USING BEE STINGS TO CURE
RHEUMATISM.

Dr.. Arthur w. Swami, a Surgeon At
Roosevelt Hospital, for the last two weeks
has been experimenting with much success
on rheumatic patients in the hospital The
treatment consists simply Of d sting or sti1gs
from a good Old honey bee on that part Of
tne anatomy afflicted with the painful com
plant.
DR.. Swami comes from Stockbridoe Mass
and when q boy he learned all about th@
superstitious and legends SO dear to tba
heart Of New Englanlers, especially the
farmers. Among them was one That 2 beo
sting WAS II sure cure for and 4 preyentivo ~
rheumatism.
Two years ago he was graduated from Al.
College Of Physicians and Surgeons. ana
since that time has been attached to Roosa-
welt Hospital. The number OF inmates there
suffering from rheumatism led him to re-
member the story Of the bee. After think
ing 1t over for some time he determined to
try an experiment. He wrote to his
mother, Mrs. John Swami of Stock
bridge, and asked her to send him 100
choice honey bees each week. The Sc
co1d consignment arrived a day or two
ago.
How the treatment is given was explain d

Flies and Some Points on Flies.

Keep the flies out of dwellings. Get
screens for doors and windows. be OF
guard all the time against them.
Keep screens over articles Of food
Don't let flies get near the pantry
kitchen or dining room.
Be careful about the garbage can.
Don't let flies collect around it. Keep
the cover on all the time. You'll
starve many of them to death if you
do You'll poison yourself and your
neighbors if you don't.
If you're a livery man or keep a
horse, be doubly careful. Horse
manure is the best possible breeding
place for typhoid flies.
Be doubly careful about keeping
flies out of the sick room. They are
likely not only to bring complications
of new diseases, but to carry the in
valids disease to many others.
Keep baby away from the flies.
They are apt to give it cholera in
fantum and dysentery.
Kill or drive out any flies which
may find their way into the house.
Show them no mercy.
If your neighbors are careless in
these particulars, call their attention
to it, or notify the city health authori
ties You and your family are vitality
concerned in this.
These are few Of the suggestions
made in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the government insect
bureaus. The fly season for 1909 is
nearly passed, but there still remains
time to kill few and to take pre-
cautions to prevent the birth of as
many in 1910 Many people remove
rubbish from their premises during the
fall months. More ought to do so, or
better still, never permit rubbish to
collect. IL you are cleaning up this
fall and pay special attention to re-
moving every possible breeding place
for flies, mosquitoes and other insect
pests, you will save money

billion or two in developing inland
waterways, the farmer would be great

facilities would be increased.
The same papers, in the same COL
umns, plead the cause of the great
Western railroad combines, when they
argue that the shortage in cars indi-
Gates that the railroads have been
afraid to invest money in equipment

they would "be let alone" They car

folks to let the railroads alone.
