ANOTHER FLY WARNING

CAUTION SENT OUT BY NEW YORK AS
ISOLATION.
Flies are the most dangerous in
sects we have. They are much more
dangerous than bees or hornets; these
may sting you and the sting is pain
full. but you soon get over the pain.
Flies do much more harm than this.
They walk over filthy places like sew
ers and garbage cans, and after eat
ing the filthy food which they can
find there, they come into your house
and walk on the food you eat, carry
ingy on their feet the tiny germs which
live in filth as you live in a house.
These germs are not only filthy and
disgusting, but many of them cause
such diseases as typhoid fever, chol-
era infantum and summer complaint.
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 knowing it and take i'll
with one of these diseases. So the
fv that seems so harmless may do
you much more harm than a bee OF
a hornet.
Your parents should place screens
at their doors and windows during
the warm weather, to keep the flies
out of the house. If they 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 slcf
room, so that they may not carry
Nxerms from the sick person to thu
rest of the family
Children may help to keep file
from swarming in and around houses
and from carrying germs of sickness
! from one person to another. In tn
first place, they should not buy candy
fruit or other food which is left Il

where flies may feed and walk on 1t

Labor several days ago has received
the Endorsement Of the state officials
generally who propose to provide
suitable space in the capital building

Commissioner Fallon yesterday
addressed letters to the various
boards of county commissioners ask
ing their cooperation in the estab-
lishment of such an exhibit. the pres
ent exhibit at Seattle to be used as
a nucleus in building up a still bet
ter and greater display. He requests
that they instruct the commissioners
at the fair TO forward all products
from the various counties TO Boise.
His letter follows:
ITO the board of commissioners,
Gentlemen: The Alaska, Yukon,
Pacific exposition now being held
has demonstrated the necessity for
the state to maintain a permanent
exhibit in order that it may properly
take advantage of the splendid OPP
portunity afforded on such occasions
to advertise its resources.
Idaho at a Disadvantage
Idaho was placed at a disadvan-
tage during the early part of the
fair because of neglect in this re-
gard. The ninth session of the
legislature refused to pass bill car
rying an appropriation for this
purpose with the result as stated
above.
II am very DESTROYS that the state
should make provisions for the flu
tnre, as several large fairs viii be
held in the next few years and
most respectfully solicit your coop
Grafton in this matter. Believing
that the exhibit now at Seattle will

manent one, desire that you will in
struct the commissioners at the fail
that the same be forwarded to Boise
care of this department and at oul
expense. ] can assure you thai
your efforts in this behalf will be
greatly appreciated and will re-
dound to your county's advantage.
Separate Space Allotted
"A separate space will be allotted

tvs products and will afford enter
tainment and instruction to the
many thousands of callers we have

IF Idaho is to grow in popula
ton and wealth she must keep a

To my mind no better medium could
be found than in display of oui
wonderful products.
Hoping you viii cooperate witt
