To adopt it would be to sub- stitute for the institutions which are the growth and the volition of cen- turies of American experience the de- vices of French revolution and Swiss soctalism.” At the Medical school Dr. Walter B.

A Cool Clear Night. The cool, clear night which made a reception in the oben air possible pre- vented the crush whiel the White House for days had been afraid of, and made the reception not only bril- liant and unusual, but delightful in every respect. The gunests would have filled the White House to_ overkowing, butthe White House grounds are am- ple, and there was no crush and no confusion. 15,300 “Rubbered” Through the Fence. Probably 15,000 people crowded about the iron fence that surrounds the grounds ahd looked longingly at the electric display, the splashing fountain and the ga¥ throng within.

Topeka, Junz 19.—With the hot weather at hand, more than one Kan- san is trying out the recently ad- | vanced theories of Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of heaith, who declares he has learmed of two methods by which the common house fly can be kept away from Kitchens and barns. Onme is to paint the barn ana kitchen blue, almost any old shade, and the other is to grow hops around the doors. The bluc paint idea camz from France, where two scientists, Marre and Fe, found that cow stables which | were painted blue inside were avoided Dy flles. It was also_observed that Kitchens and dining rooms which were papered in blue or painted blye also seemed to keep the flies away. - A foissionary from India told Dr. { Crumbine that hops were used by the | natives of India - in the place of | sereens. The hop vines were allowed to grow all oyes the. little huts, and the people wére mever bothered with flies. Dr. Crumbine and several of his assistants have set out hop vines around the back doors. The,vines ara growing all over the buildings, and Dr. Crumbine is watching the vines this summer to note whether or not the hops are really effective against fiies. | | | | CHRISTIAN SCIENCE | HEALER PR | Charged With Practicing IS HELD.
