DANGER AND DEATH
 LURK ON THE FLY

Summer is here and with it comes that pesky and troublesome nuisance the housefy. Many regard the fly with tolerance, but no more dangerous foe to health exists than he. Those who re- gard the fly as harmless make a great mistake. The fly is nuisance, men ace and curse. It is one of the modern plaques of Egypt, t,ingrafted upon present careless civilization. It swarms in the home and invades our utmost privacy.
 AS carrier of contagion it is the habit of the fly to swarm over fecal matter and other filth and then to feed upon our ta- ble, depositing thereon perhaps the germ of typhoid fever, dysentery or tubercu- losis. These facts call for better sanita- ton and the destruction of breeding places, especially in the spring of the year, when they commence to breed from the few flies or eggs which have survived the winter. Each female lays about 150 eggs, which hatch ln about eight hours time. Then they pass through the stages of maggots and pupae and become adult flies in about ten days, ready to breed again, so that it can,read- fly be seen how rapidly they multiply by the end of the summer. The follow ing rules have been laid down for deal. ing with the nuisance: #.
 Do not allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate on or near your pre-, misses.
 All refuse which tends in any way to fermentation, such as bedding, straw, paper, waste and vegetable matter, should be disposed of or covered with lime. Keep all rsceptacles for garbage care fully covered and the cans cleaned or sprinkled with lime.
 Keep all stable manure in vault or pit, screened or sprinkled with lime.
 See that your sewerage system is in good order; that it does not leak, is up to-date and not exposed to flies. Pour kerosene into the drains Burn or bury all table refuse. ..-
 Screen the flies away from the sick, especially those i'll with contagious dis eases. Kill every fly that strays into the sick room. His body is covered with disease germs.
 While it may be impossible to exter- minate all flies yet, the danger and trou- ble may be greatly lessened by proper use of screens for doors and windows.

Friendship, Love and Truth

Ut places these things in their right ful place i'll world which is often too willing to set them aside or regard them in an inferior light Friendship is some times treated as a commodity. It is continued or discontinued, bought or sold, very much as are material things. There is often, iu this day, not placed upon it that high estimate which pro- perly belongs to it and without which its nature cannot be truly understood. Love is too often but another name for self-seeking and is lacking in those qual- ities by virtue of which alone it is en- titled to its name. Truth is made to be a very elastic quality so as to include very much which is not fact. Right eousness and justice are reduced to neg
 igible quantities and might is made the basis of action. Religious beliefs of any kind are considerd unnecessary, and the enjoyment of the self, in many ways and upon all occasions is made the sole and supreme object of effort. Indeed, much of the present day mode of think ing is decidedly materialistic, and your order is highly to be commended for the stand which it takes in behalf of higher and better things. With wise under standing of life, it also does not fail to appreciate opportunities for material good. And many persons within its ranks, will not fail, upon its occasions of memorial. to be mindful of those persons who at some needy time have given them better point of view and have helped them over some hard and rough places.

A Ba sic Necessity

pltC6Ss
 A Basic Necessity
 ''Friendship should rightly occupy very high place in true view of life, and it is well that its worth should be commemorated. Its existence is funda- mental and it is basic necessity of har- monious and happy life. Its fundamen- tai nature is attested by the family where it is an integral part of that first of divine institutions. Any family where friendship does not reign is miss ing one of it's best things and, without it, disruption will most certainly be hastened. In the normal course of life, original family ties will be broken, but, if there is not friendship, separation may occur while some or all of it's members are still living. There is in good friend ship fundamental bond of continuity which has power to sustain good things and to make them q source of blessing to all persons with whom they may come in contact.
 "Friendship should be right and should be placed upon high and worthy objects. As we are conformed, to some extent, to the likeness of tAJ things with which We associate, it is fitting that the good and true things should be sought. High and fine principles should be the object of endeavor. This is by 10 means to be construed as advising isolation Man is to live among men. He is to do his work among them. He is to try to do away with inferior things. There is to be an attitude of opposition to things which are wrong and inferior. There is to be effort to better the world. But all this necessitates firm llegiance to things which are eminently good and true friendship for them.
 Not to be Lightly Severed
 "The limits of friendship with persons are not to be drawn too narrowly. It is conceivable that even where there is great wrong done. there may be a per. sistence of friendship on one persons part ill order that the offending person or persons may be led ultimately into ways of righteousness and truth. Be. fore any friendly relations are broken, there should be reasons of most serious character. The friendly bond may not lightly be cut in two. And there are wide limits within which friendliness may and ought to exist. Differences of nationality should not constitute a ground for rise of unfriendliness Parties of any and various kinds should by no means be based upon hostility and continued in it. Wide differences of political opinion. are not to be grounds of bitterness and hatred. All kinds of intellectual discussion will serve the truth best as it is carried on within the limits of large good nature. Least of all should different religious affiliations be allowed to stir the baser emotions and | to break down kind and considerate | intercourse on the part of all Christians each to each. Friendliness isb to be | maintained regardless of intellectual be- l lief as long as the commonly accepted l standards of morality are maintained. | This attitude not only makes appeal as being the more Christian attitude, but it will hasten the unification of Christian 1 ity and will make more effective Chris. |

That 3 to o victory which the Athletics
scored over the All-Stars yesterday
should give the admirers and hackers OF
the American League champions ne"
hope, though their showing on the whoie
against the picked team was hardly OF
a kind to be expected from team which

But this base ball is such an uncertain
proposition that the victory yesterday
may be looked upon as the turning point
Of a slump which the Mackmen en-
countered ever since they started their
final exhibition season. While the VIC
tory may bring hope to those who are
anxious TO see an American League team
win worlds title. it will not have the
slightest effect on those speculativeiy IN
clined, for the odds will remain the same
the odds-on with the Cubs favorites.
OF course, these two teams have never

cided until the two nave cisshed on the
