DIR. Small is an acknowledged
master of genuine platform work.
He is one of the class to which be-
longed those lamented spirits,
Cough, Talmage, Sam Jones,
Copeland, and De Motto. He has
am encyclopedia fund of informa-
ton, brilliant play of imagery,
an inexhaustible fund of humor,
wit and playful sarcasm. His
lectures are on solid themes of
timely importance, but his uni
que manner in treating them. af-
fords an entertainment of de-
lightful character. That accounts
for the prominence and enduring
popularity of DR.. Small with A

Flies Garry Disease

Get rid of the fly and reduce
the chance of sickness. DR.. +.
Il. Flint of the University of Flor
ida says that the fly is real dan
ger as well as troublesome and
dirty. Most transmissible dis
eases are carried by this insect.
The fly is scavenger. The
eggs are laid upon human and an
lmal excreta and all kinds of de-
caying matter. In this filth the
maggot lives and develops into a
fly, which may be the same one
that is so carefully fshed out of
the milk the next day. There is
always a chance that this fly has
come from place of filth infect
ed with disease germs. It's hab-
its make it splendid carrier of
such diseases as tuberculosis, ty-
lphoid, and dyscntary. A large
proportion of the deaths among
children under one year old are
/ the result of intestinal disorders
and diarrhoea which are carried
by flies.
In controlling flies use every
effort to keep covered all material
in which they breed This can
be accomplished on the farm with
little expense and time. Build
tight bin of heavy boards and
cover the top with removable
screening. Use this for a compost
heap and put all refuse material
INTO it at least every two days.
This way of saving manure will
pay for itself over the usual
wasteful way it is handled, by
preventing loss of plant food. Be
sure the privies are screened so
there is no chance of flies enter
ing.
Keep the flies out of the house.
Screen all of it if possible, but at
least the kitchen and dining
room Sticky fly paper is a great
aid in keeping down numbers. A
good fly poison which is not dan
gerous to animals is made of /
teaspoonful of formalin in a sau-
Ger of milk and water. The
United States Department of Ag-
riculture Washington, D. c.. issues
helpful bulletins on the various
means of controlling flies.

Twelve Health Rules for Our
Boys and Girls

OF course all boys and girls are
anxious to learn how to keep well.
Here are twelve simple rules
which the Louisiana State Board
of Health reprints, with the sug-
gestion that you not only read
them carefully but fasten them
on the inside cover of one of your
schoolbooks so you can read the
rules often and ask yourself how
many you are keeping and how
many you are breaking:
l. Sunshine-Sun yourselves,
your clothes and your rooms; it
will stop the growth of the germs
of sickness.
2. Milk-This is the best food
for growing children. Drink at
least three cups a day.
3. Clothing-Dress Ii G h | Y;
keep warm by exercise, play, and
deep breathing and not so many
clothes.
4. Dirt and Dust-These are
the cars and rails that carry dis
ease. Avoid them if you would
keep well.
S. Sleep-Sleep with all Win
dows open, top and bottom. Go
to bed early. Get at least nine
hours sleep.
6. Bathing-Bathe all over at
least twice a week, better once a
day.
7. Air-Be in the open air ev-
cry minute that you can. No in
side air is ever as healthful as
that of the outdoors.
S. Play-Play every day, win

Agrees With The Herald

The Punta Gorda Herald, in a
very interesting editorial, ex-
plains why it is unreasonable to
expect newspapers to air the lit,
tie differences that may arise in
any community, and why it is
very harmful to herald these
Family quarrels" to the outside
world. "The policy of the Her
ald," the paper says, lis to pre-
sent the bright side of conditions
in Punta /GOrda, and to ignore
any petty differences that may
exist among our people" That
is the correct policy for a newspa-
per to pursue, in order to be of
greatest service to its community.
The Herald adds; "Some of the
papers friends, however, think
it ought to tear the hide off of ev-
cry official of town or district a.
gainst whom any plausible COM
plant of neglect of duty or in
competence may be brought. :"
People continuously nag newspa-
pers to Jump on" this person or
that proposition or condition, but
it makes all the difference in the
world whose OK is gored. They
want the paper, as the Herald ex-
presses it, to "tear the hide off"

Do You Know That

There is no Federal institution
in the continental United States
for the reception and care OF
lepers?
Plague is disease of rodents?
Malaria is spread by special
mosquito?
House screening is a good dis
ease preventive?
Fingers, flies and food spread
typhoid fever?
Pellagra may be prevented OF

The United States Public Serv-
ice believes that the common tow

Children from sanitary homes

than those from dirty premises?
