DISEASE GERMS

Credit of having aroused the interest of
the entire country in the Importance of
eradicating the fly is given to The Even
ing Star and the boys and girls of Wash
ington who have participated In The
Stars various anti-fy crusades. This
statement was made by DR.. w. A. Evans,
former commissioner of health of Chi
cago. ILL.,
DR.. Evans came to Washington for the
oral hygiene meeting arranged by the
District Dental Society. the National
Dental Association and the National
Mouth Hygiene Association. He yester-
day called upon District Health Officer
William C. Woodward in the municipal
building. and was shown the charts re-
Gently prepared depicting the results of
The Stars all-summer fly war.
There were one or two cities that or
ganized fy-fghting campaigns about the
time that The Stars crusade was launch
ed last SUMNER said Dr. Evans, but
no municipality has taken up the move
ment so thoroughly and with as much
vim as has Washington, and credit al
most universally is given to the National
Capital for having started this important
work

Commends Star Prize System.

According to DIR. Evans, the prizes of
fered by The Star to the children COM
peting in the campaign are of greater
value than those offered in other cities,
while the district prize arrangement pre-
Sents opportunities to larger number of
contestants to obtain reward for meri-
torious work The Stars prizes this year
amount to nearly $500 in cash.
Finishing touches yesterday We're put
on the fly campaign exhibit prepared by
DIR. Arthur L. Murray of the health de-
partment. supervisor of the campaign.
The exhibits will be part of large dis
play of health department charts, also
prepared by Dr. Murray, which are to be
displayed at the International Congress
on Hygiene and Demography.
One of the interesting fly charts was
prepared by fastening miniature barrels
on large piece OF paste board to indi-
cate the number of flies slaughtered each
month. The chart shows that one-third
of barrel of flies constituted the May
record; two barrels the June record !;
seven and three-quarters barrels the July
record, and nearly four and one-half bar
rels the August record.
Other charts show the enormous re-
productive capacity of the fly and the
regulations for the conduct OF the cam
palgn.

Result of Investigation.

As medical editor Of the Chicago Tri-
bune. DIR. Evans has written a number
of articles on f1y-fghting campaigns,
based on an elaborate investigation of
what cities have accomplished in this re-
spect. The number of cities and towns
that have taken up organized warfare
on the fly will amount into thousands, he
states
DR.. Evans is of the opinion that it is not
the actual slaughter of flies that counts,
but the educational benefits resulting
from the campaigns, such as determine
ton ON the part of citizens and munich
pal authorities to eliminate insanitary
conditions that serve as the breeding
places of flies.
In this connection he stated that The
Stars two-week cleanup campaimn last
spring, Immediately preceding the begin
ming of the fly war. undoubtedly accom-
plished much toward checking the devel-
opment of the insects and that all cities
that start out TO abolish the pest should
give principal attention to the question of
eradicating the breeding places.

An old lady, possessed Of $500, 0O0

The New Order of THINGS
BY Beatrice Fatt7ux
n NEW YORK woman has formed !
n among working girls the "Spug," |

n NEW YORK woman has formed
n among working girls the "Spug,
a society for the prevention of
useless giving at Christmas. Undoubt-
edly the society will accomplish some
good in curbing those who are spend
thrifts when under the influence of the
Christmas spirit
But the fact that such society has
been organized, and that it was needed,
should make young girls and older
women stop and think for themselves.
Has 1t come to the time when no
woman can exert her own natural God =
given common sense without first join
ing a club organized for the purpose of
sanctioning such action?
Are these the days when a woman
can not Of her own will power take up
some good study and pursue it; master
the art of cooking; become a little
more economical; or smile when she is
depressed, without first joining club
that mothers such a movement?
win the day finally come when none
Of us will be brave because we are not
members of a fear not club?
Is the day here when a woman will
not hang a picture on the wall till she
has first Joined make home beautiful
club and been told that pretty pictures
are given for just that purpose?
Every one should be a "Spug," If
necessary. but how much there Is to be
admired in the girl or common grown
up who conducts her little or great
finances in such a common sense way
that membership in such an order has
never been necessary for heri
Christmases come and Christmases
go, and every Christmas there is abuse
Of the one who spends foolshly and
recklessly. And every Christmas there
is more contempt for the Old Scrooges
of life. These two extremes attract such
monopoly Of attention that there Ia
little heed given the great. big army Of
Christmas shoppers who buy In a spirit
Of sanity.
They remember the needs OF their
friends, and they remember, also. the
limits OF their purses They put
thought in their gifts, and love, and
give not for effect or display.
They make no gifts hoping for re-
turns. and this hottest Of all seasons is
not degraded by them with any faint of
barter and trade
They remember the children first of
many centuries ago, there has been
remembering of the homeless waits on
this day that has steadily grown.

FROZEN FODDER INJURIOUS
SiIage Feed Gives Burnt Flavor to
Butter in University Exhibits
Also Poisonous to Cattle.

Madison.-The feeding of frozen
silage to dairy cows resulted in the
butter having a burnt flavor when it
was scored in the March exhibit at
the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin.
Some of the buttermakers said
that the butter was made from cream
secured from farmers who were
feeding their COWS damaged silage
and damaged shredded fodder In
some cases the fodder was shredded
last fall while it was wet and dur
ing the winter it had nodded, and
in some cases was so badly spoiled
that it was black
Frozen silage and spoiled fodder
are not only bad from the point of
view of buttermaking, but, as the
university authorities pointed out
some time ago, such feeds often pois-
on cattle.
