mistaken view prevalent in many
farmers homes is that flies are a nee
essary evil which is confined to few
summer months, or that they are an
altogether harmless nuisance. The fact
is that where flies have access to i'm
puTities of any sort, they may carry
deadly germs, which they deposit in
crawling over food In kitchen, pantry
or dining room. In an article prepar'
ed for the Country Gentleman and now
reprinted in pamphlet form by the au
thor, William Paul Gerhard writes on
flies and mosquitoes as carriers OF dis
ease and on what farmers can. do to
assist in the campaign against them.
Both typhoid fever and malaria,
though occurring to some extent in
cities, are considered to be chiefly
country or FARM diseases, and flies
may be the indirect cause of typhoid
fever and mosquitoes of malariaI
fever. While both flies and mosquitoes
are bad enough at certain times in the
city, they constitute in agricultural dis
tricts a yeritable pest, source of an
noyance to horses, cattle and men, a
cause of physical discomfort, and nui-
sance by which health may become ser
iously affected.
In cities the rapidly increasing use
of motor vehicles and the correspond
ing reduction in the number of stable
pits reduces the fly nuisance.
The Anticipated and most primitive
methods of waste disposal still exist
ing on many farms offer favorable con-
ditions for the breeding and rapid null
duplication of flies. The determination
of flies can be brought about chiefly by
a dlligent attention to proper dis
posal of waste matter and by the main
tenance of scrupulous cleanliness.
Horse stables, COW barns, all out
buildings should have constant care

SHARP PRACTICE
BY BROKERS HIT
Dealers on Chicago Board of Trade
Must Not Market Grain Else
where at Cut Price.

Chicago, H., May 20.-Directors of
the board of trade have passed resolu-
tons forbidding the practice of
certain grain dealers of marketing,
in other cities, grain held in elevat-
ors here at lower prices than the
relative price obtainable on the board
of trade here.
The resolution was aimed at the
dealers who now are closing up a
deal in May option and followed the
action Of Tuesday ordering an inves-
,tigat1on into the May deal.
Conservative estimates placed the
amount the dealers went "long " in
May wheat at 100000 bushels,
all bought in the pit. Since May 1
the shorts" were able to deliver
only about 100000 bushels and
the "shorts" were compelled to set
tie in cash for the remaining II ,O0O,-
900 bushels.
The operation, which the directors
seek to prevent, is the sale of the

SENSE OF DANGER.

Developed 20 q Marked Degree In Men
Who Work In Mines.
There Is something about mines that
appeals to the superstitions Of man
kind, writes T. Lane Carter In the
Mining and Scientific Press. One of
the most marked effects he has noticed
in men who have spent most Of their
Life in mining Is a sense of danger that
suddenly comes over them.
Some would call this faculty the
sixth sense" he writes. "If you asked
a miner how he knows there is some
thing wrong he win reply that he feels
It 1 had q remarkable illustration Of
this a few years ago.
IT was walking along a main drift
with a mine captain, man who had
been working in mines for over forty
years, having started as a lad In the
mines Of Cornwall. Suddenly he
stopped and exclaimed that something
was wrong.
For the life Of me 1 could not see
a thing amiss The timbers seemed
solid, and the drive pillars looked Sc
cure. But the captain was not salts
fed and insisted on climbing into the
stope to investigate. There he found
large crack. running for hundreds Of
feet, indicating a movement Of the
strata of serious proportions.
Had this discovery not been made
in time there would have been a seri
GUS accident in the mine, with a prob
able loss of life. l dare say the years
of experience in the mine had develop
ed a power in him which the men
called superstition, but which was real
ly the faculty of accurate observation,
which to him seemed unconscious"

Chapman Case Dismissed.-The case
against Dr. w. d. Chapman, retiring
health officer in the village Of Sill
Wis. was dismissed in the justice
court of ]. L. Crowder. DR.. Chap
man was held on a charge preferred
by DR.. A c. Hansen, who under the
Crawford administration succeeds
Chapman as head of the health de-
partment When the case was called
it was dismissed without prosecu-
ton. The charge was one of resist
ing a health officer DR.. Chapman,
on the 18th, insisted on taking
charge of a case of smallpox that
had developed in the village. DR..
Hansen called at the quarantined
house in his capacity as health Of
ficer-to-be and was refused entrance.
The entire charge, it seems grew out
of a Question of the date on which
Chapman should retire and Hansen
take hold DR.. Chapman's term of
office did not expire till the 18th and
therefore he insisted on directing
the work of the office in that partic-
ular and all other cases. That DR..
Chapman was right in his contention
that he had authority as health Of
ficer till the 18th is made clear in
action of the court in dismissing the
case. DR.. Chapman says that the
board of health was kept posted on
just what action he took in the
smallpox case at Silvis at all times;
that, though a guard was not set, a
complete quarantine was established
within 80 minutes from the time of
notification. The state law does not
prescribe any special method of .po-
Icing a quarantine. In case of 4

MACCABEES MUSTBOOST
RATES.
Michigan Order Must Get in Line
With Others Organized
Years AGO.

The popular Michigan fraternal in
surance order, the Knights of Modern
Maccabees, finds itself in the same
position that similar institutions have
found heretofore, that its rates based on
false expectations of "A quarter OF a
century ago, are not sufficient to carry
OH the good work of the order.
George =. Iovelace, Great Command
er of the order, lately gave a specific
instance showing the necessity for call
ing a convention in September To re-
adjust rates: "Major n. : Boynton
was member of this society from the
beginning" he said, land during all
this time he paid only $35OOO for pro
lection The society paid him $SoO.oo
while he was alive and incapaciated;
after his death we paid $l,2O0O0, a
total of $2,O00.0O. The question came
directly home to MS; who is going Ia
pay the difference and how long can a
business like this be carried on?
1t has been evident TO all acquainted
with the circumstances that Il raise IN
rates must come, but action has been
deferred until the state legislatures
have acted and compelled all insurance
societies to charge rates which long eX-
perience has shown to be adequate fol
the self preservation of the life OF the
societies.
The special convention to consider
the proposition will be held in Fort
Huron September Eek.
