PHIL LOOKS II THE TRACKS OF HOUSE FLY two grand concerts by m M I DANGER OF DISEASE LURKS IX JTiIi:S ARTICLE PREPARED IFOR THK TIMES UV THE JMAKSHFIKIiD IIOAItl) OF HEALTH. One of the greatest achievements of modern sanitary measures is the .practical eradication of yeUow fever In Cufia and the southern states; this splendid work has been accom "pllshed, not by attacking the dls ease, but by destroying the agency of distribution, viz., the mosquito. The light against bubonic plague is not directed so much against the disease as it is against the principal distrib utor, the cunning rat. The great piinciple Involved in controlling the spiead of any infec tious or contagious disease Is the des truction of the means of its trans mission. The attention of health au thorities at the piesent time is cen tered on the common house fly; and the circumstances and the evidence show that it is directly responsible for the transmission of many forms of infectious poisons which hereto fore have remained more or less of a mystery. If one will take the trouble to accompanj a house fly for a short time his doubt will be soon teraoved as to the il's natural pre dilection in frequenting places of an unsavory nature. The house fly is born amidst filth and levels in it during his life time. When things .begin to lot and evolve a strong dor, there jou will find the fly in all his glory, loading his feet and bill with putrid and poisonous sub- stances and depositing them upon other objects. Actual observations lavo proven that the feet of flies are covered with many kinds of poison ous germs which become attached Ao any object upon which they may light. Under favorable conditions these poisonous germs multiply ra pidly and gain in virulence and be-r-Gome a source of danger and dis - ease. Observe a host of flies hover ing over decomposing vegetable or animal matter, sewage, exciement, sputum, foul wounds on animals, pu trid mateilal and other unwholesome substances and then follow them into . a house wiping their feet on food ...stvuffs and dishes and you will have the explanation for many intestinal open privies, dead animal and veget able matter, slop pails, refuse mat ter from the kitchen, chicken yards, cow barns, livery stables, swill bar rels and similar sources of filth. All of the above list and many others afford a breeding ground for bacte rial growth of a dangerous character and the proper disposal of them ef fect a double purpose. The careless habit that many people have of throwing scraps from the table and the kitchen into the back yard for the dog or chickens i3 a practice that Is to be condemned. Domestic ani mals should be fed in clean recep ticles and what they do not use 'should be put in the Are and not left lying around to afford a breeding place for flies and be left to putrify and furnish poisonous germs to be carried back in the house by the flies and thus Infect members of the household. Little children and some times adults pay the penalty of such practice by sacrificing their life to In fection contracted in this manner. Many persons will carefully scruti nize a piece of meat from the but cher shop to seo if it is wholesome but are unmindful of about five hun dred flies packing putrid material Into the house all day long from an old bone that has been lying close to the kitchen door for several days. The popular idea which Is pre valent about the danger of eating green fruits and uncooked vegetables during the summer is due to the fact that frequently these articles of diet are contaminated by flies and other agencies. These eatables should in variably be pealed or washed in clean water before they aie eaten. Keep the flies out of your house; allow them nothing to feed on; do not furnish them a breeding ground; keep your premises free from decom posing vegetable and animal matter and you will have less sickness and better health.' f In Masonic Opera House Marshfield, Ore., Friday aad Saturday Evenings J OBITUARY. (Mrs. W. F. Piper.) All that was earthly of one of the world's true gentlewomen, was laid to lest in the cemetery at Marshfield Saturday, August 15, 1908, when the remains of Mrs. V. F. Piper of North Coos River were carried to their last resting place. One whom we can ill do without has been taken from us, one whoso absence leaves a inflammations that it is the mlsfor- void which this world can not fill. tune of mankind to contract. Little It is hard to realize that the "Children are more exposed to the bright smile, the cheerful, encourag danger of flies than older people be- ing words are for this world no Ion cause they are not so mindful of the ger that one so unselfish and so lov 'flies presence; a child will permit able has gone on before. Rarely, in flies to light on his hands and face deed, are the last honors paid to one -and deposit any germs which may whose death is so sincerely mourn 3e upon their feet and from there ed, whoso life has been so truly an Sain access to his mouth. A case is uplifting influence on those with on record in which a patient having ipulmonary tuberculosis liyed next t door to a child; the patient was caie- . Jess about the destruction of his spittle and permitted flies to gain nc- jccss to it, whereupon their feet and bills became covered with the germs wl the disease. One of the flies was observed to go directly from tho spittle to the child and light on the norner of his mouth where It ro analned for a short time. A micros copical examination was made of the rsecretlons of the corner of tho child's tnouth immediately thereafter and sixteen germs of tuberculosis were tfound which had been left there by tho fly. Tho common house fly is onstanIJy doing this kind of nefari ous work and contributing to tho spread and dissemination of danger- . uus .gorms. Tho majority of cases of bowel trouble in young children is tho re sult of house flies contaminating iholr food and bodies with disease producing bactoria brought probably irom some remote place, or may bo, a near by source filth. More sol--dlors in tho army have beon killed by 311es than bullets. Tho unsanitary conditions that inevitably prevail in tho camp quartors of an army afford abundant opportunities for flies to Infect their food and personal ar ticles and as a consequonco dysontory and diarrhoeas are tho greatest ene mies of the brave soldier. Wo cannot kill all tho dlsoaso jsTOducing bactoria but wo can to a .great extent stop and control tho operations of thoir trnfllc managers, tho medium which carries them from ono placo and porson to another, and thereby lesson tho possibilities of dis ease. In n cool climate liko Coos Bay, flies breed very slowly and unless specinl conditions aro affordod, thoir uumbor nover become very great as compared with warm places. Tho most Important stop In limiting tho number of flies Is nttontlon to thoir saved bo a hundred dollar doctor's breeding ground, viz., manuro piles, bill."
