Carrier of Disease.
"The common house fly is car
rier of tuberculosis and typhoid fever.
The stable fly bites, and is a carrier
of infantile paralysis. This has been
conclusively proven. To prevent its
presence its breeding places must be
removed. All decayed vegetable mat
ter should be taken care of.
"The old slogan was Swat the Fly.
That is all right in the early spring
but the effective way of Kidding our.
selves of them is. to do away with
their breeding places. Flies are
simply an advertisement of the filth
of the American people"
| DIR. G. C. Pratt followed Profess
sor. Shumway and said: "The price
of peace is eternal vigilance. When
we have no typhoid fever we should
be. careful that there are no flies
and when there is a case of typhoid
fever we should be more careful. In
the prevention of disease / would
suggest that there be different dis
posal of the garbage of Mankato
than is now made. Garbage should
be burned rather than dumped near
the city. We should work toward
, that.
Out Upon the Rats.
There is another pest though
which should have some considera
ttion. That is the rats. 1t is est
mated that in this country there is
rat to every person and that the
cost of their maintenance is one-hali
cent a day for each rat. We know
that rats are carriers of buboniC
plague and when we have bubonic
plague as near us as we have
we should do something to ex
terminate the rats. want to
emphasize, too, Mr.. Shumway's
reference to infantile paralysis
being carried around by barn flies
But this disease can be carried by
dust and by other people. The infec
ton passes through the membrane
of the nose and throat"

who commenced her work as Man
kato's visiting nurse July l. Miss
Just has been kept very busy dur
ing the past ten days and finds her
work very interesting. Speaking of
what she is doing, Miss Just said
today: Il knew something about the
conditions in the city through my
work in the hospital, so | was able
to start work right away. While
was at the hospital | often did work
among the sick poor people and so
had come to know many of them.
During the first week l made thir-

because of my personal knowledge of
the cases. and part of them were
brought to my attention by neigh

"The conditions in the homes

of the ordinary ways of caring for
the sick. In every place where

to return each day.
"One thing which makes my work
very interesting and makes it pleas

From Thursdays Daily.

Flies and Mosquitoes as Disease
Carriers was the subject discussed
at meeting held last night at the
public library. Professor C. R. Shum-
way gave the principal address of
the evening and told very concisely
and Interestingly of the various kinds
of mosquitoes, their life history and
their characteristics with regard to
disease. He laso spoke particularly
of ways and means of keeping mos,
quitoes from breeding.
Mosquitoes are water loving in
sects in some stage of their exist.
ence," he said, land they usually
breed in some low place where there
is stagnant water Their bodies are
so constructed that they take in air
through tubes which they send up
through the water Kerosene oil is
used very successfully in such places
The kerosene forms a surface over
the water which the tubes of the
mosquitoes cannot penetrate, and be
cause of a lack of air. they drown
1t is a better plan to drain the pools
but that is not always possible
Mosquitoes, however, are not car
.riers of as many diseases as are
flies.
Many Varieties of Flies.
There are many varieties of flies
The horse fly is a large species and
is very annoying to horses. These
flies are not the cause of great
economic loss. but they do cause dis
comfort to the horses. They breed
in weeds by the roadside. Then
there is the bot fly which lays its
eggs on the body of animals and
sometimes causes infection, Another
kind is the MARBLE fly which lays Its
eggs on animals in such a way that
they are taken into the body, form
ing cyst from which the fly es
.capes. 1t is estimated that these
flies cost the hide industry of this
country $5O,0OO,O0O a year. The
screw worm flies are not common
but the seriousness of their presence
makes it necessary that we guard
against them. They screw them
selves into the tissues of the nose

Wind Blows the Fire
Away From Big Mill
From Thursdays Daily.

The elevator connected with the
cleaning house of the Hubbard mill
ing company caught fire about noon,
today and the machinery inside the
building was damaged to the ex-
tent of $4,000 to $4,000 as near
as can be estimated at present. The
elevator is constructed of brick and
the cleaning house adjoining it is
covered with sheet metal, SO the
structural work of neither building
was damaged to any great extent
The damage was to the machinery
in the elevator, and it win take
some time to have it replaced. There
ing. Every available fireman in the
city was called out to help fight the
fire, and six or seven streams of
water were turned on the building
from all sides. The woeful lack of
pressure behind the water was felt
to great extent when the streams
were turned upon the upper stories,
as the force of the water would not
break the glass to let the water in.
The fremen threw stones from the
tops of neighbpring buildings and
broke the windows in order to let
the water through.
Origin Is UnkonWn.
The origin of the fire is not known
for certain, but it was thought by
some of the mill men that it was
caused by the overheating of some
of the bearings. 1t seems that the
fire started in the lower part of the
building, and Quilted the interior
clear to the top. The mill fire APP
.paratus played very important part
in extinguishing the fire, and had it
not been that the mill hands held
the fire In check with the hose
from the mill, the fire probably
would have spread to the cleaning
house and both buildings would have
gotten beyond control. The firemen
put up a valiant fight against the
hames, and in about half an hour
after it started they had been
checked, and were, under control
All efforts were combined at first to
keep the fire from spreading into
the cleaning house itself, and they
were very successful.
New Machinery Ordered.
George NJ Palmer, general mana
ger of the mill, watched the fire
from the east side, and gave orders
at once to have millwrights sent for
to begin tearing out the useless ma
chinery and putting in new appar-
atus. Machinery men will be here
tonight and begin work at once The
insurance company has been notified
to have an adjuster here tomorrow.
The building was covered by blan-
ket insurance.
Lost Lodge Charm.
F. E. Browder, assistant manager
of the mill, lost his Knights Temp
lar charm during the fire this noon,
and would be very grateful If the
finder would return it to him. It
was lost somewhere about the clean
ing house where the fire was.
Before the fire was at it's heighth,
the wind was blowing the smoke
and sparks toward the other build
ings of the mill, but a few minutes
later it veered about a quarter of the
way around the horizon and took
all the smoke all over the railroad
yards so that the mill proper was
not in danger.
The fire was subdued about $3.50
o'clock this afternoon. Once before
the firemen had il suuelched hut II
broke out again.

a cartwright, unable to read or write.
who loved music. His mother was a
cook. and Haydn always believed that
she was the finest woman that ever lived.
Because of his voice and his taste for
music, distant relative, schoolmaster.
and choir regent of Hainberg, offered to
take charge of ''Sepperl." as they called
the child. and train him. So, before he
was six. Haydn began his struggle with
the world. In his new home he got more
thrashings than food. and he was con-
tinually in trouble because of his fond
ness for mischief and practical jokes.
When he was eight years old he became
one of the choir boys of St. Stephens.
When he was sixteen his voice failed
and he was turned adrift. An acquain-
tance offered him lodging, and shared
his food with him. Then came years In
which he fought bitterly, just to live.

years he had among his retainers the i'm

Haydn had an excellent orchestra un-

In composition. Long before he realized
1t. his fame had spread all over Europe.
He was constantly urged to go abroad:
but he refused to leave his beloved
prince"
In 1I79 the theater at Esterhaz burned
down. and Prince Nicholas planned to go
to Paris. To hasten this and SO bring
about a much-nesded vacation for his
orchestra. Haydn composed In playful
spirit, the Farewell symphony-dur-
ing the playing of which the musicians
one by one blew out their candles, gath.
cred UP their Instruments. and left. When
only two Of the musicians remained, the
prince saw the point. II all go. we may
as well go too" he said. and Haydn had
his way.
Prince Nicholas died in 1890. At the
age of fitty-eight Haydn started on his
first visit to London. which brought him
many triumphs. He returned to Ger
many to be lionized. and wealth flowed
in upon him. He went back to London
and received even greater honors. OK
