HER HOME BURNED
Mrs. Josie Jones Meets With Sad
Misfortune

A sad misfortune befell Mrs.
Josie Jones at noon last Friday.
While she was cooking dinner, the
kitchen roof took fire from de-
feet in the fiue and before suffici-
ent help could arrive, her entire
home was destroyed. Neighbors
succeeded in saving most of the
furniture. Her total loss Is esti-
mated at from 100000 to ST.
10000 and she had no insurance.
Mrs. Jones was alone in the
house at the time and, feeling
bit tired, lay down to rest a
while. In "a few minutes she
smelled smoke and, on looking for
the cause, discovered the kitchen
roof ablaze. An alarm was quick
ly given and many people hurried
to the scene and did what they
could to save the furniture. Moth
ing could be done to save the
house, which was SO far removed
from the nearest fire-plug that it.
was beyond saving before enough
hose could be laid to reach it. And
owing to the want of trained fire.
men, some unavoidable delays oc.
Cured before the water was turn
ed on the flames.
Sparks and cinders from the
burning building fell on and set
fire to four cottages in the vicini-
ty, one of them being occupied by
S. |. Huffman and family on Sulli-
van street, which is several blocks
from the Jones cottage.
General sympathy is felt for
Mrs. Jones, who, being a widow
with several children, finds her
loss quite serious one. But we
understand that she will rebuild
rs soon as she can secure the lum-
ber and other material.

Typhoid and the Fly

remains through it's natural life a
source of danger"
AS protection against the dis
ease two principal precautions are
to be observed, and safety de-
mands that both shall be practiced
with all earnestness and care that
regard for the sacredness of -hu-
man life itself can suggest.
First, keep all food from flies.
Second, kill the fly, exterminate
the race if such a thing were pos
sible.
1t is known that the fly is an ex-
tensive traveller. Experiments
have proved that he often goes
from four to eight city blocks un-
der his own motive power. Aided
by favor;ng breeze he may go
much further. In railroad trains
or in other conveyances he may
travel hundreds of miles. And
the real danger lies in the fact
that no one can tell where has
come from. 1t may be from FL
thy, disease laden surroundings in
to healthful neighborhoods, which
too often in large cities are in dan
gerous proximity. The risk is too

Land of Opportunity

Every day that passes now sees
Florida occupying a more promi'
nent place among her sister states.
People are just finding out that
Florida is real and that it is right
here before us. They are discov-
ering that it has the most delight
fdl climate ON earth and that its
soil is far more productive than
that of any other state in the
Union.
Florida offers uncqualled oppor-
tunlties for the settler. He can
grow more of almost any kind of
crop known to the world upon an
acre Of ground in Florida than
anywhere else. He has crops
ready for market Mt seasons of the
year when they can he grown in
no other locality, anil rs u result
gets the topmost prices. He can
grow grapefruit, the grandest
specimen of fruit that has been
given to mankind. And it is worth
while to note that there is only a
small quantity of grapefruit grown
outside of Florida, and it is not
the best quality either. Califor-

PROTECTION OF BIRDS
British Columbia Importing Hundreds
of Songsfers

AS means of protecting or.
chards and farms against insect
pests, the provincial government
of British Columbia has imported
from the Old Country hundreds ol
song birds, including larks, lin.
nets, gold-fnches and robins, and
has made careful provision fol
their security. 1t is believed that
within comparatively a few years
the birds will have exterminatetI
many species of insects that are
destroying trees and damaging
crops; and besides the practical
service, they will greatly enrich
the country's natural charm.
There is a widespread awaken
ing in the United States to the
value of birds and the impor-
tance of protecting them from
slaughter. The department of
agriculture estimates that in the
last two years insects have dam
aged orchards and growing crops
to the extent of more than bill
lion and Il half dollars. Much of
this loss is attributable to the fact
that the pell-n'elI killing of birds
has opened the way for nm un-
checked increase of insect pests.
Fortunately, we are coming to
reckon seriously with these condi-
tions and to profit by the example
of Old World countries that have
adopted practical measures for
bird conservation. Many pro-
gressive states, Georgia among
them, have enacted protective
game laws and, what is especially
gratifying, the federal govern
ment seems To have realized the
need of such measures. The de-
partment of agriculture recently
set aside tract of government
land as II game preserve where
misunderstanding birds will be
bred. This is wise policy and if
faithfully pursued, it will ac.
complish on large scale what
the provincial government of
British Columbia is now attempt
ing in behalf of its own territory
and will thereby save agricultural
interests from incalculable, losses

Therefore, keep the fly from all
possible contact with food. Screen
the pantry and kitchen and the
dining room. Back of this, screen
all earth closets in order, as far as
possible, to prevent the fly from
becoming infected. And in all
screen work, make it thorough.

The Western Pacific RaiIwa

The Western Pacific Railway
has instructed its engineers to re-
port fires along the right-of-way
where it traverses the Plumas
national forest, California. The
location of fires is indicated on a
board dropped by the engineer or
fireman to the next section crew
met after the fire is discovered. 1t
is then the duty of part of the
section crew to go back on hand
cars or speeders and put out the
blaze.

state of earthly existence to which
Utopians have been looking for
ward from the beginning of things
with anticipations of rapture, it is
at least presumable that all dis
ease will be banished and the doc
tors, like municipal fire depart
ments, will be maintained at public
expense for use'i in emergencies.
Nevertheless, the doctors in these
times apparently SO remote from
the millennial period are doing all
they can to hasten its coming.
Medical science has never been
more active than now in investl-
eating causes and discovering rem
edies for human ailments. They
have dignifed sanitation to the
rank of a science, applying their
increasing knowledge to the pre-
vention of disease quite as much as
to its cure. Physical disorders,
which less than a generation ago,
brought panicky hopelessness in
their train, have lost their terrors
and their enormously high death
rates. f&
Yet some diseases that wrought
greatest havoc twenty or fifty
years ago, claim the longest lists
of victims today. Changing con-
ditions of living have increased
their ravages, but it is probable
that this is due in large measure
to greater density of population.
Undoubtedly this is true of tuber-
culosis and typhoid.
With typhoid it is due in large
degree to it's victims themselves,
who carelessly and persistently
disregard the signboards that the
medical profession has set up as
warnings along the way. For ty-
phoid is not necessary or an un-
avoidable visitation of Providence.
Science has discovered the condi-
tions that favor it; it has publish
ed them so widely that the sim
plest may read and understand
and pass by on the other side in
safety.
Why should hundreds and
thousands of lives be sacrificed
every year when they might be
saved by the exercise of simple
and inexpensive cautionary meth.
ods9 These methods are based
upon proven facts and common
sense.
Quoting from an article on this
subject that appeared in the Flori-
da State press in March, 1918;
'.The disease is spread by flies that
carry the germs of infection.
These germs come from persons
who have or have had the disease.
They are developed in the intestl.
nal tracts and become available
for distribution from the excreta
of sach individuals. FIics alieht-
ing upon such excavations carry

the digestive systems of other and

anything more disgusting.

that the conditions most favorable

among horsemcn who campaign over

tracks that hobbies may disrupt the
old organization before the meeting

The directors have been canvassed
and it has been found that they are
about equally divided as TO the use
OF hobbies.
President Y. j. Aldrich OF the asso-
citation is leading the fight for free
going horses. He and his supporters
will make fight to have ali horses
barred off the Illinois tracks which
cannot trot or pace without the use
of straps. basing their stand on the
fact that the American Trotting and
Racing association has barred the hob

after 1915.
Those who believe in getting the
speed out OF the animals. no matter
how, retort that the Hartford associa-
ton. the ruling body in the east. has
