the helpless housewife, and yet she is
aware that flies carry disease in their
hairy feet. She knows that cases Of
typhoid have been traced to flies and
the physician informed her that the
summer complaint" Of her baby was
directly due to flies
1t is but natural that these insects
are transmitters Of epidemics and a
well known authority asserts that flies
are responsible for the majority OF
deaths among children. One prominent
physician has demonstrated that the
most common cause of inflntile pa
ralysis is the fly. And still mothers
are careless
only few days ago / noticed a
small child eating lollypop and the
flies were just swarming about her lit
tie face. The baby was in a peram-
buiator and could just as well have
been protected by piece of netting.
The other day l saw woman extract
a fly from a pitcher of milk. with the
remark, "oh. dear. how did this fly get
In here?' and her husband loosely
quoted. "a fly in the milk may mean
one of us in the grave and he was
not aware of the truth of his state
ment
1t has been estimated that flies kill
100000 people in this country every
year. and when one considers that
there Is nothing too filthy for a fly to
eat this is quite feasible. It costs the
United States $500. 600 annually to
fight the fly. but in order to effcctualiv
eliminate this pest the individual ef-

CAMPAIGN STARTS
Twenty Ladies to Solicit Contributions for Books.

The campaign for "a million dollars for million books for million sol diers started throughout the country last Monday. Connecticut's share of this sum is $65, ,000, and every town and city in the state is working in some way to contribute it's share. Posters have been distributed about the town, and the local committee, of which J. Henry Roraback is the direc tor, are planning to send out circular letters explaining the reasons for this campaign.
 On Saturday, twenty young ladies who have kindly given their services 10 the cause, will make house to house canvas, receiving any contribu- tions which may be given. H is fully appreciated that Canaan people have done much in contributing to the Red Cross and other funds, but it is just as important that every one do his share in supplying our soldiers and sailors with proper reading matter during his hours of liesure.
 II gave books; why do you want money for Libraries?" Because, while the solicitation of books and magazines has been prosecuted with vigor, it must be frankly admitted that this method has not brought the amount nor always the quality of books re- quired. It must be clearly understood that library is something more than collection of books. The library sys- tenn for our soldiers will consist not only of books, but of buildings and equipment and every other factor of modern library service-all under the direction of the organization, so mani festly the best fitted for this work, that it was commanded to undertake it by the United States government.
 By the present plan, no money for camp library purposes is being solicited by any organization other than the American Library Association. With the 100000 War Fund the Library Association will provide complete library system comprising national headquarters, branch headquarters i'll important centers throughout the United States, and active libraries in all places where soldiers and sailors are assembled.

CANAAN BOYS LEAVE
Last FarewelIs Said as Boys are
 Cheered at Station.

It is estimated that over 100 men, womeu and children gathered at th e station last Wednesday evening 70 say their final farewells to the six young men from North Canaan who left for the framing camp at AyeI, Mass. It was q noteworthy and inspiring send. off which the young men received, and one that will warm their hearts for many months to come.
 The Home Guard and Canaan baud marched to the station, where they waited until after the departure of the train. In the meantime the band kept up lively strain of music until just before the train left the station. The sight of the Home Guard at. attention and the men with uncovered heads. while the band played "The Star Spangled Banner" brought tears to the eyes of many Tn the large crowds about the platform.
 On their arrival at Winsted they went to the courthouse, where J. Clin. ton Roraback called the roll, and all of the 46 men answered to their name. The following morning Chairman Roraback again called the roll at the railroad station, all men answering to their name. This is record equaled by few districts. The delegation was then divided into two parts one half of the number were placed in charge of John R. Fuller and the other under Harry O. Norcross.
 A card received from John Fuller, Friday, from Putnam, stated they did not experience any difficulties in keeping the men all together and getting them on the right trains.

RED CROSS NOTES.

The townspeople and friends who have contributed to the Canaan A uxil- iary of the American Red Cross may be interested to hear from time to time of the disposition of the money in. trusted to them.
 From August seventh to September twenty first there have been purchased 5 bolts of outing flannel, costing $28 of which pajamas have been made, 8 bolts of muslin for bandages and hos. pital shirts, costing $72, 1900 yards of gauge for surgical dressings such as sponges, congresses and wipes, amount ing to $36 and 78 lbs. of wool costing $155, paraffin for trench torches, $2. 80 needles, tapes and sundries $5.
 This total amount of $298.80 shows that our small auxiliary is quietly but earnestly doing "its bit'.
 1000 trench torches have been sent to.Litchfeld.

POOR TRAIN SERVICE
New Time Table Shows Several
 Trains Have Been Dropped.

The train service at this town which has been declared inadequate, is made infinitely worse by the new schedule which went into effect on Sunday, September 23. Trains have been taken off on both the c. N. E. and N. Y. N. H. and Fl. R. k. which makes the poorest service for this part of the state experienced in some time.
 The public had much to contend with in regard to embargoes on both freight and express, and now they are practically forced to travel either early in the morning or late in the after noon, as it is impossible to go east on the 0. N. K. between the hours of s AT and 3:55. Business men who come to the town cannot be expected to come here for A day when they ordinarily would spend but few hours and pres sure should be brought to at least put the noon train to Hartford on the schedule. .t .
 The summer schedule of the c. N. K. called for four trs.ins out of Csnaan going west. The new schedule calls for three; the 4 ;l5 having been elimi- mated. The Sunday train which left at 5:50 has also been dropped. Going east the service is the same with the exception of the 7:40 Sunday train. Only one train, at 3:55, will be run on Sunday. =,
 On the Berkshire division from Ca- naan to Pittsdeld, the 12:27 Friday and Saturday express has been dropped, and the l2:57 Sunday train. To Bridgeport and New York the 2:00 o'clock local and the 7:o4 express have been discontinued. The Sunday service calls for two trains instead of three.

PUBLIC COURT TRIAL
Prominent Citizen Charged With
 Larceny of a Valuable Rooster.

For some time, it is alleged, one of our prominent citizens has been the happy possessor of a valuable Plymouth Rock rooster. He had no special quail. ties above roosters in general, except a degree of plumpness that has time and again excited the cupidity of epicures. Not far from the residence of the gentleman mentioned above lives an- other we'll known citizen who has an unconquerable appetite for poultry.
 One evening recently this rooster retired to his perch in the hen house as happy and contented as any rooster ip Canaan. The next morning he was missing. That day, the gentleman with the longing for poultry had roast rooster fer dinner. This may or may not be regarded as suspicious circum- stance, but there is other evidence that forms a connecting link between the hen house and his table. The re- suit is that he will be tried in public for the larceny of fowl, and his questionable attitude towards roosrers in general will be given an airing in the near future.
 The parties in the case are so promi- nent that it is feared no court room will hold the vast crowds desirous of attending the trial, so it will be held in Town Hall on Monday evening, Octo. Der 8th under the auspices of Methodist Episcopal Church for whose benefit the proceeds will be devoted. In other words, it will be Mock Court Trial, in which large number of our most prominent and popular citizens will participate.
 The committee having the affair in charge have engaged Col. A. V. New ton of Worcester, Mass, the veteran manager of these entertainments to attend to the details and personally conduct the trial. Col. Newton has had remarkable success in the leading cities of the country, and without doubt the Mock Court Trial will be here, as elsewhere, one of the most pleasing and successful entertainments of many seasons.

INTERESTING LECTURES
Many People Enjoy Addresses of Noted
 Orators.

The first of series of lectures, in the interest of the temperance cause took place in the park last Wednesday evening. Due to the large crowd who gathered at the station to witness the departure of the drafted men, 1t was later than the appointed time before Hon. James H. Woertendyke, of Cali. fonia, opened his address.
 While it is impossible to give an account of MT Woertendyke's lecture which would do justice to the way it was delivered, it is safe to say that all who attended left with the feeling that they had much clearer view of the temperance question than ever before Mir. Woertendyke is lawyer and he attacked the traffic in liquor from the standpoint of lawyer.
 Last Monday evening Father Eur cher, who is we'll known here, spoke at the Town Hall, before compsri- lively small crowd. Mrs. Keenan and Miss Kegler furnished music, and the audience joined in singing patriotic songs. Father Zurcher gave an interest ing review of the effect of alcohol upon the body, especially the nerves and blood. His lecture was worthy of much larger audience.
 Friday evening, Gustave L. Boch- ran secretary of the Connecticut State Temperance Union, and an officer of the State Federation of Labor, will give an address. MT. Bochman has worked his way up from the ranks and is reformed drunkard. He is an able orator and his version of the temperance question will be of interest to all, whether they intend to vote for license or not. Following this meeting he will speak at East Canaan.
