Niuton, who was born in Burma and

proper infection and presents his story
IN clear and interesting statements.
The pictures were magnificent, being
some that he took and the slides were
made by himself and wife.
Poor health required that he leave

HORSE FAMOUS IN HISTORY.
Tho Remarkable Story of VeiiIantiff,
the Steed Roland Rode

From the ninth century the horse
began figuring prominently in history.
and the many signs of intelligence he
displayed have been chronicled in ro-
mances, in odes, and in many other
historical writings
1t was in this century that the. first
allusion to horse racing, as we under
stand it. and to running horses as
race horses continued to be called for
many centuries afterward. is TO be
found in history, when Hugh, the
founder of the royal house of Caput in
France, made a present of running
horses to King Athelstan in the hope
that in return the king might allow
him to wed his sister. Ethelswitha.
At this period -Hengist and Horsa
are said by some historians to have
displayed interest in horse racing but
the statement is not based upon in
disputable evidence and more than the
assertion that, because Heneist and
Horsa are alleged by one historian ut
least to have given the order that
forms of horses should be cut upon the
chalk hills of Berkshire, therefore the
Saxon banners must have borne as
device Il white horse.
The white horse at Vantage other
historians declare to have been cut in
commemoration of Alfred's great vic
tory over the Danes at the battle of
Aescendun or Ashtreehill during the
reign of his brother, Ethelred 1. Its
length is 374 feet, and even at dis
lance of nearly fifteen miles it is dis
tinctly visible in clear weather
1t was about this period. says the
Detroit Free Press, that the immortal
Roland and his equally famous horse,
Veillantiff, are mentioned in history
though owing to the pair having fig
ured so largely in romance the actual
truth about them can be traced only
with difficulty.
Roland Is said to have been eight
feet tall. and all descriptions of Veil
lantif show him to have been of pow
erful proportions, which would be re-
quired to carry such Il heavy burden.
Roland's horse must have been an in
comparable charger and more intelli-
gent than even his master, for it is re-
lated that whenever Roland was hard
pressed Veillantiff obtained knowledge
of the fact in some mysterious way
and at once carried Roland out of dan
ger as far as he was able.

taken by Edward Hatch, Jr., head of
the fly fighting committee of the Amer
lean Civic association. With tireless en-
erSy since his first discoveries in New
York over six years ago he has been
a fly ''swatter' advocate. DIR. Woods
Hutchinson, who is interested i'll the
question in connection with the Amer
lean Civic association, is of the opin-
ion that no longer can we dismiss the
ny with a contemptuous 'shoo;' that it
is an influence to be reckoned with as
it distributes samples of pestilence
with a lavish hand, and the goods al
ways match the samples, whether you
have ordered them or not, and are

and as diSgraceful as a bedbqg. The
time will come when any modern
cleanly home will feel itself shamed

Of the most dangerous means of the IS
spread of disease.
1t has been felt for a long time by
scientists and sanitary engineers that
they had a persistent and dangerous
enemy in the fiy-that If the spread of
typhoid fever was to be checked the
fly first must be put out of the way.
Not only typhoid, though, is traced to
the fly, but highly dangerous mites

rectly home to it. Germs of tubercu
losis, cholera infantum, spinal menin-
gifts and infantile paralysis also are
carried by the little pest.
The warnings these scientists and
engineers have been circulating among
the people of the world have at last
borne fruit, in the United States at
least, for today there is a mighty eff
fort at determination. municipalities
and individuals are spending thou
sands of dollars to kill off the fly. Fa-

universal determination is his cry,
and trapping and poisoning are added
to his methods of vengeance.

School children in some places have
been enlisted in the cause and essays
and readings about the fly given out

traps in different parts of the city. The
examination of the legs of the captured
flies for disease germs was an easy
matter. The city's health statistics
also were examined. and it was ascer-
tanned that a fearful mortality from
typhoid fever prevailed within the
neighborhood in juxtapositiOn 10 the
garbage docks. When this fact was
discovered no time was lost in ac-
Quainting the public of the fact and
methods We're taken to improve condi-

In other places it was soon seen that

due to the fly.
An ingenious method for teaching
children facts regarding flies is pre-
pared by lean Dawson of the Cleve-
land Normal school. who has adopted
the question and answer plan of in
struction- After explaining why flies
are dangerous. how they. spread dis
ease. where they spend the winter and
what they dc in spring. he tells about
their breeding. their food and how they
carry dirt as well as disease.
Some OF the questions and answers
are as follows:
Can a family escape the dangers from
flies by screening them out?
No, not if they use food over which
flies have swarmed or fallen into.
Do flies carry sickness and death to
many people in the United states?
There are nearly 100000 cases of ty-
phoid fever yearly in the United States
and nearly $4,000 deaths Many of these
are caused by flies. Forty-nine thou

THE TYPHOID FLY

The typhoid or hOusefy'' is the name
which through the agricultural depart
ment the United States government
has given this dangerous insect. Health
departments of North Dakota, AIichi-
gan and Virginia have prosecuted cam
paigns against the fly. Bulletins and
placards containing startling headlines
have been distributed throughout these
states On the roads or in the public
buildings one sees such warnings as
this: Files Poison Food 1t might he

at some time waged war against this

which have for their object obliteration
OF the disease breeding fly.
Some half dozen years ago the NIer-
chants association committee was
formed to investigate the pollution of
the waters of New York state Their
work brought the investigators to the

SET OF RULES FOR SUMMER
FLY CRUSADE.

, Keep the house free from flies.
/, Every fly should be considered
, 4 possible disease carrier and
should be destroyed.
, Keep the windows, especially
the kitchen windows, screened
during the fly season.
Protect children from exposure
to flies, particularly children
that are i'll, and do not allow
nursing bottles to be exposed to
the insects. Millions of germs
of summer complaint are trans
mitted by flies.
Protect milk and other food
stuffs from contact with the fly.
Keep the garbage covered
Abolish open drains near the
house.
; Stable manure should be sprin-
kled with lime and carefully
covered.
