A Further Warning
Against the Flies.

Health Notes for July deals almost
exclusively with the origin and pre-
yention of typhoid fever. 1t is per-
haps needless to say it emphasizes a
recent conclusion arrived at by scien-
lists that housefties ARE responsible
fol more cases OF typhoid than water.
milk and finger infection combined. !"
And this valuable health publication
cites the following convincing argu-
ment to that effect:
The highest sick rate from typhoid
fever is not found in the sparsely
populated communities, nor yet in
the larger. Well-kept cities. Begin
ming in the country, the typhoid rate
gradually increases as the density of
population increases. The little
towns have a higher rate than the
country, the larger towns a higher
rate than the smaller, and so till the
highest rate is found in the largest
aggregation of people up to a point
where sewage is properly disposed of.
When that point is reached, the ty-
phCid rate suddely drops even below
the typhoid rate in the country. Open

GOOD PROGRESS OF
THE TRI-COUNTY FAIR.

Milton Starr

The Santa Rosa county committee
that recently visited Pensacola to take
part in a meeting of the Business
League of that city that have in hand
the promotion of the proposed Tri-
County Fair-Santa Rosa and Escam-
bia counties, Florida, and Baldwin
county, Alabama-repOrt that much
enthusiasm prevailed and that matters
were rapidly focusing to point where
definite arrangements could be an
nounced.
The Santa Rosa committee pledged,
so far as they were able to do so, the
hearty concurrence of the people of
this county in the fair, and that they
believed an interest could be awak-
ened here that would call forth a
large representation of the products
of the county in a friendly rivalry
with our sister counties as to their
respective merits.
The Star earnestly urges the bust
ness men of Milton and the county to
get together and organize for proper
arrangements as to the placing of our
products in a systematic and orderly
manner for exhibition at this fair.
We have the goods, but we are going
up against in this contest Shrewd and
practical people, who also have good
stuff, and we can rest assured they
will spare no effort to place their ex-
hibits in the most favorable light and
best US if they can. All of which
is perfectly proper, but it is our bust
ness to see that they do not, and it is
right here that we call on or bust
ness men to meet and get Into the
most perfect organization for the
properly placing Of our exhibits.
AS to fine stock Santa Rosa already
has state wide reputation. Mr.. c.
H. Simpson, of the Arcadia neighbor-
hood, easily captured some of the
highest premiums at the last De-
Funiak fair for stock in competition
with the best stock-raisers in the en-
tire state. Mr.. Simpson is an intelH-
gent, scientific and enthusiastic farm

OF the extreme danger of permitting

done to alleviate the nuisance and
the danger, but far more remains to
be accomplished before the task shall
be finished. And if it is not done

There are many, we know, who are

they make a grievous mistake. They
think because they have escaped con-

equally fortunate. But how illogical
is such an argument. It would be as
reasonable for a soldier who has es-
capped with his life from some des-
perate charge upon the enemy's fort
