EXTRA SWATS FOR HORSEFLY
Jlarrard " Scientists Warn Tarents
Atralnst the Moat .Deaulr of
the Species.
The presence of warm weather Prop
erly calls attention to Infantile paralysis,
which Is a summer disease. It used to
fie considered . rather Infrequent dib
ease,' but has of late been, epidemic In
various parts' 'of 'the country, and med
loal attention was concentrated last year
on the. effort to learn everything possible
about the disease and, above all, Its
cause and mode of distribution.
The affection may be fatal In a com
paratively short. Mme. Hs favorite vic
tims are children and they may. recover,
but they may be sadly crippled for life.
Probably no disease In recent years has
produced more sadness In families than
this.
The mode of dissemination of the dts
ease has been found, One of its carriers
at least is recognized,- and therefore it
may be' better guarded against than in
the past and eventually, entirely elimi
nated.
The carrier thus far discovered is the
stable fly, the' stomoxys calcitrans, which
lives on the blood of animals and par
ticularly dwells near stables, but which
occasionally invades human dwellings and
pites particularly children wno are not
able to protect themselves against it
This seems to be the reason why Infan
tile paralysis only rarely attacks larger
children or adults. 1
For some time It has betsn known that
the monkey Js subject to infantile paraly
sis, and Prof. Rosenau of the Harvard
edtcal school took up tho problem of de
termining by means of this animal the
relation of the fly to the distribution of
the disease. Monkeys were Infected with
the disease by injection and then allowed
to be bitten by stable flies. After an in'
terval these files' were allowed to bite
other monkeys. Bitten monkeys exhlb
Ited the symptoms .of the dis'rase In six
cases out of twelve.
The stable fly resembles the ordinary
housefly in many ways and is Indeed
closely related to it, but differs from it
in a number of important respects. The
adult stable fly feeds exclusively on
blood, biting particularly the domestic
animals, so that the flies are much more
common to the country and are often
seen In the neighborhood of utables and
barns in cities or towns. It does not
often enter human dwellings, but prefero
to stay out of doors in good weathar,
nut it seeks shelter during storms. It
is because of this that there Is a proverb
that flies bite 'before .and during a rain
storm.
The control of the stable fly will prob
ably prove quite as dlff cult as that o.
the housefly, though with proper care it
is probable that Its occurrence can be
greatly limited. Until all stables are re
moved out of towns and the horseless
age has come. It wjll probably be Im
poMioie to exclude them entirely from
cities and towns. The files begin to de
velop early In the spring, and they be
come much more abundant after mid
summer. They are more hardy than tha
nouseny ana persist later In the season.
Ordinary flytraps and sticky flypapers
will probably not piovf efficacious
against mem oecause, as a rule, they
live oniy on tne wood of warmblooded
animals. They develop mainly In ma
nure, uui mucn can oe done to prevent
this development by proper treatment
of the manure piles and It Is- nrobahl..
that the occurrence of the fly can thus
be greaUy lmIted.-New York Independ

HE BELIEVESJN HOME RULE
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston Says
Legislature is a Hindrance.
CITY SHOULD GOVERN ITSELF
Praises Omaha on lta Health find-the
Wonderful Country Bnck of It
' Believe In School Inspection.
That John J. Fltxgerald, mayor of
Boston, Is an exponent, of home rule was
evidenced by him In his address before
the. members of the Commercial club
at the public affairs luncheon at noom
He said:
I would not be tho mayor of Omaha
under existing- conditions. The legisla
ture Is too much of a hlndranco to tho
welfare of the city. Why Bhould tho
legislature of this state stipulate the
amount of money to be expended by the
police department, by the street depart
ment and the flro department? It Is
absurd. What docs a body of men living
hundreds of miles from Omaha know
what Is needed here. Tou cannot run
the city on such a basis. Your com
trtssloners know what Is needed and
how much money Is needed to run such
and such a department. Qlye the mayor
and commissioners absolute power.
"In Boston we expend as much for any
one department that we want to. The
mayor of Boston Is absolute authority
In law, loans and expenditures, and even
If the nine commissioners are unanimous

First Water Booster.
Mayor Fitzgerald Is a rapid-fire orator
and kept the 600 members of tho Commer
cial club all attention during his talk,
lie would not permit applause. Ho said
he cams here as a representative of the
Chamber of Commerce of Boston and he
Is a booster of the first water. All he
yknew was Boston and Its wonderful
strides. lie denied that he was a candi
date for the vice presidency In 116 or
any other time.
He told of the work dope by tho mayor
and city commissioners of Boston and
said that every cltleen of Boston had an
opportunity to mako knownMils needs
to the mayor and council, as that body
visited every section of the city once
each year and sometimes oftener. The
council and mayor meets with the vari
ous improvement clubs of tho city and
hears the needs of Us community.
He said the schools of Boston are tha
best In tho country and the teachers are
the highest paid of any in tho United
State. "We spend JS.600,000 annually on
our schools," he said, "to educate 1C,000
school children. We hava seventeen high
schools and eight night schools, besides
numerous commercial schools."
In speaking of the parks, boulevards
and playgrounds of Boston, ha said that
11,800,000 Is spent annually, as against
1300,004 In St. Louis, which Is as large It
not forger than Boston. Ho said that
last year 6.000,000 children wore accomo
dated In the publlo bath houses. In one
pool alone 17,000 children wore accomo
dated on a Sunday and all they paid was
1 cent for a t6wel and If they brought
their own towel the cost was nothing. Ho
says thero are base ball fields with as
high as twenty-five diamonds on them,
not to speak of foot ball fields, tennis
courts and publlo skating rinks In tho
winter. In tho winter Indoor gymnasiums
are provided.
Fralaes Omaha.
"You have a wonderfully, healthy city
hero," ho said, "healthier than Boston,
but we have hospitals thero which take
care of ths slclc from all parts of tho
country. Wo spend 11,000,000 yearly to
maintain these hospitals. We have writ
ton records of the health ot overy school
child In Boston and sixty physicians are
employed at a salary of 500 to Inspect
the schools every day. It a child is. dis
covered sick In school he Is sent homo
and. If very slok a nurse Is sent to
the homo to tako care of him. W have
a nurso for every, physician,"
Mayor Fltigerald said Omaha was a
wonderful city and asked "why should
Omaha not grow with Its wonderful na
tural resources? The government should
not wasto a minute to Improve tho Mis
souri and make Jt navigable. Also tho
Mississippi. Every year there Is a loss
of millions of dollars Just because ot
floods. Why don't tho government widen
and deepen these rivers and make them
navigable They would thus save mil
lions of dollars due to floods, and fiio
Increase the facilities-for handling ths
