Your Attention, Please.

Island Pond, VT, Sept. II, 1915.
EDITOR of ESSEX COUNTY HERALD,
Island Pond, Vt.
DEAR SIR:-I noticed in your pa
per, some time ago, comment upon
the house fly. l now wish to call
your attention to a bulletin on ty-
phoid fever issued by the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company for the
use of its policy holders. The fol
lowing therein appears:
Files also play an important part
in carrying diseases from one to an
other. The fly as everyone knows
lives in filth. The body of the dead
animal, the manure pile and the
privy vault are its favorite haunts.
1t alights upon the sputum of a per-
son suffering with tuberculosis, up
on the discharges of a typhoid pa
tlent, only to carry this infected
matter to our milk and other food.
This scource Of contamination is par
ticularly likely to occur in places
away from large cities where sani-
tary facilities are not we'll develop
ed. For this reason the free use of
chloride of lime cannot be too highly
recommended as a disinfectant in
country districts and in all towns and
cities where municipal sewerage sys-
TENS have not been established.
In conclusion it should be remem-
bered that the complete conquest of
typhoid fever can be brought about
only by the general practice of anti
typhoid vaccination, by the use of
pure water and clean food, by the
proper disposal of sewerage, by the
screening of privies and food against
the invasion by flies, by the destruc-
ton of the fly and of its breeding
places, and by the observance of all
the rules and regulations that tend
to maintain proper conditions of
health and cleanliness.
The above quotation needs no COM
ment. The essential conclusion is
that places infested by house flies
are dangerous, and the time will soon
come when health officers will re-
quire strict supervision with a view
to eliminate as thoroughly as posi-
bic one of the flthiest and most
dangerous enemies of mankind.
Yours respectfully,
HARRY B. AMEY.

Pain? ?

There are two good reasons for
painting often-enough or even too
often. One, to look prosperous;two,
to be so.
Nothing does one more credit or
gives one more credit than paint,
supplemented of course by what
goes with it;and paint costs nothing.
True, the first cost is So or Sc a
gallon put-on; but it saves more
than that in the property; saves it
from slow going-down-not always
slow-it drops with jump when
water gets in on wood and iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing,
kept dry by paint
Better paint when It needs it.
Paint never goes-down in the sense
of being more profitable next year.

The Rosary.

The Idle Hour theatre will offer
the seven-reel Selig Red Seal Play,
The Rosary" on Tuesday, Sept. q,
as one of the big features of the
year. A more artistic and dramatic
photo-play could hardly be imagined
than this production by the Selig
POlyscOpe Company. 1t is based
upon the famous drama by Edward
E. Rose and tells the story of the
many trying events which fill the
life of Father Kelly. From child
hood he was told that his calling
was the church and his heart directed
him that way, but in early manhood
when young girl came into his life
he wavered for short time from his
determination. He won the battle
which ragged in his heart, however,
and devoted himself to the church.
Later in life boy the son of the
woman he loved-came to him and
Father Kelly cared for the boy as
though he were his own. The boy
grew to manhood and married. His
Wife's sister was ruined by worth
less fellow and in protecting the
girls rame the wife aroused the
husbands suspicion. A separation
followed and Father Kelly, heart
broken over the tragedy, did all he
could to bring them together. In
the end he was successful and hap
pineSs came into their lives again.
