MESA CAMP
SWATS FLIES
IS HEALTHY

George Asher, in charge of the con-
vict road gang in Mesa cuonty, stated
yesterday to the Pueblo Star-Journal
that the swat-the-fiy campaign in the
convict camps this season had dem
onstrated conclusively that the
health of the camps can be greatly
improved by keeping them free from
flies.
At Asher's camp eight men are US
ed as a camp force and their princi-
pal work, or the task which is set
above all others, is to keep the camp
free from flies. The tents and cook
tents are screened and every tent is
provided with swatters which are be-
ing given away in the campaign
which this paper is waging against
the fly pest.
The first task of the morning with
the force of eight men who stay at
camp and look after the mess tent.
is to kill every fly in camp. After
the road force has left for the work,
the camp force, following the break
fast, has another fight with the flies
and every fly about the camp is again
slaughtered There is another fight
between the camp force and the
flies in the afternoon of each day
and the result Is that flies are kept
away from the camp.
The men have learned the value of
the work of ridding camp of flies and
the health of the road camp is re-
markable. There has not been a case
of typhoid fever or other germ di-
sease during the summer months.
and in past seasons when the flies
were not kept entirely away from
camp sickness was prevalent
through the summer.

DADE COUNTY Is HOT AFTER
GOOD ROADS APPROPRIATION
CITIZENS OF COUNTY IN SOUTH
PART OF STATE TO PRESENT
FACTS TO THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 1S-With facts
that cannot be controverted and
with a condition of affairs that no
other county in the state can equal.
Dade county strongly hopes to be
able to land that $4,000 post road
appropriation the United States gov
eminent has for expenditure in the
state of Florida.
Among the facts which will be
laid before the postmaster general
will be that Dade county has al
ready expended over 100000 in
road building and has within the last
few months voted bonds for $500, 900
for more roads, the belief being that
the government would rather put
its money in the county where there
is something doing than in a com
munity where the people care not
for good roads.
The postoffice department states
explicitly that one of the reasons
for the building of short stretches
of post roads in the various states
is to ascertain whether or not good
roads will increase the population in
the vicinity of these roads. Dade
county has good roads and the popu-
lation in the past % years has in
creased from 500 to 1000. The gov
eminent census of Dade county in
1890. was SOL, in 1900 it was 1886.
in 1910 it was 1888. The estimat-
ed population today is 1900. Dur

tuberculosis Day In October.

Churches and religious societies, to
the number Of at least 100000, Will
be urged to give special attention to
the prevention of tuberculosis on Sun
day, October 81, or on some day dur

following that date. This season has
been set apart and designated as the
Third National tuberculosis Day by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis,
tuberculosis Day was originally set
on April %, but was postponed be-
cause of a conflict with Conservation
Sunday Of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, which was held on
that date. The observance Of Tuber'
culosis Day in the fall this year will
be utilized by anti-tuberculosis work
ers not only for the general education
of church-goers on consumption, but
also for the purpose Of interesting

The roosts should be sprinkled once

Paint nest boxes about every ten

clean. Use plenty Of good whitewash.
Give plenty of pure, fresh water fire.

porcelain, granite or earthenware
vessels and keep them clean by scald-
ing out at least twice a week. This
is a very important item and should
be looked after.
A few drops Of kerosene or carbolic
acid in water once a week is good
and helps keep of diseases. Dust the
birds frequently with good insect
powder. You must keep your eye on
the birds through the hot weather
and see that everything is kept scrup-
ulously clean. It will take but a 1T
tie time each day, but don't get in the
habit of attending to things today
and leaving of tomorrow. You can't
