HOUSE FLY DANGEROUS
THEY CARRY SICKNESS AND
DEATH INTO HOMES.
They Should All be Killed Now Be-
fore They Begin to Raise Big
Families.

Just as soon as the farmer finds
that some pest Is destroying OF dam
aging his crops he begins at once to
try some means of destroying that
pest. He makes this attempt because
he can see with his own eyes that his
crop will be cut short or even de-
stroyed if the destroyer is allowed to
go on unchecked.
When it comes to some danger,
the result of which cannot be seen,
We often let it alone, simply because
we cannot see the damage done. You
remember that for long time 1t
was not known that malaria Is con-
tracted only through the bite. Of a
certain kind of mosquito. When this
fact was established, then we began
to study about the mosquito, which
were malarial and which were harm
less, and the conditions under which
the malarial kind breed.
1t has been proved, also, that yel-
low fever is not contracted by con-
tact with yellow fever patients, neith-
er is it carried in clothing; but that
a mosquito which ? ds in yellow
fever regions cor it V it's bite.
The danger IL cor mon house
fly to mankind 5 ,pected un-
til about twenty ago. Later,
during the Spanish -, it was clear
~ shown that the cause Of the spread
of typhoid fever, which killed so
many of our men, was due to flies.
This insect is so active in the spread
of typhoid fever that it is often spok-
en- of as the typhoid fly.
The fly is responsible for diseases
which can be spread by the taking in
of germs with food or drink. Some
of these germs are dysentery, chol-
era, typhoid fever and tuberculosis.
During the civil war there was an
outbreak of gangrene among some of
the wounded in hospital. The ply
sicians used, as they thought, all pre-
cautions to prevent its spread, but
they were not effectual.
m recent years it is known that
this gangrene was spread by the flies,
they lighting upon the sore, getting
its poison upon their feet, then flying
to the wound of another patient,
here to deposit the germs from the
gangrenous patient.
The head of a fly is covered with
stiff bristles like head Of ripened
wheat; the foot ends in a pair of
pinchers, the mouth and head being
rough. When you push a stif-br's-
tied broow in a pile of refuse and
then lift it, some Of the dirt comes
too. That is just the way the fly
does; when it leaves the refuse some
filth sticks to it's body. Set the broom
down and the dirt shakes off. Just
so with the fly, when it walks about
a trail Of filth is left behind.
Perhaps some one in your vicinity
has typhoid fever or some intestinal
trouble. The patients excreta is not
properly disinfected. Flies visit
discharges, get the germs on their
bodies, fly se once to your kitchen or
dining room, crawl over your food or
fall in the milk, leaving behind them
the germ of disease. Then you VOL
der how the disease was contracted.

That School Election

The women of Bemidji will be given
an opportunity to exercise their suf-
frage rights at the school directors
election next Saturday evening. Be-
tween the hours Of seven and eight
o'clock the polls will be open at the
Central building for the purpose of
electing three directors to the Benz
idji school board. The terms of X. X.
Roe, merchant, Edward Jackson con-
tractor, and M. J. Brown attorney will
then expire. These men have again
been urged to serve the people in this
capacity. They have been thoroughly
tried and not found wanting. Bemidji
knows that in them it has men who
may be depended upon. They have
won the admiration and confidence of
the public by the faithful performance
of their duty. Naturally it becomes
the duty of the people to see to it that
they are returned to their respective
posts. This should be done in a most
fitting and appreciative manner. The
least our citizens can do is to give
them a hearty endorsement. Our men
and women should turn out enmasse
and support these deserving men at
the polls. An appreciation of this ma
ture begets their confidence and
makes them better and even more
willing servants. We demonstrated
our spirit along school lines last
Tuesday and should continue it until
the school election is over with next
Saturday.

Long a favorite of Queen Eliza
beth, later the occupant of dung
con in the Tower of London, and
finally suffering death at the hands
of the executioner-this was the lot
of Sir Walter Raleigh, poet. cour-
tier, soldier, colonizer, one of the
explorers of America. Born in Dew
onshire in 1852 of an old family,
young Raleigh for time studied at
Oxford, and later lived in the Temple,
one Of the great law schools of Lon
don. He then took part in several
expeditions of discovery in which he
lost money. He went to court in the
train of the Earl of Leicester, and it
was at this time that he is said to
have thrown his cloak on the
ground to let Queen Elizabeth walk
upon it over a puddle. He rose into
great favor with the queen, and re-
ceived many gifts and privileges
from her, being knighted in 1884. 1t
is said that he first introduced the
growing of tobacco and the potato
into Ireland.
Raleigh made many attempts at
colonization in America In 1884 he
sent his captain to Florida and as
far north as North Carolina. Raj
eigh named all the land thereabout
Virginia in honor of Elizabeth, the
virgin queen. In 1885 his colonists
under Sir Richard Granville, made a
settlement on Roanoke Island; but
they deserted when Sir Francis
Drake appeared there the following
year. Other fruitless attempts were
made in 1886 and 1887. The second
colony was found massacred by the
Indians. When the place was again
visited in 1890, the third has dis
appeared absolutely without leaving
a trace. The only message were the
words "To Croatan" cut in the bark
Of a birch tree. Croatan was an In

The Vote Was Overwhelmingly In FdvGr
OF II.

Washington, Feb. 8.-By vote Of
24O to 65 the.house late today passed
the Webb bill to restrict shipment
into dry territory OF intoxicating
liquors in violation of the laws of
any state or municipality. Seven
hours of spirited debate preceded
the passage Of the bill. which was
drawn up under special rule re-
ported by the rules COMMITTEES.
The Webb bill is designated to in
crease the restriction of the states
over liquor shipments crossing their
borders and to direct such shipment
of an interstate character when this
would conflict with state laws. The
bill carries no penalty 80 far as the
federal government Is concerned,
and the enforcement G: the law de-
pends largely upon the activities Of
the state officials in prohibition ter
ritory.
Each amendment to the bill was
voted down. The prohibition forces
in the house were fearing to encum-
Der the measure with amendments
as it might become into the senate,
or in conference, and thus oppose
the principal Of the bill, voted
against 81 amendments.
Especially bitter debate occurred
before the adoption of the special
rule, and Chairman Fitzgerald, Of
the house appropriations committee,
and Minority Leader Mann lectured
the democratic side Of the house for
wasting time en- special legislation,
instead cf considering the annual ap-
preparation bills, seven Of which are
left to pass the house before March

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER

Splendid Result.

If anyone should know the worth
of a medicine, it is the retail druggist
who sells it over his counter every
day in the week, and is III a position

satisfaction.
