PERIL IN HOUSE FLY
10 Allowed to Spread Bacteria
Over Food Supplies.
Duty Of Every Community to Spend
Money in Warfare Against This
Enemy Of Mankind.

Washington, D. C.-"The danger of
the typhoid or house fly in the car
riage Of disease has been abundantiy
demonstrated, and yet 1t Is allowed
to breed unrestricted all over the
United States; it is allowed to enter
freely the houses of the great ma jOr-
ity Of our people: it is allowed to
spread bacteria freely over our food
supplies in the markets and ia the
Kitchens and dining rooms OF private
houses"
Thus writes DR.. l.. o. Howard in a
communication to the National Geo
graphic society. He continues:
"Even II the typhoid or house fly
were a creature difficult to destroy,
the general failure on the part of COM
munities to make any efforts what
ever to reduce It's numbers could
properly be termed criminal neglect !;
but, since 1t is comparatively an easy
matter to do away with the plague
Of flies, this neglect becomes an evil
dence Of ignorance or Of careless
ness In regard to disease-prOducing
filth which to the Informed mind con-
stitutes q serious blot on civilized
methods of life.
IF we allow the accumulation Of
filth we will have house flies, and II
we do not allow 1t to accumulate we
will have no house flies. With the
careful collection Of garbage in cans
| and the removal Of the contents at
more frequent intervals than ten days.
and with the proper regulation Of
abattOirs. and more particularly with
the proper regulation of stables in
which horses are kept. the typhoid
fly will become rare species.
"We have shown that the typhoid or
house fly may carry typhoid fever.
Asiatic cholera, dysentery. cholera
m0rbus and other Intestinal diseases :;
1t may carry the bacilIi of tuberculosis
and certain eye diseases; it is every
where present, and it Is disposed Of
with comparative ease. 1t is the duty
Of every individual to guard so far as
possible against the occurrence Of flies
upon his premises. 1t Is the duty Of
| every community, through its board Of
health, to spend money in the warfare
| against this enemy Of mankind. This
duty is as pronounced as though the
community were attacked by bands Of
ravenOus wolves"

he WILL "HERD GULLS"
Harvard Graduate Is Engaged
for Lonesome lob.
York Millionaire Has Been
Engaged for Years

New Y0rk.-Edward Hatch. Jr., who
owns Four Brothers island, near
Burlington. VT. rugged rock that
has become famous as the breeding
place Of seagulls, has signed up 4
Harvard graduate for the lonesome
job OF herding gulls during their nest
Ing season, private philanthropy In
some years.
There were 1900 applicants for the

Of an advertisement In New York City

"Wanted-A man to live alone ON
an island; inland lake; eight miles
from shore; transportation. food.
shelter. boat, etc, furnished; no work,
no compensation. Address Summer
time. 600 Tribune building, New York"
II have no faith in the theories Of
Thomas A. Edison when it comes to
selecting the man for the place" said
Mr.. Hatch. Il have found In my ex-
perience that search for the best
personnel generally leads to the col
lege man. He may start slowly. but
he has the equipment and once started
he goes fast and straight.
THAT Is why I selected a college
man to be warden Of the gulls. The
job is one that requires aptitude and
judgment such as an educated man
may be expected to possess"
Among applicants for the warden
ship Of lonely island were natural
lists. lawyers. poets. authors. artists,
ex-sOldiers, sailors and OrnithOlOgists.
Mr.. Hatch protects the breeding
place Of the gulls because he believes
they are of the greatest value In con-
serving public health. He has been
interested for many years In plans to
prevent contamination Of the waters
of New York harbOr. 1t Is estimated
that there are 20O,OOO gulls In and
about the harbor and each of them is
said to consume an average Of two
pounds of refuse day. To protect the
eggs Of nesting gulls and save the
young from destruction by vandals
who visit Four Brothers island Mr.
Hatch has constituted himself pro-
tectOr Of the breeding ground. This
is the ninth warden appointed.

The Story of Halls Death

Hal-dreaming of his letters
wishing that l had kept some of
them that l might read them over
and over again. 1t was all so
sweet. The joy of that last meet
ing with him comforted me mex
pressibly.
One day l said to my mother,
81 wonder why Nell Marshall has
not written to me-"
We had been looking over the
letters of coincidence and sympa-
thy which l had received during
my illness but among them was
none from Nell. My mother turn
ed her face away.

Have you heard from Nell?"
"Alix, Nell Marshall is dead"
What do you mean? How did
she die? When did she die?"
my dear child, she was on the
train with your husband and was
killed at the same time"
l could only look the question
that l could not ask.
For answer, my mother left the
room, and coming back she gave
me number of newspaper clip
pings which detailed the horrors
Of the accident. I took them in
my hands and fingered them over
and over I dreaded to read-but
finally l took courage because at
that moment I made myself un-

Big Fire in Latta

Friday Morning

Latta. Dec. 9.-Friday morning
about 1880 o'clock Latta had the
worst fire that it has had in many
years. The fire swept the area be-
tween Marion street and Railroad
avenue. consisting OF one block and
about half Of another before the
flames could be stopped. In the
path of the flames We're IA places OF
business. including a shoe shop. a
blacksmith shop, large negro
boarding house. with a dance hall
and piano underneath, one barber
shop. a tobacco warehouse. a grist
mill and seven grocery stores.
which carried small stocks Of gro
ceries and fruits. except S. E. Brun-
son. who carried a large stock OF
groceries and undertaking supplies,
and did a considerable business:
also e. F. Moore 6; Co., who did
a large business and handled an as
sorted line Of goods.
The people OF Latta sometimes
referred TO this section as The
Bowery." The loss in dollars and
cents to those who owned these
little places of business is great and
will probably reach between $4,000
and $4,000.

bacco warehouse. in which was
stored a lot of corn in the shuck
