FLIES AND SICK BABIES.

The Bureau of Public Health and Hygiene of the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, in cooperation with the depart ment of health, has conducted an in-- vestigation into the relation between the presence of flies in houses and the occurrence of diarrhea in small chil- dren. It was desired to determine whether the house fly is the chief car rier of diarrhea or whether dirt in the home and artificial feeding are more deadly factors in this serious condition. The cases Investigated wered ivided carefully into hy-pro- tected group and a dy-exposed or con trol group. These groups were made as similar as it was possible to make them. The infants were visited every five days by nurses. The hy-exposed or control cases received all the in struction given in child hygiene work, but no special emphasis was laid on eliminating the house fly. In the pro-. tected group the greatest emphasis was laid on the absolute protection of the baby as far as possible from con tact with flies For the infant in the cradle, in the go-cart, on the bed and even in the arms the constant use of netting was insisted on. Over a thous- and yards of netting were distributed, among the protected families Some of the results of the study are now being published in order to emphasize it's ! lessons for thep resent summer. It was found that almost twice (1.9) as many infants were attacked by diarrhea among. dy-exposed as among the Unprotected infants. Apart from the influence of flies, it was found that almost twice as many infants were attacked by diarrhea in dirty homes as in the clean homes. The most inn portant factor. for child mortality however, was found to be artificial feding- Nearly two and a half GAO times as many infants were attacked by diarrhea among the critically fed as among the breast-fed, infants. The inf1uance of flies and dirt combined was found to be almost exactly equal to that of artificial feding: even in, reasonably good surroundings. Al most two and a half (2.4) times as many hy-exposed infants in dirty homes were attacked by diarrhea as were hy-protectdo infants in clean homes. The combination of dirt and artificial feding made life extremely. difficult for the infant, Considerably more than one out of two of them were attacked by diarrhea. Concret studies of this kind. says The Journal of the American Medical Association, are of great service in inpressing the fact that disease among children is not a, mysterious dfspensation, but the result of common factors: flies, dirt and artificial feding.

EARAT 1EAOHIngERY.

Much interest has been aroused hy the statement that Henry Ford 4s soon to put on the market a farm traetoe suited for werk on small earms-
 A great deal Of very ussful farm machinery has been perfected in ths last few years. Perhaps one rsason why the farmers seem slow in equip ping themselves with these appliazle1. is that each man feels he must have a complete set Of these maehines of his own.
 It is expensive business owning Q machine that may be idle all but a few months of the year. If farmers zrsL|s more systematic and better 4zaznea in the idea of co-operation, it would seem as if several farmers could club together to buy the machines that no one of them would feel like buying for his own use alone By little advance planning, they could arrange to take turns in using these Enac1sizfas As labor grows scarce and high. sons method of substituting the nad8nr for human muscle has to be studied out

THE COUNTRY CLUE MOVEMENT

During recent years thousands of clubs have been formed for enjoy nent of athletic sports and country life. To large extent these clubs are formed to provide grounds for the game of golf, but other sports and pastin1es ar eincIuded. Fresh air and invigorating sport have been prov1d- ed for a host of people.
 Like all other phases of American life, many of these eountry1clubs have their incongruous aspects. The hrst of them were quite simple. People went out there in their old clothes, played golf and tennis, studied botany, got up informal picnics and lived close to the. soil. i The typical country club of the 1arg- CT. cities today is 8 very different af- fair. If the members ever need their store togs and glad rags. it is when they go to the Country clubs where the swelIs of the town do congregate. Far far away are fled the nature lovers. Instead one sees richly gown ed women playing bridge for hand some prizes of silver ware. The men prance around in outing garments de- signed by the most select taiIors.
 It is natural enough for wealthy people to spend their money as they please. It is no one e1se's business if they do erect a hundred thousand dollar casino in place Of the simple old shed where the original golfers used to store their clubs. But many smaller and less wealthy places make a mistake in feeling that they must also play the game of country life in an equally costly and formal man ner.
 It is hard to keep any kind of club life simple and inexpensive. The more prosperous members become envious of the privileges of more elaborate organizati ons. Ten or twen- ty or fifty dollars additional for dues is nothing to them, and they can't see why it should be anything to other people.
 The popular athletic sports of the day need not be costly. A couple of hundred people almost anywhere who

ARM ABOUT HER
TOOK RING

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Many get good. advice. ask aid One night coming home with a girl friend, two nice-Iooking young men appeared going the same direction They said politely, Good evening, girls I falter good evening. .'' They asked if it was desirable that they could come home with us. We hesi- tated. z. They walked along beside us to home, nearby. They made an ap- pointment which was kept. One has been coming every Sunday night to see me. Last Sunday. he did not come or phone. One night we walked through the park. He put his arm about me and took off my ring. He is not coming any more. I do not know his address. A boy friend of mine is away. I expect to receive his letters. Ought I to start mine with My dear So-and-So'' or just 'fGr.'' or "Dear?" Am a fair writer?
 You are truly lucky to have gotten off with only your ring having been taken. No good comes to girls who speak to strangers or walk with those who are unknown to them. If the value of the ring warrants, you can describe him to an officer to recover it. Letters can start with Dear MT. So-and-So.''
