KILLING OF FLIES
IS MUCH FAVORED
BY HEALTH OFFICE
Department Gives Instruc-
tions How to Stop Breed
erS of Disease.
Now is the time to swat the n.y."

Now is the time TO swat the n.y..
This is the advice of the Health De-
partmcnt. The cool weather this spring
has retarded somewhat the arrival of the
disease breeding insects, but II is ex-
pected a few warm days will greatly in
crease their number. Statistics compiled
by the department show that within a
few months fly may become the pro-
genitor of thousands of ancestors, SO the
obstruction of a single insect now will
accomplish more good results than
wholesale destruction later.
Househ olders are advised also by the
Health Department to keep their gar
bage cans covered, their windows
screened. and their premises in cleanly
conditions Flies breed In filth, and
their direct course is from the garbage
can to the dining table. II the cans are
kept covered, in the opinion of the
health officials, there will be fewer flies
and less work for the contagious disease
service.
The regulations regarding screening of
foods in markets and groceries. II was
announced today by the Health De-
psrtment, will be strictly enforced.

Figures Show.

WASHINGTON D. c.. Aug. 2S-
The percentage Of mulattoes among
the negro population of West vir-
ginia is increasing rapidly accord
ing to figures given out by the Cen
sus Bureau and is higher than the
percentage in the country at large.
Out of total of Salts negroes in
West Virginia in 1910 there were
2O,S79 mulattoes. The percentage
of mulattoes in 1910 was S2.5 COM
pared with 2Sy6 in 1880 and 241
in 1870. The Census Bureau in a
statement issued says: SIT may be
noted, however, that an increase in
the mulatto element does not nee
essarIly imply increasing intermix-
ture with the whites, since the chill
dren born of marriages between
blacks and mulattoes would be
