with the sermon which was delivered
by DR.. w. w. Davis, superintendent of

pressed their pleasure with the sermon.

Sugar producers, whose market is

the opening of new building erected
there recently and dedicated to medical
science. DR.. Hinebaugh during his visit

There is to be a nationwide fight on
the house fly this summer. The move
ment is being encouraged by health Of
ficers everywhere, and it is hoped to
demonstrate that the fly as pest may
be done away with, or at least minimiz-
ed. But if this is to be accomplished it
will be done only by earnest co-opera-
ton and recognition on all sides that the
common fly is more than a pest-it is a
breeder and conveyor of disease. 1t is
pointed out in the pamphlets that are
being sent out urging the crusade that
the fly feeds on filth everywhere, and
like the mosquito, carries the germs of
disease from sick rooms. 1t breeds on
ly in dirt and refuse. If the house is
screened and kept clean, the fly will dis
appear. The discomfort alone caused
by the fly is justification enough for a
war of determination. Everybody knows
that much can be accomplished now in
isolated cases by taking care to keep
the fly out of the house. The conflict
is one in which the housekeeper should
lead the van. If it is successful much
will be accomplished, both for the health
and comfort Of humanity. -
