The way to keep the fly out of the
house is to put on screens before the
fly gets inside. The house fly has
come TO be a great sanitary problem.

more dangerous than the typhoid

merous and putting germs on food
where they will be taken into the
stomach and become more active.
The doctors tell US that these insects
are responsible for the transmission
of typhoid and other germs, and that
they are frequent cause of infection.
Flies frequent the filthiest places, and
they come thence into the house, de-
dling everything they touch, and
they touch pretty much everything
except the fly paper prepared for
their reception. The scientists do
not say so, but probably the house
fly is responsible for bald headedness
One can easily construct a theory
and prove it. The house fl y carries
the germ that destroys the hair All
bald headed men have felt them
working at the business. At any rate
it is known fact that flies are at
tracted to bald heads, and it is an
easy turn of logic to say that they
create them. To be more serious,
however, there is no doubt whatever
that flies do carry infection, and that
a crusade against the house fly is full
ly as important as erusades against
mosquitoes. Every one should take
part in it and fight the house fly and
seek to exterminate the germ-bear-
ing beast. The immortal declara-
ton, @Darn fiji, has scientific back

BAY SHRINKING.

Gradual disappearance from view
Of a number Of Chesapeake Bay
islands are causing no little concern.
Well along in the nineties many Of
these island we're prosperous com
munities and contributed III no small
measure to the prosperity Of the
Counties in which they are situated.
Today some Of them are almost en-
tirely hidden from view, nothing re-
naming to mark the once busy towns
but few ramshackle buildings here
and there that were not wort h remoy-
ing to the mainland.
On Deals Island many res idents
have been moved further up on the
island within the last decade because
of the apparent sinking Of the lower
end of the island. From the steam
boat landing out in Tangier Sound,
to the island, to which it is connected
by pier something over mile long
there once were fertile fields. Smiths
Island, below Crisheld, which lies
partly in Maryland and partly IN
Virginia. once was one of the larpast
islands on the Eastern Shore, butfor
the past ten years or fifteen years the
waters have risen over it to such an
extent that hundreds of islanders
have raised their homes and with all
their belongings moved over to the
mainland, where they rebuilt and
began life anew. Hollands Island,
once the richest island along the BAY
from monetary standpoint, and the
most thickly set tied, now has but
very few over 100 persons living
there. Ten or l . years back it was
about eight miles long by five miles
wide, today it is no, over i've miles
in lengtl aud its greatest width is
barely a mile. Captain William G..
Bennett, one Of the wealthiest men
on the island, boughta patch OF town
lots in Cambridge for years ago,
raised every dwelling house that he
ownei on the island, took them to
Cambridge in his vessels and rebuilt

Sharp's Island, it was once thought,
would become a great watering place,

300 acres of land TO build a summer

nents had not their attention been
attracted by the gradual rising of the
water over the island, whereupon
hey abandoned their scheme and |

rom the bay and river have almost
demolished the hotel.
'hirty years ago, old residents of
'harp's Island say, they could get

that spanned the stream that made |
