by coming in contact with the dis

LIABLE TO BECOME cHoKED
Trouble 10 Likely to Occur When AMI
mails Attempt to Devour Vege-
tables Without Mastication.

CBy H. S EAKINs. Colorado Station.)
OF all animals on the farm, cattle
are, perhaps, the most liable to be-
come choked. Choking is most liable
to result from attempting to swallow
without mastication, carrots, turnips,
potatoes, apples or sugar beets. Cat
tie frequently choke from chewing
leather, boot heels, old rags and all
sorts of unseemly things which could
not be digested II swallowed, and the
practice indicates depraved appetite.
In such cases, II the services OF a
veterinarian cannot be secured the
owner will have to do the best he can
alone. and the things that are usually
done first should not be done at all.
Attempting to pour water down the
throat usually results in most of it
going into the lungs, and the result
is death OF the animal, that might
otherwise have been saved.
A case of turnip choke came under
observation recently. A sharp-pointed
broomstick was thrust down into the
throat in an effort to push the turnip
downward, and the animal died from
the injury. Less heroic efforts will
usually relieve the animal. Whatever
Is attempted to relieve the sufferingg
animal, do not try the drench or the
broomhandle.

Consumption Germs
Spread by Flies

The great white plague-tuberculo-
sis-plain, deadly consumption of the
lungs, causes more deaths than any
other disease In the United States.
Flies are big factor in the spread of
this frightful ailment To go into de-
tails of the subject is very disgusting,
but disgust will not kill anyone. Con-
sumption will, and flies help.
Assuming that bedridden consump-
tives deposit their sputum only in
closed vessels which flies cannot en-
ter, consider the careless consumptive
on the street. He has a coughing
spell, raises germ-laden pus from his
infected lungs and spits into the high
way. Flies Immediately swarm on
this sputum, feed, cover their padded,
hairy feet with the stun and buzz into
the nearest open window or door.

FLIES LAY eggs IN MANURE
Stable Dung Should Be Sprayed
and Removed Often, Says
Sanitary Specialist.

"The most effective method OF con-
trolling flies is by preventing fly
breeding" says DR.. w. A. Evans. an
eminent health authority and publ
cist. "As a rule this means that no
collection Of moist manure is to be left
accessible to flies for as long as .
week during hot weather.
Fly eggs and larvae live for a week
in hot weather in moist manure. There
fore, II manure is hauled away and
spread oftener than once a week 1t
will not breed flies. The advantage OF
a daily removal is that it means nc
manure boxes, manure pits or manure
piles, and practical experience proves
that give q stable an inch and it takes
an ell.
"The only places that have entirely
conquered the fly nuisance remove
manure daily. The only manure re.
ceptacles are small and portable. If
prompt removal is not possible the
next most effective procedure is treat
ment with chemicals.
THE methods of treatment advised
by authorities are with borax, or cole
mantle, or sulphate of iron. II the
amount of manure is small and good
deal Of ground is available, spreading
in thin layers on the ground at inter
walls of three days or less is feasible
and efficient"

Make War on
Flies: Ward
Off Disease

In order to make this community a
better place to live in, we must declare
war on the house fly at once. If we do
not slip up on him and strike the first
hard smashing blow, he is going to
come at us in overwhelming numbers.
How may we successfully fight the
fly? By destroying or removing his
breeding place, the manure pile, re-
moving all garbage and making the
privy vault fiy-proof. and by keeping
our yards and alleys clean. We must
screen our houses and use the swatter
and sticky fly paper without let-up.
Where is the fly born? In filth, gen
orally ir horse manure and outhouses,
sometimes in the flesh of dead and rot
ting animals-never in any clean,
wholesome place. The life cycle OF
the 1y's birth runs about ten days
from the time the egg is laid until the
mature insect is born. A maggot is
Matched from the egg. The maggot be-
comes a pupa "a state corresponding
to the tadpole state in frog life). and
the pupa becomes the mature fly that
helps to make life miserable for us in
warm weather.
Flies Live In Filth.
Where does the fly live? Where
there is filth. and there is nothing too
filthy for the fly to eat. He eats clean
food also. but his special delight seems
to be wallowing in filth, then buzzing
into the house and wiping his feet and
wings on substances you are about to
eat. Watch him and see for yourself.
Think of the most sickening dis
gushing places where you have seen
flies. Think of them until your palate
is light and the pit of your stomach
ticklish For II you think hard
enough about this dangerous, nasty
insect pest you will help fight his
whole tribe with all your might.
The fly's favorite place of residence
is in the manure pile, the privy-vault,
the garbage can and the spittoon. But

pecially flies, swarmed around the filth
sinks and fed. They were frightful
annoyance at meal time, and they
were the army's most deadly enemy
for they distributed dangerous germs
among all the men. AS result fever
and bowel diseases became almost an
epidemic. As nation we were taught
a solemn lesson about the menace OF
insects. Our army medical men learned
more in the Philippines, in Cuba, in
Porto Rico and in the Canal Zone
about the relation of flies. mosquitoes
and lice to the spread of disease than
had previously been learned in two or
three thousand years.

WANT TO CHANGE
THE CHURCH CREED

An action to change the creed of
the church was taken Wednesday in
Canton, Ohio. by the National Doc
trinal Congress of the Christian
church, following a spirited debate
on the subject by Rev. S. S. Lappin,
of Cincinnati, and Rev. Charles Nor
rison, of Chicago. The question at
stake was whether persons who had
received baptism in churches which
do not practice immersion should be
admitted to the Christian church
without receiving that ceremony.
Lappin termed the unimmersed plug
ged nickels" and corn thieves,
while Morrison asserted that church
which would not receive unimmers-
ed from other churches were "sin.
full" They called each other "falsi
