that everything Is clean. The kitchen
should be kept scrupulously clean, and
the result will be fewer flies and less
disease.
This inspection should take place
once a week. Every Sunday morning
English ships are carefully examined
by the captains and other officers. II
this were done in every household
there would be better health for all.
There should be an organization
against these insects, and this could
be accomplished if people would In
form their neighbors of the danger of
housefies. 1t is also essential that
children should know the danger of
flies and how t. guard against it.
Children should be taught by their
teachers the Importance of clean
school. Much illness will be prevent
ed, doctors bills will be reduced, the
health of all improved, if homes are
kept sweet and clean.

B Common Bethlehem Steel Slumps,
Ending with 3 Points Less.
CBy the international News Service.

CBy the international News seryiee.)
New York, Sept. s.-The stock mar
ket was like a weather vane today.
moving vagrantly up and down with
out any definite trend. The first hour
saw prices stiffen a bit under short
covering and some little bargain buy
ing. The second hour saw them cas-
ing on a trihe under the influence
Of a sharp raid against Bethlehem
Steel issues. The B common slumped
savagely, closing with a net loss of
points. The market closed unsteady.
During the first hour leading fea-
lures in strength were the tobacco,
shipping and steel shares. Tobacco
Products. United Cigar Stores. u. S.
steel, General Motors and American
and Cuban Sugar all participated in
the upward movement. The rails
held firm and for the most part were
neglected.
The wavering character Of the mar
ket was plainly evident in the second
hour when the entire list softened
when the raid on Bethlehem Steel
began. United States Steel lost a
point. the shipping shares fell OF
and some OF the minor Industrial
stocks slipped down easily. But the
feeling improved under the effect of
renewed firmness in Mercantile Ma
rine This was attributed to reports
Of not a little international rivalry
for control OF the International Mer-
camille Marine as the result OF i'm
pending Federal control.
