1t is ready carrier and dissemination of the
germs of typhoid fever also. 1t carries these
germs from the privy other filth and deposits
them upon all kinds of food In the kitchen. 1t

tuberculosis and typhoid, however though the
most important are not by any means the only
diseases which the fly carry. Asiatic cholera,
bubonic plague, bacillary dysentery, summer dia--
rhea of infants, anthrax. the tropical disease
known as yaws, ophthalmia or pink eye of chill
dren, diphtheria and smallpox and certain para
site worms-all these may be carried by the fly
and the infection spread either through the me-
dunn of food or BY direct contact with man.
Owing to the great prevalence and the large
mortality In the United States caused by summer
diarrhea of children the fly as the carrier of the
germs of this malady becomes at once most i'm
portant factor to consider in the efforts made to
save child life, and no mother should be ignoy.
ant Of this fact The food given little children
should be carefully guarded against coming in
contact with the house-fy.
The remedies to be used against the fly may
be divided into two classes: Those which the
community may use through the agency of

filth abounds DR.. L. o. Howard of the Unite
States department of agriculture named it the ''ty
phoid fly" from the fact that 1t is ready carrie
and disseminator of the germs which cause typhoi
fever
With the first advent of spring weather the house
fly appears. During the long winter months 1t ha
been alternating. 1t cold for the fly to liv
and be active Barring certain places where the
temperature is high AND food abundant. the fly
Is not seen during the winter months.
Soon after musca domestica has made its ap-
pearance it is in search of place to breed The
female fly has got to lay her eggs. Nothing suits
her better depository for her eggs than
pile of horse manure. She, therefore, makes her
way to the stable, and that is the reason why
stables are densely infested with these insects.
There they breed in countless numbers In the
absence of the favorite manure pile any ferment-
ing and putrid animal and vegetable matter will
suit
Whenever fly is seen It is positive proof Of
the existence of some filth In the neighborhood.
1t is much more filthy and much more dangerous
to have flies in the kitchen and dining room than
to have bedbugs in the bedroom.
Every open garbage can, every bit OF exposed
food, every stagnant bit of water means another
nursery and refuge for the pest And each In
diEdual fly is the breeding place for as many
nurseryi
Flies carry various disease germs to
By so doing they kill thousands of people, espe-
cially babies, year; therefore. kill the flies
and save the babies
If flies have access to human excrement they
not only feed upon it, but they lay their eggs in
it. After few hours the egg matches out mag
got; this feeds in the filth for several (about
1ve) days and then forms a pupa; after about
five days the adult fly comes out of the pupai
case, feeds on the filth, and carries disease germs
from the filth TO the house. depositing these
germs the foods Thus flies carry disease to
people. fly drops his excrement about once
every four and a half minutes and may spread
germs not only in this way, but also with his
feet, wings. and mouth parts
Even If excrement containing fly maggots is
buried under as much six feet of sand, the
maggots can crawl to the surface, bringing dis
germs with them.
Thus it is clear that If flies kept away from
human excrement, not only will they decrease in
numbers but they will be prevented from spread
ing certain diseases, such as typhoid fever.

Perhaps a month elapsed without any

meetings. always previously arranged by
the carrier pigeons, about which Hassam
Ali pretended to know nothing. Besides,
he was busy with numerous clients who
wanted to know about their business in

body else's past And he continued to
build his pyramids of phantom gold. Tho
one mistake he had made was to 40

immense fortune. Tho trustees had al

It would have been an easy matter to
have kept her in ignorance. But evil as
he was himself. he had a profound re-

Storm had urged Zudora a dozen times

OF what use to marry II they could not
have a home of their own? or what use
to burden themselves with secret which
would interfere with their pursuits and

More than that, she reasoned, her friends
would always look askance at her II,
after some months, IL became known that
she was married and was not living open
ly with her husband. No; she had given
her word, and she would not break II. So
John surrendered gracefully. But he was
always feeling that mysterious cloud
which hung lowering over them both.
Many a night while alone he tried to
figure out the basic cause for Hassam
Alrs attitude. Some day, when work
easied up bit, he determined to go back
over Hassam All's past, with all the
searching inquiry of n first-class lawyer.
There was something more than mere
physical antagonsm. He never contested
this belief to zudora, however. 1t die
