the little things are the dangerous ones

the microbes, those in,measurably
minute plants aud animals, too small
for the unaided human eye TO see.
We first learned Of the part the mos

about fifteen years ago that the first

this insect, and its actual guilt a. q

War, when 30 many Of the flower Of
American youth died Of typhoid fever

change has taken place. In spite Of .
financial and business depression which
has affected the entire country and

before In Its history In an equal period.
The home and the saloon are enemies
from fint to last. The money which
should build neat cottages, with porch-
