Some of the men were lifted from the ground only to be thrown back to earth with force. Poles were loosened from their moorings, hut no one was seriously hurt.

BEWARE OF THE nOUSfFIY.

Flies are the most dangerous in
sects we have. They are much
more dangerous than bees or hor-
nets; these may sting you, and the
sting is painful, but you soon get
over the pain. Flies do much more
harm than this. They walk over
filthy places like sewers and gar
bage cans, and after eating the FL.
thy food which they find there, they
come into your house and walk on
the food you eat, carrying on their
feet the tiny germs which live in
filth just as you live in a house.
These germs are not only filthy and
disgusting, but many of them aus
such diseases as typhoid fever, chol-
era infantum and summer COM
plant. When the flies bring them
from some dirty place to your food
or leave some of them when they
crawl on your face or hands, you
may swallow these germs without
it and be taken i'll with
one of these diseases. So the fly
that seems so harmless may do you
much more harm than a bee or a
hornet.
Your parents should place screens
at their doors and windows during
the warm weather, to keep the flies
out of the house. # theg cannot
screen all the rooms, they should
screen those in which food is kept;
and if anyone is sick in the house,
flies should be kept from the sick
room, so that they may not carry
germs from the sick person to the
rest of the family.
Children may help to keep flies
from swarming in and around
houses, and from carrying germs of
sickness from one person to another.
In the first place they should not
buy candy, fruit or other food which
is left in front of stores or anywhere
else where flies may feed and walk
on it. Flies lay their eggs chiefly
in stable manure, and if this is left
without screens or other overs to
keep the flies away, great numbers
will be Matched in every stable. Il
you know of stores where food is
not covered from flies, or of stables
that have sWarms of them around,
get your father or mother to write
to the Board of Health about them.
and the Board will make the store
keepers or stable-men obey its rules.
But before you report other people
for being careless and dirty and sc
making it possible for flies to be-
leone q nuisance, be sure that your
own house is clean, and that nc
garbage cans~or boxes are left I'm.
lowered to attract flies.
IF you and all the people you
know will follow this advice. there
will not be nearly so many flies &c
plague you in hot weather, and
there will not be nearly SO much
sickness and death, especially among
children, as now.
