from the ef gs deposited by flies, from
this they pass into the pupa stage and
again emerge as flies with the return
of warm weather. These flies enter
our. dwellings, walk upon our food and
directly transmit the organisms from
excreta to our food. Contamination
does not cease at that, for we have
definitely proven that the organisms
which the flies take into their bodies
from the excreta are not destroyed by
their digestion, and passing from their
bodies with the excreta the germs util-
ize this excreta for food and multiply.
Therefore a fly speck containing fifty
germs will increase it's numbers fifty
fold.
If perchance the organism happens
to be the typhoid bacillus, fly speck
upon an apple, or other food, Will
eventually contain thousands of germs.
This we have conclusively Demon
strated by Matching flies in sterile
box, then feeding them with bread or
sugar saturated with cultures of the
typhoid bacilli, then allowing them to
excrete upon apples. cabbage leaves,
other material that gives off moisture.
The fly speck, after some time, as
sumes the form of a colony and ia
found to be loaded with living typhoid
bacilli, showing that they had passed
through the fly uninjured and had null
tiplied abundantly in the fiy's deposit.
1t is we'll known that milk is an
ideal food for typhoid bacilli, and for
that reason should be well guarded
from the invasion of flies. Keep flies
out of the house, especially that part
where food is kept.

Whether Bite OF THIS Lizaro II
tally Poisonous to Man Unsettled.
"Naturalists who recently visited the
Mojave desert In Arizona say that
there has been an increase in the num-
Der of gila monsters in that region"
said DR.. A. B. Cedron of Prescott
Ariz., according to the Washington
Post.
"These lizards are Of great interest
to naturalists, for in spite OF investlga-
tions, authorities still differ as 10
whether the bite Of gila monster Is
fatally poisonous. l have had several
instances come under my observation
when men have been bitten by gila
monsters. but none ever died. In the
case Of a gila monster biting a guinea
pig, however, the poison was fatal
few minutes after the guinea pig had
been bitten. The natives of the South
west, particularly the Indians OF Mex
leo. sincerely believe that the bite OF
a gila Is fatal to human being and
the lizard is held in much awe by
them.
1T is likely, however, that this fear
is occasioned largely by the repulsive
appearance Of the reptile. The head Is
very prominent, comprising about one
fifth of the total length Of the body
and, like the back, is thickly covered
with yellow and black tinted tubercles
Its skin Is very tough, and, although
the bones Of the tail are fragile, this
part Of the reptile is very strong, 1t
being possible for the monster to raise
itself and balance the body on the tip
of the TAIL thus enabling it to climb
rocks and steep ascents. There is no
doubt that the teeth lead to glands con-
tanning poison. 1t is very slow in It's
movements, but it is not tlmld like
other reptiles. If one attempts TO
strike the gila with a stick it will
grasp the weapon in its jaws like
dog does and when angered 1T emlts
it's breath in a succession of quick
gasps 1t is supposed that the breath
of the gila has drug-like effect on in
sects. and as it can be detected at
considerable distance, it is believed
that this is the way it catches It's
food"

cesspools. 1t is the lowest point in
its vicinity into which liquids drain.
Frequently privy is located within a
stones throw of an open well. When
the water table rises to the surface of
the ground. as it always does during
the winter in Western Oregon, all sur
face water is contaminated, and, as the
water level lowers, the open wells be-
come reservoirs for the drainage.
The ordinary stone or brick wall OF
an open we'll only serves the purpose
of preventing the caving in of the
earth and in no sense acts as filter.
We have received samples of water
from open wells, situated near barn
yards or dwellings, which were loaded
with organisms that are instrumental
in decomposing manure. The samples
gave strong reactions of ammonia by
chemical analysis and were even tinted
with the color of liquid manure. One
particular sample was thus polluted
from a flower bed near the house, the
flower bed having been heavily ma
nured.
In localities where water is piped in
to the house and there is no sewer, the
toilets should be connected with prop
erly constructed septic tank and the
effiuent should be piped long distance
from the we'll and empty on the surface
of the ground, where sun and air may
still further purify it. If an open clos
ct must be used, concrete vault, well
cemented, should be constructed, in
stead of mere hole in the ground, and
lime frequently thrown into it to pre-
vent the breeding of flies. Earth clos
cts have been very successful and con-
sist of galvanized iron trays or tubs
that may be emptied away from the
premises; dry earth or ashes should be
used in connection with them to absorb
moisture and suppress odor.
1t is we'll known that flies breed in
human and animal manure; for exam
pie, the deposits of human excreta are
often seen to be a crawling mass of
maggots, these are the larvae Matched

UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.
Water Supply in Many Gases Found
Unnecessarily Polluted.

Unnecessarily Polluted.
Eff. Pernot, Oregon Agricultural College,
Corvallis.
The condition in which I find water
received from various parts of the state
warrants my calling the attention OF
the public to the unsanitary conditions
which must exist surrounding their
water supply. Some samples of water
taken in storile bottles under asceptic
precautions, contain as high as 63, $50
germs per cubic centimeter Ia teaspoon
holds about five cubic centimeters of
water and an ordinary drinking glass
about 225 cubic centimeters). Aglass
full of such water would therefore con-
tain Ia, 305, 500 living germs. While
it is true that many varieties of these
germs are not directly disease produc-
ing, the continued introduction of such
large quantities Of them into the sys-
tenn lowers vitality and increases sus-
ceptibility to the disease producing
types when they gain access to the
body. Water containing so many or
ganisms carries also, in solution, the
ptomaines from the putrefaction of the
organic matter in which they grew.
These large number of organisms gen
orally find their way into open wells by
surface drainage and where they can
pass, so may the disease producing
types pass also.
The waters from driven wells are
comparatively free from organisms.
An open we'll is an abomination and is
not in keeping with our present under
standing of the laws of sanitation.
The question arises, how can we bet
ter our condition. Where we'll is the
only means of obtaining water, let it
be dug to the water bearing stratum,
wall it up with brick laid in cement
for ten feet, arch it over with the
pump pipe and arch we'll cemented in,
fill the remainder of the hole, which
may be Is to 20 feet, with clay well
tramped down and the result will be a
bottomless brick jug, deep under
ground, into which no surface water,
worms nor animals can penetrate. The
water from such well is as pure as
can be obtained from the locality in
which it is situated.
There are many families living in
the country who should enjoy the best
of health, but who are always ailing.
The cause of i'll health may, as rule,
be traced to their use of polluted water
produced by the unsanitary condition
of their surroundings. But few homes
have proper drainage from sinks and
baths, dish water is thrown out of the
pack door on the ground near the well,
garbage is similarly disposed of to de-
compose and drain into the well. Wash
water containing filth that would not
be tolerated on the clothing is also
emptied on the ground to drain into
the well. Most of the open wells situ-
sted near the house or barn are but
