"FIv COMPLAINT"

Summer complaint" is what they
used to call the intestinal infections
that carry off so many thousands OF
babies each summer; but now doctors
often call it Fly complaint" for they
are frequently caused by common
house flies, which carry the disease
germs to baby's mouth.
The Panama Canal zone was once
so unwholesome a place that white
men could not live there for any
length of time. The government ex
terminated flies and mosquitoes and
now the zone is as free of disease as
any place. Is T. Ut
Screen your house early. Keep out
all the flies you can, swat every ny
that sneaks in, and destroy all refuse
heaps that might be breeding places
for flies.

screening a house, and may save a
life. too-Kansas City Star.

Owed -Eurs Cause Skin Diseases.

Cases of skin disease caused by
dyed furs have become so common
that DR.. George Manghill Olson of
Minneapolis urges, in the Journal of
the American Medical association,
that the use of the dye called par
aphenylendiamin and known to the
trade as paramine, ursol, ETC., be pro-
hibited by law. All the cases report
ed are traceabIe to furs dyed brown
or black with this dangerous deriva-
tive of anilin.
The trouble comes generally on the
neck where the fur collar has been
in contact with the skin, and appears
often after the fur has been wet by
rain, snow or the breath of the wear
er, or after the wearer has had a, close
shave. The black pony coats worn
by women are the worst offenders, as
all of them are dyed with parapheny'
lendiamin. It's presence can generally
be detected b. examining the roots Of
the hairs, which will show here and
there an unnatural brick-red color.

MEAL-TiME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often 1t is tea or coffee.
It is better to have some delicious,
hot food-drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them. .....
A Yorkstate lady says: Il used
coffee many years In spite of the con-
viction that it injured my nervous sysI
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting a friend was
served with Postum and / determined
to get a package and try 1t myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
ly colored beverage. Since l quit cor
fee. Postum has worked wonders for
me.
my husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking conee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.
"You may be sure ! find 1t great
comfort to have a warm drink at
meals that / can give my children,
with a clear conscience that it will
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"

Shoots Alleged Betrayer
After She Was Cast Aside

Baltimore, Sept. 14.-Driven to des-
peration, she claims. by thoughts of
her betrayal, Miss Sari Conway shot
j. Leland Kemper, '32 years old, in
the cellar of his home, in the Terrace
Apartments. Kemper is in Maryland
General Hospital with three bullet
wounds In his body, but has chance
to recover.
The shooting took place late last
night after Miss Conway had waited
an hour and half for Kemper With
a small revolver she chased him to
the cellar of the apartment house and
opened fire when she believed he was
trying to escape. According to her
story, she was introduced to Kemper
by mutual friend and fiattered by
his attentions, was induced to visit
him at his apartments. At this time,
she declares, she had received atten-
tions from no other man.
Miss Conway said that on two diff
ferent occasions Kemper had taken
her to q physicians office, where
operations were performed, and her
refusal to suffer a third operation
angered the man and he threw her
aside.
kemper was placed on the operating
table. He was still conscious and
when he heard the girl tell some of
the hospital attendants that he had
promised to marry her and she had
shot him because he failed to do so,
he raised on one arm and cried out:
You're q liar!"
