She stopped to zee where 1T came from. and there was a dog dying Of thirst
The little girl stopped with her dpper to give him a drink. After the poor

Germs to BE Feared In the Horne.
In the first place, germs should not
be feared-a paradox, il you please.
Respect them, but do not fear them.
A. t4seund mind In a sound body Is
not an easy mark for germs. But
germs have power to fnjure those
whose resistance is temporarily low
cred by fatigue. exposure or disease
as well as the naturally feeble and
nonresistant.
The principal germ diseases hat we
scarlet fever. measles, diphtherfa,
whoeping cough, smallpox, cholera,
grip pneumonia. tuberculosis, dyson
tary. typhoid fever and malaria. No
doubt the time win 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 It 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
duences 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 s~cayengers and harmful
only from the annoyance they caused
buzxing around ones ears. The great
discovery has been made that, like
Eaany other destructive agents we have
