THE PLYMJTinRIBUiNE. PLYMOUTH, IND. HENDRICKS Q CO.. - - Publishers THE DANGEROUS HOUSE FLY. The city department of public health Elves a timely and needed warning to jthose leaving the city for their vacations to avoid places where there are many flies. Those who follow thlä advice will avoid places which are uncleanly, which allow food and garbage to be so exposed as to attract and feed (the flies, says the Philiadelphia Press. They will avoid places where stables and dwellings are In near vicinity, as the exposed manure is the choice "breeding place of thousands and even 'millions of flies. In other words, to :avold disease-conveying flies avoid places where they permit flies to breed and feed. Formerly the condijtions which multiply flies and the Hies themselves were considered objectionable but endurable. Now the patient toleration of flies is known to jbe a heedless trifling with the health iand life of human beings. Disease germs are for the most part innocuous jto man, until through some convenient medium they are conveyed to his system. This purveyor of disease is the fly. Ills guilt has ben proved to a jdemonstratlon. His capacity for carjrying on his feet from foul and putrescent sources the bacteria of disease !has been recorded by gelatin plates od which he has been made to alight and have proven his guilt.

The raisin growers of Fresno county, California, are trying to promote jthe consumption of raisins by establishing "raisin day," on which all jpatriots who believe In patronizing home enterprise and consuming home productions are expected to indulge In '.raisin cakes and puddings, raisin jbread, etc. The boys and girls will jfall in line for this, and as they are jthe best consumers of things sweet, it jwould seem to be good policy to lawaken the enthusiasm of young eat;ers. Parents are now busy striving jto get enough of things more staple jthan raisins, which would be adopted lgenerally if they could be made to Jtake the place of meat, eggs and other products. Moreover, it Is Buspected jthat if all were to do as the raisin igrowers desire there would be a boom iin the price as a result of the boom in ithe demand. Smokers who are going to Franco should know that, now the French duties on tobacco and cigars have been increased, travelers entering France Are allowed to bring Into the country jfree of duty only ten cigars, 20 cigarjettes, or 1? ounces of tobacco, and jthis must be on their person, or in their hand luggage examined at the jfrontier. The customs officials are fully entitled to confiscate or tax any quantity of tobacco or cigars however mall which may be found In the heavy luggage of passengers sent under seal to a termiral station (St. !Lazare or Gare du Nord) and examined there, and Just now they are very strict. The British commercial attache at Yokohama reports that there has been a sudden development at Tokyo and Yokohama in the use of solid rubber tires for JInrikisbas, and the adoption of the new tire promises to become general in Japan. The utilization of rubber and Its products for every conceivable purpose is so rapidly swelling the demand that there will have to be a corresponding augmentation of the annual crop or prices will bound to prohibitory heights. The world will shower wealth on the Inventor who produces an artificial rubber that will give service approaching that of the genuine article. Misfortune seems to follow tae Zeppelln concern. Hard upon the recent disasters to several of the flying machines ccme the explosions in the works at Friedrichshafen, resulting In serious damage to property and the death of one man and the injury of a number o? others. Still. German determination is of the holdfast order, and It Is quite likely that there will be persistent effort toward perfecting the Zeppelin principle to the point where present perils will be minimized.

SMS SOUS 10 MIM FIRES Pinchot Lays Forest Losses to Men in Congress.

ISSUES A WARM STATEMENT Asserts Blazes Are Preventable Namc3 Heyburn, Carter and MondelJ As Men Who Opposed Appropriations. Washington. Gifford Pinchct of the National Conservation association ad former head of the gov'ernmest forest service, in a statement issued here holds that the loss of property and life in the recent and present forest fires was unnecessary. The disastrous results, he says, are traceable to the unprepareiness to deal with the fire system. He scores Members of congress who have opposed appropriations for the proper equipment of forest rangers and in that connection names Senator Heybtrn of Idaho, whose home town, Wallace, Idaho, suffered serious loss; Senator Carter of Montana, and Representative Mondell of Wyoming. The statement says: "Forest fires are preventable. It is a good thing for us to remember at this time that nearly or quite all of the loss, suffering, and death these fires have caused Is wholly unnecessary. A fire in the forest i3 the same kind of a thing as a fire in the city. There is only one way to f.ght either. The fire department of every city is organized with the prime idea of getting to the fire when it is young. So with forest fires. The time to conquer them is before they grow strong. If a forest is equipped with roads, trails, telephone lines, and a reasonable number of men for patrol there is no more likelihood that great fires would be able to get started than there is that great conflagrations like the Chicago fire will get started in a city with a modern fire department. Under rare circumstances they may, but the chances are against it. ? "The forest service has done wonders with its handful of devoid men. It has put out every year many thousands of small fires, that any one of which under favorable conditions might have developed into a conflagration which 10,000 men could not stop. This year, because of the great drought, the worst In much of the west for more than twenty years, there were too many fires and too few rangers. '"The lesson from these forest fires is perfectly clear. When a city suffers from a great fire, it does not retrench in its fire department, but strengthens it. That is what the nation must do on the national forests." Spokane, Wash. If the stories of men who returned from the St. Joe country of Idaho are to be believed the loss of life along Illg creek was appalling, and the dead in Idahc alone v ill number more than two hun Jred, even if Ranger Joseph B. Halm and his 84 men turn up, of which thformer officer in Wallace Is not hopeful. ATI estimates of tie financial losses place it at over $20,000,0uj, mostly in timber. The loss of life took place mostly last Saturday and Sunday, when a gale fanned smoldering embers into great fires and drove the flames through the mountains with the speed of express trains, giving the fire fighters no :hance to flee for their lives.

HE FELL INTO THE PEDALS

How Richard Hoffman Failed to Get Church Organist's Position When Twelve Years Old. ,' Richard Hoffman, the noted musician, was only twelve years old when "his name was sent In as a candidate tor the position of organist at the Prestwich Parish church, near Manchester, England. In Scribner's Magatine Mr. Hoffman tells of his trial visit ta organist, an amusing and still a pathetic story when one recalls the irouthfulnesB of the aspirant. "Lord Wilton, an excellent musical imateur, had this appointment as well as the living of the church at his disposition, and I was invited to go to Heaton Park, his country seat near Manchester, to play for him. "I was sent on the long drive quite alone in a cab at about nine in the evening, in order to reach there after dinner. I well recall the ordeal of that memorable occasion. I was ushered - into the drawing room at about ten o'clock, the guests being all assembled after dinner. There was an organ at one end, as well as a grand piano, and I had hoped to be asked to play on the piano, but his lordship conducted me to the organ, and told me that he wished to judge chiefly of my reading at sight "He put before me some old chorals with figured bass, and asked me to play them. I must have done eo rather creditably, as he seemed pleased und satisfied, and told me I could try the service the following Sunday.
