delves back into his memory and says;
81 can remember when there wasn't
screen door in the entire township in
which I lived; when in summer a girl
with a big fly brush "a limb broken
from a tree with the leaves on, or if
the family could afford it, brush
made of feathers from peacocks'
tails), would stand and shoe the flies
off the table while the family ate their
meals; when they submerged the dish
on the table to keep the flies
from getting in it; when every
room in the house fairly swarmed
with flies. And there was no more
disease in that community than there
is now. In fact, dozens of new dis
eases have been discovered since the
open door policy has been improved
on. People lived just as long and had
just as good a time then as they do
now, even if they did have to fight the
flies. I don't advocate doing away
with the screens, by any means, but
I do think there is lots of bosh about
flies spreading so much disease

HOTELS HELP CITIES.

Because movement is under way
in Topeka looking towards the estab-
hshment here of a large and frst-cIass
hotel, any opinion on that subject and
the value of such an institution to
community cannot fail to be of inter-
est. One such was expressed recently
by the Hartford, Conn.,. Times, as fol-
lows:
''It is a truism to say that a first
class hotel is one of the best adver-
tisements that a city can have. The
excellent hostelry facilities of Hart
ford have eXerted stimulating in
f1uence on the development of the
community. The splendid hotel which
is now the pride and boast of Wat
erbury has introduced thousands of
people to the Brass city during the
past few years. Long-distance motor
ing has promoted the demand for ex-
cellent hotels and is now a source of
large revenue to them. Automobile
parties constitute a profitable fraction
of the patronage of the leading hotels
of the United States and may be reck-
oned as a permanent element of i'm
portance in the operations of elegant
hostelries. The structure which is to
be erected in Springfield will be a val

ICE HAS IT'S DANGERS.

In these days of stirring warfare
against disease of all kinds and the
germs. microbes and other agencies that
produce them and scatter them about,
the attention of the public has been d.
rected to the possibility of these agen-
cies for disease lurking in almost every
thing that is in common and every day
use. It is pretty hard to handle or
touch anything which. in the minds of

dangers to the public health unless the
utmost care and all sorts of safeguards
are used. That ice is in this banefui
category is emphasized by Hollis God
frey, a writer in the Atlantic Monthly
for June. He points out that the dan
ger of infection from ice is great and
he makes strong arguments setting
forth the cause for this danger, as fol-
lows:
Scar eely another article of human
consumption receives so much direct
handling just before its use as does this
food. Bread, meat and butter are cut
Bread, probably handled more than any
ether food on the list. has a hard
