 Al the last meeting of the directors oi the Commercial club the matter was brought up by Dr. Miner, the county physician and a committee on health was appointed with especial reference 10 the fy and typhoid fey- CT, committee which will raise the necessary funds for the most com plete and aggressive campaign on the huzzing disease disseminator that this section Of the country has ever seen
 Who Runs May Read.
 Modern methods are to be intro duced in the coming crusade for cleanliness and health. The moving picture, steriopticon slides, the micro scope, the camera. pictures and other methods of ocular demonstration are
 
 tain although as yet plans have not been fully completed. IL Is can. paign of education that will be shown upon the streets. carried into every home in the packages of food fer the table, with the pay checks, brought forcefully to the grown up and the children in moving pictures shown publicly, in cabinets on street cor ners. The fly in all of it's ioathsome filth will he shown as it is.
 In addition 10 this mere sanitary conditions will be absolutely insisted upon by the health authoriteS. Gar. b2ge cans must bN covereG, manure heaps about stables must oe screened and filthy places cleaned out The breeding places of flies, always the most noisome and obnoxious, are 10 be made as few as possible. This is the meresJ outline of the plans that are contemplated.
 Typhoid Filthy Disease.
 Typhoid is a germ disease. Those germs are carried from the body ID its excrements whence they are car ried into water or into food The dis ease is only acquired through the germ having been taken into the sys- tenn through the mouth. Of all dis, seminators of the typhoid germ the fly, the common house fly is the most active. It crawls over the filth and onal and collects the germs on its furry feet and then lights on the nipple Of baby's bottle leaving death behind; thence 1t fits over to some delicacy upon the table or an un- screened shelf and leaves disease in it's every foot print. This Is to bc shown in the educational campaign that has been started in Blsbee and in which the Commercial club through the committee that has been ap- pointed will assist.
 Employ Moving Pictures.
 In Bisbee and in Lowell there are to be shown moving pictures that tell the story Of the fly. of its menace tU the world. Not only will there ba moving pictures but there will be steriopticon views of highly magnihed pictures. The lesson will be so plain that whoever sees must understand. On the streets are 10 be placed cab inets which will show how the fly ac- cumulates few germs and how those germs multiply in geometrical pro gression, how one fiy might be re- ,ponslble for the wipins out Of a pop ulation equal to thar Of Bisbee. mere is to be an illustrated campaign m the papers and by dodgers distributed from house to house. Posters are to be issued and these will be dlstr.b uted by the business firms of the citv wrapped up in all purchases that go into the homes. These will also be given out by the mining companies on nay days with the pay checks. Tn every possible way that can be de vised the menace Of the fly is to be taught. Thus Bisbee sets the eXall-
