it carries thence from sources of con-
tamination and of the refuse which
it transfers from rotting vegetables,
meat and fish. Twenty-Five per cent of
flies breed in manure heaps.
Besides the diseases mentioned flies
have 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
distribute those eggs where they may
do hurt to humankind.
Before considering other insects l
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

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-
bic, 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 a malaria patient).
Mosquito Fever.
Doctors prefer to speak of malaria
as mosquito fever, for, as everyone
now knows, it 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, in 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 it 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 thin
film of kerosene. Houses must be
screened. Anopheles bites only after
shutdown: and only the Lady An
opheles does the mischief. Here, as

AS 1t Was on Earth.

Not long ago an old lady friend died.
Mary Agnes, who lived in the same
building, had for some reason been
chased from the steps by the old lady,
and so she got the impression that the
old lady was always chasing little chill
dren. So one day after the woman died
Mary asked another woman In the
building If she thought that the old
lady wars an angel now. 81 hope So"
was the reply. Then little Mary said,
"Well, bet she is chasing all the little
angels around up there"

How Dust Causes Fires.

Spontaneous combustion is caused,
so the chemists tell US, by floating par
4cles of coal dust or other inf1ammable
material iostling and clashing against
one another until the friction they set
up raises their temperature to the ig-
Ilition point, says Popular Science
.donthly. If this explanation is correct,
it would appear as if such fires could
5e prevented by perfect ventilation.
Such. however, is not the case, for ven
tilation may actually help to bring
about fire by spontaneous combustion.
Air facilitates oxidation, really fam
ming the warm dust into blaze. Keep
air damp and quiet to avoid fire.

tubercle bacillus. This plate to begin
with was a perfect blank - tabula
vasa, as the ancient Romans used to
call their tablet before writing on it.
But there soon developed on this gela-
tin plate letters about as Ominous as
those which the Prophet Daniel point
ed out to BeIshazzar at his royal feast.
Here is the way of it:
The laboratory doctor had put on
that plate a fly that had got his feet
stuck in the spittle of a cOnsumptive !;
and he had then covered the whole
with a glass jar so that the fly could
not get away. This insect, thus heavy
footed, then prOmenaded all over the

up of uncOuntable millions of those
tubercle bacilli, developed on it's
tracks.
You may think I exaggerate when
/ compare this fact of the gelatin
plate with the Prophet Daniel and the
writing on the wall. says a writer in
the Detroit Free Press. Well, be that
as 1t may, 1 ask you only to reflect
how consumption has up to this time
been carrying off every third or fourth
of us between adolescence and matur-
ity; that inAall the wars of the nine
teenth century Gncluding those of Ma

Plague exists largely by reason of hui
man supineness and neglect of the sim
plest precepts of hygiene and santa
ton. The Babylonian kiEg did not
heed the warning which Sey In the
writing on the wall. BY needing the
lesson that lies in that little gelatin
plate we shall be very far on the way,
we and our fellow men and women, of
banishing the tuberculosis which it
represents from human experience and
from off the face of the earth.
OF course, flies are not the only
agency in the spread of tuberculosis;
for they are active but few months
of the year, whilst that disease is con-
traCted all the year round.
Flies Swell Infant Death Rate.
1t is certain also that flies help
greatly to swell the infant death rate,
which Is greatest in the fly season.
There are few more congenial culture
media for germs than milk, especially
amid the uncleanliness which obtains
in the houses of very many poor peo-
pie, especially in the tenements. This
fluid easily becomes contaminated by
flies and with the nOxiOus matter that
is continually clinging to their hairy
feet, their spOngy bodies and their
fluffy wings. tuberculosis is thus cer-
tainly contracted by children, as are
the various forms of dySentery, prac-
tically all of which are germ ailments
Breast fed infants seldom have such
diarrheas whilst bottle fed babies
have them all too frequently Typhoid
fever is so often transmitted by flies
that doctors speak of this insect as
the typhoid fly. 1t pollutes food and

In a recent bulletin from the U. s. Food Administration, the following advice is given.
 It is most desirable that the farmers be cautioned against sowing wheat that has any smut contamination, without treating it. The method is simple and in- expensive.
 Covered or Stinking Smut
 Wheat heads affected with covered smut show the glumes or chaff slightly pushed apart with dark colored grain be- tween. The grain is really smut ball, which on being crushed, breaks up into a very large num- Der of minute dust-like particles the smut spores. These have a very disagreeable odor.

What Are We Farmers To
 Do About Planting Wheat

The crucial period of the world war on the battle front is on, but the severe test of human endurance will be next year when the world will be facing famine. We will have 3,OOO,OOO troops in France practically two million of them will be taken from the vital sources of pro- duction. High wages in these depleted occupations will take another million from the farms, and we will have two million shortage of man labor on tn farms to make food stuff, added to this will be the man strength of our allies largely taken from the farms, and we can safely estimate shortage of man DOW CT on the farms for the whole world of at least five million souls. If the world is to be fed next year each man of us must produce at least twice as much food stuff as he has in the past. Some excuses will of course be offered, such as we have no mills, etc. This is an error, for we have a fine mill at Newport, another at Philadelphia, and if these mils can buy Kansas wheat, ship it to their mills and then ship it back to us payng the freght both wayis, can we not ship it to Newport and back lat less expense? Which is Fcheaper, the freight fram New port and back or the freight from Kansas to the mills and then back to the consumer
 Then, again, if we raise the wheat, we can get the mills, but mo miller is fool enough to erect a mill here with nothing to grind.
 Tomorrow, registration day, the banks will be closed. See the township committee War ren VanMeter, F. B. Best and T. J. Lowdermilk on that day and sign your pledge for planting wheat.
