to eat, leaving the poison for you to
swallow.
This does more to spread typhoid
fever and cholera infantum and other
intestinal diseases than any other
cause.
Contact Brings Disease.
Disease attacks human beings only
when they are brought in contact with
1t. For instance, you cannot get ty-
phoid fever unless you swallow the
germs Of typhoid. and You do not
swallow these germs unless they get
on the food you oat or In the liquids
you drink or On the glasses or cups
from which you drink.
Intestinal diseases are more frequent
whenever and wherever flies are most
abundant, and they and not the sum-
mer heat are the active agents OF Its
spread.
There is special danger when flies
drop into such fluid as milk. This
forms an ideal culture material for the
bacillus. A few germs washed from
the body of one fly may develop into
millions within few hours, and the
| person who drinks such milk will re-
i ceive large doses of bacilli. which
may later cause serious sickness.
Strike at the root of the evil. Dis
pose of waste materials in such a way
that the housefy cannot propagate, for
flies breed in horse manure, decaying
vegetables. dead animals and all
kinds of filth. So look after the gar
bage cans, see that they are cleaned,
sprinkled with lime or kerosene oil
and closely covered.
Screen all windows and doors and
insist that your grocer, butcher. baker
and every one from whom you buy
foOdstuffs does the same. and remem-
Der that large percentage Of flies
breed in the stable.
There Is more health in well
screened house than In many a doc
tors visit
After you have cleaned up your own
premises inspect the neighborhood for
fly breeding places. Call the attention
of the owner to them and If he does
not remove them complain to the
board Of health.
Keep flies away from the kitchen.
Keep flies out Of the dining room and
away from the sick. especially from
those i'll with contagious diseases.
Simple Means of Killing Flies.
TO clear rooms of flies carbolic acid
may be used as follows: Heat shov-
ell or any similar article and drop
thereon twenty drops Of carbolic acid
The vapor kills the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly

human life. is bchromate of potash in
solution. Dissolve one dram. which
can be bought at any drug store. in
two ounces of water and add a little
sugar. Put some of this solution in
shallow dishes and distribute them
about the house.

VALUABLE FLY DON'TS.

Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't buy foodstuffs where
flies are tolerated.
Don't allow your fruits and

swarms of flies.
Don't let flies crawl over the

Why 1t Is Called Typhoid Fly.
The common housefy is coming to
be known as the typhoid fly" and
when the term becomes universal
greater care will be exercised in pro-
tecting the house from its presence.
Flies swallow the germs of typhoid
in countless millions while feeding on
the excreta of typhoid patients. AS a
result they spread thousand more ty-
phoid germs in their eXcreta than on
their feet
Flies kill a greater number of hui
man beings than all the beasts of
prey and poisonous serpents. for they

Most of our diseases are caused by
invisible germs that lodge and grow in
our bodies. destroying our tissues or
poisoning us with their eXcreta. These
germs may be brought to us from some
sick person by whatever is large
enough to carry them and has the OPP
portunity. Combine this fact with
what every one knows about flies and
we see at once the tremendous impor-
lance of flies as carriers of human
disease germs.
Feet of Flies Are Deadly.
Look closely at the picture Of the fly
resting on the glass and viewed from
below. Look at the feet and observe
that each foot is equipped with two
claws and two light colored pads. The
fly clings to rough surfaces by means OF
the claws and to smooth surfaces by
a combined action of the claws and
pads The fy's pads are covered with
thousands of minute short hairs sticky

ly adhesion.

SOFT, WHITE HANDS


For preserving the hands as we'll
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
gety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura ONT
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light BAN
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

out the world. Potter Drug & Chem.

WOMEN AND CHARGE CHECKS
Economical With Real Money, but
Turns Herself Loose When the
Bill Can BE Booked.

In most of the big luncheon clubs
there is ladies' room for the wives
and daughters of the members. The
women have club cards and are al
lowed to sign their vouchers for what
they have to eat and drink in their
own names. The husbands, of course,
pay the bills at the end of the month.
1t is a curious thing, but in one big
New York luncheon club which has a
membership of about 1900 there are
only twenty-five women who have
cards. A member of the house COM
mittee accounts for 1t in this way:
when a woman has to spend real
money she is one of the greatest
economists you ever saw. When she
can get things charged she just turns
herself loose. If woman is paying
cash for her luncheon she may spend
as much as 80 cents, but if she signs
a slip for it, it isn't real money, ac-
cording to her way of thinking, and
she will blow in So or $40 treating a
party of friends at her husbands club
without thinking it anything out of
the ordinary. It's because our mem
bers understand this, | believe, that
they have been shy about letting their
wives know that there is handsome
ladies' dining room"

SHE RECOGNIZED THE VOICE

Confidential friends of Louis B.
Shields are telling this story about
that eminent Republican: A state
convention at Columbus had just adj
journed and the Cuyahoga county
delegates were all back home when
somebody suggested a friendly game
of poker. The game was going along
right merrily at three a. m.
At that hour an oficious attendant
called up Mr.. Shields residence, which
happened to be almost next door.
This is long distance" said the
servant with no warrant of authority
whatever. 1--WE are all here in Co
lumbus and can't get home until morn
ing"
That's ali right" came back the
reply, but if that voice l hear in the
apartment house next door saying

at night
And that is the end of the story, for
the voice saying that's good" was
indeed that of Mr.. Shields and it was
so near home, so the narrator relates,
that there was no use in offering a
denial.-Cleveland Leader.

AGED TEN; ASKS DIVORCE

Suit for divorce has been entered
at Memphis, Tenn, by ten-year-old
Nellie Johnson-Lamar, declaring that
her marriage to Newton Lamar, who
is thirty-two years old, was brought
about through duplicity on Lamar's
part; that he enticed her away from
her parents and married her when she
was at an age when too tender to know
her own mind and inclinations.
According to statements of persons
concerned, Lamar, barber by trade,
secured marriage license and,
driving to Rev. E. R. Overby's resi-
dence, took him to his bride-to-be. At
tired in long dress, to hide her youth
from the minister, the girl emerged
from her fathers house on the Horn
Lake road. 1t was after dusk and
the license was read by match light.
Lamar had explained that the girl
looked young. but was older than she
appeared.

its position at all, for it appears to be
in the act of slipping off into the
chasm below. The movement is rem

stick under the rock, when the stick
can be seen to bend and straighten
slightly as the boulder is shaken by
the wind. 1t is said by the Burmese
that the boulder is only kept in it's
place by the hair of Buddha buried un-
der the shrine.
People from all parts of the country
come annually in the month, of March
to worship at this pagoda. The jour-
ney necessitates tramp of 20 miles
at least, of which ten miles is a very
stiff climb, the path sometimes trav-

steep precipices down each side, but
the journey does not seem to deter
numbers of both sexes and all ages
from undertaking the pilgrimage. 1t

BUZZ OF THE POLITICAL BEE
Gus and Disastrous Insect Are
Frightful Indeed.

The political bee is one of the most
disastrous insects encountered by
man. 1t is found all over the world.
but is especially prevalent in the
United States. 1t is tiny insect, in
fact, invisible, but its ravages are
frigntful, and so far, no known means
of checking them have been discov-
cred.
The political bee never attacks
young people under twenLy-one. 1t
very seldom attacks women, though of
late. many victims among the gentler
sex have been found. 1t is found in
greatest numbers in caucuses and city
halls, but has been known to attack
an honest citizen while the latter is
spading his garden in the back yard
and render him utterly incapable for
such work for the rest of his life.
The symptoms of the bite of the
political bee are many. Perhaps the
most prevalent is marked swelling
of the head. This is followed by an
aversion to work, which in some
cases. amounts almost to phobia
The victim suffers from an irresistible
desire to congregate with his fellow
men and talk. He develops a great
hatred for men who are in office, and
does his best to drive them out, spend
ing all his money to do so, If neces-
sary.
AS rule brief relief is found from
the bite If the victim gets into Office
himself. This is only temporary,
however. The swelling in the head
becomes more pronounced and a larg
er office is soon necessary
Some men thrive on the bite of the
political bee and even manage to get
rich and famous from the disease
which follows. But as rule the con-
sequences of the bite are disastrous
in the extreme. The only known anti
dote is hard work at some good job
for life, However, no reliable method
of applying the antidote has been dis
covered up to date.-Literary Maya

GIRLS TERRIBLE ORDEAL

The story of young woman's pluck
and presence of mind while passing
through a fearful experience on the
railway track, in which she was forced
to sacrifice her foot to save her life,
comes from country district near
cambridge, New York.
While Miss Eleanor White was
walking on the track near her home
she heard the train approaching, and
in her haste to step from the track
her foot caught in the points, and she
was unable to extricate 1t.
There was moment of awful and
indescribable agony as she heard the
train bearing down upon her. With
great presence of mind she threw her
self sideways from the track, dug her
hands ih some turf to keep from being
dragged under the engine, and the
train passed over her foot.
Her father, who was engaged in the
freight yards near by, heard the
screams of a woman after the train
had passed He rushed to the spot
and was Mortified to find his own

he had hooked off Mobiles Point, near
Rockport, Mass, and drowned before
aid could reach him. The boy slipped
away from his home with his fishing
gear and crawled out over the rocks
and cast his line. No one witnessed
just what happened when the big fish
bit, but his mother, missing the little
