ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June
|29.-Doetors all over the country
will be busy catching flies, now
that two eminent medical men

detect typhoid fever through the
insects. DIR. Liston H. Montgom-
cry and DIR. w. Forrest Dutton at
the American medical association
here, revealed the re-
suits of their hunt for typhoid
germs. They used the flies as de-
|tectives.

the doctors believed, and the start
ed out to "get the goods on them.
"A number of flies were caught and
|put under a miscroscope. Those
that showed no traces of typhoid
germs were kept and the others
were released.
Then the fly prisoners were
stained red or green and allowed
TO fly heaven, wherever that is In
time they return to the house.
The red and green flies then
were caught and put under the
microscope again.

IN WHOM SHOULD WE VEST

To the Editor of the Times:
By piece of Ubiquitous legis-

American law-making, our Metro

power superior, we might say,
even to that of the king OF Eng
land, |. e., the power of fixing

Jared the democratic ideals of
the citizens of Tacoma consider
ably. Acting under this law, the
board has fixed the salary of
Nelson Bennett at $500 a month.
This action has caused the tax
payers of the city to stand aghast,
to wonder what further possibili-
ties menace them should the
members of the board work har-
moniously in consert along this
line. and to seek a remedy. 1t
would appear to me that the tax
payers are not SO much opposed
to Nelson Bennett receiving q
salary of 5000, or even $500, per
month. or any other man receiv-

viding he Is competent, deyotes all

From Tuesdays Daily.
Mrs. Janet B. Hill of Boston says in
a current magazine: 'ln these days
in which women have gone mad on the
suffrage question would it not be well
for each and all of us to call a halt
and inquire. am | qualified to vote UNI
derstandingly on municipal, civic and
national questions? Have l so man
aged my own special little world that
have gained the right to be "called
up higher Some of the questions
that it is pertinent for us to consider
are as follows: Do L spend the money
intrusted to me in a manner to secure
the greatest satisfaction to all con-
| cerned? Are my family fed to secure
their highest efficiency, mentally and
morally? Am | able to manage the
different people in my employ in such
a manner that while l receive fair
equivalent for the money expended,
they are satisfied and contented to
remian continuously in my employ?
Is my house furnished with an
eve to the neatness, simplicity
and durability that are essential in u
home where the chief worker wishes to
devote some time to the consideration
of the larger affairs of city and state?
We would think that these questions
ought to be answered in the affirIaa-
tive by IL vast number of women, for
domestic science and home management
have been given some little attention
in the past twenty years. But, in
truth, one is often appalled, at the
meagreness of the results obtained. The
leaven has penetrated but small por-
ton of the mass to be leavened. Look
at the households on every side of us.
can we say they are properly man
aged? If child be fed on modified
cows milk, do not three fourths of its
neighbors shrek and really believe that
the poor child is being starved to
death? If an occasional child of two
or three years is led by a well-thougnt-
out and systematic SET of formulas,
do not nine -tenths of the community
say, "My children at that age ate
everything that the rest of the family
ate, and they seem to have about as
good health as Others of their age?"
Do we object or even comment, when
the boarding houses and commons"
where our college boys and girls are
fed are supervised by individuals abb
solutely ignorant of food values and
non -conversant with modern ideas of
dietetics? How many of us-represen-
tatives of the most up-to-date women
of the country we are wont to con-
slider ourselves-refuse to buy bread,
rolls or even non-essentials like mer-
ingues, macaroons and lady fingers from
the nearby bakery that is situated in
close proximity to a stable or under
the same roof as the stable, and hence
swarming with flies. If we are not
educated to act on such questions as
these, how can we be expected to act
on questions that will come up within
the broader horizon of the town or
state? If our whole aim in life is to
get away as far as possible from al
matters pertaining to our own house
keeping, how can we be interested for
any length of time in the housekeep-
ing of the state?"
