Consumption, Germs
Spread BY Flies

The great white plague-tuberculo-
sis-plain, deadly consumption OF the
lungs, causes more deaths than any
other disease in the United States.
Flies are a big factor il the spread OF
this frightful ailment. To go into de-
tails of the subject is very disgusting,
but disgust will not kill anyone. Con-
sumption will, and flies help.
Assuming that bedridden consump-
tives deposit their sputum only in
closed vessels which flies cannot en-
ter, consider the careless consumptive
on the street. He has coughing
spell, raises germ-laden pus from his
infected lungs and spits into the high
way. Flies Immediately swarm on
this sputum, feed, cover their padded,
hairy feet with the stuff and buzz into
the nearest open window or door.

RECORD OF LONG SPEECHES
Given Opportunity for States
men Gifted With Words.

Under the rule of unlimited debate
in the senate of the United States,
several speeches have been delivered
that lasted longer than the twelve
hours of the address in the Austrian
parliament. But these speeches were
Interrupted by calls for Quorums and
sometimes by colloquies with other
senators. These Interruptions some
times permit the senator holding the
floor to leave the chamber for few
minutes during the calling of quo
rum. The longest record of speaking
uninterruptedly in the senate was
made by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah,
who, without interruption, spoke II
hours and rs minutes on the night of
January 27-2S, 1915, in opposition to
the ship purchase bill. With inter-
ruptions permitted by the rules, the
long-distance record was made by Sen
ator Robert II. La Palette of Wiscon-
sin, who held the floor for IS hours
and 80 minutes, on May 1880, 1908,
against the Aldrich-Vreeland currency
bill. The late Thomas H. Carter OF
Montana, when he was in the senate,
delivered a humorous address. On

WISE HOSTESS
Won Her Guests to Postum.

"Three great coffee drinkers were
my old school friend and her two
daughters.
"They were always complaining and
taking medicine. / determined to give
them Postum instead of coffee when
they visited me, so without saying
anything to them about it, I made a
big pot of Postum the first morning.
Before the meal was half over,
each one passed up her cup to be re-
filled, remarking how fine the coffee
was. The mother asked for third
cup and inquired as to the brand Of
coffee I used. l didn't answer her
question just then, for heard her say
a while before that she didn't like Pos
tum unless it was more than half
coffee.
After breakfast I told her that the
coffee she liked so well at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked it was because it was properly
made.
Il have been brought up from a
nervous, wretched invalid, to fine
condition Of physical health by leav-
ing off coffee and using Postum.

world from coffee slavery to Postum

men it was inevitable that some should
be disease carriers. The waste matter
which they threw off acted as an in
cubator for the bacteria which it car
ried. Flies and other insects, but es-
pecially flies, swarmed around the filth
sinks and fed. They were frightful
annoyance at meal time, and they
were the army's most deadly enemy
for they distributed dangerous germs
among all the men. AS a result fever
and bowel diseases became almost an
epidemic. AS nation we were taught
a solemn lesson about the menace of
insects. Our army medical men learned
more in the Philippines, in Cuba, in
Porto Rico and in the Canal Zone
about the relation of flies, mosquitoes
and lice to the spread of disease than
had previously been learned in two or
three thousand years.
Cleaner Than Homes.
Visit any of our army encampments
today. They are kept cleaner than the
average housekeeper keeps her prem
Uses. Special attention is given to the
sanitary disposal of garbage, of sew
age and of other waste matter coming
from the camp hospital. Elaborate
means of protection against flies, mos
Quitoes, lice and bedbugs are taken
but flies are considered the most filthy
and dangerous from the medical point
Of view.
1t is safe to say that If this COM
munity should cooperate and act at
once so as to clean up the town thor
oughly, with special attention given
to the breeding places of flies, the
average of serious illness here would
be reduced so per cent for the months
Of June, July, August and September.
Such a cleanup campaign is not i'm
possible. 1t means the spraying of
manure piles with a simple kerosene
solution every day or so, frequent re-
moval of manure piles, screened
toilets, covered garbage cans and the
use of fly swatters and fly paper by
everyone.

Ho.o TO Make Fly Paper

The use of sticky fly paper is better
than the use of poison to trap flies.
Once a fly alights on sticky paper he
is pretty certain to stay there until
he dies. If you place saucer contain
ing poison fly paper and water in the
dining-room window, the flies drink
the deadly stuff but they do not die
Immediately. They may not die until
they reach the cream pitcher. If you
want to make your own sticky fly pa
per, boil together equal parts of castor
oil and resin and spread the substance
on tough paper before it cools.

Sudden Death
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

NAuSeO py UlSe3Se Oh inc NlQueyS
The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
Rrterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease. or disease OF brain
or lungs.
It is q good insurance against such
. risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery Of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, WORKOUT
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.

Make War on
Flies: Ward
off Disease

In order to make this community a
war on the house fly at once. If we do
not slip UP on him and strike the first
hard smashing blow, he is going to
come at us in overwhelming numbers.
How may we successfully fight the
fly? By destroying or removing his
breeding place, the manure pile, re-
moving all garbage and making the
privy vault fiy-proof, and by keeping
our yards and alleys clean. We must
screen our houses and use the swatter
and sticky fly paper without let-up.
Where is the fly born? In filth, gen.
orally in horse manure and outhouses,
sometimes in the flesh Of dead and rot
ting animals-never in any clean,
wholesome place. The life cycle OF
the fiy's birth runs about ten days
from the time the egg is laid until the
mature insect is born. A maggCt is
Matched from the egg. The maggot be-
comes pupa "a state corresponding
to the tadpole state in frog life), and
the pupa becomes the mature fly that
helps to make life miserable for us in
warm weather.
Flies Live in Filth.
Where does the fly live? Where
there is filth, and there is nothing too
filthy for the fly to eat. He eats clean
food also, but his special delight seems
to be wallowing in filth, then buzzing
into the house and wiping his feet and
wings on substances you are about to
eat. Watch him and see for yourself
Think of the most sickening, dis
gushing places where you have seen
flies. Think Of them until your palate
is light and the pit of your stomach
ticklish. For if you think hard
enough about this dangerous, nasty
insect pest you will help fight his
whole tribe with all your might.
The fiy's favorite place of residence
is in the manure pile, the privy-vault,
the garbage can and the spittoon. But

Policewomen Prove Practical.

London policewomen have justified
their "unfeminine" undertaking by the
convincing means of real service. Ac-
cording to a London dispatch, Eng
land, after six months trial, is really
beginning to like them, though at first
there was violent opposition to the
enterprise. Incidentally, these new
public servants are winning favor, not
so much by force as by tact and per-
suasive powers. They have been es-
pecially successful in quieting panic
stricken crowds during Zeppelin raids,
in dealing with drunken and fighting
soldiers, and in calming excited wom-
en- and children in the streets.

SplttOOn he makes an excursion INTO
the kitchen, dining room and bedrooms
of the nearest residence.
He Breeds Disease.
What does he do in these places of
exploration? He wipes his feet on the
food, bathes in the milk, or browns in
it, and annoys the sleepers. If there
is sick person around, consump-
tive Tor instance, he alights on the
patients lips or invades his sputum
cup and takes on load Of deadly
germs. This he distributes on the
food, on the baby's lips or on your own
if you are not very careful to shoe
him away.
A busy deaths head is the house fly.
He killed more American soldiers in
the Spanish-American war than the
bullets of the Spaniards, and was the
direct cause of much of the typhoid
fever in the United States last year.
He cannot be ignored safely.
The only way this town can effec-
tually exterminate flies is to make an
organized effort. Our municipal au-
thorities and health officers shorld
map out campaign Immediately and
enlist the active aid Of everybody In
the community.

Don't Ignore
Fly Menace
This Season

Many persons do not realize what a
serious menace the fly is to the health
of this community. 1t is characteristic
of the average man to ignore this kind
of danger until it threatens his own
family. ooh, the fly may be the means
of carrying a fatal disease to some
puny person." you reason, perhaps,
"but there's no danger of his bringing

That is a characteristic attitude of
soldiers. Rather, it used to be so.
Doubtless you remember the awful toll
Of life taken among the soldiers en-
camped at Chickamauga during the
Spanish American war. If you do not
you can easily look'it up. Those boys

the death of most of those stricken
with typhoid and dysentery.
