her seeking assistance from her fam
lily. She and Rife continued to live
in a state of squalor and finally she
obtained money enough to make the
trip.
Rife was not sufficiently fond Of
work while living here to retain en-
ployment constantly and conditions
about the premises were such os to at
tract the attention Of neighbors. At
ter Rife had been out of work for
some time, he told friends he would
like to try teaming. An acquaintance

purchase of horse and wagon. Rife
tired of the work and quit it before he

Citizens Will Be Asked to Con-
tribute to a Worthy
Charity.
EXPECT TO RAISE BIG FUND
CHURCHES AND FRATERNAL Or
CARNATIONS WILL ALSO De
ASKED TO ASSIST IN THE GOOD
WORK.

After careful consideration of the
ways and means Of raising money to
carry on the work of the Associated
Charities for the ensuing year. the
special committee at its conference
yesterday afternoon drew up a recon-
mendation advising personal solicita-
ton as the best way Of securing the
largest amount. Other recommended
tions were also drawn up. one of the
most important being TO institute 4
campaign of education relative to the
association.
The recommendations will be consid-
cred at a general meeting of the Asso-
lated Charities next Tuesday after
noon. II is optional with the organiza-
lion whether the recommendations be
adopted.
Church Plan Failed.
The committee felt that as the plan
Of apportioning the amount needed by
the association to the differen,
churches had been a failure. 1t would
be unwise TO follow such a plan again.
However. If any church. as an organ.
ization. desires to contribute to the as
ISOLATION the funds will be gladly &C
copied The same is true in respect
to the fraternal organizations.
There are many false notions exist
ing as to the operations of the Asso-
ciated Charities. These merely exist
because people are not familiar with
the organization. In order to correct
all Misrepresentation. the committee
will recommend that circulars be
printed and distributed all over the
city.

Mrs. Sallie Squires wanted to renew

She Wanted Farm.
According to the evidence of Mrs
Squires she was married to the former

FLY IS PERPLEX|kG
Local Physicians Disagree as
To What Produces the
Dangerous Pest.
SOME SAY IT IS HYBRID

What produces the common house
1yfl? Is the common house fifty a n.y.
brid, or it able to breed and beget?
Members Of the medical profession
who are interested in the fly campaign
which has been inaugurated by the
physical committee of the Y. M. C. A.
are unable to explain which is the
case, only that they know the fly is
dangerous and responsible for the pre-
valence of typhoid fever epidemics and
digestive disorders in the summer
time.
One of the members of the profes-
sion when asked whether the common
house fly female lays eggs and these
hatch out and after different pro-
cesses of development become flies
said he believed such was the case
Another equally prominent physician
said that the house fly in his opinion
was a hybrid and unable to breed
He claims that the species known as
the blow" fly are responsible for the
house fly.
