built within the stockade around the
church. The chief and tho promnen,
braves OF the tribe were discussing
the plans on a part Of the cliff which
projected into the water when a storm
arose and the high waves beat against
the base of the cliff with great force
This had been happening for hun
dreds or years, all the while loosenins

Suddenly. as an immense combel
swept across the narrow beach. the
crash Of timber. the thunder Of huge
rocks. and the cries OF terrorstricker
men were mingled with The turmoil oil

young bucks reached the spot where
the meeting place had once been they

THE BURNING OF
THE RICE FIELDS
BY GEORGE CllPPERT,
ClIPPERT SCHOOL

LONG time ago an old man
~ lived on a mountain. away on
4 n In Japan. All around the little
house the land was very rich covered
with great rice fields. Day after day
the old man and his little grandson
would sit by the window and watch
the blue sea far beneath them. The
little boy loved the great rice fields
dearly. for he knew that his grand
father made all his money of them
One day as the grandfather stood
looking down az the sea. he saw Ii
great wave coming toward the shore.
Turning toward the house NJ cried,
John. John. bring brand from the
hearth The little boy could not
imagine what his grandfather wanted
with fire. but he did as he was told.
The old man was already thrusting a
brand into the dry rice field. In a
few minutes the wlole field was
blazing When the little boy saw
this he screamed. Grandfather.
Grandfather What are you DOING
The little boy cried bitterly. but
when his grandfather told him 10 set
fire TO II. too, he obeyed on the in
slant
In few minutes the people saw
their rice fields all burning up and
they all rushed to the top Of the
mountain TO save themselves. Every
one was asking. Who did this -
Who did this ," Il did il. said the
old man. Why said the people.
The old man did not answer, but
pointed TO the sea The people all
looked and there was great wave
rushing over their homes below. II
was a tidal wave. Not one man was
drowned. All gave thanks 70 the old
man for he was the hero that saved
all their lives.

PREVENTION OF TYPHOID FEVER

Much has been written regarding
the common fly as a distributor Of dis
ease, particularly Of typhoid. Much
more needs 10 be written regarding
these filthy insects before people will
be adequately aroused to action
against them. Flies breed in filth and
feed upon filth. Feeding as they do
Unfortunately upon manure, sew
age, garbage and upon food destined
for human consumption, they transfer
the heterogeneous from the
piles, privy and garbage reeeptacles to
the food in our kitchens, dining-rooms,
pantries, stores and markets. A fly
alighting upon food will transfer to IT
thousands Of bacteria. One fly, strug-
Cling in milk, may leave there humid
reds Of thousands Of germs. II that
fly was bred in the excreta from a ty-
phoid patient, he carries typhoid
bacilli upon his body, and leaves them
upon the food. In this way only may
single cases and small outbreaks of
this disease be accounted for.
IF YOU DON'T KILL THE FLY,
THE FLY WILL KILL YOU.
