OF the lines, which were dragging on
the ground
II was not without considerable DIFF

leaned over one OF the horses. caught
the reins and stopped the team within
a block OF the busiest thoroughfare
seen in Canon City for several months.
A dozen men had made Intellectual at

OF their flight. but this man did not
hesitate a moment when he saw the
danger TO women and children in the
street He saw that prompt. heroic
action was necessary to prevent seri-

A Dangerous Animal.

Acting on the belief that the fly is
"the most dangerous wild animal on
earth, local anti. Tuberculosis societies,
women'S clubs and similar organiza.
tions in Michigan are engaging in an
autifv campaign. The State Associa.
ton is backing up the movement and
is sending out helpful literature on this
subject. In one bulletin the State AS
socatio1 gives the following reasons
for conducting this campaign: BE-
CAUSE
The house fly is an important factor
in the transmission of disease germs,
including typhoid, tuberculosis, chol-
era, dysentary and other germ diseases
The house fly is not mere nuisance
but positive enemy to life and health.
1t is economy from the standpoint of
health, wealth and comfort.
Flies are the badge of dirt and filth
present on your own or your neigh
boris premises.
1t is not difficult to greatly reduce the
number of flies or to exterminate the
fly.
If, we clean up all the unsanitary
places and keep them clean, we will
have no flies.
The average number of bacteria
which one fly may carry is estimated at
1850, 900.
Now is the time to begin the fight
before breeding begins.
The bulletin mentioned above con-
tains articles on the life history of the
fly, how it is dangerous, how to pre-
vent flies from breeding, how to kill flies,
gives model fly ordinance and other
interesting information. Copies may
be secured by writing to the Secretary
of the Association, Carol f. Walton,
