All these flies and the cheese fly,

hovers about fruit juices and cider

And as IL crawls organisms of infec-
ton drop in its tracks from off it's
hairy legs, or from its mouth.
The range Of flight Of house flies
ordinarily Is not great. They seldom
travel more than half mile from the
breeding place, unless carried by
winds. and usually remain within two
hundred or three hundred yards Of
their point of origin. And it's the

WHEN MOTHER WAS A GIRL
She Was Just the Same as Her Ultra
Modern Daughter in the
Way of Gaddinu.

Mother finally became tired of the
way daughter was acting, according
to writer in the Fort Worth Star
Telegram, and she said to her: "You
never do anything but CAD about.
When was your age 1 tried to take
some of the work off my poor moth
ers back. 1 didn't want to spend all
my time with some silly, giggling girl
like that chum of yours" After lis
tening to this, daughter went to grand
ma and said to her: "YOu must have
had an awfully easy time when NAM
ma was growing up. She stayed at
home almost all the time, and helped
you with the cooking, milking, wash
ing and other work" Then said grand
ma: "She helped me with the work ?
I'd like to know when she helped
me. Day and night, week in and week
out, she was running around with
some silly girl, and she never once
turned her hand to help me with any
thing. 1 made every stitch of her
clothes, did all her washing and ironed
every rag she ever wore. Now, when
was a girl 1 really worked. In my
time girls didn't run around like they
did in your mothers day."

FALLING NOT CAUSE OF DEATH
Theory That Heart Stops Beating Be.
fore Body Touches the Ground,
Is a Mistake.

1t is quite a mistake to think that
when a person falls from a great
height his heart stops before even his
body touches the ground. Breathing
may be suspended for a few minutes,
but if artificial respiration is applied
at once, life can be restored in many
cases. This was proved in Chicago
when a girl fell a distance of 200 feet,
with no more serious results than
some fractured bones and few in
ternal injuries. She compares her
sensations while falling to the faint
ness one feels when travelling down
wards in a jerky elevator. 1t was
only in the moment of landing that
she lost consciousness. Doctors as.
sert that such accidents would not so
often prove fatal if artificial respira-
ton were more generally tried. Just
because the patients pulse is not beat
ing it is a fatal error to think he
must therefore be dead. Treat him
as you would a man rescued from
drowning, and in nine cases out of
ten you will save his life.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

Falling in love doesn't lower
an egOtist's opinion of himself.
Every man knows what to do
with the things he hasn't got.
Even a sure-thing gambler is
apt to lose in the matrimonial
game.
Almost any pretty girl can
bring out the Stiffness in a mans
makeup.
If a man could only discover
why a woman is a mystery she
wouldn't be.
At the age of seventeen a girl
knows more about love than a
man ever will know.

Serum for Asphyxiation.

Several physicians of the Johns Hop
kins hospital of Baltimore, Nd, are
experimenting with a serum which they
are said to have used with success in
the laboratories in restoring cases of
asphyxiation and drowning in animals
several hours after life has been prac-
tically extinct. There appears to be
one drawback in the results thus far,
however, in that in the majority OF
instances there have been serious af-
ter effects such as high blood pressure
or hardening of the arteries.

Hat trimming is not generally re-

war, yet many wounded soldiers at
the Canadian sports day at Grasmead

themselves so talented in the handi-
craft that after the victory is won, in
