TIE FLY AND EPIDEMICS.
Little Talks on Health ard Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., Ii. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Reams have been printed about
the danger from the house fly.
Despite all that has been said it
is self evident fact that people
do not understand how real is
the danger from these pests. If
they did, a single season would
be sufficient to wipe out the dan
gerous nuisances. Get people
once understand the part that
the fly plays in the transmission
of disease, and they will look up
on anyone who maintains a con-
dition which breeds them as a
public enemy to be summarily
dealt with.
There is much wasted advice
about swatting the fly and trap
ping the fly. What we must
learn to do is to exterminate it
by doing away with all breeding
places.
Stables with manure piles that
are left for weeks, and garbage
dumps, and unscreened and care
lessly constructed outhouses are
the sources of the fly pest. I'm
pleasant as this may be to con-
slider it is true. Any community
which will be able to free itself
from flies will eliminate these Of
fensive features.
While it has not been definite
ly proven what the fly has to do
with infantile paralysis, we have
good reason to believe that it
takes a part in the spread of the
disease. That they can, and do
carry the germs of typhoid fever
and other diseases we know. 1t
is a wise mother who screens her
baby's crib.
Thousands of children under
one year of age die annually who
would be saved if the fly were
eliminated.

Two Accidents.

Last week, two autos turned
turtle on the mountains near Nc
Connellsburg. One was on Scrub
Ridge, and one was on the Cove
mountain on the east side near
the top. No one was seriously
hurt in either accident. Care
less driving was supposed to be
the cause in both cases. John
Barlevcorn is strongly suspected
as having been a passenger in
one of the cars. State police are
riding the Lincoln Highway west
of this county, but we believe
the Bedford and Fulton county
mountains would afford as much
game" for these men as would
any part of the Highway. Driv-
ers naturally a little light in the
upper story try to cut too many
smart capers on these mountain
curves.

funeral took place at her fathers
home on Monday afternoon. and
interment was made in the Ev-

For more than two years Miss
Blanche had diabetes. and on the
evening before her death, she
became very i'll, soon became un-
conscious, and remained in that
state until death came. She was
a devoted member of the M. E.

Sabbath school and in the Ladies'
societies conn ected with the
church to which she belonged.

THAT HARVEST HOME.
Annual Picnic Affords Opportunity fer
Exchange Of Ideas, Keeping Step
With Inevitable Progress.

Common picnics, family reun-
ions, and social gatherings of all
kinds are highly important func-
tions in the life of any communi-
ty; but in a distinctly agricultur-
al district, a meeting like that
held in Sloan's Woods, last Fri
day, carries with it infinitely
greater possibilities than that of
partaking too freely Of a good
dinner. The possibilities for CO.
operation cannot be measured.
Last Friday, speakers Jackson
Lightly, and Reisner sounded the
keynote of the situation when,
with evidently no, knowledge of
what their fellow speakers inten-
ded to say, they each pointed out
the rapid changes in world mat
ters that reach out and down in
to the lives of all classes of indi-
viduals, and in no case having
more direct effect than upon
farming communities. I h e
wheels of progreos cannot be
blocked by anything one class
may elect to do-all must either
move with that progress or suf-
fer. Education, organizat on,
and cooperation are the three
stays upon which rests the future
of rural communities. Rev. Jack
sons reference to the present age
as one of reconstruction was
we'll put. Lighty's reference to
the hornets nest was so apt that
we repeat it below, and Reisner's
reference to the necessity of an
education fitted into the present
day conditions exactly.
Mr.. Lightly endeavored to Illus
trate his and other farmers help
lessness in matters of legislation
as compared with the power ex-
erted by organized business in
other lines. He compared the
farmers to bees, butterflies, and
all kinds of insects flying or liv-
ing carelessly, though apparently
happy, along the roadsides. A
colored driver who was an ex-
pert with his whip, amused him
self for miles by shooting" all
these little creatures with the
snapper Of his whip neverm miss
ing bug, bee, fly or other living
object at which he struck. FL

FROM THE FRONT.
Engineer howard IOke Writes From
NOgales, Arizona Under Date Of
August fourth.

August fourth.
We were sent from Ell Paso
Tor, rather Fort Bliss which, is a
suburb of Ell Paso) to Nogales
(No-gollies) on the 10th of July.
Our orders were to proceed with
all possible haste. We received
the orders at Z O'Clock in the eve
ming and before midnight we
were all packed up" and on the
train ready to pull out. We were
commended very highly by the
commander Of the Division for
our quick work. We broke camp
during a bad sand and wind
storm, and it might be noted in
passing that engineers in the
army require more time to move
than any other division, owing to
the large quantity Of equipment
carried. So, in making this time,
we received another star in our
crown"
We are laying out a camp site
here for General Pershing when
he returns from Mexico. Our
boys are working hard and have
solved problems that on sight
would seem impossible to the un-
trained army engineer.
We build bridges with ca
pacity Of fifteen tons without
using nail or a bolt. All timbers
are lashed with cable. Our work
is composed of building roads,
laying pipe lines, and drains,
the erection Of shower baths, etc.
While it is hard work, it is very
interesting. OF course, one COM
pany of ninety men cannot do all
the work, so we really do only
the overseeing and the other
troops, which comprise the mill
tia of California, Utah, Idaho
and Connecticut, do the labor.
We are also surveying and
mapping the country in this sec
ton. This work, which is very
accurate must all be done by US
without help. We don't know
how long we will be kept here.
We may be sent back to Texas
or some other place soon, as we
received orders to-day to use all
perishable food as soon as posi-
bic, and all material which could
not be moved to be used in two
weeks.
| wish you could see the camps
along the borders-how neat and
sanitary they are kept; also, the
quantity of provisions required
to equip an army of a few thous-
and troops. | am able now to
understand the report of the
European War costing so many
millions a day. And the equip
? ment here is only the primary
equipment.
Only wish | could tell you of
the work that is going on here,
but that is something can re-
veal to no one. | never could
understand how things were
planned, and all arrangements
made for the movement of an
army, weeks or even years be-
fore it moved. But as the en-
gineers are in charge of all this
| now understand how it is done.
Would like to tell you all about
our life as individuals, but it
would fill many pages.

ceipt of magazines from C. j.
