The Public Should Know The Worst
About Flies That They May Govern
Themf elves Accordingly.
(Special.) In discussing the
4'real facts about flies" the State
Board of Health, in a bulletin,
now in press, says; "Flies are
the vilest creatures afflicting
mankind." After taking this
stand the Board proceeds to ex
plain that the only objections to
flies used to be because they were
pests and torments. "Later'
says this authority, -"we learned
about the fly's breeding places,
his habits of life, and the possi-
the 'American people over and
above a fair profit on money ac
tually invested, according to an
estimate made by United States
Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock of
Nebraska, and Senator Hitch
cock has never been charged
with making wild statements im
possible of substantiation,
"I believe it is within reason
to say," said Senator Hitchcock,
at the conclusion of a speech he,
made on the subject, " that a care-
houses, our persons, and our
iood. Then it was that flies be
cunie extremely disgusting, to say
the least. By far the greatest ob
iection to flies, however, now
comes from the fact we know
conclusively that, besides being
a discomfort and carrying filth,
;hev spread tremendous amounts
of disease. Besides actually
dipping bacteria and filth from
'..;;' feet and legs, flies may

last week, was . very successfully

On Friday evening the address
was delivered by Mr. W. J. Brog

millions of dollars a year. The
fact that these industries have a

our laws, enables them to do
this.",
Senator Hitchcock's speech
fairly bristled with figures, taken
from the most reliable and au
thentic sources, to back each of
his detailed statements.

$300,000,000 annually in excess

a simple request or tneir motner
to throw a hen off its' nest, two
dying from the effects of rattle
snake bites and the other being
neglected long enough by the
mother go fall into a tub of water
and drown. The three children
died the same day and were
j buried in the same grave. Only
the father and mother of cbe
family survive.
Mrs. Geo. Adams, the mother,
was in the yard doing some wash
ing when a hen, sitting on a
nearby nest, squawked, Mrs.
Adams told the eldest of the
three children, all of whom were
playing in the yard, to throw the
hen off its nest. The oldest boy,
aged eight, thrust his hand into
the nest without looking. He
drew it out quickly, declaring
that the hen had pecked him.
The next oldest boy, making
fun of his brother for his timidi
ty, ran his hand into the nest.
He screamed almost immediate
ly, saying that the hen bit him
also
The mother, alarmed, rushed
to the nest and saw the snake
coiled inside. Frantically she
tried to do something to aid the
two boys, whose hands were al
ready swelling from the bite. The
baby was unnoticed in the ex
citement and crawled to the
vv.ash-tub. -In another moment it
baa climbed into the tub. and
when discovered was drowned.

over and above what they would
have to pay if there were no
tariff on steel.
What is the effect of this ex
tortion? One effect has been to
create a horde of mushroom
Millionaries. Another effect has
been a gradual centralization of
the wpalth of the nation in the
ha,nds of a few, with a correspond
ing intensity in the struggle for
existence among the masses,
Still another effect is seen in the
constantly increasing number of
strikes, Within the last 25 years
there have been 36,756 strikes in
this country, most of them for
higher wages. These strikes have
involved a total of 6,000-000
workers, who, with their wives
and children, were driven to
suffering and desperation.
While the steel trust of this
countrv enjoys a complete
monopoly, due to the tariff, it finds
time to compete with other na
tions for steel trade. Last -year
fchfi steel makers of this country
sold $230,000,000 worth of steel
abroad, which proves conclusive
ly that the tariff on steel is not
needed, and that it is simply an
artificial barrier put up to enable
the trust to go.uge profits out of
the American consumer.
And in the meantime, the Dem
ocratic bill to lower the steel
tariff, having passed the House,
lies in the Republican Senate,

The plan of attack is compara

Keep screens and covers over

Screen every window and door
and banish the fly from the
