call their tablet before writing on 1t.
But there soon developed on this gela-

Here is the way Of 1t:
The laboratory doctor had put on
that plate fly that had got his feet
stuck in the spittle of a consumptive;

writing on the wall. BY needing the
lesson that lies In that little gelatin

banishing the tuberculosis which 1t
represents from human experience and

OF course, flies are not the only

Flies Swell Infant Death Rate.
It is certain also that flies help
greatly to swell the infant death rate,
which is greatest In the fly season.
