the sermon, his theme being Americans
and an; A 4.,S After paying .t glow y;
Dutch. Swedish. Irish and French descent
who fought with sublime audacity
against tyranny to gain the freedom Of
America" DR.. Van Allen said:
What they wrought was not by their
own might. but by Gods help. for these
patriots weere chuch-loving men. Unlike
the unreligious spirit rampant in the
civil wars of England and the rebellion
in France, the struggle for liberty In the
American colonies was watched over by
Jehovah, to whom these colonists paid
homage.
These leaders-George Washington,
Jefferson. Franklin. Hamilton. Charles
Carroll and others-honored Jesus Christ
as their captain of salvation. And when
the republic. welded together by revolu-
ton. entered upon the peaceful pursuits
following the struggle for liberty. their
congresses were opened with prayer to
God. and their armies were always &C.
companied by chaplains.
LAS long as Americans remember and
live UP to these noble traditions OF the
forefathers. the republic will live"
The vested choir Of the church chanted
the hymns.

DOESN'T WIPE ITS FEET.
Danger Of House Fly Pointed Out b,
New York Association.

The New York Merchants Association.
through its committee on the pollution Of
state waters. is said to be conducting a
comprehensive campaign against the
spread Of typhoid fever, and at this, the
opening Of the typhoid season." ,e COM
mittee is giving wide circulation to a
pamphlet prepared by Dr. Woods Hutch
inson. entitled: 1.-The Story Of the Fly
that Doesn't Wipe It's Feet" The COM
mittee declares its belief that more than
Is per cent Of the typhoid fever cases in
the country are due to water pollution.
and on this point DR.. Hutchinson says:
1T is neither healthy nor celebrating
to drink clear solution Of sewage. no
matter how diluted. but. as a matter Of
fact. 1t is astonishing how long communi-
ties may drink sewage-laden water with
comparative impunity. SO long as the sew
age contains no typhoid discharges. One
case of typhoid fever imported into a
watershed will set city in blaze"
Concerning the ''fiy that doesn't wipe
its feet the Doctors paper says:
THE fly lives and moves and has its be-
ing in dirt. It breeds in dirt. and it
feeds on food. and. as it never wipes its
feet, the interesting results can be i'm
agined. More definitely. flies have been
caught in the houses Of typhoid patients
put under the microscope. and their feet,
stomachs and specks found swarming
with typhoid bacilli A single hy-speck
may contain three thousand. Fortunate
ly. we have a simple and effective rem
edy. We cannot disinfect the fly. nor
make him wipe his feet, but we can ex-
terminate him utterly. Like the mos
quito. the fly can only breed In one par
ticular kind Of place. and that place is q
heap Of dirt-preferably manure. but any
where that dirt Il allowed to remain un-
disturbed for more than a week at a
stretch. Abolish. screen or poison these
dirt Accommodations. and flies will disap-
pear. and with them not merely risks
from typhoid. but half a dozen other dis
eases"
