tion Stated.
Jackson, Miss-The approach OF the
general conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church. like all
epoch making events. evokes much
discussion as to the issues to be de-
cided and the men to be honored
There is no getting around the fact
that the general conference Of the AZ
riean Methodist Episcopal church in
legislating for a great church and
eIcvating men to positions Of trust
and honor is one of the truly great
meetings held among Afro-Americans.
1t looks like four or five bishops to
meet the growing demand caused by
the expansion Of the church on the
one hand and the death and inability
of several bishops on the other. There
is large number of men in the church
wtlo could iii the episcopacy or any
other Mice with credit and honor, and
many of them are being constantly
mentioned In connection with that Of
ice.
In order that the country at large
might be informed from time to time

to shape themselves for this epoch
making meeting, it might be well to

Now Is The Time to Swat the Fly.

If you see a fly walking over
the food aud dishes, or alightlng
on your oaby's face, remember
that he is a messenger of disease
and death, says the July Woman's
Home Companion.
The rules for dealing with the
fly nuisance, published by the
Merchants Association of New
York, and widely circulated by
them, are worth reprinting. We
repeat our suggestion that an ex.
cellent work for any live woman's
club would be to reproduce these
rules on cards and distribute
them broadcast.
Keep the flies away from the
sick, especially those Ill with con.
taglous diseases. Kill every fly
that strays into the sick room.
His body Is covered with disease
germs.
Do not allow decaylng material
of any sort to accumulate on or
near your premises. All refuse
which tends in any way to fer
mentauon, such as bedding
straw, paper waste and vegetable
matter should be disposed of or
covered with lime or kerosene.
Screen all food. Keep all re-
ceptacles for garbage carefully
covered and the cans cleaned or
sprinkled with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure IN vault
or pit, screened or sprinkled with
lime, oil or other cheap prepara.
tion. See that your sewage sys-
TEN is in good order; that it does
not leak, is up to date and not ex.
posed to flies. Pour kerosenel In
to the drains.
Cover food after a meal; burn or
bury all table refuse. Screen all
food for sale.
Screen all windows and doors,
especially the kitchen and dining.
room.
Burn pyrethum powder IN the
house to kill flies.
Don't forget if you see flies,
that their breeding, place is IN
nearby filth. 1t may be behind
the door, under the table, or IN
the cuspidor.
If their is no dirt or filth, there
will be no flies.
If there is a nuisance IN the
neighborhood, 1t would be ad.
vlsable to write at once to the
health department.

Twelve Huntingdon county
teachers will be compelled to take
one or two years advanced nor
NAL or college work as a result of
missing an examination a few
weeks ago. The permanent cer-
ttcate examination was held the
first of June IN Huntingdon and
about a dozen young men decided
they would take the examination
at the second gathering as there
have always been two or three
such chances here. The school
code intervened and now the
state board refuse to allow the
local examining board to examine
these teachers under the old law,
as the new code permits but one
such examination a year they
have lost their chance. When
they do take 1t, 1t will be under
the new regime and all of them
are short one or two advanced
branches which they must get.
