Other Precautionary Measures.

Other precautions suggested by the
Minnesota official and Endorsed by local
health authorities are the following:
do not build a stable near dwelling
house; arrange for prompt removal of
stable manure from your vicinity. keep
manure covered and In dark until re-
moved Keep your premises clean, as
free as possible from filth of all kinds.
slop water. garbage. refuse heaps. If
your neghoor allows such nuisances
upon his own premises. complain of him
to your board of health.
a safe and effective poison is made by
adding three teaspoonfuls of formalin to
pint of half milk and half water This
is particularly useful where flies do not
have access to other sources of moisture.
1t should be kept out of the reach of
children, and might be placed in Il Mason
fruit jar inverted in a shallow dish, and
so arranged as to feed the liquid into the
dish as fast as needed Or ii might he
poured into an open dish and placed near
the sink or wherever flies gather. Other
sources of moisture should be kept away
from them

Figures on Marriage.

The latest census figures show that out
of every 100 persons between til, AGES -
twenty and twenty-four III the citN there
are seventy-two single and twenty
married. while in the country there sre
sixty-two single and thirty-slx married
Out of every lM persons between the
ages of twenty-five and twenty -ninr IN
the city there are forty-four single and
tifty-fonr married. compared with
thirty-fire single and sixtA two married
in the country.
The figures show further that ont ~
every l@ persons between thu ages ~
thirty and thirty-fiye in the city. there
are twenty-seyen single and sixty mine
married. conn AIRED with twtnty-nn~
single and seventy-iive married in The
country. This means that on an aver
age there are ten less married persons
to the hundred in the city than IN the
country.
In so far as city conditions make mar
riage difficult the city may properly take
up the matter Of controlling the rents in
such way as to make marriages easier
consider methods of making other ar
engagements. so that family life may be-
gin at a reasonable age. German cities
have found il possible 10 regulate rents
in this way. The Importance - thls

Reform Scarcely Begun.
1T may take years before We can make
industriaiism and CITY life our servant in
stead of our master. We have made con
siderable progress along medical lines for
instance. but the reform which includes
such matters as family life has scarcely
begun.
THE healthy. efficient and capable stock
must he preserved. but the present gene
alton cannot be sighted. The city Is a
great selective agency. Ii selects not only
in the case of the children already born.
but practically decides who shaa be born.

determines how many shall be admitted

ed that environment has little - 10

More Children Among Poor.
The birth rate varies in the city ac-
cording to the social classes Births
decrease from poor To rich. Tn" infant
death rate. too. is Ligher in the city.
1t is difficult to draw a conclusion as
to the difference between physical and
mental traits in the city and country,
but the stature of city people is be-
lieved to be slightly less than that or
country people. Insanity is greater in
the cities, while feeble mindedness is
greater in the country.
THE effects of city life on vice are
certain. There is no question that the
habitual criminals live in the city for
the same reason that the bright young
men flock to the city-for better op-
portunities We must have more city

Only One Track Left.

Late Friday afternoon Cucaracha
slide again became active, and when
the movement ceased the cut had
been filled across to the siNty-seven-
foot level on the west side, leaving
but one through track in service. The
last movement was a repetition of the
others that are constantly occurring al
this point the pressure from above

material is removed at the bottom OF
the slide.
The whole slope is in motion, and
some cracks have developed farther

as is known, the rock buttress remains

Results Are Gratifying.

Satisfactory results are being obtained
in nearly every city where anti-hy cam
paigns are in progress In Washington
there has been noticeable falling off in
the size of the pest horde, n fact that is
almost daily commented upon In the re-
ports made by inspectors of the local
health department..
Methods of fighting the fly which
nave been followed in the National
Capital this summer are indorsed IN "a
bulletin just issued from the office of
the state entomologist Of Minnesota.
The local plan was inaugurated with
a cleanup campaign. Since then the
method mas consisted principally Of
bringing to the attention of citizens
by means Of educational posters, let
ters and newspaper articles sugges-
tons for fly eradication that have been
tried out with success in various cities.
In the early spring clean up all ref
use heaps. filth of all kinds manure
piles. garbage heaps. old cans. trash
OF every sort and abolish as far as
possible other places where flies may
nesota entomologist. Screens should
be used freely on all doors and win
dows. The prompt disposal of garbage
should be arranged for. and swill bar
rels and garbage cans should be tight
ly closed Use some form of fly tran
with the proper bait. and continuously :
place it where it will do the most
good.

Scientists Figure Expenditure
of Over $1OO,OOO,O 900 An
nuaIIy Due to Fly.
DEATH FOLLOWS IN WAKE
OF THE DISEASE-BREEDER
Methods of Exterminating the Pest
in Washington and Elsewhere
Prove Successful.

Figured out in money, to say moth
ing of the loss in human life, the cost
to the United States annually of sup
porting its fly population amounts to
$3.50 600. say government experts
who have been making study of the
results of the Serm-spreading activities
of the insects.
1t is estimated that the fly is re-
sponSible for expenditure of $50
100000 for the handling of tubercu-
losis cases attributable to germs
spread by the pests. while S70.0 900
represents the cost of typhoid fever
cases, originating in the same way.
AS a carrier of intestinal fever and
summer complaint diseases and a
transporting agency of dysentery the
fly, scientists say. must be charged
with an expenditure of $37,200,00 for
the care of these diseases.
The statistics and the realization that
thousands of human lives are being sacri-
feed annually because no method has
been devised for abolishing the fly explain
why health officials generally and the
health departments of practically every
municipality this summer are making
active efforts to arouse citizens to the
Importance of keeping the pests away
from their food supplies and places OF
habitatiOn
