It is carrying goodnessA to an extreme will be the
thought of many people when they learn of the action of
the First Presbyterian church of Fort Worth in refusing
to allow the use of the pulpit for prohlbtion speches on
"Field Day" planned next Sunday by the Anti-Saloon
League.
From a commercial standpoint and this is where all
arc .interested an administration building erected at n
cost from seventy-five to one hundred thousand dollars
on the campus of Simmons College means more for Abi-
lene than the proposed sanitarium. Get behind the move
and help1 put the needed building there before January
1 1910.
Now that renewed interest and enthusiasm have been
created and a move to beaulify the grounds surrounding
Simmons College is about to be inaugurated join in and
help keep trie matter alive until jthe desired ends have
teen accomplished. Every dollar spent in the work will
add two dollars worth of appearance to the surroundings
of the college.

Theodore Roosevelt set a precedent in the sporting world
which Mr. Tart may. find It difficult to imitate. But the

FIGHTING THE ELY
The KiinsaB Board of Health has tfllton hold of 'tho
pioblcm of how (o get rid of the fly. It has recently 1b-
Silled a bulletin on tho subject from which tho following
Is taken:
"Tho common housefly Is n carrjor of disease. Typhoid-
fever dlnrrhaca dysentery and tuberculosis nro carried
by flics. No longer do we consider flics nS merely an- t
tidying but we rccognlzo In them a very important factor
in the spread of certain diseases particularly those men.
tinned above Files feed on food and also on filth. They
go from ono to tho other. It Is easy to understand ldv
they carry disease germs ta our food '
Our domestic animals the dog ntuj cat though' far
from clean In their hnblts we like to have about us but
we keep them Jn their proper places. The housefly ui
tho other hand Is tolerated everywhere crtiwls over our
hands and faces gets lutd tho milk walks over all our
food often soiling and contaminating everything that
comes in contact with it. It Is particularly essential that
files be kept away from everything thai Infants niid very
young children come In contact with particularly all
feeding utensils and things Mint children arc likely to
put in their mouths.
"How can wo combat with this dangerous nuisance'
The essential thing Is to destroy the breeding places of
these pests. The most common places are unclcancd
stables nnd in and about garbage. Every household should
destroy the breeding places of these pests. Store garbage
In tightly covered cans keep In a screened enclosure; so
that files cannot get into It; see that It is removed very
frequently in the summer months. Wash and disinfect
the cans frequently; do not allow decaying matter of any
kind to nccumulato on your premises.
"Screen the doors and windows of your house partic
ularly the kitchen In order to keep the flies from enter
ing nnd getting on the food. Remember that tho female
fly lays about 12 eggs which In the course of a. few hours
become maggots and after another transformation the
full grown fly appears at the end of abOit ten days."
The bulletin speaks of fly screens as follows:
"God bless the man who first Invented screens! The de
vice that has at once brought the greatest degree or per-
sonal comfort cleanliness and household and Individual
safety is the door and" window screen. No other inven
tion of the last quarter of a century can compare with Its
worth and utility ns a life nnd health Baver and yet un-
til recently screens were used principally to exclude
the fly and mosquito solely on the ground of personal
comfort.
"Heads or families who are looking for nn investment
may be assured of one that is certain of enormous re-;
turns through the prevention of sickness and maybe
death by the early and effective screening of every out-
side door and window of their home. It Is much easier
to" keep files out by proper screening than to get them
once they get In. Screen your house! Scientists of all
centuries are agreed on one point that the fly Is a car-
rier of disease germs therefore screen your house!

Central West Texas has no monopoly on the dust as is
evidenced by the following which Is worked off by a
correspondent to the Beevllle Picayune: "The dust the
dust the beautiful dust on the evil and the Just From the
north and from the south; In the eyes the npse the
mouth on the shrubs the flowers the trees; on the
housetops on the breeze; on the fence; the gate tho .
shed; on the table on the bed on the window on the
door; on the closet on the floor; on the gallop on the
run on the stairway to the sun; on the ladder to the
Moon; on the wings at night at noon on the street and
on the square the dust the diiBt Is everywhere! The
dust the dust 'the beautiful dust! Bear it calmly since
you must; here and there; 'tis far and near; hold it'
gently touch with care; by the bushel by the peck let
it circle 'round your neck; let It slumber In your hair;
hide Itself behind your ear; bank your eyelids 'till they
close give it refuge In your nose; wear it uravely as" a
crown; 'ope' your mouth and gulp it down; take It
grimly do not fuss pray for patience cease to cuss;
hope nnd trust a cyclone must come to quell the d.UBt!''
Before the carcasses of the African lions slain by Theo-
dore Roosevelt had rotted away beneath the tropical ailn
the Associated Press had Hashed the news to the ends
of tho earth. At the cost of glgantlcMabor find the outlay
of thousands of hard dollars the human race learned that
America's mighty ulmrod had laid low three lions.- If
the Associated Press in all Its perfection had existed in
1871 perhaps David Livingstone would never have lost
nts way and the James Gordon Bennett search headed by
Stanley would never have been Inaugurated.

SENATOR BAILEY DENOUNCES
IT A FALSE INTERVIEW
WASHINGTON May 4. A corre-
spondent called Senator Ballley's at-
tention today to the folowing purport-
ed interview with him apeparlng In the
Houston Chronicle of April 26:
"Washington April 26 Senator Bai-
ley when interviewed this evening re7
gardlng his stand on the tariff bill
said he favored it as a whole. He de-
clared opposition to the measure by
the insurgent Republicans the last
few days will not delay its passage
materially. Bailey believes the Sen
ate will take a final vote on the bill
on June 1 and will not be in confer-
ence longer than two weeks. He bays
he -will boopt it along."
After reading the above alleged in
terview Senator Bailey dictated the
following:
"That interview is a pure fabrica
tion and the man who wrote it knew
it to be. It Is Inconceivable that any
newspaper correspondent In Washing
ton .thinks I favor the Aldrlch bill and
the purported Interview was written
In the hope and with the deliberate
purpose of trying to deceive the peo-
ple of Texas. It will not however
mislead anybody In our state because
every intelligent maa In the state will
know It is not true the moment he
reads It. The Houston Chronicle never
tells the truth about me."
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram says; "Govcarnor Glenn
la back homo and If he Is quoted correctly In his Inter-
views Texas Is about as bad a place as any place east of
Suez where as Kipling testifies the good 1s ns bad as
tho worst. The governor says the back door and the faro
box are playing to the S. R. O. sign the lid has acquired
the slnnt of a Bowery derby while Mephisto is tho only
optimist In the state. Contrast all this with the work or li
western governor who gave Laredo her coal mines with
tho encouragement given the dairying Industry by Gov-
ernor Polk with the tribute to our splendid resources
delivered by Governor Herrlck before the last legisla-
ture and with tho heavy investments of Governor Frantz
of Oklahoma compare the North Carolina Interview with
these rando mreflectlons and Governor Glenn looks tol-
erably lonesme."
Now that all sure signs of rain have fniled we will
probably have rt heavy precipitation within a few days.
