Insects Getting Scarce.

The children are carrying the fly

ing reports are reaching the health
office to the effect that the insects
are becoming more scarce in many sec
tions of the city" said DR.. Murray to-
day. II am convinced that the time is
approaching when we will be able to
figure on the tangible results of the
local crusades against the fly and es-
innate the benefits the city has re-
ceived through improved health condi-
tions"
Washington householders are urged
by DR.. Murray to exercise every care
in keeping garbage cans covered. The

to the dining table, but if the recep-
tacles for the temporary storage of
waste foods are closed the principal

to turn in to DIR. Murray about an aver

sistency. in all probability, will place him
among the prize winners at the end Of
the month.

Mark Trice has been establishing a
record for consistent work similar to that

plan Of delivering flies only about two or
three times a week. but whenever he ap-

entered to his credit, and these immense

about Is feet away. The youngest boy
was killed instantly and the elder

Several cars of Salina hunters had
gone to the Mcpherson basin last Fri
day to hunt ducks and the Bower auto
had been left at the Goodsheller farm
where Mrs. Arnold and her children
were. living with her parents, the
Goodshellers. Friday evening when
the hunters were returning to the car
the two little boys went out to the
car as the doctor and a companion
approached. The doctor carried re-
peating shotgun and before reaching
the car had elected the shells of the
gun. He found that one had lodged
in the mechanism and in trying to
eject It the trigger must have been
accidentally pulled. The boys were
standing about Is feet away, just far
enough for the shot to scatter and for
them. to get the full effect of the load.
The doctor was prostrated by the
accident and did everything possible
