"SWAT THE FLY"
Government Etomolceist Says Insect
Should be Called Typhoid Fly"
Instead Of House Fly.

Washington, Aug. THE in
sect we now call the house fly
should be termed the typhoid
fly in order to direct attention
TO the danger of allowing it to
breed unchecked" says l.. o.
Howard. chief of the department
of the Agricultural Bureau of
Entomology, in a farmers bulletin
just issued.
Prof. Howard says a careful
screening of windows and doors
the summer, supplement
ted with fly catching devices, is
the surest preventative of dis
ease through these germ bear
ing insects. The sanitary keep
ing Of stables would do much to-
ward Graduating the fly, he says.
The health department of mum
cipalities are urged to take such
remedial measures and see to
their enforcement.
A swat the fly" crusade now
on in Washington is to be backed
up by a swat the man. move
ment in which the health authori-
ties will vigorously enforce the
law concerning the care OF
stables.

CAL0MEL Sometimes
CAUSES SALVATION
Donson's Liver-Tone Has All the
Medicinal Properties Of Calomel
With None Of its DANGEROUS
After Effects.

You can get along without
taking calomel yourself or giving
it to your family when you can
buy a substitute for it as good
as Dodson's Live-Tone. bod
sons liver-Tone is a pure, harm
less vegetable liquid that starts
the liver to action just as surely
as calomel does. But, unlike
calomel. Dodson's Liver-Tone
does not stimulate the liver too
much. 1t cures constipation
gently instead of making you
more bilious than you were at
first, and it can no more salivate
you than "a tablespoonful Of
maple syrup can saliyate you.
DOnsOn's Liver-Tone has given
such perfect satisfaction to every
person to whom w. j. Sedberry
has sold a bottle that this store
will give the money back to any
person who buys a bottle and
does not find it perfect substi-
tute for calomel. 1t is worth
something to you to try medi-
cine with a guarantee like that.

Iron Ore Developer ent.

One of the largest mining com
panies in the South has just been
incorporated for the purpose of
developing the iron ore of East
Texas, and for shipping it to
Eastern markets. The company
is known as the East Texas
Brown Ore Development Com
pany of Port Bolivar, and has a
capitalization of -, POO, 900, with
l.. P. Featherstone, l.. G. Luckel
and r. Winnie, as incorporatOrs.
The company has large num-
Der of orders for iron ore from
points on the Atlantic coast and
by the time the new railway is
ready to receive it the company
will be in shape to deliver the
ore to fill contracts already made
with Eastern buyers.
The iron ore fields of Texas
are as yet almost untouched and
it is estimated that this com
pany alone owns over 100, 600, 600
tons of brown ore.
This company has decided to
establish it's crushing and wash
ing plant at Ore City and will
assert their ore and prepare it
ready for the smelter before
shipping thus saving the ex-
pense of shipping dirt and what
might be termed culls.

| Austin. TEX. July 3i.-Ths
prohibition convention here this
| morning was a REPETITION Of thu
convention ut Fort Worth Sat
urday. Tom Ball opened will
an address in which he said tb'
prohibition organization might
remain here two or three days
until they decide upon what
course should be taken.
Ball expressed some doubt a.
to whether it would be better to
carry the election to the courts
in a contest or to have thorough
investigation in order that the
people might know where to pro
tect themselves at the next cleo
ton, which they expect to come
in two years.
Elk Governor Campbell ant
William Poindexter both made
speeches. The keynote of the
governors speech was the de.
mand for publicity of campaign
expenses in the statewide cleo.
ton. POindexter urged that
the prohibitionists stand undi-
vided and not to permit the
ants to divide them on the
Bailey question or any other.
After an all day conference,
participated in by probably POO
prohibitionists, $50 or more OF
whom were from Fort Wodth, a
resolution asking the legislature
to make an investigation of all
funds paid by saloons and the
different branches of the liquor
interests in an effort to defeat
submission and state wide pro
hibition," was adopted late Sat
srday afternoon at Fort Worth.
The resolution also call for an
investigation of campaign funds
used during the past few years
in selecting various officials
and requests the district judges
to charge the grand juries to in
vestigate reports of illegal vot-
ing in the election of July %.
The document also calls Oh pro-
hibitionists to present a solid
front in the campaign next year
for a prohibition governor, lieut.
enant governo. and members of
both houses of the legislature.
Leaders of the Bailey and
anti Bailey factions in the ranks
of the pros declared that all
personal issues should be for
gotten in the 1912 campaign.
For the most part the meeting
was harmonious. Serious dis
sension developed at the meet
ing however. During the dis
cussion of the investigation res
olution some of those present
declared that great breadth and
scope of the proposed investi-
cation might thwart it's purpose.

War on The Mosquito.

Since the heavy rains of the
last few weeks the people ought
to be advised Of the necessity OF
taking proper precautions to pre-
vent malaria. The ordinary mos.
quito is the principal distributor
of malaria, and every one in the
city ought to unite in an effort to
destroy the mosquito as well as
the fly.
Screen all cisterns and empty
all barrels and other receptables
that may contain water. Punch
holes in all tin cans and put oil
on every pool of stagnant water.
If this is done malaria fever can
easily be avoided. The city has
been practically free from ma
laria during the entire summer,
and with a little united effort on
the part of the citizens this
record can be maintained Dial

who is handicapped by the lack
of this special training.
