TYPHOID GERM
 EXHIBIT FREE
Several Hundred Million tO Be Seen in Front of Post Office on
 Next Sunday
THEY ARE CAPTIVES

There will be free typhoid germ exhibit and demonstration in front Of the post office Sunday. The germs will be carefully locked and guarded and those who attend will not be exposed to attack by the capuves.
 The germs are already corralled and are being fattened and developed into robust typhoid disseminators II cannot be positively stated how many germs will be shown in the exhibit, Eut there probably will be twenty i've or thirty million, guessing roughly.
 The parent germs have been placed under cover and are being grown in q mixture in wAicb they thrive and are multiplying in q way that makes rabbits comparable with century plants.
 \ specially designed cabinet has been arranged for b. the city and county health authorities to show on these microscopic gigantics of the germ kingdom. The parent germs were taken from the foot of com mon house fly, caught at random. The fy was made to crawl through lab oratory mixture. where the germs were deposited just as the fly iu real life" deposits typhoid germs on the food that you eat that was not pro tected from flies.
 The mixture is composed of gelatine and beef jlice in which under ordIn- ary temperature (the warmer the better-for the geTm) the germs are multiplying. The germs grow in col Unies which may be easily seen with the naked e.. " "ucrustins the colonies with white p0wdeI or g8int The color of the mixture makes the germs easier seen than in milk or cream but the germs are just as much at home in milk an.i cream as they are in gelatine and beef juice
 The germs that will be shown Sun day were taken froE, the foot, sin gle foot. of a house fly, one whose past was not investigated and the germs On a ily's foot are only the ac- CidentaI accumulation. The main germ depository IS in the ny's mouth from which he drops his moisture on the luscious sugar lump in order D dissolve it so that he can eat it. The . germs that are left, of course. go into the coffee and the tea, on the straw berries, etc The fly doesn't miss the few germs that he leaves. He gives man some of his germs in exchanS ? for a few grains of the sugar loaf.
 The number of germs on a fy's foot ranges from 35O to six millions and the average is d million and a quarter for each fy.
 In the exhibit cabinet there also will be an enlarged photograph of a fly foot, the foot of the microscopic Collosus that every summer stamps out the lives of hundreds of thousands. The gelatinebeef juice delicacy will be boiled so as to kill all of the different kinds of germs .hat infest it already and when the fly is taken for a walk through the dewy lane of ry food it will be absolutely free of germ life, 90 whatever germ life ap- pears must Of necessity have been left there in passirg-exactly what happens when a fly goes fishing over the rim of a milk bottle or in the Cupid's bow alcove of baby's mout' The point which the health author ities desire to emphasize by giving the demonstration is that the house fy is the direct means of transport ing germs-not only typhoid germs, but others-from filth to food. The fly is neither solely herhiyorous, car
