INSECTS AND INFECTION
A Common Source of Disease in the
Summertime.
From the Housekeeper.

From the Housekeeper.
To prevent infections reaching the human
body through the medium of insects means
that they shall be exterminated or else shut
away from the body itself; also from food
and water. Scientific sanitary investigation
has proved that to get rid of flies and mos
quitoes the breeding places Of these insects
must be destroyed. Flies breed in stable
manure piles. barnyards and wherever there
masses of filth. Mosquitoes breed in
marshes and swamps, old rain barrels
eaves-troughs and wherever there Is stag
nant water impregnated with decaying or
ganic matter.
The sanitary lesson for the homemaker to
learn is to avoid the marshes and drain
them before building and keep free from all
pools Of stagnant water great or small, on
the premises. and keep the stables and barn
yards free from fermenting masses of de-
oaying or organic matter.
To keep these insect pests out of the
house. it should. if possible, be so planned
that the prevailing winds will not blow from
the stables, barnyard or any marshes in the
vicinity toward 1t, and then in summer use
wire screens on every door and window as
well as inclose the porches around the
house. Italian physicians, experimenting in
the Pontine marshes to discover the cause
of Roman fever, found the peasants living
side by side in ordinary canvas and In tight
screen-protected tents, contracted this dis
ease in the unprotected tents where mos
quitoes had free access. and escaped infec-
ton In the screen-protected, where they
were excluded. nicely screened. shaded
cool back porch Is a sanitary blessing to
the over-tired farmers wife. There she
can prepare great part of her food and
have a comfortable couch to rest on, free
from insect and annoyance. The children
can play there and thus keep out of the
kitchen heat and at the same time avoid
noxious insect infection. The screens are
within reach of every American house.

Police Crusade Upon Petty
Offenders.

HEALTH INSPECTORS SAID TO BE

Congested Condition Of M Street Said
to Be the Cause of Many
Accidents.
REAL ESTATE ACTIVE

Small robberes which have been COM
mitted in the business district of George
town from time to time have spurred the
police of the seventh precinct to inaugurate
a veritable crusade against offenders of the
law Many who have been detected and
taken into custody on various charges have
been proven guilty and are serving heavy
sentences. Others under suspicion will also
be given opportunity to answer for their
misdeeds when the gathering OF additional
testimony is completed.
Lieut.. Anthony Shilling. who is making
most enviable record at the head of the
Georgetown police, is firm in the conviction
that every one of these petty law-breakers
will be routed from their hiding places and
brought to the bar of justice before the
crusade is ended. Until recently complaints
were pouring into the station of the larceny
of milk at numerous houses north of George
town and occasional protests made by
property owners against the operations Of
certain culprits who forcibly entered vacant
houses and committed depreciation by tear
Ing off and carrying away brass and metal
work of considerable value There has been
within the past week noticeable abatement
of these troubles and the police are certain
they have drawn within the clutches of the
drag net parties upon whom the guilt for
much Of this thievery can be fastened, or
at least they will be able to ascertain a
clue which will lead TO the identity Of the
guilty marauders. Marshall Tyson and
Joseph Hebron, two negroes, who were
brought up In the Police Court yesterday
on charges of house breaking and petty lar
ceny, the police say. have bad records, and
it is thought that with the aid of the cross
fire questioning in a sweat box these two
men will reveal much thai aid the officers in
the detection of other criminals.

These figures terrible as Is the tale
which they tell, do not convey an adequate
impression of the horrors which were
enacted by the bloodthirsty mobs of IA
natical Jew-baiters.
One Of the worst features of this con-
certed outbreak of anti-Semitism in differ

support which was given to the antl-JeW!sh

Russian empire were instigated by aglta-
tors who came from st. Petersburg ana
were actively supported by the local au-

One OF the worst outbreaks took place at
Jitomir, the capital Of the province OF VOL
hynia About three weeks before the anti
Jewish riots began six strangers arrived
from ST. Petersburg and began to prepare
the ground for the accomplishment of their
bloodthirsty design. They waited on the
orthodox Greek archbishop Of Jitomir and
made representations to him regarding the
OWL influence which the Jews exercised over
the Russian nation. They declared that the
government had proofs that the Jews all
over Russia were the sworn enemies OF the
rthodox Greek church, and were scnemihs
not only to overthrow absolute government,
but also to bring about the contiscation or
the vast wealth of the state church Tor the
relief of taxpayers.
They reminded the archbishop that the
procurator of the holy synod. Pobedonost-
Jeff, is confirmed anti-Semite and fire.

mitic outbreaks. They persuaded the arch
bishop to LOOK with favor on Jew-bafting,
and in the course OF few days they had
contrived to convince his eminence that ii
would be most advantageous II the Jews OF
Jitomir were severely chaStised for their
revolutionary and irreligious opinions.
The agitators from the capital also put
themselves in communication with the gen

corps, whose headquarters are q t Jitomir.
They worked on him by means of SINH

An Associated Press dispatch to the
T.-R. Thursday evening announced
that Miss Charlotte A. Reed, super
visor of drawing of the public schools
of this city, read a paper before the
Western Drawing and Manual Training
Teachers Association at Chicago
Thursday afternoon. Miss Reed has
been most successful as an instructor
of drawing and manual training, her
efforts in the schools here having con-
clusively shown the character of her
work. Miss Reed is a graduate of the
high school here, and after fitting her
self as a drawing teacher was elected
to the position here, succeeding Mrs.
Alma G. White. Miss Reed studied at
Cincinnati and at the Corcoran Art
Institute, Washington. A couple Of
Marshalltown ladies who recently Wis
listed Washington were told Of Miss
Reeds work there, and her instructors
consider her a wonder, as classed
among younger artists. A recent is
sue of the Ladies' Home Journal show
ed an original design in manual
training contest, in the shape of
leather opera bag, which was done by
Miss Reed.
