The library extension committee 81
the State Federation of Woman,s
Clubs is urging upon public attention.
the importance of a statewide system
OF library administration for West
Virginia. Many sections OF the state
are sadly lacking in libarry facilities,
and such efforts as the federation has
made to supply that lack have only
shown the need Of the creation OF
some public agency to take up the
work carried on in most Of the other
states OF the union by library COM
missions. sis
Two bills have been prepared for
submission at the approaching session
of the legislature relating to the liz
brary work in the state. one of.those
bills empowers the proper authorities
In counties and municipa1it tiles to levy
q tax for the use and maintenance Of
free public libraries on approval Of
such action by majority Of the .yot-
|ers. The other bill creates a library
commission and gives 1t power to Or
ganiZe a travelling library service to
promote the establishment of free
public libraries and school libraries.
and to arrange for the. efficient CO.
operation Of all libraries Of q public
nature in the state.
The commission is to consist OF
the governor, the president OF the
state university, the superintendent Of
free schools and two members, either
men or women, TO be appointed by the
governor, No member of the COM

1.-THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE FLY

tVG S'hONSCO1r OF ne FLY
This is the first of series of ar
ticles TO be printed on this subject.
There are but few persons who
are acquainted with the peculiari.
ties OF the fly. The very import.
ant part which the fly plays In the
transmission of certain diseases To
man, has been recognized for only
comparatively short time. =
During the Spanish-American war
in 1898, fourteen out OF every one
hundred of our soldiers were the
victims Of typhoid fever. a disease
spread by the fly. and one out OF
every hundred died OF 1t. while
only one man out Of every hundred
was even wounded by Spanish
bullet.
Flies swarmed over the typhoid
infected focal matter in the pits
and then visited and fed upon the
food prepared for the soldiers at the
mess tents. In some instances where
lime had recently been sprinkled
over the contents Of the pits. fiies
were seen with their feet whitened
with lime, walking over the food.
II is possible for the typhoid germ
to be mechanically carried ~ ad.
herring to the fly or 1t can be carried
In the digestive organs and lie de-
posted with its excrement Not
only IL this pest mechanical car
rier Of infection, but 1t harbors dis
ease-producing bacteria In the in
terror of it's body for long periods.
Thus II may act rs splendid in
cubator for pathogenic bacteria, re-
tanning them in a living state for
months.
Flies have been found carrying
the germ which causes tuberculosis,
having picked 1t up from sputum
deposited by some person suffering
from the disease. The fly Ia like
wise a carrier of the germs OF chol-
era. diarrhoea and dysentery. Here
we have sufficient evidence at hand
why we should condemn the unsani-
tary and disease breeding fly.
In the southern states the result
OF its attack upon mankind has been
more greatly felt than in the north,
due in part to the longer period Of
warm weather and also to the mode
Of living OF the inhabitants of those
states.
Jacksonville. Florida, has material
ly reduced its typhoid death rate
by obstructing the usual path of
Infection from the open privy to the
doomed jnhabitant by the medium
