It's a wise head that is not carried
away by the seductive definition of
"BEST" beat clothing,
for instance. The wise
head investigates and

tobuy thsBESTCLOTO NG.

Speaking further of hi. caution to the
people against file. Health Commissioner
Connell say aitoBether too little attention
Is given to keeping down or destroying this
household pent.
"I am In favor of passing an ordinance
In this city that will compel the placing; of
manure either in flyproof containers below
around or in boxes above ground that shall
be covered with screen, that flies cannot
get through, ,- ' '
"Mamim piles are th great breeding
places of files. Millions of them are frosen
and die In the fa il and winter, but their
eggs "have been deposited In a safe place
for Incubation. On a day like this wa see
one or two flies about and in a few days
the first fly has a family of 9.000.000. mora
or less generally more.
'Now, then these flies go everywhere and
pick op ait sorts of infection, especially
whera there are still outdoor closets and
decaying matter of various kinds accessible
to them. It can readily be seen that the
government Investigators are well within
the facta when they warn the people that
files are dangerous and should be de
stroyed." : Methods mt Kllllas Peata.
Dr. Connell says the government inves
tigators and the fly righting committee ot
the American Civic association have rec
ommended certan methods of killing flies.
Carbolic acid can be used on a heated
shovel. The vapor from twenty dropa of
the acid will kill the flies in a room.
Bichromate of potash in solution will also
do the work. One dram should be placed In
two ounces of water with a little sugar
adde and the mixture placed In shallow
dishes. Thin- is not dangerous to human life.
A solution of formalin or formaldehyde, a
spoonful of the liquid to a pint of water,
and exposed In a room, will kill flies with
more Surety than anything yet discovered.
. Or pyrothrum powder may be burned in a
room if uulck destruction is nece&bary.
Dr. Connell says absolute cleanliness ia
necessary to d scuurage fii-.-a and that all
food aould lie screened. In stores and

"Omaha will suffer in comparison with
the cities of the west when the census
returns are made." said G. W. Wattles,
president of the Omaha & Council Bluffs
Street Railway company, who has returned
from his winter home In California. 'The
western cities like Los Angeles and Seattle
have been annexing their suburbs until
they now take In all the little communities
in a radius of twenty-five miles about. This
will swell the census. Indicating a rate of

WASHINGTON. April .T .pc.al Tele
gram. jenaior Uurkett iias 0ea advised
by Secretary Wilson that the Department
of Agriculture is to detail aa expert to con
duct demonstrations in Nebraska showing
the efficiency of a preventive and cure for
hog choiera d.scovered by Uie bureau of
animal industry.
At some point to be chosen later per
fectly healthy sw;ne will be secured, part of
them innocuiated with hog cholera serum,
and Uien exposed to hog cnoiera.
I The officers in the bureau of animal In
' Justry have such confidence in the efflc
' lency of their preventive arid cure that they
feel sure this experiment w:ii demonstrate
to the swine breeders the value of their
; discovery and that the profit of swine
i bred.ng will be doubly increased by its
una.
I According to the state bureau of statistics
of Nebraska, Nebraska lost W0.0O0 hogs
i from disease in iMt, most of these losses
j being caused by cholera. The value of
these hogn has been placed at $.5"0.io. The
j value tiierefore of any anti-toxin that
, would cure or prevent hog cholera at once
I becomes apparent. The secretary has not
' yet determined where demonstration will
take piace, but has promised Senator Bur
1 keit to provide for it within a short time.
I For Barke's ladlaa Bill.
The house commit .ee on inuiaa affairs
1 today ordered a favorab.e report on Repre
sentative Burse's, bill ueiuing gencra.iy
; with Indian allotments. esia.:es and luu.an
I reservations, which ia fntenttau tJ clear up
i many points now in dispute in administer
ing the present laws. The bill provides a
; method for determining wno axe heirs of
; the deceased Indians, for the disposition
of allotments of deceased Indians under the
direction of the secretary of the interior. It
aiso permits leasing of allotments and per
, nuts the holder of an allotment to make a
1 will, a privilege never before enjoyed. It
! also permits an Indian to surrender his
allotment to his children who may huve no
allotment of their own.
One provision of the bill carries punish
ment for anyone who makes a contract or
executes a deed purporting to transfer any
land held by the government in trust for
Indians, also prohibiting such transfers of
personal property of any Indian.
Cutting timber on any reservation or al
lotment without consent of the government
is prohibited. The sale of timber on an al
lotment Is permitted with the consent of the
secretary of the Interior.
The bill authorizes the secretary of the
Interior to reeerve lands in Indian reserva
tions for power purposes, for reservoirs,
for irr'gatlon. and also authorizes the secre
tary to cancel Indian patents for land In
cluded in any tract reserved for these pur
poses. Tho bill repeals the present law permit
ting allotments to Indians who may come
from Canada or Mexico and claim relation
with the tribes in the United States, and
also a provision authorizing allotments to
Indian children Indefinitely.

The Omaha Commercial club m :ching
the watei works situation and may move
in the matter when the decision of the
supreme court is announced. President
Edgar Allen of the club-, discuaieng tue
situation and The Bee s editorial comment
thereon, said:
"The Commercial club has not, so far
as 1 know, ever given the matter any
consideration, as an organization. That
may appear a liV.ie strange at first blush,
but the wliuie .enuun has com up in
such form that there seemed nothing for
a commercial trijanixalion to doc Possib.y
we will give the matter some consideration
m hen a decision ia announced by the su
preme court."
President Barlow of the water board
was asked if the board has given any
thought to what its action will be in the
(vent of the city having to take over
the piant, or otherwise.
"We have not." said Mr. Barlow. "I
saw The Bee article, but of course the
board does not take official note of those
tit.ngs. As to what we may do in any
given event, that Is something like buying
a railroad ticket. Nobody buys a ticket
until he knows where he Is going. We will
nave to wait unul the United Slates
supreme court dec.des (he eae now uader
consideration before we can attempt to
Inform the public as to the course we
will pursue."
President Burmester and a good many of
his colleagues have discussed among them
selves the dilemma in which the city may
find it?eif. whichever way the decision
goes. They agree Uiat the bond Issue to
take over the plant is but the beginning
of trie expense likely to be involved In
putting the piant into proper condition to
care for the needs of this growing city;
but what they can or will do In the mat
ter If anything, must await developments.
The councilmen are not disposed to sit

"In the west the plan of the annexation
of suburbs about the principal cities has
Its advantages there. In nearly every in
stance the communities affected have voted
for annexation by heavy majorities. They
have found that taxes are lower and that
as parts of the city they are able to gain
those things which as villages and towns
they were unable to reach.
"Los Angeles will probably have 0.900 in
population by the census now being taken,
while at the last census It measured about
In the same class as Oman a. A very large
part of the Increase over Omaha which the

Friends of Governor Folk are canvassing
the western states on his proposed can
didacy for the democratic presidential
nomination. Thomas C. Hannlngs, an at
torney of St. Louis, is in Omaha today,
calling on Mayor Dahlmaa and other In
fluential democrats In behalf of the former
governor of Missouri. He will . go from
Omaha to Lincoln, to sound sentiment In
the home of the three-time standard bearer.
"While Governor Folk has not yet an
nounced his candidacy for the presidency,
he Is giving the question very serious con
sideration," said Mr. Hennlngs. "We feel
that, aa the originator, to a large extent,
of the reform wave, that- has swept the
country. Folk is the- most promising can
didate the democracy could nominate. Just
now Governor Harmon of Ohio Is large In
the public eye, and Governor Marshall of
Indiana la a prospective candidate, with
Mayor Caynor of New York In the dis
tance. Our prospectors have found a great
deal of friendliness to Governor Folk, and
we believe that as the days go by he- will
grow tn strength. The west, we feel, is
with him pretty solidly."
