For aught we know he may be one of the offsprings of the many plagues visit ed upon Pharaoh in that long ago when plagues and pests and other . nuisances were multiplied into de- j structive armies over night. For in deed his extraordinary power of re- j production seems one of his chief ( characteristics, while bis never-end ing d?sire to survey tho world from the highest part of some bald head marks him also as one of the chief instruments in the deliverance of the j .lews. However important may have been his political usefulness or relig ious affiliations, he bas served his day and generation and must go. In almost every State, and in al most every community, he has been arraigned before the bar of justice and found guilty of the most heinous crimes, and the slogan, "Swat the Fly," has gone forth until now he has scarcely a friend in the wide world to harbor him. Until just recently he was regard- j ed only as a nuisance, a harmless In- j sect that disturbed our dreams only j during the day, or, crawling on tho j nose, awakened the sleeping babe, lt was while he enjoyed this unlimited confidence and had the unrestricted use of the boote that he measured his greatest success. While unsuspected of harm he exacted a life from al most every home in the land and measured his swiftness by the sure ness of his deadly stroke. Until the multiplied rays of the microscope revealed his hideous form, he was not altogether unsight ly, but those magic rays disclosed him clad in a hairy fur, reeking in filth and grime, capable of hoarding up millions of poisonous parasitic germs, later to be deposited on the tender lips ot" the nursing babe. Not only is he now hideous in form, but also, in studying bis life and habits, he becomes absolutely revolting to the sensitive and refined. And, if for no other reason than that of bis place of birth, he should be outlawed In every country and every clime. Born amid Hie putrefying excrements of man and beast, lie wallows and luxuriates in this revolting, inde scribable filth until he comes to ma turity. Having a relish for ferment ing vputrilage, he devours great quantities, and in an incredibly short time emerges, fully equipped, nnd enters al ouce upon his life's mis sion, spreading filth, disease and death. He spends a short time on the top of a manure pile polishing his body and wings in a pretense at cleanli ness; then ho enters the nearest kitchen for tus first meal away from home. There he examines the meats and vegetables and tastes the bread before it is fairly made. Being an epicurian by birth, ho is lured into the dining room by the tempting vi ands spread tastily before him. There, perched upon a plate of bis cuit, he surveys the field of his ot>o rations and makes straight for the food nearest him. This filthy insect, -weighted with the grime of revolting putrefaction, trails his slimy form across tho butter, and you oat it; this vile, loathsome vermin, freighted With the poisonous germs of decay ing corpses, takes a bath In the milk, and you drink it; before his hairy coat is fairly dry from wallowing in tubercular sputum or typhoid excre ment, his succulent form is acciden tally wrapped up In tlu- pie, and you swallow him tilth, grime, tubercu losis, and all; and then in the next breath, implore high heaven to pro tect your home from harm. These things are shocking lo our sensibilities and repugnant to relined taste's, but they are nevertheless in controvertible facts-facts that we meet with almost daily and in almos! every homo. They presto)t a prob lem thal should not be shunned, but solved. Not only is this odious insect vile and filthy, but also he is dangerous ns well. Ho is the chief and most po tent agent In the spread of the most fatal germ diseases, those insidious maladies that mark its victims for death without a pang or a pain; and so long as he is allowed the privilege's of the home, no member thereof ts sure that he or she will not fall a vic tim of that dread disease, tubercu losis, and die a lingering death. The most robust manhood is not immune against the treacherous typhoid germs gathered trorn cast-offs and de posited In his food, while tho mother less babe ls, from the beginning, market! a victim of his unerring aim. There ls no place so holy that he will not enter, no place so sacred ho will not despoil, and no privados he will not Invade. He has the temer ity to walt at the feasts of kings, and the audacity to poison tho last crust of a starving child. He will gather gangrenous matter from the festering wounds of harlots and deposit it on the receptivo Ups of the innocent bride. Ho is a degenerate by birth and spends bis miserable life com mitting the most dastardly crimes. '!<. will dr anything so long as there is lilli? to lead him on; be will dare everything so long as there ls dirt, disease and death to lure him to the end. But there must be filth. It is a part of his being and absolutely necessary to hi? existence. Knowing this, there ls 'but one logical conclu sion: Wherever flies arc found there also will filth be found, and in cor responding proportions. So blush with shaine when you again Hud it necessary to use an unsanitary broom to mind these filthy, measly scoun drels from the dinner table while your guests partake of tho meal. They may have too great a regard Tor your feelings to tell you so, but they nevertheless know that the pres ence of flics ls due to the presence of filth. So, In waging a war of extermina tion, let us first declare war on filth, for this has proven the most effective weapon ever used against this elu sive foe. When the war ls begun, let us show no mercy; give no quar ter in either case till they are both exterminated, at least from our homos. Use any means at hand to eradicate him, for there are no inter national agreements as to the time, means or mode of his death. If, af ter cleaning up. he still lingers, trap him, ensnare him; place poisoned food temptingly before him that he may ea! thereof and die. Hut hy all means poison his home, his native land-namely, unscreened closets and manure piles. Screen tho home against him, for he is your "mortal enemy. He destroys more lives annually than all the Nu midian lions combined have de stroyed in all time. Notwithstand ing this, there are those who say they are not afraid of him. Each and every year thousands upon thousands of fond mothers, bleeding and broken hearted, march to the cemeteries to say a last good bye to their fair-haired, dimpled dar lings, and on reaching their grief stricken homes fling wide thc doors, and bid this insatiable monster God speed while chasing the next. On the following Sunday morning the Sun day school meets and the minister in charge offers the following resolu tions: "Whereas, lt bas pleased the Al mighty Hod, in His divine providence, to take from our midst," etc., when in reality God, nor providence, had aught to do in taking away the little pet. You simply, blindly or other wise refused to observe sanitary laws. You allowed decomposing filth and flies to accumulate on or near your premises, and the little pet was of fered up as an unwilling sacrifice to this monster, whom you do not fear. Instead of submitting resignedly to what you term the will of God in this case, you would do well to take a stick and break that preacher's head for not telling you the real reason why the little pet went to Jesus. He ought to know, and ought to tell you from the pulpit, that filth in the back yard and rotten cabbage in the cellar will produce death, and then you might have believed it and have been spared all the pain of parting with Tommy.

DACIA CASK IS Ul* AGAIN'. Fronet) Prize Court Confirms Seizure. Ci died SU? ties to Protect. Washington. Aug. 4.-Anu' im ;e ment from Paris to-day that a F. Ul li prize court had confirmed tho seizure of Gie American steamer Dacia as a lair prize, found the State Depart ment preparing to protest tho decis ion, which carries with it forfeiture of the vessel. It is planned to make this a test ca.se of the righi of a neu tral to grant registry to a belligerent owned merchant ship. The Dacia's cotton cargo is not in volved. The British government, be fore the Dacia sailed from Galveston last spring for Rotterdam, announced that the cargo, consigned to Bremen, would not be detained, the announce ment being binding upon France. The French government purchased the cotton through a special appropria tion. The issue in the Dacia case ls the right of the United States to permit registry under its flag of a vessel for merly owned by a German corpora tion, bul declared sold to an Ameri can citizen. Great. Britain has sanc tioned such transfers in war time and could not consistently seize the Da cia. France has always held that the transfer of a merchant ship to a neu tral power must have been effected at least 30 days before the outbreak of host ilities. At the beginning of the war the United States served notice on the belligerents that as they had not con sou ted to observe the un ra ti fled dec larations of London as a whole, this government would not he hound hy them, but would stand on the general principles of international law in dealing with questions of neutral rights. The protest against con demnation of the Dacia will rest on these principles. WU FX TH 10 CiOOI) NEWS FIRST REACHED WALHALLA lt Created Considerable Excitement.
