 Each individual should follow out the directions given for the treatment of his own property and should do the work thoroughly.
 1. The secrets of successful com munity work are organization, skillful planning, thoroughness and unremit- ting persistence in execution. Half work causes Encouragement and skepticism.
 The other pamphlet deals with the common house fly, and makes a stronq plea for their extermination, pointing out the diseases they carry, and says: Files kill greater number of people than all the beasts of prey, with all of the poisonous serpents added. They spread disease which stays thousands, while big powerful beasts kill single victims.
 As soon the fly comes out of his shell he is full grown and starts out in the world to make living, and if your home is not clean he knows it by the odor of filth for miles.
 As much as they like filth odors they dislike other odors Where a bad odor will attract them, the clean odor will repulse them. A pleasant smelling substance-the fragrence of flowers, geraniums, mignonette, law enderer any perfumery will drive them away.
 He wipes his feet on the food you eat, on the faces and on the hps of your sleeping children. This does more to spread typhoid fever and cholera infantum and other intestinal diseases than any other cause.
 
 Many diseases which are attributed 10 milk and water originate through flies A polluted brook, river ar lake furnishes germs and flies in millions settle on the refuse that settles along the waters edge.
 Intestinal diseases are more ire Quent whenever and wherever flies are most abundant, and they, and not the summer heat are the active agents in it's spread.
 There is special danger when flies drop into such fluid as m'lk. This forms an ideal culture material for the bacillus. A few germs washed from the body of one fly may develop into millions within a few hours, and the person who drinks such milk will receive large doses of bacill, which may later cause serious sickness.
 The pamphlet also contains the fol- l lowing Don't:

The shadow Of Science.

1t is hard to believe that shadow
Is probably the origin of all astronom-
ical, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear IN
The sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow of Jgnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year 1t is from. the shadow OF
a gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours OF
work for a water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is o. lhurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south East and west are pegs
In the ground, evenly marking the
space Of earth between sunrise and
sunset. In land of constant sun
shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer. 1t was also the primi-
tive foot rule.

cb,Idren,s FOOD.

Certain little suggestions are always
to be followed when planning the diet
of the little ones. To keep healthy
little stomachs in the nursery never
serve hot stewed fruit to the children.
Plenty of stewed fruit and baked APP
pies they should eat, but they must
invariably be cooked the day before
and dished up cold. The nursery po-
tatoes should always be baked or
boiled in their Jackets. Stewed and
fried potatoes or potatoes boiled with.
out their skins supply starch, with a
loss of all the wholesome potash salts
that the skin gives out during the
process of cooking into the white part
OF the vegetable.
