V DANGER TO BABIES
A periodical called "Child Be'
lermeut and Social Welfare," which
is published in Chicago, sounds a
warning, eveu In midwinter, against
the dangers of using poisoned pa
per for destroying flies. It shows
that last year thirty-seven cases of
the poisoning of little children were
reported from fifteen states, from
July to October, in all of which the
-ii-tims drank water from saucers
i ontaining fly paper.
To attract flies arsenical flv pa
per is sweetened and then it is put
in saucers or other receptacles
where it can be saturated and even
«overed with water. Little chil
dren, under three years of age, are
the most common victims of this
method of warring upon flies. They
taste the water, perhaps with a
tinker moistened in it, and finding
it sweet they drink it and are
stricken with arsenic poisoning.
It is much safer and better to
"swat the flies." Persistent and
general "swatting" does not en
danger the lives of babies and it
,■"i*1 twWvovi'^,"•» v.
ful elimination, as far as possible.
<>t" the favorite breeding places for
flies, flv-swatting is the most ef
fective means of reducing the fly
danger and nuisance to the mini
muni.
OPEN TO DEBATE
Every well informed man and
woman is acquainted with the
revival m thods of Rev. "Billy"
Sunday, former professional base
ball player. He knows that Sun
day's roughness of talk, violence
of denunciation, recklessness of
assertion and medieval harshness
of religion is not only offensive
but appears even sacrilegious to a
great many people.
Yet "Billy" Sunday wins thou
sands of converts to Christianity
and a better life wherever he
preaches. Why is it? That ques
tion has puzzled more than a
few of those who give serious
thought to such things.
Does not the answer lie iu the
defense of the first great "yellow"
newspaper in America, made by its
publisher, when he was called to ac
count for its sensationalism and
perversion of the truth? "There is
i a great mass of people in this eoun
| try," he said, "which can not be
j reached, and its interest attracted
i and held, in any other manner."
j This is not a cood defense for
| "yellow journalism" because, while
i what the publisher said is un
doubtedly true in principle, hte aim
, of this class of newspaper is tq
acquire influence and wealth bj
pandering, so far as the law and
public sentiment will permit, to th<
worst that is in humanity. Bui
nay it not be an acceptable de
fense for the "Billy" Sunday style
, of evangelization, whoso manifest
' object is to uplift men and women'
It is surely not impossible, an<
I in fact it seems to have beet
| proved, that Sunday, by his mefh
ods, is enabled to reach at one
fy'fn"15e5<r*Bl"a fifofttl~an*d BpfrlVua
awakening, who can not be reaclie<
j readily in any other way. That i
why he is being commended in Phil
(ndelphia now as strongly as he i
J being denounced. That is wh;
many New York ministers went t<
j hear him in a body, a few days
ago.
