Health Department Exhibits
Chicago Method Of Putting
End to Menace to Pub
lie Health.
Kill Every Fly and Disease
May Be EIiminated-Pat.
ronize Only Shops Where
Care Is Taken, Is Advice.

A series of pictures, showing in q
striking manner the ways TO avoid
the distress and disease caused by
flies, have been received by the Dis
tr:ct Health Department from the
chicago health department.
IN one of the pictures, labeled,
The way not TO buy milk" is
shown the interior Of a filthy dairy
with the proprietor dipping milk
through a maze Of flies around the
top of the can and depositing il
in an open bucket. The next picture,
showing the only safe way to buy
milk. is that Of a clean, up-to-date,
sanitary dairy, with the proprietor
handling a customer bottle of clean
milk taken from a Refrigerator,
where it has been kept at the proper
temperature.
Other pictures show the dangers Of
buying meats. vegetables and gro
ceries from stores which are not
properly screened. while contrasted
TO them are drawings Of the inter
ior of such establishments and
restaurants where sanitary condi-
tons are carefully observed, and the
fly is swatted the moment he puts
in an appearance.
A clean. well-kept back yard, in
which every possible breeding place
for flies and other disease carriers
has been carefully eliminated, is
contrasted with a dirty yard. lit
tered with trash, empty cans and
other filth in which flies can breed
unmolested by the million.
The Health Department takes oc-
casion 10 point out that dirty back
yards are one best places for flies
to breed, and to keep the number
from multiplying faster than they
are being killed it is necessary 10
have cleanliness the keynote for the
back yard as well as the front
lawn The department points out
that every one in the District should
be enlisted in the campaign against
hlies, and should miss no opportuni-
ty to kill every fly he or she sees.
Eliminate the hy and much sick
ness will be eliminated. says the de-
partment In Panama and other
places. where the mosquito was the
chief cause of sickness, the MOSQUITO
has been entirely eliminated. and in
Washington, where flies are one OF
the chief menaces of health, they
can be eliminated as the nno|<>to
has elsewhere.
The way to do it is for every
body to-
KILL THE FLY.

In the first degree last night for poi
soning her husband and sentenced to
die in the electric chair in April, was
awakened by Sheriff Dempsey before

parting. At o'clock Mrs. Buffum was
started on her trip to the death house
at Auburn Prison.
All during the night the little pale
faced, sullen woman had been care
fully guarded in her cell to prevent
her from attempting suicide, but her
iron nerve remained unbrol1en. She
relies on the encouragement from her

she had been sentenced, Don't worry.
now; keep quiet and leave it all to me.

Vergara Is Reported to
Haze Been Kidnaped
BY associated Press

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Officials here
discussed with much interest to-day
the report Of Captain Sanders, of the
Texas Rangers, saying Clement Ver-
CARA, an American citizen, reported
hanged had really been kidnapped
and shot by Huerta's federals
While Consul Garrett had been or
dered to make an extended inquiry and
vigorous representations demanding
reparation have been made to the HUI
erta government at Mexico City, there
was little official information to-day on
the Fergara killing, which has ad-
mittedly stirred the Washington gov
ernment just as much as the recent
execution of William S. Benton, a
British subject, at Juarez.
The. inquiry into the Benton case
was planned to begin in earnest to-
day or tomorrow with the departure
of special train from Juarez for Chi
huahua, furnished by Villa, bearing
representatives of England and the
United States. In Chihuahua Amer
ican Consul Letcher will join the in
vestigators. Opinion is divided here
on whether Benton's body after being
buried nearly two weeks in tropical
climate would show If his wounds were
i.
While no satisfactory answer has been
made to the American governments
request for the surrender of the body
to the widow, that point will not be
pressed until all the evidence of a
medical examination is secured.
That General GarranZa was rapidly
getting into touch with the situation
at Juarez and Chihuahua and would
exert his influence to clear up the Ben
ton case, was the informal assurance
which reached here to-day. 1t was
also supposed that Garranza will Sc
cure compliance to the American de-
mand for the body.
officials had before them to-day
Governor Colquitt's telegram asking
whether the United States recognized
any constituted government in North
ern Mexico, with whom he could ar
range for the eXtradition of those
whom he believed responsible for the
death of Vergara.
