A philosopher once said, All the
knowledge we get in life that is really
worth while is knowledge of ma
lures ways of doings things" This
nav be a slight exaggeration, but it
certainly has practical bearing on
the subject of disease prevention, be-
cause it is from a scientific knowledge
Of natures ways of spreading dis
ease that has emerged the possibilities
of effective work in disease preven-
ton For instance, yellow fever was
once a scourage to the South, Staying
thousands of its people and closing its
avenues of commerce. This disease
is now all but negligible quantity in
health problems. This condition OF
affairs was brought about, first, by
the scientific demonstration of the
mosquito as the carrier of the disease
from man to man, and second, by a
concerted effort of health authorities
and lay people in mosquito distruc-
ton.
The house fly bears a relationship to
typhoid fever and dysentery similar 10

GEORGIA PEACHES ARE
NOW ON THE MARKET
First of Season Received In
Atlanta

Atlanta, May S.-The first Georgia
peaches of the present. season have
been received in Atlanta, and are OF
age well for the coming crop.
The first shipment has been some
what delayed by rains and bad
weather and arrived three or four
days behind that of last year. May
is the usual time. But in one record
year Atlanta received her first Geor-
gia peaches as early as April 22nd.
The wholesale prices prevailing in At
lanta now are from s. to Sc per crate.
1t is expected that the shipments. will
begin in earnest within a week or so.

and reared in filth, chiefly 600 per
cent? in stable manure. A period OF
about ten days is required for the fly
to hatch and become full grown. Their
multiplication is very rapid, in fact,
one female fly may have billions OF
] progeny in a season. Flies feed up
on filth, and their feet are construct
ed to carry loads of filth on them.
They can travel for some distance, in
! fact, they can remain in the air for
hours without apparent tire. The
stomach of the fly is delicate in that
germs can pass through the gastroin-
testinal tract of the fly and never be
injured Thousands of germs have been
isolated from one fly speck.
Hows shall the fly be attacked?
First, by destruction of their breed
ing places Without this fly extermin-
alton is impossible, becausce it is al
most impossible to kill the pests as
fact &C they breed. So, the screening
of manure pits and the cleaning out
of stables at regular intervals of
seven to ten days will mean the de-
struction of 80 per cent of the flies.
In rural communities each home must
wage its own war on the fly. In
J towns and cities it sould be munic-
! ipal work because one unsanltary
! home and surroundings might supply
the entire block with the pest and
render the efforts of all the rest fruit
less. however dilligent they may be.
This might be carried on in number
of ways. Firse, by anti-fy ordinances
dealing specifically with the breeding
| places. Second a method suggested
by Prof. Hodge of Clark University
which consists in offering prizes TO
, the school boys of a block for the
first fyless block.
Second. with other filth left exposed
a sufficient number of flies can still
be produced to be active in spreading
disease.
So. clean up back yards, screen or
cover garbage cans, screen closets to
prevent Matching flies there and to
prevent the entrance of flies after be-
ing hatched
Third, kill the living fly by swat
ting. trapping, poisoning and starv-
ing.
= All these methods have been en-
ployed. Swatting needs no explana-
ton. of course. Trapping. This
should be begun now, as one fly
caught now is equivalent to millions
caught in August An excellent trap
is one designed by Prof Hodge, and
can be secured at any hardware store.
A number should b placed at points
where flies congregate. Poisoning IS
a very effective method. A teaspoon
full of formaline to quarter-pint OF
water placed in a room will serve 10
kill all the flies, but this should be
placed out of the reach of children.
Starve the fly by keeping its food
screened. or especially by cleaning up
back yards Provide a screened garb-
age can and place all garbage or de-
caying vegetable or animal matter IN
the screened can.
T The above is but brief outline OF
the methods of attacking the fly. Most

nances, but the smaller towns or rur-

only by the hearty cooperation of all
these can the much desired end of fly
determination be accomplished.

An order has been issued by the
Postotiice Department to the effect
that carriers are not required to de-
liver mail at homes where vicious dogs
are permitted to run at large and that
persons keeping such dogs must call at
the postoifice for their mail.
1t is fact that there are vicious
dogs in the world, but whoever heard
OF a dog owner who would admit that
his dog was viciousp 1t has been no
uncommon thing in the past to read of
letter carriers and others being chew
ed up by dogs which lacked the inteli-
gence to discriminate between a lawful
mission and lawless invasion of their
owners premises. The customary as
surance that che won't bite" is not
very convincing when the attitude of
the dog gives one every reason 10 be-
lieve that he will bite if permitted to
get in reach OF the object of his dis
trust.
The departments order is lust and
proper, but no doubt there will be
some differences of opinion between
postmen and their constituents as to
the degree Of viciousness which ne
cessitates tying up the dog.

Socialism VS.. Solid Fact.

The Socialists have a presidential
ticket in the field and platform that
promises more than that Of any other
party. The Appeal to Reasan says
1.-TWO thousand dollars year and six.
hour working day is what Socialism Of
fers for your vote" That is a bid
which even the third-term party will
find it hard to beat. TO give each male
voter two thousand year, the annual
production OF wealth in this country
would have to be trebled.
Until the standard of efficiency, hon
esty and industry is raised, this country
and the world will have to get along
with much less than two thousand
year for every man. The man who is
worth 1t gets that sum now, but the
majority do not measure up to the two
thousand dollar standard. Socialists
say with perfect truth that the work
ers now carry the oilers on their backs;
but the burden that Expresses IS not
the comparatively few who have so
much money that they do not have to
work and choose to lead unproductivc
lives, it is the thousands who loaf and
drink and live of the earnings of others
who form the economic burden of the
day.
Socialists have never told how all
men are TO be induced or forced to
work honestly. The division of wealth
would accomplish nothing. The shrewd
and Industrious would soon have it all
again. The French Revolution proved
that. Every man might have two
thousand n year if we could eliminate
the oilers and save what is now vast
ed in trying TO make men honest and
in protecting the Industrious from
being cheated and robbed by those
who think the world owes them n liv-
ing without work The waste of time
and money that is caused by the neces-
sity for watching others is tremendous,
| and until it is eliminated the produc-
| ton Of wealth will not Increase three
| fold under present conditions. When
Socialism can bring about that mlen-
mum, we will all be Socialists New

Amid the turmoil of politics and re-
CARELESS of the claims of this or that
party as to it's particular theories being
necessary to the nations material adj
vancement, it may be well to bear in
mind the following facts:
|. The country is now producing pig
iron at the rate of about %, 900, 900 tons
year, with consumption exceeding
production. This is at the rate of about
100000 tons higher than the boom
year of 1906, and at the rate OF about
2,000,O COO tons higher than the produc-
ton of 1910, the record year of iron
output.
=. The cotton manufacturing inter-
ests of the country, which for several
years suffered from period of depres-
sion greater than this industry has had
for very many years, are now enjoying
great prosperity. Cotton mills in all
parts of the country are crowded with
work and making money
3. To the amazement of the cotton
trade of the world, crop OF 100000
bales has been rapidly absorbed at
steadily advancing prices.
g. Crop prospects Indicate that once
more the American farmers will before
the end of this year have produced
eight billion to nine billion of value.
5. The 100000 miles of railroad in
this country are, with few exceptions,
taxed almost to the limit of their abili-
ty to handle existing traffic. which will
rapidly increase as the crop moving
season approaches.
6. The 100000 people who dwell
beneath the Stars and Stripes in con-
tinental United States, the most active,
virle, energetic people on earth, are
steadily increasing the wealth OF the
country, are doing business at the
same old stands in the same old emerge
tic way, are developing the resources
of all sections, are building more and
better homes, more and more costley
hotels and Office buildings, more good
roads, making more municipal improve
ments and doing other things that ex-
press the boundless energy Of such n
people at work in such a country.

The typhoid fever death rate is be-
coming higher in the rural districts
than in the cities. Typhoid fever is
largely due to polluted water, and inn
provements in the water supply OF
cities and towns have greatly reduced
the risk of infection from this disease.
Much of the water used in the coun-
try comes from wells and many of
these wells are shallow and easily con-
taminated by seepage from the sur
face. Some valuable advice in regard
to the movements of water under the
earth's surface is contained in a bulle-
tin prepared by the United States Geo
logical Survey entitled underground
Waters for Farm Use" owing to the
demand for this publication third re-
print recently has been made. The
pamphlet directs attention to the dan
ger in wells that are located near
sources of pollution, such as barns,
stables and cesspools.
The mere fact that water looks good
and has no perceptible odor or taste
does not justify the assumption that it
is pure water. 1t may and frequently
does contain disease germs which can
be detected only by analysis There is
a general disposition to look upon rural
sections as healthtul and "the old oak
en- bucket" has been immortaliZed in
song and story, but ideal sanitary con
ditions do not exist on the farms any
more than they do in the congested
cities, else there would not be a rising
death rate from typhoid fever in the
country.
The purity of the water supply is of
the greatest Importance to the public
health. 1t is important alike TO the
city dweller and to the rural resident.
In cities the health boards and officials
are on guard in the interest Of the
public. In the country the farm resi-
dent must look out for himself and it
is undoubtedly true that there is not
that general concern in behalf Of a
pure water supply which should be
manifested in a matter of such vital
consequence.

The plan worked all right until it
came to pulling him up again. The
wife was a woman of strong physique
but she was not equal to the task OF
drawing hefty man out OF cistern
by means of an ordinary pillow line.
She was compelled to let him drop in
the water nc to his neck while she pro-
ceeded to scour Tie neighborhood for
assistance. With the aid of two husky
farm hands whom she finally sum
moned to the scene, she succeeded in
pulling him out of the cistern. He
was in n moist condition and in some
what irritated mood, but he brought
the chicken. Presumably it was cook
ed for the next meal and the family
serenity was restored.
In behalf OF suffering humanity OF
the masculine persuasion the TACT
should be impressed upon housewives
that there are other and better ways
of getting a chicken out of cistern
than by the method adopted by the
Carlisle county woman. 1t might be
well for writers on domestic science to
publish some recipes for the safe and
speedy rescue of dressed chickens from
wells and cisterns. Skillful angling
with grubhooks is suggested as very
good plan, but there are about 744
other ways, all of which would be an
Improvement on the dubious expedient
reported from Carlisle county. If that
sort of foolishness is not stopped some
honest farmer is going to be drowned.
