principal of the University School OF
Agriculture, died yesterday afternoon
after an acute attack of peritonitis of
less than twenty-four hours. Profess
sor Davisson was taken to the hos
pital Thursday night, and in spite of
all that several attending physicians
could do gradually grew worse until
the end.
According to friends, the university
man had not been in the best of health
for some time past, but the nature of
his trouble had not been considered
serious.
The deceased professor had been
head of the school of agriculture for
the last fifteen years. He was a pow.
er in his work and was popular with
students as we'll as university author
tiles. He was born in Indiana fifty
four years ago and received most Of
his education in that state, being a
graduate of the Indiana state normal
school, He is survived by a widow,
his only child having died several
years ago.

Al. C. Field MinstrsIe

Norfolk saw the best minstrel show
last night that ever came to town.
The AL. G. Field Greater Minstrels,
proved to be the greatest organiza-
ton of it's kind that ever was shown
in the city, and it is doubtful If any
minstrel show anywhere ever came
up to this.
The songs were delightful the jokes
were snappy, the costumes were at
tractive and the special scenic effects
were immense. There is this to be
said about the Field minstrels: The
humor was clean and wholesome. For
the first time in the history of min
strelsy, show has been produced
without the slightest faint of sugges-
tive coarseness, and it was appreciat-
ed by the large audience that gather
ed at the Auditorium.
Gov. Bowen and Walter Sherwood,
the end men, were as clever as they
could be and kept the house in good
humor all evening. The parody on
Chanticleer was a work of art in its
way. The submarine scene and the
naval review were magnificent stage
work.
The company is large one, carry
ing a splendid band and orchestra. All
in all, the entire evening was a great
treat.

Germs to 30 Feared In the Homo.
In the first place, germs should not
be feared-a paradox, If you please.
Respect them. but do not fear them.
A Sound mind in a sound body" is
not an easy mark for germs. But
germs have power to injure those
whose resistance is temporarily low
cred by fatigue, exposure or disease
as we'll as the naturally feeble and
nonresistant.
The principal germ diseases that we
have to contend with in the home are
scarlet fever. measles, diphtheria,
whooping cough, smallpox, cholera,
grip, pneumonia. tuberculosis, dysen-
tary, typhoid fever and malaria. No
doubt the time will come when these
maladies will practically disappear
from civilized communities, as indeed
may almost be said at the present
time Of smallpox. But earnest and
faithful work by medical men and
cheerful cooperation by the public are
necessary to attain that end.
1t Is better to prevent germs from
breeding and multiplying than to de-
stroy them; also 1t is better to be
germ proof yourself than to rely over
much on expensive methods Of destroy
ing them. 1t is fortunate that fresh
air and sunlight are health giving in
fiuences for humanity and death deal
ing influences for germs. Darkness,
'dampness, dissipation and dirt all IA
vor the growth of bacteria and also
lower the resistance of the human
body to their action.
Influence of Flies, Mosquitoes, Etc.
1t was formerly supposed that flies
were useful scavengers and harmful
only from the annoyance they caused
buzzing around ones ears. The great
discovery has been made that. like
many other destructive agents we have
entertained in our homes for thousands
of years, the housefly Is a hereditary
enemy. He does not wipe his feet be-
fore entering the house, but often uses
our food as doormat. He keeps bad
company, breeds in filth, manure,
moldy paper. garbage. anything that
rots. and typhoid fever germs are his
speciality.
