DAY URGES BETTER
CITY WATER SUPPLY

Jerome j. Day, who is in the city
to spend few days with his family,
called the attention of the members
of the Rotary club, at the meeting
Monday evening, to the shortcomings
OF MOscOw's water system, and urged
that the city get back of some move
ment to have the condition correct
ed. Mr.. Day announced that he is at
the present time putting in a private
water system to supply his home in
this city and has well down $50
feet
Mr.. Day suggested that it might be
possible to pipe water into Moscow
or to sink shaft to the depth neces-
sary to secure a sufficient flow of
water, it being his opinion that it is
Impossible to secure a sufficient sup
ply of water through a drilled well
such as the city now has.
For number of months past the
city has been using water from the
university wells, and is continuing to
do so. While frequent analysis of the
city water has shown it to be abso-
lutely pure, it is frequently discolored
and the supply is not sufficient for
the needs OF the community. 1t is
thought probable that some definite
action toward remedying the situa-
tion will be taken before another
summer.

INSTALL BIG RADIO SET
ON AMERICAN RIDGE

A. V. Dunkle constructed a radio
set for Walter Bigham of American
Ridge this week. 1t is probably the
most powerful set in this part of the
country. Radio programs from New
York and other Atlantic coast points
may be heard as plainly over this ma
chine as from nearby stations. With
the cloud speaker, which is a part
of the equipment, the radio has as
much volume as the average phono-
graph. No read receivers are neces-

SCREEN STAR PLAYS HEROIC
ROLE sHEROES OR THE STREET,

Wesley Barry, the lad of the many
freckles and the smile that never
wears off, is announced for an ap-
pearance at the Kenworthy theatre
beginning Friday, where he will be
seen in his latest picture, Heroes OF
the Street"
In this Warner Brothers production
Wesley is seen as plucky boy whose
bravery helps him do things at which
his grown-up superiors fail. He is
cast in a role that gives him unusual
opportunities to reval side of him
that was not called out in his other
pictures, "Penrod", School Days"
rags to Riches. In them he was a
mischief-loving, frolicking urchin al
ways ready for a prank; here he is
all this plus new quality that will
the more endear him to his many
followers among the men, women and
children Of this city.
1t is the story of Mickey Callahan,
very much Irish, as his name indi-
Gates, and showing it in the numerous
fistic victories over fellows of corn
er gangs who do their best to lick
him and end his lucky streak. Mickey
can handle them one at a time, and
when they come on too fast his bull
terrier "Camisole" is always ready to
do little pursuing and come back
with the tag end of a pants seat. In
the midst Of his checkered boyish
life enters a mystery and tragedy, and
then Mickey changes to a serious lad
out to find a certain crook and muir
derer. A tender love story is inter
woven in this screen play.

THE DEADLY
HOUSEFLY
BY Brice BeIden, M. d.

J OAA~S AAS4OSAae 4S4o -
VT is a disgrace to our civiliza-
ton that there should be a
"house fly" for this danger
Gus pest really is a filth fly. Per-
haps if it were called by its
proper name there would be a
more determined effort to rid the
house of it's presence.
It is a filth fly, because 1t
breeds in filth, lives on filth and
carries filth wherever it goes.
On account of the natural his
tory Of the fly, its menace in the
kitchen or on the dinner table
ought to be clear. The footprints
of a fly in jelly on which germs
can grow are marked by the colo
MES of bacteria, which start grow
ing Immediately after such i'm
plantation.
During our Spanish American
War one out of every five volun-
teer soldier suffered from ty-
phoid fever, and 1t was demon
strated that the fly played a most
important part in it's dissemina-
ton. In various towns which
have been studied by public
health experts it has been shown
that proper screening reduced
the typhoid rates to a point as
low as one-fourth of what they
had been.
Another disease with which the
fly has been definitely connected
as a causative factor is the Sum
mer complaint Of babies. This
affection can be reduced so per
cent by simply protecting the
babies from flies, as has been i'm
pressively demonstrated by the
Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor in New
York City.
If flies were only a nuisance
they would be bad enough. but it
must be understood that they are
a real danger to health and life,
as we'll.
The fly nuisance can be abated
In four ways. First, they must
be prevented from breeding,
which means cleaning up every
where; second, they should be
trapped; third, they should be
kept out of houses and outbuild-
ings by means Of screening or
the use of mosquito netting. and
fourth. they should be "swatted"
as much as possible. which. how
ever, accomplishes but little II
the other measures arc neglected.
