preventing
the breeding of flies near a
human habitation could be devised,
the disease spread by these fllthj
germ-carriers could be greatly reduced.
While the "Swat the Fly
Campaign." traps and other devicea
for reducing the number of typhoidcarrying
flies are of value, they are
of leas importance than the prevention
of the breeding. It was realised,
however, that no measure for preventing
the breeding of fliee would
mm a Into mmmnn mm iibImi It w??
his nunire pile without destroying
Its usefulness for growing plants,
urh that the farmer oould use it on
and without introducing Into the
oil any substance that would interfere
with his crops.
As a result of experiments carried
on at the Arlington Farm, in Virginia,
and New Orleans, La., the Investigators
found that 0.62 of n
pound of borax, or 0.75 of a pound
of calcined colemanlte (crude calcium
borate) would kill the maggots
and prevent practically all of the
(Ilea ordinarily breeding In eight
bushels of horse manure from developing.
This was proved by placing
manure in cages and comparing
the results from piles treated with
borax and from untreated piles. The
borax, it.wa* found, killed the fly
eggs aud maggots in the manure and
prevented their growth into flies.
In the case of garbage cans o;
refuse piles, 2 ounces of borax or
calcined colemanlte, costing from 5
cents a pound upward, according tc
the quantity which is purchased, wli:
effectually prevent flies from breeding.
Whilet it can be safely stated thai
no injurloes action has followed the

Treatment (
Victoria, Me*, (via Laredo, Tex.?
General Carranza yesterday advocated
leniency in "treatment of th?
conquered by the victorious Const!
tntlonalists."
His statement was made in r,
speech at a banquet tendered b>
Victoria cltisens.
General Carranza said It must
never be forgotten that all Mexlcant
are brothers, but declared he could
not extend the hand of brotherhood
to those directly Implicated in the
deaths of Francisco Madero and Pine
Suarez. No leniency, he said, could
be expected for those who took ar
active part in overthrowing the Con
tltutlonal government of Mexico and
the murder of its President and
Vice-President.
The law would be observed strictly,
he said, and those charged with
participating in the crime would b?
Judged according to the law.
Carranza concluded by Introducing
two Americans, Captain O. Hopkins,
of Washington, legal adviser to tb?!
Constitutionalists in fbe United
States, and John R. Sllltman, personal
representative of President
Wilton. General Carranza said both
had been true friends of the Mexican
people and were familiar with
the principles of the revolt.

a application of manure treated with
* borax at the rate of .81 pounds for 8
e bushels or even larger amounts in
t the case of some plants, nevertheless
borax-treated manure has not been
b studied In connection with the
growth of all crops, nor has its
cumulative effect been determined.
It Is therefore recommended that not
more than lg tons of the borax- '
' treated manure Should be applied per
r acre to the field. As truck growers
1 use considerably more than this
1 amount, it is suggested that all cars
1 containing borax-treated manure be
so marked, and that public health officials
stipulate in theih directions
' for this treatment that not over .62 'i
1 (62.100) of a pound for 8 bushels
f of manure be used, as it has been t
shown that larger amouits of borar
1 will Injure most plants. It is also
: recommended that all public health
officials and others in recommending
1 borax troatment for klllng fly eggs
' and maggots in manure warn the
public against the injurious effects
' of large amounts of borax on the
[ growth of plants. Purchasers of
1 manure produced In cltl?a during the
fly-breeding season should Insist
that the dealers from whom they
chase give them s certified st*U1
ment as to whether or not the manure
in the particular car or lot Involved
in the purchase has been
; treated with borax.
In feeding to hogs garbage that
contalna borax care ia also recommended.
especially when the animals
1 are being fattened for market.
Borax is not a very poisonous substance
and the feeding of garbage
that contains it to hogs, is not likely
other hand borax In large quantities
does produce gastric disturbances
and for this reason a certain amount
of care Is advisable. _
1 The method for using this aub'
stance In the case of stables is to
prlnkle the borax or colemanlte In
the quantities given above, by means
of a flour sifter or other fine sieve,
around the outer edges of the pl!e
1 of horse manure. The manure tfhould
1 then be sprinkled immediately with
two or three gallons of water to
1 eight bushels of manure. It Is essential.
however, to sprinkle a little of ?
the borax on the manure as It is
added daily to the pile, instead of
1 waiting until a full pile Is obtain- --J
1 ed. because this will prevent the
1 eggs which the flies lay on fresh
manure from hatching. As the fly
maggots congregate at the outer
1 edge of the manure pile, most of the
) borax should be sprinkled there.

of the C&rbajal delegates at Car?

would be made.
Word was received from Carranza
i by bis agents here that he intend'
cd to spend but a few dajrs in Tampico,
returning then to Saltillo. He
t wired that he had ordered General
\ Gonzales and his forces at San Luis
