ILLNESS DUE
TO FLIES
-Brice Belden, M. D.

IN HE fly is a carrier of disease,
and, of course, gets in it's
worst work in the summer
time. This particular insect should
be considered as a deadly menace
and at all times dangerous. Every
effort should be made to extermi-
nate the pest and prevent the eggs
of the succeeding generation from
Matching. Young children are the
most frequent victims of infection
carried by flies and are the most
injured by their existence.
Possibilities of infection from flies
may be imagined when one considers
that each fly permitted to live may
be the parent of millions more be-
fore the summer is over.
Fly-swatting is one way of deal
ing with this germ distributor, but
moro important is prevention of
breeding. To prevent this it is
necessary to eliminate all garbage
and manure deposits, as they are
the chief breeding places of flies.
Thus all garbage pals should be
tightly covered and watertight, and
all stables should be managed in
such a way that manure will not be
exposed, stable pits being made both
flyproof and waterproof and well
sprinkled with borax.
Proper screening of homes dur
ing the hot weather is important in
protecting children from direct or
indirect. contact with the fly.
Screening keeps the insect from con-

pads of it's feet and trails them on
everything it walks across.
Borax has been found TO aid In de-
struction of the larvae or young
flies when they hatch from the eggs,
and it should be sprinkled along
holdings and crevices in obscure
places calculated to gather dust.

, pictured himself as contented with
a quiet, easy affection. He hated
the suffering this new emotion
entailed. For days past he had
been trying to think of some means
of escape from IT.
The thought of the constant, close
-companionship with her which
would be available in the new flat
he could not tolerate. Down here at
the Highway House one could al

more or less escape from 1t all, but

His agitated pacing had brought
him round to the drawingroom win

the light from within streamed out
into the garden.
He moved closer to 1t and saw Eva
still in the big chair where he had
left her.
There was a book on her lap, but
she was not reading. Her hands
were clasped on the open pages, and
her eyes looked out mournfully into
the silent room.

impossible that he and not she were
really married. He thought of the
DAYS of their first friendship with a
sort of inconsistencies.
He would have given his soul for
one of her friendly smiles-one of
the shy glances with which she had
always greeted him after their en-
gagement.
And the man for whom she had
really cared, the man who had been
too much of an insensate clod to real
ize what happiness was WAITING for

Philip knew so few of the DENIM

face at the mere thought. He turn

What were her thoughts as she
sat there alone in the silent room?
Not with him. he was very sure.
She had so determinedly refused
to allow him to kiss her; she had
sprung UP and beyond reach OF him
before he had even touched her: he
wished now that he had not taken
the repulse calmly. Perhaps she
would have had more respect for him
IL he had kissed her in spite OF her
resistance; some women liked bully
man; some women-oh, confound all
women; he had only even taken two
of them seriously in all his life, and
they had both let him down-badly.
He wandered down to the gate,
and folded his arms on the top bar

soft, white neck and shoulders
and the dainty head with its
crown of pretty hair, and his eyes
darkened with sudden passion.
She was his wife and he had never
kissed her since they were married.
An almost brutal desire rose in his
heart to master her, to let her see
that he was not always going to
acquiesce so tamely to her indlffer-
ence.
He threw his cigarette away, and
a fighting look crept into his eyes.
He crossed the room and stood
behind her, and as If she knew

faced him.
For a moment they looked at bne
another silently, and a dull flush
crept into the mans face.
He only saw the indifference of
his wife's eyes; he could not guess
how every breath seemed to choke
her, and a sudden boorish instinct
to rouse her, somehow, anyhow,
seized him.

probably be consummated in the
near future, and then will some
5000 acres of choice land with good
water rights be put upon the mar
ket, if present plans carry out, in
40-acre tracts at real speculative
figure. This land, it is conceded,
will be especially adaptable for the
raising of sugar beets, which would
go far in influencing further rail-

RUPERT TO HAVE
A ROUND HOUSE
Information Considered Reliable Is
to the End taht Work will Begin
Early This Spring

Many rumors concerning railway
moves are in the air--some good,
others so indefinite as to be neither
good nor bad.
or course, it is impossible for a
newspaper to get the dope on all
that happens first hand, as the OFF,
cials never give out anything, and
whatever information is CLEANED
slips through the Gordon of secrecy
with which plans of the railroad are
hedged in.
On this occasion the Republican
has gained possession of few things
from a source which it has every
reason to believe is reliable, that
will be of special interest to read
ers. First of this is the assertion
that the company will erect a five
stall round house in Rupert in the
early spring. DER informant states
taht this is to be done in connection
with the plan of running the through
trains over the Northside Branch as
part of the double track system.
1t is said that the laying of heavier
steel on that branch will be pushed
as rapidly as weather conditions will
permit, and viii. consist of taking
up the steel at present in use on the
fffin line and replacing the branch
dick with it, This track is Of
1gliety pounds weight and is being
Replaced on the main line with 100
pound steel.
Our informant also states that
this was said to be a move in con-
nection with the long talked of plan
of a line between Rupert and
Kelton, and that the move was con-
ceived with view of pushing the
kelton line through in case some
other road undertook the invasion
Of this territory.
Movements of the officials the
past year or more have indicated
that something was in the wind,
and if our informant is correct there
will surely be something doing here
n the spring.
i Truth of the above statement that
/ round house will be built here was
urther attested Tuesday when the
:ity electrical department received
/ letter from the Hoosier Engi-
leering Company, of Indianapolis.
nd.,i which they made inquiry to
now If they could be of any assist

nd installing power for the round
ouse to be erected in Rupert this

riations and inquiries of the rail
pad company. 1t can be considered
