WOMEN ARE ACTIVE

The city of Chicago, ILL.,, conducted
crusade for the determination Of
flies last summer which was the big
gest movement of the kind the world
has seen, according to government
health authorities. The work was done
by the Clean Chicago federation, COM
posed of the health department, wom-
ems clubs, department stores, great
manufacturing concerns, the newspa-
pers, a physicians association and the
board of education.
In this crusade the women were es-
pecially active. They showed by their
enthusiasm and their tireless labor
that the subject Of fly determination
lies near the heart Of every housekeep-
er and that she knows the menace
which the fly holds over her family
especially her children.
We confidently expect that the
ladies in our town and surrounding
country will be just as eager to help
the cause of fly determination here as
the women of Chicago were there.
Wherever there has been a kill-the-fy
campaign the women and school chill
iren have had an important part.

needed to bring the dam water
through the conduits and into the
desert soil. The labor, to town dwell
ers, was terrific. And during the six
months that had passed Bessie had
been changing.
The old man, Jim Ross, incoming
about the camp, had little by little
become unbearable to her. Himself
an old gold prospector, he had found
nothing in all his life except few
worthless pockets; yet he had never
ceased to dream of the day when he
would make his fortune by some lucky
strike.
There had once been rumors Of
gold in those hills, but nobody had
ever found any. Day by day the old
fellow would set cut hopefully with
his assaying pan, and every evening
he would return with his hopeful
stories, which so Jared his daughter
in-law's shattered nerves.
It was a day later that the storm
broke. Old Jim Ross had come back,
late for supper, with the usual story.
II think I'll try our luck over at
Bald Mans Hill tomorrow" he said,
in his weak, senile voice. II never
seen a territory that looked so prom
ising There might be million dol
lars worth of gold in that bend Of
the gulch."
Bessie stood up and faced him,
regular virago, her shattered nerves
tense and quivering.
1--WE heard those stories BEFORE"
she cried. For the Lords sake go
and get your geld, you useless old
fool Go and find 1t and don't come
back till you've got It,"
The old man looked at her, aghast
at the sudden outburst.
"why, Bessie" he faltered, 81 didn't
know as you was sot against my find
ing gold. I tell you," he went on en-
Enthusiastically, there's gold in them
hills. Yes, sir" he continued, there
certainly ought to be mint Of gold
there, if we could only get at it,"
But Bessie had burst out of the
room, crying, and the old man, shak.
ing his head in perplexity, went slew
Iy to the clubhouse where he slept.
Edwin" said Bessie later, "the old
man viii have to go. That's all there
is to it. He's terrible! Talking about
his gold when heaven only knows how
we're going to live the next year. And
all our money sunk in this place."
She pressed her lips together vim
dictiveiy. Il won't stand for his talk
of gold!" she cried. He'll have to
go to the poorlouse." ,.k

nocent as a glass of whisky-and the
warm, clear, amber intoxicant GER
tainly doesn't display the misery
to be found in its depths. Yet he
probably is the more or less direct
cause Of hundred times as many
deaths yearly in the United States as
the alligator, the gila monster and the
rattlesnake. Wasps and centipedes are
harmless-and the deadly saurian and
reptiles mind their own business.
Preys on Ignorance.
The fly, on the contrary, butts into
everybody's business, spreading trou-
BILE as he goes. In the disguise Of
harmlessness he preys on ignorance
and carries into our homes the germs
of some of the most common and fatal
diseases that afflict this country.
This is the way he performs. The
fly feeds at a spittoon which has just
been used by a consumptive. On his
hairy feet and body he carries away
tuberculosis germs. Or he visits a
vault containing the excrement Of a
typhoid patient. Or he explores dead
animal and loads up with putrefaction
bacteria. In each instance, usually
he brings his poisonous presence into
our homes and rubs his filthy person
on the mouth Of the cream pitcher, on
the butter on the bread, or on the loaf
sugar-or on the lips Of baby asleep
in her crib.
Reading such things as this sickens
the person OF delicate stomach and is
disgusting to everyone. But you must
know the rotten truth for the protec-
ton Of yourself and your family. II
you really will appreciate just how
filthy and dangerous the housefiy is,
people Of the community and perform
such a cleaning as this town never
has seen. And you will keep it cleaned
up.
Army Camps Clean.
Have you ever visited regular
army camp, or even a state militia en-
campment? Do you know why the
sanitary officers take such elaborate
precautions to destroy all waste mat
ter-why all garbage, excreta, used
bandages, etc., are burned and the
toilet and garbage cans so carefully
covered? 1t is because our army peo-
pie learned some frightfully costly les
sons at Chickamauga and in Cuba dur
ing the Spanish-American war and in
the Philippines little later.
Thousands of our soldiers died of
typhoid fever and dysentery distributed
by flies. In fact more of the boys in
blue succumbed to disease than to
wounds afflicted by the enemy. How
did the doctors learn that the fly was
the real messenger of death? BY
clever scientific detective work There
was DR.. William Gorgas, now a gen.
eral, who with a highly trained corps
Of scientists traced the sources of
these diseases until they found the
fly to be the guilty distributor. Now
he's marked for death by the army.

He'd have been a sight better off
there than incoming round the shack

Ross sighed. He knew his wife was
not naturally hard, and yet Of late her
antipathy toward his father had been
growing more pronounced. She had,
as matter of fact, warmly seconded
his proposal that when they pulled up
stakes the old man should accompany
them.
At twenty-five Edwin Ross, year
married, had suggested to Bessie that
they should quit their life of hardship
in the western city and try their for
tune in the newly-irrigated lands of
Nevada. They had been lured by an
INSCRIPTIONS land agent. Fabulous
crops, he told them, could be raised
there. They moved, with their little
capital of five hundred dollars. And
their establishment began as soon as
they got out of the train and stared
about them at the barren land.
Irrigated it was, after a sort, but
the agent had said nothing of the

SAY TURKS SEIZED
AMERICAN SCHOOLS
Passengers on Oscar ii Tell
Plight of Missionaries.

American schools at Marsovsn and
Sivas, Turkey, have been com
mandeered for military purposes by
the Turks. and the missionaries in
charge have been compelled to aban-
don their work there, according TO a
party Of Americans who arrived here
Yesterday from the Orient on the Os-
car II. The Turks first gained pos
session of the buildings, they said, by
telling the missionaries that the
United States had declared war on
Germany and that, consequently. Tur-
key was at war with the United States.
When this justification for their
seizure of American property was
proved false they kept possession OF
the schools. worth about half a million
dollars, on the ground of military ne
cessity. The property was first taken
over IN May. when the submarine CON
troversy was at its height.
Among the other passengers was
Charles Hagemeister, who is returning
from a European business trip 10 his
home in Mexico. He told of seeing
the German battleship Hindenburg
riding safely at anchor two days after
the great naval battle in which she
was AT first reported sunk.

AIR PIPE IN SUBWAY

Tons of Asphalt Scattered About
Pedestrians in Herald Square.

Perald Square was subjected to a
miniature volcanic eruption during the
rush hours Yesterday morning, when a
compressed air pipe in the new sub
way excavations burst in three places,
ripping tons of asphalt and debris from
the street and dropping it on surround
ing buildings, the IL" structure and
pedestrians.
By some miraculous chance. nobody
was seriously injured in the accident.
Thousands of pedestrians. $50 work
men in the subway and passengers on
passing Sixth Avenue elevated trains.
all were sprayed by falling cement.
clay and pieces of iron and lead. AL
though scores OF pieces were Of great
weight, none Of them struck where they
did any considerable damage. II was
rot necessary TO take any Of those who
suffered from slight injuries TO hos
pitfalls.
One asphalt block the size Of piano
was hurled far above the thirty-fye
foot structure over the opening OF the
excavation in Thirty-fourth Street L
fell in the midst OF a crowd Of pedes-
trians. but struck none. Thousands
Of pieces OF cement struck the 81"
structure. and the tracks and ties for
blocks we're covered with a white mkt
ure OF stone and cement that gave the
impression of volcanic dust.
Fire lines were established. and the
crowds soon were dispersed by the po-
lice. The damage to drain pipes, gas
mains and underground wires was re-
paired during the day. Subway ex-
cavation work will not be delayed long
because Of tie accident.
