FLIES ARE CAUSE
OF MUCH ILLNESS

According to DR.. F. w. Kruger,
county health officer, the fly is re-
sponsible for the epidemic of intesti-
nal disease which is prevailing in
Richmond at the present time. DR..
Kruger inspected the Chautauqua
camp this morning and instructed the
officials in the use Of the proper
antiseptics to prevent the carrying of
infection by the flies.
Richmond physicians are reporting
a great deal of intestinal trouble, and
the number of flies and lack of pro-
lection against infection from them
on the Chautauqua grounds might
make the situation worse.
DR.. Kruger also condemned the
bucket of water and tin cup which
were being used by the speakers and
entertainers at ChautauQua. He or
dered that individual drinking cups
be provided.

too serious a proposition to be ap-
preciated now that a resume OF the
present situation brings forth the fact
that near Civil war prices" are being
paid for staple food stuffs right here
in Richmond.
Sugar, for instance, now quoted at
$3.50 barrel is bringing the same
price that featured Civil war days
back in 1862. And many other staples

high water mark of the days Of the
sixties"

Especially during the past year have
prices in food stuffs advanced Whole
sale and retail prices Of such common
staples as potatoes, cabbage, navy
beans, -four, lard and fruits have
doubled and even trebled in some in
stances during the past twelvemonth.

lated $500 to $3.50. Eggs are selling
