Seven Varieties Of Files.

Seven different varieties of flies
are found In our houses, SO per cent
Of which are represented by the com.
mon housefy. Flies lay their eggs
only In fermenting or decaying sub,
stances-by preference In manure.
Hence every stable is center of in
fection unless periodically disinfected.
The fly maggot Is also Matched out in
latrines and ashpit refuse, such as
bedding, straw, rags, paper, scraps of
meat, fruit, ETC., on which substances
the larvae subsist after they hatch,
which occurs in about twelve days
after the egg has been laid. It Is
estimated that single fly, laying 12O
eggs at time, will produce progeny
amounting to sextillions by the end
of the season.
The numbers of bacteria upon q
single fly have been proved to range
all the way from $50 to 6,6O0,0OO The
average for Ala flies which were ex,
am1ned at the agricultural experiment
station at Storrs, Conn, was 1,25O,OOO
bacteria apiece. This represents about

Repairing Fractured Hearts.

Thlrty-one patients in a Russian
hospital have recovered from stab
wounds of the heart!
Doctor Zlidler says the patients were
put under the influence of ether very
soon after the injury, part of the
chest wall was removed, the heart
lifted from it's bed and the stitches
quickly introduced between pulsa-
tons. The bony chest wall over the
heart was not put back in place, that
organ being left covered only by skin
and muscle. This was done to give
the heart room to expand and to pre-
vent adhesions from embarrassing the
hearts action. Several of the patients
have resumed their usual employment.
The probable reason for the success
OF the experiment was prompt and
rapid operation.

GAME WORTH HUNTING

Five Weil-Piaced Shots Needed to Fin.

urements Only a Few Inches
Under the Record.

Those who have been ION safart"
their number must now amount to
thousan6s-will read with great inter-
est Stewart Edward Whites modestly
told story of hunting journey from
Mombasa through the Shimba hills,
NairObi, Kapiti, the Tsavo river and
Masailand. Mr. White had the good
fortune to shoot almost a record" big
lion. He thus describes the incident:
We had proceeded in this fashion
for about a mile, when suddenly, and
most Unexpectedly, the biggest lion 1
ever saw leaped straight up from a
bush 25 yards in front of me, and with
a tremendous roar vanished behind an
other bush.
had just time to throw up the .4O5
shotgun fashion and let drive snap
shot. Clifford Hill, who was ten yards
to my right, saw the fur fly, and we
all heard the snarl as the bullet hit.
Naturally we expected an instant
charge, but, as things turned out, it
was evident the lion had not seen us
at all He had leaped at the sight of
our men and horses on the skyline,
and when the bullet hit him he must
have ascribed it to them. At any rate,
he began to circle through the tangled
vines in their direction.
From their elevation they could fol-
low his movements. At once they set
up howls of terror and appeals for
help. Some began frantically to run
back and forth. None of them tried
to run away; there was nowhere to
go! The only thing that saved them
was the thick and spiky character of
the cover. The lion, instead of charg-
ing straight and fast, was picking an
easy way.
We tore directly up hill as fast as
we were able, leaping from rock to
rock and thrusting recklessly through
the tangle. About halfway up jumped
to the TOP Of high, cOnical rock, and
thence by good luck caught sight of
the lions great yellow head advancing
steadily about 80 yards away.
l took as good sight as l could
and pulled trigger. The recoil knocked
me clear off the bowlder, but as fell /
saw his tail go up and knew that l
had hit. At once Clifford Hill and l
jumped up on the rock again, but
the lion had moved out of sight. We
all maneuvered rapidly for position.
Again luck was with me, for again
l saw his great head, the name stand
ing out all around it; and for the
second time planted heavy bullet
square in his chest
This stopped his advance; he lay
down. His head was up and his eyes
glared, as he uttered the most rever-
berating and magnificent roars and
growls. The dogs leaped and barked
around him.
We came quite close and l planted
my fourth bullet in his shoulder. Even
this was not enough. 1t took q fifth
in the same place to finish him.
The hcwls from the hilltop ceased.
All gathered to marvel at the lions
immense size. He measured three
feet nine inches at the shoulder and
nine feet eleven inches between
stakes or ten feet eleven inches along
contour This is only five inches un-
der record.
We weighed him piecemeal, after a
fashion, and put him between $50
pounds and 600 pounds.

MAKE INDIAN INDEPENDENT.

A definite, constructive policy Tor
the Indian, by which he may be
transformed from a ward of the Gov
eminent to a successful and integral
part of American citizenry;
discussion of the development of the
west; and a review of the achieve
ments of the last year, are contain
ed in an annual report OF Secretary
Franklin K Lane of the interior de-
partment, sent to President Wilson.
Secretary Lane discusses the In
dian problem at length and asks
whether sit is for the benefit of the
Indian himself that the present aims
house policy should continue.
''The American Conscience, our
sense of justice, our traditions, In
fact, will not permit the adoption OF
a drastic course that would cast the
Indians upon world for which he is
ill prepared" he says: "Yet | am
of the opinion that lit would be bet
ter, far better, to sever all ties be-
tween the Indian and the government
give every man his own and let him
go. his way to success or destruction,
rather than keep alive in the Indian
the belief that he is to remain war
of the government.
''The way out is gradually and wise
ly to put the Indian out. Our goal
is the free Indian. The orphan asy-
lum idea must be killed in the minds
of Indians and white men. The In
dian should know that he is upon
the road to enjoy or suffer full ca
pacity He is to have his opportun-
-ity as a forward-looking man
1T is my conclusion, after as init
mate a study as practicable, of his
nature and needs, that We should
hencefOrth make a positive and sys-
tematic effort to cast the full burden
Of independence and responsibility
upon an increasing number of the In
dians of all tribes. l find that there
is a statute which significantly en-
powers the secretary of the interior
to do this i'm individual cases. That
authority lis adequate l intend to us
such authority.
In an extended discussion of the
and development of the west, Secre-
tary Lane adverts, with notable frank
ness, to embarrassments which he
has encountered i'm dealing with the
problems presented to his department.
"It cannot be unknown to you,"
the secretary says, that there is
throughout the country, more espec-
tally in the western states-which be-
cause of their ambition are natur-
ally impatient of obstruction-a very
ocracy of Washington
This is said to be a system or or
ganized machine, the spirit of which
is to oppose action or to effect neg
ative action. 1t is yisualized as Ell
ther cynical or malevolent, altogether
out of sympathy with those whose
needs must come to the government
for some form of help, and so wound
around and around with red tape of
officialdom as to resemble a barbed
wire ENHANCEMENT which, if not alb
solutely impregnable, is only to be
passed through after much suffering
and toll
1t is a matter of no immediate
concern how much basis there is for
this belief. The presence of the be-
Lief makes it a real problem, and the
destruction Of the belief necessary,

BEGIN WORK

Eight prisoners from the county
jail are at work today on North Sew

ing macademized road and tomor-
row three or four more will be put to
work. The men are in charge of
Deputy Sheriff Bookwalter.
Abe Ong and William Price are
not among the workmen, but il is
expected that they will be on the job
later. Most OF the trouble in get
ting the erstwhile bootleggers to do
road work has been their fear that
they will become the objects OF cur
ious spectators. Deputy Bookwalter
has orders TO keep all idlers moving
and to prevent any camera fiends
from swapping" the men.
Naturally the able bodied fellows
are more willing to work than to
lounge about the jail. Ong and Price
however, are considerable lazier than
the rest and prefer the easier hours
in their cells. The sheriff isn't maxi
ing any threats about what Will hap
pen if the two best known members
OF the bootleggers' fraternity don't
work but he is OF the opinion that
they will be laboring pretty soon.
Frank Phillips who resided in this
CITY until the day he was arrested in
Palisade for operating bootlegging
establishment. is an old-time friend
OF Ernest Taylor and family. The
news of the death of little Thelma
Taylor was a great shock to him and
the sheriff gave him leave this af-
ternoon to attend the funeral. He
will report back to the jail later this
evening.
Several of the prisoners have ap-
piled for permission to help in the
building OF the Taylor home on North

new building go through. This per-
mission will very probably be granted.
