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.'

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

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-

Tho majority of cases of bowel

conditions that inevitably prevail in

abundant opportunities for flies to
Infect their food and personal ar

flies breed very slowly and unless
