The report from the Registrar of

clan or midwife present at the birth
of any child born in this state, shall
transmit within five days after such
birth a certificate of such birth to
the registrar of vital statistics. For
failure of doing so the fine for this
violation is $50, The board is 60
ing to make an investigation on
cases of this kind and any physician
or midwife guilty of this failure will
be prosecuted
All cases of refuse vaults who do
not conform with the sanitary code,
will have to completely remove same
and sanitary apparatus installed
thereof This order will be strictly
enforced.

KILL ENEMY OF BABIES
IN CAMPAIGN ON FLIES

prepared by the Chfldren's Bureau, United
States Department of Labor.)
No one likes to have single fly
and, much less, swarm of them buzz
ing about him, OF lighting on his food.
But in addition to being : nuisance,
the fly is also a real source of danger,
owing to the fact that he may carry
the germs of disease from the sick to
the well. Typhoid fever is known to
/ be distributed in this way, and 1t is
believed that other forms of Illness,
including diarrhea, are also carried
about on the hairy feet and legs of the
ordinary house or typhoid fly
On this account, 1t is especially the
baby who needs to be protected from
flies. Awake or asleep. he needs it.
His milk should be kept out OF their
reach. and his bed or his sleeping
room should be carefully screened
against them, If 1t is not possible to
have the whole house and the porch
screened.
The flies that get into the house IN
spite Of screens should be trapped.
poisoned or swatted, but far more eff.
fective than any of these measures Is
that of destroying the fly larvae before
they hatch into full-grown flies.
The favorite breeding place If the
| common house fly is in horse manure
In a pile Of a thousand pounds there
may be half million maggots ready
to hatch, unless they are destroyed in
the Iarval stage, as the eggs are
! called.
Various substances have been sug
gested for use upon horse manure in
| order to destroy the fly maggots
| Among these are iron sulphate, kero'
sene, chloride of lime, hellebQre and
| borax. Some of these are too expen'
| sive for continued use, and some, such
as borax, when used in too large quan-
titles, may be Injurious to the crops
| upon which the manure so treated is
! used.
The United States department OF
agriculture has recently recommended
powdered hellebore as cheap, safe
and effective substance for the treat
ment of manure. "One-haf pound vi
powdered hellebore mixed with ten
gallons of water is sufficient to kill the
larvae in eight bushels. or ten cubic
feet Of manure In most places helle'
! bore is obtainable in 10O-ppund lots at
a cost of II cents pound. This makes
the cost of the treatment little less
than seEen-tenths Of cent per bushel
of manure. A liberal estimate OF the
output of manure is two bushels a day
per horse"
After the summer has advanced, the
effort must be made to keep each indi
vidual home as free from the pest as
can be done with screens, fly papers
traps and swatters.
Garbage pals must be kept GOV
cred, and no refuse of any sort should
be allowed to accumulate about the
premises, to provide breeding and
feeding places As in most other
things, prevention is far better thar
cure; the time for preventive meas
ures to be most effective is in April
and May, when the fly crop is small
There are a gr~at many kinds OF ns
traps on the market. Such traps car
be made at home with little trouble
and ths department Of agriculture
Washington, will send directions apor
request not only for traps. but fol
methods of destroying the eggs be
fore they hatch into iies. "a home

London. Sept 18.-The future atti-
tude of Bulgaria continues to be the
most important question In the Balkan
situation The possibility Of Bulgarian
intervention on the side of the entente
powers seems to have passed. in view
of the territorial concessions made by
Turkey and the attitude of King Ferdi-
nand. but there still remains the prob

tain an attitude of benevolent neutral
ity or enter the war as an ally of the
Austro- German Turkish group.
