MUST BE FUMIGATED.
Secretary Crunlbine win Enforce the
school House Order.

In the July bulletin of the Board of
Health, DIR. S. J. Crumbine secretary
Of the board, calls attention to the fact
mat the order made last year by the
board for the fumigation of all the
schoolhouses Of the state was only par
TALLY observed.
He calls attention to the necessity of
this fun1igat ton in the interests of the
health of the school children. by ad-
dressing this special notice to county
and municipal health OFFICERS.
The order made last year for the
fumigation of all schooIhouses at some
time during the vacation period was
only partially observed. In the epidemic
of diphtheria. which was quite prevalent
throughout the state in the late fall
and early winter of the past year. 1t
was noticeable that in those counties
where the order had been observed and
the schoolhouses effectively fumigated
there was very little, if any. diphtheria.
] am convinced that it was effective in
many instances in the prevention of
much sickness and the saving of life
Tt is therefore ordered that county
health officers take immediate action
towards thorough and effective furni-
cation of all schoolroonns within their
county at some time during the summer.
before the fall term of school begins
An early meeting with your board of
county commissioners and the superin-
tendent of public instruction should be
held, to make such plans and arrange
ments as will be necessary to carry this
order into effect"

Eat 800 Dogs in Three Months.

Dresden, july 25.@The official sta
tistfcs concerning the consumption of
dog flesh here have just been issued.
They show that over $500 dogs have
been eaten in this city during the first
three months of the year. The large
amount of dog flesh consumed is be-
lieved to be due to the increased price
posed to turn the flesh of healthy dogs
which are taken to the pound to ac-
count. and use them as food in the
a1nshouses and such Institutions, in
stead of destroying the carcases as IS
done at present.

Bees Follow Dead Master *
Grave.

Wall Lake, Iowa, Nov. 15.-Olive1
j. Sem, q pioneer bee man, died sud
denly. II had been his custom to
move among his bees without cover,
ing his hands and face. The bees fol
lowed him about the house and yard.
In the winter when their supplies ran
low he fed them with sugar syrup and
rye -four. He covered their hives
with blankets to keep out the cold.
He never lost an opportunity to min:
lister to their wants, and he believed
the insects had real attachment for
him.
From the day of senn's death there
was unrest in the colony of bees. On
the day of his funeral they swarmed
about the hearse, and thousands fol
lowed it to the cemetery. TIE fo.
lowing day it was discovered that the
hives were deserted. Several swarms
of bees were found in the trees near
the grave of their former owner. The
others had mysteriously disappeared.
