A correspondent writes to nsk how to use phrclhrtmi powder for the de struct lou of flies. Directions will bo obtained when the powder Is pur chased. It. Is largely used ns an In- sectlfuge. There is a substitute fly killer that Is probably better. Tho .London Lancet, a good authority, says: "The bout exterminating agent. Is a weak solution of formaldehyde In water (say two teaspoonfuls to the pint), and this experience has been confirmed by others. It would ap pear that files aro attracted by a weak Bolutlon of formaldehyde, which they drink. Some die In the water, others get as far only ns tho Immediate vicinity of the plate of water, but all ultimately succumb, and where they occur In large num bers, hundreds may bo swept from tho floor. It Is consoling to know thnt by this method tho flies have dlod under n doso of a fluid which Is fatal to dlsenso organisms, a fluid also which Is Inoffensive and for practical purposes nonpolsonous. The method at oneo provides a tnenns of diminishing tho scourge and of securing to some extent what Is most desirable, the disinfection of tho slain." Huglioi Object of Solicitude. It Is Interest lug to note that cer tain big pollUclniiH are anxious to Insure a place on the supreme bench for Governor Hughes so as to have it ready fur Mm when his term of of fice as c.oveniir evplres. They have liienlloiied this matter to the presi dent and they think he is fiivoiwhly Inclined.

The mat ter iis disci:-..'d by the Taft f.i nMly gem tally and the conc lusion rea-h. d wan not to act 1 pi, ns It might Inter fere with a presidential nomination. This history i so recent It may not be fnlr to presume that the family and dose friends of (Inventor HimhcH are likely to see the oblott In pushing his name for n place on the Supremo bench.

President Taft must have learned of tlie popularity of the Southern Oregon lawn dinners and made up his mind to pull off one of these af fairs at the White House. The news papers tell us that the president gave a dinner a few days ago to 40 peo ple on the White House grounds, be tween the mansion proper and the Executive office. The affair was a great, success and It will undoubtedly result in making outdoor dinners popular all over the east. In South ern Oregon, and especially In Jose phine county, the outdoor dinner has long been popular nnd will likely become more so In the future now that President Taft has introduced It. for large gatherings at the Whfte House. Out door sleeping nnd out door eating go together and both will become popular over the whole country. In the history of presi dential dinners this Is the first to bo given out of doors. It is learned that the president's guests enjoyed UiUlm",c' 'mM",s "In,,y irunx, were spread in the open air and are en thusiastic over this event.
