Wasted Sarcasm.

The Philadelphia milk dealers who
recently raised the price of their
product to nine cents quart and then
lowered 1t again to eight appear to
have been the subjects of a great deal
of unjust censure. They announced
at the time of the raise that milk
could not be sold at eight cents with.
out loss. Finding that the consumers
would not pay the new price, however,
they are continuing to sell at the old,
thereby qualifying as genuine philan.

at eight cents a quart will doubtless
hereafter feel that he is an object of
charity.

ease. He is the chief cause in the transmission of
typhoid fever, hence he has come to be called the
typhoid fly" All intestinal diseases. such as
cholera infantum which kills children by the
thousands. are more frequent whenever and
wherever flies are most abundant. It is this little
pest and not the summers heat which is the active
agent in the spread of these diseases. Keep the
flies off of the lips and face of the helpless babe.
The spongy feet and hairy body of the fly
make it possible for him to carry thousands of
germs he is found transmitting not only the
germs of typhoid fever, but what is worse, the
germs of consumption from the sputum on the
sidewalk or cuspidor to the food we eat. Flies
transmit germs of consumption to man.
During the Spanish-American War thousands
of soldiers died of typhoid fever. Upon investiga-
ton the officers of the regiments were found eat
ing their food under screened tents while the food
of the privates was left exposed. It is known that
disease germs of the sick found abundantly IN
the waste matter. The epidemic was confined to
the privates and the flies were seen coming direct
from the waste pits to their tables. When the re-
fuse In the pits was covered with lime then the
food was marked by the white tracks of the flies.
Thus the presence of the fly is not only nuisance
but he may spread disease wherever he goes. His
touch may be death. His presence should not be
tolerated. The fly must be extermnated.
A person can catch disease only by coming in
contact with it. For example, the germ of ty-
phoid fever must be swallowed in the food that
one eats or in the liquid that one drinks or OBJ
tanned from the vessel from which one eats or
drinks Cleanliness prevents disease
Remember that milk is an excellent culture
medium for the growth of germs. If exposed to
flies, and a few germs get into it a very
short time these germs will multiply into the
thousands germs multiply with great rapdty.
Therefore, keep the flies away from all food,
whether it be for sale the street, in the store,
the butcher shop, or in the kitchen. But especial
| ly keep them away from milk.

promotion of health to clip these health bulletins

THE BATHTUB TRUST.

1t has come at last and it seems queer that
nobody had ever thought of it before The over
sight has now been remedied and the bathtub
trust is a reality, one hundred million dollar
reality. There really wasn't much left to combine
excepting the bathtubs. Nearly everything from
chewing gum to patent adjustable can openers had
been taken care of by the gentlemen who promote
the mergers and when the householder bought
anything, from the latch on the front gate to the
hinge on the back door of the barn. he was obliged
to pay tribute to some sort of trust Nobody en-
tertained the idea for moment that the bathtubs
were not merged, but this little defect has been
corrected and the home is thoroughly trusted from
the tree lawn to the back alley.
Of course there are certain sections of the
United States, mostly in the great Cities that will
not be at all affected by the new combination and
it is not far-reaching in effect as the tobacco
trust the whiskey trust or the oil trust The
merger can therefore be looked upon with a GER
tain degree of compacency. Those who have
bought their bathtubs need not be disturbed as
with any sort of care bathtub can be made to
last long time. Some persons would not wear
out bathtub in hundred years. Of course in
the New York flats where people use them to sleep
in, the average life of the bathtub is somewhat
shorter than in the country districts, where they
are used exclusively in their natural capacity

BEWARE OF THE TYPHOID FLY"

The common housefy is the most dangerous
enemy of mankind This pestiferous creature is
especially prevalent during the warm season of
the year. He begins his existence as a tiny wrig-
CLING worm in any pile Of filth. The egg is de-
posted in this ncubating material and matches un-
der favorable condition in about twenty-four hours
after being laid. 1t then remains in the larva or
maggot stage from five to seven DAYS. 1t requires
from ten days to two weeks for the fly to reach the
adult stage. The home of the fly is, therefore
manure rubbish, and garbage of all kinds. The
presence of the fly means disease and unsanitary
conditions. Where there is ne filth there are no
flies. Keep the home surroundings clean.
