KILL FLY OR HE'LL XIII YOU
A Prominent st. Louis Doctor Declares
That the Pest Spreads Tuber-
cuIosls.

St. Louis, Mo.-Doctor Frances l.
Bishop is a stanch advocate of the
fight on flies to prevent the spread OF
tuberculosis
xiii that fly or he may kill youl'
is the slogan.
"Why? Because he puts his nose
or his feet into all sorts of things and
brings samples to you.
HE rests on garbage pals or walks
through spots Of expectoration on the
sidewalks, and settles on every little
heap of street cleaning and then
comes to dine with you, your guest,
though unlimited. He shakes his
death-laden feet into your jam or
wipes them on your watermelon. The
tracks he leaves are germ-laden tracks
of tuberculous or typhoid fever.
"You may not see them; they may
not be labeled Germs Made in Ger
many but they are there, just the
same, ready to attend strictly to busi.
ness and open up right on your prem
ises a new case of tuberculosis.
ely paper and screens are cheaper
than doctors or undertakers' bills, and
you will never be able to convict that
fly that did the mischief and get dam.
ages from him. So kill that fly"

PAINT Of Charles H. Brayne, an officer
OF the Illinois Humane society Who
declares that they calmly confessed
lhey We're responsible for the child's
condition. Their only Justification.
Mr. Brayne said was that little Hugo
was "a very bad boy and needed
punishment.
AN anonymous complaint from
somebody living near the Lang fat
at S7l Orleans street caused Oficer
Brayne to visit the place. When he
entered the fiat he was met by Lang.
who is fireman When the investi-
gator asked to see the child Lang
asked him to wait until the boy could
be prepared"
But Mr.. Brayne wasn't to be salts
ned so easily He forced his way past
the father and into the darkened
room, where he could hear slight
movements. He felt his way around
the wall until he reached a chain, to
which, he discovered a moment later,
the child was fastened dog fashion.
When he found the chain was being
removed Hugo covered against the
floor, according to the humane officer,
as though in fear of some fresh cruel
ty. Then he was led into the other
room, where he blinked and drew one
arm across his eyes to shut out the
light
The boys hair was matted with
clots of blood, there were cuts on his
face and neck and his leg was swol-
len from contact with the chain.
Lang admitted that he and his
wife had been furnishing Hugo and
said that the child had stolen re-
volver from drawer in their room,
and they were endeavoring to force
him to confess it," said Mr.. Brayne.
''Neighbors say that this has been
going on for three years.
THE spirit Of the boy has been so
broken that he is more like whipped
dog than human being. He crawls
to his parents on all fours when they
call him and has spent much of his
life sobbing in dark room where
they have kept him."

window pressing Essentials.

In dressing a window the trimmer
may often be overwhelmed in seeing
how decorative he can make the dis
play. The idea of decoration in a win
dow display is not to make it so gaudy
as to overbalance and detract from the
goods displayed, but rather to carry
just enough of decoration in the dis
play SO as to make it pleasing to the
eye-to dress it up somewhat, but not
simply to produce pretty picture, says
Chicago Retailer.
A picture, when it carries story, is
very good Advertising design that
carries connection with the store For
instance, maple tree as one retailer
produced in his window, with hose run
ming down the inside of the tree-trunlS
carrying water to spout which pro-
duced the sap, coming from the tree,
dummy figure with pail was catch
ing the sap.
A display of this kind loses none of
its attractiveness by dressing it up with
green foliage or the like, and is really
appropriate with display of this kind,
but in a window where the ordinary
display is made, such as canned or
package goods, the use of much cloth
or other decorative goods takes away
from the display and reduces its adver-
sising and selling power.
The background of a picture is never
so attractive that it takes the eye
from the main object, but is more often
faint, showing a perspective, and dies
away gradually, never sharp or striking.
The trouble with most trimmers is
that they are too egotistical when they
trim a window, their idea being to see
how pretty they can make it, and SO get
credit for an artistic window. They
do not think of the advertising results
of the window or Of catching the eye
of the passerby.

Our Philippine Trada.

Trade between the United States and
the Philippine Islands increased "a per
cent during the first year S operation
of the new tariff law, which provides
for free interchange of merchandise be.
tween those islands and the United
Staets.
Imports from the islands doubled dur,
ing the period in question, and exports
thereto increased about 20 per cent
The new tariff act went into effect
August 6, 1909, and the figures of the
bureau of statistics of the department
of commerce and labor, stating the
trade with the islands from August /,
1908, to July 81, 1910, show: Total i'm.
ports from the islands during the year

25O,S69, and in the year ended July 81,
1910, $17,517675.
The articles which show the principal
increases in imports are sugar, manila
hemp, cigars and cigarettes, copra, fibers
other than manila, hats and bonnets
Sugar increased from a little over ST.
100000 in 1909, to $5,000,000 in 1910;

in 1909 to over $1,750,000 in 1910; ma
Mia hemps, from $7,333,O00 in 1909 to
$11,000,000 in 1910; while copra, fibers,
hats and bonnets show smaller in

On the export side, increases occur in
a much larger number of articles Iron
and steel manufactures increased from
$685. 900 in 1909 to $500, 900 in 1910;
cotton cloths, from less than $780, 900
