ADD TO FLY SCORES

CONTEST ENDS TOMORROW
Boys and Girls Will Make Greatest
Effort Today in Killing Insects.
OPINION OF HEALTH EXPERTS
Members of Congress on Hygiene

Staying of Pests.
STANDING OF CONTESTANTS

Notwithstanding the rainy leather and
testants in The Stars anti-fy campaign
yesterday turned in to Dr. Murray 27S, 400
dead insects. As the contest closes to-
morrow the boys and girls will expend
their greatest energies today in killing
the last of the fly crop.
Dr. Murray will receive flies up to 1
o'clock tomorrow afternoon to be counted
in the score for this month. So far a
little more than four and half million
flies have been annihilated this month.
despite the fact that the contestants have
worked harder than ever before, which
goes to show that the incessant war OH
the flies has decreased the number
greatly.
Indorse Stars Crusade.
1t is impossible to figure the number of
cases of typhoid fever and other diseases
that have been averted and the number
of lives that probably have been saved by
The Stars campaign. The fifteenth In
ternational Congress on Hygiene and
Demography spent much of it's time in
discussing the dangers of the transmits
sion of disease germs by flies, and of
methods to eXterminate the pest.
These savants. coming from all parts of
the world. heartily Endorsed The Stars
campaign and expressed their opinion
that united efforts on the part of all ma
tions in DISCRIMINATING the fly would do
more to decrease the spread of disease
than endeavor along any other single
line.
Not only have the flies been killed by
the millions during the last summer. but
the breeding places have been exter-
minated. The danger of the fly being
impressed upon housewives by the pub
licity given the campaign has prompted
them to see that the garbage cans and
other breeding places of the insects are
maintained in sanitary condition.

I wish toreply to your West Wood stock correspondent about an article which appeared in your issue of Feb ruary 2d. Il would advise the author not to rely on breezes for accurate in- formation regarding what transpires in another part of the town, but to use means more in keeping with the times, for instance: the telephone, the wire less, or the aeroplane. The facts were that MT. Pratt did not speak on Char aeter Building, but upon his methods of instruction. c. H.

He gave an intensely earnest and interesting talk and has been in xited by several of the church people to give talk on the same subject at an evening meeting in the near future.
