FLY AND MOSQUITO MENACE.
Windows and Doors should Now Be
 Guarded h hith Screens.

The hOuSc1ly and the mosquito haven't begun to be nuisanccS, so far. But the fly is here and the mos quito will be back at work ill q week or two, as soon as warm weather sets in.
 It's time to put up screens on all windows and doors. Put up your screens at once. See that they flt snugly. Sec that there are no torn places in the wire mesh. If you cant screen the whole rouse, screen the kitchen and all food receptacles from the deadly, disease carryinr flX.
 And, above all, keep the baby screened from the fly.
 Screens are often useless because they do not fit the opening slugly If there is a gap of the narroWest width anywhere, the mosquito is sure to find it. Wherever there is gap it should be closed by tacking strip of light canvas to the frame of the screen on the outer side. Doors should have a good spring so ad- iusted that it will keep the door tightly closed.
 With removable window screens of the sliding or telescoping kinds care must be taken that mosquitoes can not work their way in between the overlapping ends.
 Mosquitoes will also get in through the chimney, if fireplace are not tightly screened. Openings into chim- neys for stove pipes should also be screened, as well as all drain holes The mosquito is a pest, but the housefly is deadly. It carries germ laden filth from the most uncleanly places to food and drink. Be sure tc protect all food, especially milk, from flies. Screen the kitchen and the din ing room especially. And if there's baby in the house, screen it's crit and carriage with mosquito netting Protect it's food, it's bottle, its bed and everything belonging to it that might be touched by a fly.
 Keep flies away from the SICK especially those that are i'll from ty- phod fever, consumption and other agious diseases. Kill every fly that enters the sick room.

day and an official announcement OF the
company's plan to lIquidate its business Is
expected. 1t has been known for some
time that the leading stock interests, rep
resented by the Hartman and Platt hold
ings. favor a winding up of the COM
panys affairs rather than face the COM
petition OF the parcel post and the loss in
revenues entailed by the reduction in
rates that went into effect on February 2.
More than half of the stock Is held by
the Harrimans and the Platts, and as the
board of directors consists mainly OF rep
resentatives of these interests Its action
will be regarded as being only formal
recognition OF the wishes Of the leading
shareholders
d. I. Roberts, president OF the company.
said Yesterday that he would place the
nroposition before the directors at to-
DAVIS meeting with certain recommended

Rock Island CollateralS
Descend TO a Still
Lower Level.
HOLDING COMPANY'S
SHARES Do LIKEWISE
Belief Grows That Bondholders
Will Have TO Bear Greater
Part of the Burden.

The facility with which descents in me
security markets may be accomplished
when enough mystery surrounds the
future OF certain bonds and stocks was
well illustrated yesterday. The Rock
Island collateral As, which have felt no
assurance OF stability on any of their
temporary resting places, went through
40. as far through at 1915, with more than
400 Of the bonds passing from one set or
holders to another. The holding COM
pany's stocks. moving pari passu, eN~
plored new depths. For their weakness
there WAS no explanation needed beyond
the fall OF the bonds Perhaps the Oo"Us
declined because they have the haoit' IS
n broker suggested, and habits are nara
10 break. But the most plausible reason
that is put forward 10 account for their
nersistent weakness is the widespread
belief that the holding company's STOCKS
or a very good part Of them, al leas''
have been shifted in the last few months
from the hands OF those that could pay
an assessment to the hands OF those that
noss,bIy could not. In that event the
bondholders, who will almost certainly
become stockholders OF the underlying
railway company some day. Will have 70
meet not only their own share ot/the as
sessment, but the share OF the ROCK isl-
and company's stockholders.
