DON'T WORRY OVER COM
MON MISTAKES.
The Genius Is Not the Man Who
Never Made Mistakes.

The people who make mistakes
/ lead the world.
, The perfect people work fol
them, running errandS and count
ing columns of figures.
Only trihes are always true
Every great and serious truth has
an diverse side which is also true
Whatever is may not ncccssar'
iIv be right, in spite of Pope; but
whatever it is. That is the man
point. And it is every man S JOB
to accept the is-ness and get down
to business.
Most men have the wrong To-
cation, have taken up the wrong
profession, have failed to improve
the opportunities for education
they had in youth, have not mar
ried the women ideally suited to
them, have not the money, influ-
ence and position they need to
show what s in them.
And they are of two classes.
One class sits around the loafing
places and tells it's woes, and
whistles, and pities itself. The
other plucks up, forgets it, takes
the situation as it is and makes
the best of things.
The genius is not the man who
never made mistakes, who had
his chance thrust on him, who
was endowed and all that; he is
the man who had no chance and
was not gifted, but who took the
raw material of life and fate as
he found it and made something
fine out of it.
The only perfect person you
will ever meet is the perfect fool.
The faultless-they are the big

FROM FLIES AND FILTH AND
FEVER TO FOOD.

Flies are disease carriers.
They live and breed in all kind
of filth.
Flies infect food and liquids b.
germ-laden feet.
Each female fly can lay 15'
eggs.
Flies should be kept out o.
dwellings. y"'~ Re
The presence of flies is a direc
evidence of careless housekcep
ing and the existence of filth II
some form about the premises;
Remember that when and where
absolute cleanliness prevails there
will be no flies.
Look daily after the garbage
cans. See that they are carefully
sprinkled with a disinfectant.
Look carefully after the cuspi.
doris; they require constant at
tention; they should always con-
tain a disinfectant.
Flies feast on tuberculOus sput-
I'M, and hover around cuspidors.
The specks of flies contain live
tubercle bacilli after they have
eaten tuberculous sputum, show
ing that the bacilli will pass
through the digestive tract of the
by in an active, infective state.
Flies carry on their mouths
and on their legs disease germs,
on which they have recently fed,
and then crawl over food, infect
ing it.
Keep flies from the sick, espec-
tally those i'll with communicable
or contagious diseases.
Don't forget that flies will car
ry the bacilli Of typhoid fever to
the food in the kitchen and din
ing-room. This is no conjecture.
The Spanish American War
proved this fact.
The great secret Of how to get
rid Of flies is cleanliness.
Screen all food.
Keep receptacles for garbage
carefully covered, and the cans
cleaned or sprinkled with oil,
lime, or some good disinfectant.
Cover food after a meal.
Screen all windows and doors,
especially the kitchen and dining
room.
Don't forget, if you see flies.
that their breeding place is near
by.
1t may be behind the door, un-
der the table or i'm the cuspidor:
if there is no dirt and filth there
will be no uies.
IL there is a nuisance in the
neighborhood write at once to the
Health Department.

CARE OF THE BABY IN
SUMMER.
Minor Ailments

A baby may be made uncom-
Portable and restless by various
causes which are readily removed.
Attention has already been called
to the fact that babies and young
children frequently suffer from
thirst. They should be offered a
drink Of water several times a
day, and particularly in hot
weather. When baby cries in
the night, a drink will often quiet
him, and send him to sleep.
Irritating clothing is at times
responsible for the baby's fretful-
ness. Wooden socks. or shirts, or
stiff capstrings are quite enough
to spoil his comfort, even if he is
well, and, in hot weather espec-
tally. a superabundance of cloth
ing is frequently responsible for
much real suffering.
Dress the baby in the lightest
cotton garments and keep him as
cool as possible. Do not be afraid
to let him have nothing on but his
diaper and one other thin garment
ON the very hot days.
Prickly Heat:
One of the troubles from which
a baby often suffers in summer is
prickly heat. This ailment ap-
pears as a fine red rash usually on
the neck and shoulders and grad
