While the Moh waIted.

The next day but one, in the huge
old-fashioned mansion of the Wran-
dalls in lower Fifth avenue, in the
drawing-room directly beneath the
chamber in which Challis was born,
the impressive but grimly conventional
funeral services were held.
Contrasting sharply with the SOM
Der, absolutely correct atmosphere of
the gloomy interior was the exterior
display OF joyous curiosity that must
have Jared severely on the high-bred
senssbilities OF the chief mourners, not
to speak OF the invited guests who
had been obliged to pass between rows
of gaping bystanders in order to reach
the portals of the house OF grief, and
who must have reckoned with extreme
distaste the cost of subsequent de-
parture. A dozen raucous-voiced po-
icemen were employed to keep back
the hundreds that thronged the side
walk and blocked the street. Curiosity
was rampant. Ever since the moment
that the body of Challis Wrandall was
carried into the house OF his father, q

Fighting the Filthy
FLY Everywhere.

The State Food Commissioner Of
Illinois believes not simply in swat
ting the filthy fly. but fn the exter-
mination of that disease breeding pest
and he gives this advice:
l. Don't buy food from any dealer
who refuses to fight the fly
2 Don't purchase fruits or vege-
tables offered for sale unscreened.
3. DON'T patronize any dealer who
hauls your food through the streets
and alleys unprotected
4 Don't eat fresh fruits without
thoroughly washing or peeling them
5. Don't keep garbage or refuse
around the house.
6. Don't throw dishwater and sim
liar Stops into the yard, as this
draws flies.
7. Don't allow flies to get on the
baby.
s. Don't allow your neighbor to be
careless as to flies.
@ Don't forget to notify the local
health officer Of any fly nuisance
This is good advice and an ohserv-
ance of it will go long way toward
solving the fly problem.
