House.Flies and Disease.

The house.fiy stands convicted as
a disseminator of disease and a car
rier of contagion. Ever since the
Investigation Of the spread OF ty-
phoid fever inYth United eezses
military during the spanish-Ameri-
can war of 1898, the evidence has
been accumulating, until today there
is mo escape from the charges
against the tantalizing insect. Ey-
! cry far-reaching probe into sanitary
problems is liable to disclose con
dItions hitherto quite unsupported;
land the indictments already brought
against the house-fiy during the last
few years charge responsibility for
a long category of infections, in
lcluding cholera and various forms
of dysentery, diphtheria, erysipelas,
contagious opthalmia, cerebrospinal
contagious opthalmia, cerebro spinal
smallpox, in addition to typhoid
fever.
Whether all these charges will
stand in the light of scientific inves-
tigation remains to be seen. 1T is
Important, not!so much in justice to
the accused insect as because OF the
IIhygenic and preventive measures
which are dependent thereon, that
the questions here raised be author
litstiEely settled In the case Of ty-
phoid, the evidence appears to be
complete.
| DR.. Torrey, of the LOOMS Labor
atory; OF New York, has attempted
to supply facts on this question. He
has examined the fiies caught in
the densely populated parts of New
York City during a number OF
months. Both the bacteria occur
ling in the intestine and those from
the surface of the insects were In
l yestigated. The flies examined in
April and early in June were com
paratively free from dangerous
bacteria. AS the summer season au'
vanced high bacterial counts began
to appear and also an abrupt change
in the character of the bacteria. The
record counts came at the end of the
two weeks OF excessive heat in July

Instead of money getting out OF

MYSTERY IN DEATH
OF SOUTHERN GIRL
Alleged Murderers of Myrtle
Hawkins Face Court In
North Carolina.

HENDERSONvILLE N. c., May a.
Preparations are being made for the
trial of the defendants in the Myrtle
Hawkins murder case at the May
term of the Henderson county supe-
rior court, which is about to convene.
The trial Is expected to solve a mys-
terry that has puzzled the authorities
and public Of this entire section ever
since the body of pretty seventeen
year-old Mrytle Hawkins was found
floating in Lake Osceola last Septem-
ber.
The principal defendants in the case
are Abner Mccall, his wife, Beatrice
Mccall, and George Bradley, each of
whom is under indictment on a charge
of murder. In addition, "Boney''
Bradley, a brother of George Bradley,
10 charged with being an accessory
before the fact, and Dan Mccall,
father of Mrs. Mccall. is charged with
being an accessory after the fact.

Europe Leads in
Fighting Consumption

Specialists in Europe have been fisht-
ing Consumption during the last few
years with remarkable success by using
a Swiss preparation called Sirolln.
This 10 OF great interest to sufferers
In this country. because Sirolin has
been imported lately In great quantities
and is sure to become as valuable In

Siroiin, although very powerful in at
tacking the tubercle bacilli, contains no
harmful or habit-forming drugs. II

lula Murdock Praises Production
OF "Green Stockings" at the Columbia

A prominent weekly has been printing
q series of interesting articles on the
inevitability of the detection of crime,
but in A. z. w. Mason's bubbling COM
edy, "Green Stockings" played by the
Columbia Stock Company this week, the
danger OF even trying TO murder a
"man who is not" is ell too clearly
shown. 1t Is the custom In England
for the remaining unmarried daughter
of the house to wear pair Of green
stockings at the wedding OF her sister.
This Is an indication that she is willing
to be separated from her home, should
the right man happen along Two times
poor oldest sister Cecilia Faradny,
played by Miss Nelson, has donned the
hose of verdant hue at the marriage Of
two Of her sisters, and at the an
nouncement of the engagement OF her
third sister her soul rises In revolt. and
she Is determined to have a fiance, II
she is compelled to invent him for the
occasion.
The circumstances surrounding the
entire of a lover, give rise to series
Of complications and situations. which,
as a spinster, she has been unable to
foresee, but which she meets with the
the adroitness Of an old stager.
Cecilia Is Equal
to the Emergency.
Even though inexperienced. the mere
fact that she is a woman, seems to arm
Cecilia Faraday with the proper wea-
pons with which to conduct her cam
paign. An almost traditional under
standing in Cecelia's family, and among
her friends, is that she is unattractive
to the opposite sex and unable to en-
snare them This very probe and chai-
lense to her womanhood was the goad
which fina lily gave her the courage to
take the step which she did, in Invent
ing" Colonel Smith, D. 8. o., Of her
majesty's army.
