!. Where is the house fly born

the fly. ....-.
4. Where does the fly live?
Where there is filth.
5. Is there anything too filthy
for the fly to eat? No.
g. Does the fly like clean food,
too? Yes it appears to be his de-
light to wipe his feet on clean food.
Z Where is his faVorite place Of
feeding? The manure heap and the
garbage can.
s. Where does the fly so after
leaving the manure heap and the
garbage can? Into the bed room,
the kitchen and the dining room.
9. What does he do in the kit
chen, the dining room and the bed
room? He wipes his feet on the
food, bathes in the milk and annoys
the sleeper.
10. Does the fly visit those sick
with typhoid fever, consumption,
smallpox and cholera infantum?
He certainly does and may call on
you next.
II. Is the fly dangerous? Yes,
he spreads disease.

specks" after he has been feeding on
infected material.
10. What disease may the fly
thus carry? He may convey typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, cholera dysen-
terry and summer complaint.

phoid in Kansas last year.
Is. Where are the great num-
bers of cases of typhoid fever and
summer complaint" Where there
are the most flies.
49, Where are the most flies?

II. Is the presence of flies there
fore any indication of nearby filth?
1t most certainly is, and that is dis
graceful.

moving his breeding place, removing
all garbage and making vaults fly
proof and by keeping our yard and
alley clean, by screening the house,
by the use Of the wire swater and
sticky fly paper.

STOP MISUSE OF FLAG.
State Officials Halt Dissertation of
Stars and Stripes by Advertisers.

Des Moines, July S.--Use of the
United States flag for advertising
purposes doesn't go in Iowa. There
has been a good deal Of complaint
about this and some of the offenders
are being called down.
A bank in southwestern Iowa had
prepared a big sheet all printed in
bright colors showing an American
flag and the bank advertisement con.
spicUOus. 1t was submitted to the
legal department of the state and the
bank was notified that the use of the
advertisement in that form would
be in violation of the laws of the
state.
A Des Moines daily paper was
making extensive use of flags for
advertising purposes and had a big
advertisement showing a flag which
was to draw attention to the adver-
tisement Of the paper. This has
been stopped. Another Des Moines
publication, a farm journal. is said
to be doing the same thing and using
a picture of a flag in connection
with an advertisement to secure
more subscribers
The Iowa law is very strict on
the subject but most of the cases of
violation have been inadvertent

had his picture printed in the
squeedunk Weekly Sun. He had
newfangled notions of making farm
ing pay He even bought fool ma
chine to help him load his hay. The
neighbors fairly snorted when they
saw the bloomin' thing; said Will
would never make it work. 1t wasn't
worth a ding! Bill didn't say a
single word, an didn't care darn
bout what they said, fer slick as
grease his way went in the barn an
hour before thunder storm came
sailin' out that way and caught his
neighbors in a pinch and spoiled
their new mown hay. Bills neigh

'em in tank Bill skinned his

Make En- DO 1t.

The highway commission has call
ed the attention of the state to the
noXiouS weed law. All weeds along
the highways must be cut between
July / and August |. The suggestion
is that the highway commission in
tends to enforce this law which has
been much neglected and ignored.
The noXiOus weed law is a piece
of sensible legislation and should be
enforced thoroughly. The good farm
er does not wait to be driven to cut
weeds along his road. He refuses to
maintain along the side Of his farm
nursery for the weeds he must
fight to save his crops and get the re-
turns necessary to high priced acres.
And the trustees should see to it
that he IS protected against the care
less farmer or the soil SHINING ten
nant of the farm across the road.
Those in authority should not force
the farmer who cuts weeds to COM
plain OF his neighbor who refuses or
neglects to comply with wise law
and thus make bad blood in the
neighborhood. Somewhat OF author
ity beyond the dignity and title
should go with the trusteeship.
1t doesn't cost cent to force the
neglerttul and careless to NOV weeds.
The law says all must do it. All that
is needed is proper action by those
who sought eagerly the authority to
enforce the law.
See that the weeds are moved
along the highways and on all town
lots and parkings whether occupied
OF vacant Make 'em do it,

Looks Bad For the Booze.

On and after the Fourth Of July
all parties who have booze shipped
to them in the state of Iowa, will
have to sign death warrant in the
Office CT the express company. This
death warrant is in the form Of a
record book, it shows what kind OF
booze, the amount, from whom ship
ped and mach other Information that
the law requires. This book is open
for the inspection of the officers OF
the law whenever they deem it nee
essary. 1t will have a tendency to
put stop to some Of the booze ship
ments as many fellows do not care
to have the public know just how
much liquor they consume in a given
time. And then too it will work a
hardship On the felllo" who is gift
ed to selling a little booze on the
side. If he gets big shipment and
they come a little too often, the rec
ords will be against him and he
may have a hard time proving to the
court that his wife's health was so
bad that it needed a large amount
Of stimulants to keep her going.

Appeals to Postmaster General t

in giving Sunday exhibitions in de-
fiance of the church sentiment and
of course, the churches are right.
The theatre is owned by Mrs. Vic

people seem to connect the running
of the theatre on Sunday in some
manner with the postmaster and

SETS INSURANCE RATE.
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION FIXES
AMOUNT TO BE CHARGED.
Average Of $3.46 Per $500 Of Payroll
10 Approved for All MetaIliferous
Mines In State.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-The state Industrial COM
mission notified the private insur-
ance companies that 1t will approve
a premium rate OF $3.75 per 800 of
payroll for furnishing workmen's s
compensation insurance for under.
ground employees in metalliferous
mines. and rate Of $2.39 per 800 Of
payroll for insurance OF surface
workers Of the same class of mines.
The two rates would make an average
rate of s346, in contrast with $415,
which was first proposed by the COM
panies, s3.92 later proposed by them
and $3.S5 finally filed by them with
the commission.
In addition the commission will rule
that 25 per cent Of the rate will be
cut off for employers supplying medi-
cal and hospital service in accord
ance with the law.

prove an average rate Of $3.46. while
the companies filed one Of $3.S5. indi-
Gates that the commission itself will
charge $3.46 for insurance in the state

lieye they should receive, but they
say they feel that the commission is
acting conservatively. so that there
will be no possibility Of insolvency OF

through an insufficient income be
cause of too low premium rates.
The action of the commission has
removed the probability that mutual
insurance company will be formed by
the metalliferous employers. A ma
jority OF them will now undoubtedly
take out their compensation insurance
with the state fund, according to Fred
Carroll state mining commissioner
who headed the committee that met
with the commission.

quarterly meeting OF the Ell Paso Bar
Association were practically unani-

comes effective Aug. /, Is far from a
good lawn fact. can easily become
4 distinct menace. Reasons advanced
were that the commission was given
too much power; that the commission
in incompetent. that the act was
framed solely for employees, and that
il was misguided, Only one-Senator
W. c. Robinson, was in favor of the
act, and he said that he could not &C.
