meat and fish. Twenty-Five per cent Of
flies breed In manure heaps.
Besides the diseases mentioned flies
haze been brought to the bar on in
dictments for having spread cholera,
lockJaw, trachoma granular lids),
anthrax (the stable fly is here guilty..
and something like a dozen more
germ diseases. The ordinary fly may
swallow the eggs of tapeworms and
other intestinal parasites, and then
distribute those eggs where they may
do hurt to humankind.
Before considering other insects
had better state more clearly just how
these pests perform their part in dis
ease dissemination. The germs may
stick to the bodies of the insects. Or
the germs may be eaten by the insects
and deposited upon human food and
drink with their excreta. Or the IN.
sects may eject the germs from their
mouths upon the skins of unclean,y
people who do not battle regularly.
Or the insects may die after eating
the germs; and the bodies of the for
mer may fall into the food; or the
dead insect bodies may dry up, crum-
BILE, be spread in dust and be either
inhaled or injected by human beings.
Or the insects (such as the mosquito)
may inject into the host with their
sting diseased blood which they have
previously sucked from a previous
sufferer (such as malaria patient).
m Mosquito Fever.
Doctors prefer to speak Of malaria
as mosquito fever, for, as everyone
now knows, 1t is the species of mos
quito called Anopheles, which Is sole
ly responsible for the propagation of
this disease.
Anopheles breeds In still water, In
moist sand or moss, In pools by the
sides of open streams, I'm permanent
accumulations of water of every sort
irrigation bitches. stagnant water
where there Is green scum, In beds of
old canals, In old horse troughs and
the like. When the blood of a ma
laria sufferer Is sucked into the stom-
ach by anopheles the malaria parasite
In that blood undergoes development !;
and the products of this process enter
the mosquitoes salivary glands and are
elected into the system Of the next
person stung. If this latter unfor-
tunate has not yet had malaria he
thus contracts the disease unless his
natural antigerm forces are able to
destroy the parasite before II can do
any mischief In his body.
Naturally then, the prevention of
malaria depends on the destruction of
all breeding places within the radius
of mile. The way to do this Is to
drain or fill in with earth, or to cover
the surface Of any water with a TIM,
film Of kerosene. Houses must be
screened. Anopheles bites only after
shutdown; and only the Lady An
opheles does the mischief. Here. as

Stand Your Ground.

Remember. each one must bear his
or her own burden. Not soul Is free.
We should keep this truth constantly
before us, and then honestly try to
do our best. Furthermore we should
cultivate the habit Of smiling. 1t will
help us when all the world seems
awry. A good-natured face is always
a welcome sight, for II makes us for

True Meaning Of "eoomerane."

Boomerang has beaten all records Of
words turned inside out. The term
Toes not convey the idea of retribu-
ton. MS the boomerang returns not at
the thrower's peril, but to his further
use. No Australian would make that
blunder. Colonel Miles, the allied ex-
peditionary forces chief chaplain dur
ing the war, used the term right when
he declared: We are your boomerang,
flung out by you to conquer conti-
nent and now returning to your feet
for another throw.

But there soon developed on this gela-

Here is the way of It:
The laboratory doctor had put on
that plate fly that had got his feet

and he had then covered the whole
with a glass jar so that the fly could
not get away. This insect, thus heavy

the Detroit Free Press. Well, be that

how consumption has up to this time

HOW TO FIGHT
INFLUENZA
tBy DIR. L. W. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and cowards'
but fear=neither germs nor Germansl
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
are a protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons Within
it is best to take vegetable pill every
other day, made up of May-apple, aloes,
jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DR.. Pferce's
Pleasant Pellets. If there is sudden
onset of what appears like hard cold
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
a hot mustard foot-bath and drink cop1-
,ously of hot lemonade. If pain develops
in head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
off poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet
every, two hours, with frequent drinks
of lemonade. The pneumonia appears
in most treacherouS way, when the
influenza victim is apparently recover
ing and anxious to leave his bed. In re-
covering from bad attack of influenza
or pneumonia the system should be
built up with good herbal tonic, such
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, made without alcohol from the
roots and banks of American forest
trees, or his Irontic (iron tonic) tablets,
which can be obtained at most drug
stores, or send 10c. to DR.. Pierce's Inva-
lids Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, for trial
package.

Washington.-Pr Wilson will

Text OF Statement
The official statement was issued
at the white house. The white house
announcement follows: "The president
expects to sail for France Immediately

sion of congress, for the purpose of
taking part in the discussion and set
tlement of the main features of the
treaty of peace. 1t is not likely that
if will be possible for him to remain
throughout the sessions of the formal
peace conference, but his presence at
the outset is necessary in order to OBJ
yiate the manifest disadvantage of dis
cission by cable in determining the
greater outlines of the final treaty
about which he must necessarily: be
consulted. He will, of course, be ac-
companied by delegates who will sit
as the representatives of the United
States throughout the conference The
names of the delegates will be pres
emily announced ="
How long the president will remain
abroad he himself, probably cannot say.

has not yet been announced. but the:
general belief here is that it cannot.
