The fly is an ideal carrier of the
most dangerous disease germs.
The house fly, the most common, is
a mechanical porter of bacteria, both
by means OF fly specks and it's feet. 1t
breeds in filth, where it's eggs are laid
to hatch as maggots. The maggot
feeds on filth for eight days, exists as
the pupa for two days, and on the
tenth flies away hungry for more filth
Its sense of smell is its guide to food,
and by this means it roves from ami
mai filth to the sweets and meats in
tended for human consumption. Nine
ty per cent. of the house flies breed in
stables and fly directly thence to hui
man habitations.
The stable fly, so called because it is
partial to horses and cattle, is smaller
than the house fly and has biting
mouth with which it can pierce the
th1ckest skin, planting its germs in the
very blood of the victim. It breeds
about the same as the house fly but is
found in lawn clippings and garbage,
as well as stable refuse.
Such is the nature of the insect
which is estimated to cause more than
a third of typhoid fever cases and is
known to transmit the germs of tu-
berculosis. cerebro-spinaI meningitis

WON FIRST ROUND
Santa Fe Retains County Seat
of Haskell.
SubIette Citizens Claimed Law
Was Unconstitutional

Santa Fe, Kan, April 12.-The
Apri term of the district court of Has
kell county closed yesterday, and with
it ended one chapter of the county
seat case which has been so bitterly
fought. Judge Downer presided, and
held that Sublette did not receive a
sufficient number of votes to carry
the election, and that the county seat
will remain at Santa Fe The adher-
ents of Sublette have served notice of
appeal and will probably take the case
to the supreme court.
Sublette relied mainly upon the
ground that the law requiring a three
fifthS majority in order to remove the
county seat was unconstitutional, but
Judge Downer held the law to be con-
stitutional
Sublette was represented by Attor-
neys Foster and Mars, Abram Schulz
man, and Hutchinson and Vance of
Garden City, also Scates and Watkins
of Dodge City, and c. G. Dennis of
Sublette. Santa F'e was represented
by H w. Stubs of Satanic and Mar
shall and Rhoades of New Ulysses.
The decision of the court has put
new life into Santa Fe. There will be
a hotel, and new store and a livery
barn started in the near future, and a
postmaster will be appointed to take
the place of the one who moved to
Sublette. 1t seems that the fate of
the town which has been the county
seat for so long hung in the balance,
and that every one was awaiting this
decision.

other infectious diseases which an
nually take an appalling toll in human
lives.
l. is little wonder, then, that the
cry of health authorities all over the
country is "Swat the fly" and that
especial attention is being given to
the lady fly of early spring.
This is the first preventive meas
ure. Others must follow to correct
the danger inherent in the flies
which escape the swatter.
Care should be taken that no flies
feed or breed. This means that all
garbage must be covered, that all ma
nure be covered and disposed of as
soon as possible, that all animal offal
and filth be removed. Then, too, fly
traps should be placed on garbage can
covers and similar places.
Educative work has been taken up
in many of our cities, most notably in
Cleveland. Ohio, where DR.. Jean Daw-
son, head of the school biology de-
partment has instituted fly cam
paign among the school children.
They are taught regular catechism on
the dangers of flies, equipped with fly
swatters. and paid ten cents a hundred
for all dead flies turned in. The young
idea thus taught how to swat, is ex-
pected to grow into the mature idea,
firmly conferred upon the ideal, not of
a spotless town, but of a hyless town.
Swat the fly.

CHOLERA SERUM
Agricultural College Trying to
Prevent Infection in Hogs.
To Show That Cholera Can Be
Controlled and Eradicated.

Manhattan, Kan, April 12.-There
won't be any doubt about the value
Of serum in fighting hog cholera if the
Kansas Agricultural college is success
full in an experiment to begin soon.
1t is proposed by the veterinarians ar
the college to select certain definite
sections in various parts of the state
in which it will be shown that cholera
can be controlled and finally eradl-
Gated by the use of serum. One hum
drad and fifty farmers in section
about seven miles long and four miles
offer to cooperate in making these
tests. Another section of similar size
in Smith county probably will be ready
for the test within a few months.
Before the college will agree to
make a test every hog owner in a
territory must consent to cooperate
and follow out the directions of the
college. These directions will be
mainly suggestions regarding sanitary
conditions, feeding, etc. The owner
must agree to have all his hogs vac
cinated whether they are sick or not,
and he must pay for the serum useG-
He must keep in close touch with the
college and furnish information con-
corning the condition of the hogs-
The college will send a veterinary
physician into the territory as often
as NAV be necessary to vaccinate all
the hogs and suggest such care in
handling as he believes will be best
The salary and railroad fare of tins
veterinarian will be paid by the agrl-
cultural college but the hog owners
are expected to pay his other ex-
