hatred and distrust. He is known 10
be the principal factor in the distri-
button of the germs of typhoid, says
the Childrens Bureau, United States
Department of Labor.
Especially is he regarded as the enc

believe that he carries about the germs
OF summer diarrhoea. and leaves them
behind him, with other filth, when he

bottle. or crawls over the saucer of
cereal, or falls in the milk Thus he is
a real danger. not only to the bal by.
but to the whole family. and every
effort should be made to DO away with
him.
How to Prevent Matching.
Flies may be kept out of the house to
considerable extent by using screens at
the doors and windows. and those that
get inside may be trapped. poisoned, or
swatted. But better than any of these
methods is to destroy the flies in the
Matching. The following information is
furnished by the Department of Agri-
culture:
"A safe and effective weapon against
the typhoid or house fly has been found
in powdered hellebore by scientists of the
Department of Agriculture. Flies lay
their eggs chiefly in stable manure Pow
dered hellebore mixed with water and
sprinkled over the manure will destroy
the larvae which are Matched from the
eggs. Since powdered hellebore is read
lily obtainable. this puts in the hands Of
every one a remedy for one Of the pests
as troublesome. Powdered hellebore.
must be swatted or trapped
1T has long been known that flies
breed in manure. but previous methods
Of destroying the larvae there by the use
of strong chemicals have been open to
the objection that the treatment under
some conditions lessened the fertilizing
value Of the manure or actually injured
vegetation. This Is not true of pow
dered hellebore. Government expert
ments have shown that the hellebore Ii

GEORGIA'S HERO GOVERNOR

who Tears neither man nor the
opinions of men, is Governor Slaton
of Georgia. Knowing that public
sentiment was wildly opposed to the

who had made him Governor OF
Georgia were clamoring for the blood
OF the unfortunate man, and that to

the fury of the people Of his state,
Governor Slaton did What he con-
ceived to be his duty and saved
Frank from the galIoWs.

what he did do was suicidal He
knew that if he did what he did he
would be the object Of the wrath
and ridicule of the people Of Georgia
and that he could hencef0rth expect

himself to save the life of a despised
and condemned Jew and to save the
State of Georgia from the igno miny
of having taken the life of a man
whose guilt Though established by
a jury) had not been clearly proved.
When the announcement of the
Governor action was made public,
