THE HOUSE FLY AS
 A DISEASE CARRIER
Easily Destroyed

People have altogether too long con- sidered the house-fly as a harmless in- sect or at the most simply nuisance. Scientific researches have proven the danger of the creature from stand point of disease, and the necessity or fighting it.
 The house-fly is A disgusting pest. It feeds and wallows' in filth of all sorts and when their body and legs are covered with germs which are growing and living in such filth. they proceed to our food and to the food of children. This infected food. we human beings eat and drink. and in this way disease is kept circulating from one to another.
 But the house-fly's greatest enemy full wars. this one must be conducted with intelligence. It requires a little thought, a little work and care-that Is all-and our children will have life instead of death.
 Let FTX-RID be your ally in the war on the fly. It works by contamination. Adv

MODERN LEGENDS
The Legend of the Empty Beans

Old Greywhiskers bit off a goodly
 chunk of Cabbage Twist rolled it
 into his left cheek in chawing position,
 adjusted his jaw gears to a mile-a-
 minute grind. strengthened the unruly
 strands of his "barber's enemy" which
 adorned his chin and called little
 Boobkins to him, saying, Come, lit-
 tie Runt, and let your. Grandpap pour
 into your innocent ears the story of
 The Two Empty Beans"
 And Bobkins came unto him. Being powerless to refuse. and too young to know better, be said. "Go to it, Grandpap shoot"
 So here's the tale, even as Old Grey whiskers inflicted it upon the defense less chee-lid:
 "It was years ago, before the time of flivvers and flying machines, in the town called Magical City. where ruled a Mayor Gin those days this village was unfet- tered by a Commission, and where lived the satisfied citizens and citizen esses of this Burg. I say satisfied, my child. but all were not contented, for there were two, citizen named Nohead and a citizeness called Ivorytop, who were as unsatisfied as Bolsheyik at a Peace Con fab. They kicked about their home town, the Magical City, and everything within its gates and were both Past Grand Mas ters of the Knockers League. Tt so happened that neither of these two warts was aware of the others ex- istance, although their feeble minds ran iI the same trough; or, you might say, Two Hammers that Knocked as One Now it occurred that one day this No head heard voice as he was at his usual work of grinding his ax The voice delivered this message, Go east, young man. and as Nohead had strained his ears for just such tip for To, these many years, he made answer thusly I'm c,l

THESE DRYs sCoRN MONEY

The prohibition leaders of Alabama appear to be of different type from those found in most of the other states. They are amateurs in the sense that they do not advocate prohibition for nay, but act because of sincere convic- tions. Disagreeable as are some of the features of the drastic but necessary laws, they have gone far toward solv- ing the negro problem in a satisfactory way. Among these leaders is Col. L. D. Musgrove, wealthy planter and coal man, whom I met in Paris trying to persuade the world peace conference to incorporate in the treaty with Ger many a worldwide prohibition blank.
 Colonel Musgrove is personally liberal in his ideas I had the impression that he would welcome some moderate policy that would permit the use of wine and beer, provided sources of distrib ution were not intrusted to saloons of the sort that fourished here and, according to his idea, retarded the progress of Alabama and corrupted the negroes.
 Colonel Musgrove took me into some of the banks to exhibit comparisons of huge deposits of today as compared with those of the 'wet days" He pointed out to me the well-kept and well-ordered streets and showed me fishing the prosperity of the state un- der "dry conditions"
 He frankly told me that he did not favor prohibition for sentimental req sons,- but because it induced a healthier moral tone among the people, resulting in a greater efficiency and happiness.
 Yet I was impressed with the fact that not one of the opponents of pro
