DEATH IN EMPTY TIN CANS
Punch Holes in Bottoms and Save
Lives, Says United States

Washington, D. c., April 1s.-The
United States Public Health Service
announces that the tin can is a men
ace. An official bulletin says:
Malaria experts of the United Sta
tes Health Service have found that
discarded tin cans containing rain
water are breeding places for the mos
quito, which is the sole agent in
spreading malaria.
"a hole in the bottom of the empty
can might have resulted in the saving
Of human life. Certainly it would
have assisted in preventing a debilit-
ating illness. Empty tin cans have
no business about the premises any
way, but If we must so decorate our
back yard let us see to it that the
can has hole in the bottom"

BRAVE OFFICE BOY
is HERO IN BATTLE

(By Wilbur S. Forrest, United Press
Correspondent
London, April 20-There has just
reached London the story of a S. a
week office boy. 10 years old, who
died a hero among the brayest of the
brave of King Georges finest on Gal
ipoli peninsula.
1t is a story to thrill the heart Of
every office boy in the United States,
this recital of what happened to Cyril
Cook after he left the drab surround
ings in the dreary office of big Pail
Mall firm and hearkened to the or
der: "Charge!" and forgot the lordly
Overclerk's bumptious summons;
"Boy!"
Less than two years ago Cyril Cook
was a typical office boy with large
Pail Mall firm. At the outbreak of
war he misrepresented his age to a
recruiting sergeant and joined the

army. Early in 1915 his regiment was
sent to the Dardanelles.
A letter to the boys parents in East
Finchley tells the story. A comrade
detailed how the youngster fought in
practically every important engage
ment.
Twice he surprised his officers by
bringing in Turks he had captured at
the point of the bayonet
He had undertaken many dangerous
outpost duties and his conduct
throughout all engagements had won
him high praise from the command
ers.
According to his comrade, the for
mer office boy was in line for decora-
ton. He was killed December 18th;
shot through the head
