During recent years physicians, bacteriologists, sanitary engineers, and others concerned with ques tions of public health, have made effort to arouse tho American people disease and death traveling In the ceaseless concerning tracks of the common housofly. or "typhoid fly," as the United States government does not hesi tate to call It In Its official printed documents. Little by little the country has become ac quainted with the danger, and now entire com munities hamlets, villages, cities alike are un dertaking systematic and complete extermination of tho insect The fly has been recognized as a carrier of disease for many generations, and some authorities, like Jean Dawson, the Cleve land biologist, feel satisfied that It was so recog nized even In Bible times. But never before has practically an entiro great nation awakened to the absolute necessity of fighting the fly to the death; of driving it out of existence. Moreover, it was left for a New York patholo gist, Dr. Ferdinand M. Jeffreys of the Polyclinic Medical school and hospital, to formulate a reply to the old question, "Of what use Is the fly?" According to Dr. Jeffreys It has a very Important use in acting as a danger signal which cannot be disregarded with Impunity. "Wherever you find the fly," he says, "you also Bnd filth. And where you And filth, you And dis ease." Not merely typhoid, but other highly danger ous intestinal diseases are now known to be spread by flies, and germs of tuberculosis, chol era infantum, spinal meningitis, infantllo paraly sis, aro likewise carried far and wide by tho same little posts. State boards ojt health, county com missions, municipal health departments, prlvato organizations of men and women In all stations of llfo aro printing and distributing pamphlots on the subject, having lectures delivered before audiences of children as well as of adults, ex plaining various methods of poisoning, tiapplng, and "swatting" flies. In many cities prizes of monoy have been offered for tho largest number of flies killed in a given period. In other cltlos and towns prizes are offered for the best essays written by school children as to tho dangers of flies and how to get rid of them. North Dakota has Issued two Important health department bulletins, spread broadcast through out the state, one entitled "Fly Habits" and the other "A Fly Catechism," In which are answered In simple language questions concerning flics which the youngest child may understand. Tho United States government, through Its Fanner's Bulletin No. 412, makes out a complote case against what It tcrmo "tho typhoid or house fly." Virginia's stato board of health has Issued at least throo bulletins and circulars devoted wholly or In part to tho subject. In addition to quarterly publications, one welt Illustrated, Iowa Issues shorter foldors telling Just how to deal with the fly nulsnnco The Chicago board of health, through Its school of Banltary Instruction, publishes and distributes articles and cartoons on the subject, an well aB n concise list of "Hints to Householdors." Tho Ohio stato board of health has also been busy In the matter and has reprinted largo num bers of Dr. C. O. Probst's practical paper, "The Fly as a Disease Carrier." Michigan's stato board has come out with an important quarterly document on "The Anti-Fly Crusade." Pennsylvania devotes an entire issuo of Its largo Health Bulletin to an essay easily under stood, which is called "The Common Fly: How It Develops, Why It Must Be Destroyed, and How to Destroy It." South Carolina, Texas, and almost all the other states in the Union have been doing their utmost to educate the public concerning the dangers of permitting flies to exist. But with tho exception of a single four-page circular the state of New York has done nothing In the matter that has been pressed so vigorously by the country gen erally. This circular Is a brief document entitled "The Filthy Fly," and Is Issued by the Publicity and Education Department of the State Board of Health. It la said that by means of a red powder scat tered over piles of garbage and other filth flies havobeen traced In many cases diroctly Into sick rooms, as well as to markots and fruit stalls where foodstuffs wore displayed, without being screened. By such means as this flies were traced durlnc an outbreak of typhoid fovor in Plattsburgh, N. Y. Tho local authorities thought that drinking water, or milk, or some like sup ply was Infected, but an Investigator from Now York went to the Saronac river, into which the sownge of Plattsburgh was carried, and from there he traced flies as they went into a moving picture show attended by a largo audience, and he t-aced tho flies as they went from tho "mov 'les" back to tho river. Countless instances of tho spread of various diseases havo been recorded all over tho country, and as a result. Instead of being rogardod merely as a harmless, though annoying little pest, the houso fly Is today considered ono of tho dead liest enemies man has to contend with. Far more dangerous ' than war, for the fly Is every where every summer, excepting in enlightened communities, like Cleveland, Ohio, which Is rap idly becoming protty nearly a flyless city. Last year experiments were undertaken In a number of placos to exterminate flies. Newspa pers of Worcester, Mass., offered money prizes for tho largest quantity of flies caught, and the results wero astonishing. Ono enterprising lad of twelve years won the first prize of $100 when he dollvered nlnoty-flvo quarts of flies. But It was found out later that In order to succeed ho had actunlly gono Into the business of breeding flies In heaps of flsh offal. Altogether tho city of Worcester caught and killed forty bushels of flies In a few weeks For obvious reasons thoso Interested In fly extermination nro not offering prizes In tho same way this year for dead flies. In a good many communities prizes nro offered for flyless blocks of houses or for farms or barns that have no files on or In them. Organizations like the Woman's Municipal League of Boston aro paying for storopticon lec tures delivered beforo nil sorts of audiences, and aro getting Boy Scotits, District Nursing as sociations, school children, and others at work In tho effort One of the scientists most actively interested Is C. F. Hodge, professor of biology at Clark university, who has accomplished, re markable results by screening houses to keep flies on the outside, by killing winter flies when they awake in early spring ond crawl out of cracks, picture moldings, and other dark places where they spend the cold weather, and by catch ing in traps of his own design millions of yoang flies before they can get to kitchen, dining-room or restaurant. Ono of the most effective steps taken In the campaign of education is duo to Mr. Hatch, who sent a man to London, at his own exponse. and there had mnde microscopic photographs of flloa and their dnngerous activities from which a mov ing picture film was constructed. Tho film, stown all over tho country, Is believed to hav dono more than any other ono thing to bring millions of peoplo to realize how great Is tho danger from flies, and how necessary to removo it. Ono of the most Ingenious methods for teach ing children facts regarding flies Is seen In a small pamphlet prepared by Jean Daweon of tho Cleveland Normal school, who has adopted tho question and answer plan of Instruction After explaining, In this way, why files, aro dangerous, how they spread disease, whore, they spend tho winter and what they do In spring, tho Httlo book tells about their breeding, their food, and how they carry dirt as we'' as disease. The closing questions and answers are ob fol lows: 20. Can a family escape tho dangers from flies by screening them out of tho house? No, not If thoy use food over which files have swarmed or fallen into, 21. Do flies carry slcknoss and death to many people In tho United States? There are nearly five hundred thousand cases of typhoid fever yearly In the United States, and nearly 50,000 deaths, Much of this distributed by flies. Forty-nine thousand Infants die an nually of enteritis or summer complaint, tho germs of which aro probably all carried to the milk by fllos. Files are now known to be the most deadly enemy of man.

Many of theso deaths aro duo to flies carying dlscoso gorras to their food. 21. How is it posslblo to protect ourBolvea moro from flies than we already havo? Whon wo thought fllos were merely nnnoylng, wo could afford to hide ourselves behind ncroens; now that they havo beon proved to bo our deadly enemy, we must como out and fight them In the"" open. 25. How can this be dono? , In three ways: (a) By killing all the wlntor files that have boen hiding in buildings ns fast as they come out. (b) Dy cleaning up all manuro and filth in which flics may breed (c) By koeplng traps set in covers of garbage can3 and on porches whoro tho fllos aro thickest to catch them beforo they can enter our homoB. or. wiint nnrtipiilrir cood would como from killing winter flies? Killing tho fllos that llvo over winter means killing the mother files beforo thoy can lay eEg In tho spring. 27. If wo did clean up all tho mnnuro and llltn from tho neighborhood would not AIcb swarm In from other parts? A fly seldom travels over GOO yard from its breeding plnco. 28 With what nro tho traps baited? If used In tho covr of a garbage can tho garbage Is the bait. If used othorwlso, bread and milk Is an attractive bait. 29. Will all tho fllos go Into tho trap? Yes, If there 1b no other food about. 30. Has any ono over succoedod In keeping his houso freo from fllles without screens? Yes, a number of peoplo have used the method above Indicated, and have dono away with screen windows and doors. m win ii oltv of Cloveland ever be freo from flies? Yes, Just as soon as overy ono does his part in his own house and yard Clovoland will bo a city of flyless stores, markets and homos. One of the most Interesting experiments made last summer was a highly successful effort to teach children the truth ubout tho necessity of exterminating tho typhoid fly. Among those furthering this specific plan of education was Mr Hatch, who offered two sets of prizes In each of s numbor of cltlos, including Now York, Mllwaukeo, Kalamazoo, Salom, Mass.; Wichita, Kansas City. Kun.; Memphis and St. Louis To children In tho seventh and eighth grades of public schools ho offered a prlzo of $10 and to pupils in tho fifth and six grades ho offered a first prim of $F and a second prlzo of $3. In tho nggregato he spent In this way some $700, many thousands competing Ono result is that an army of children havo acquainted thorn Belvos with tho fly and what It doos to man. This, of course, wns tho main object sought. Secondly, tho fact that a New Yorker was offer ing his own monoy In this campaign, and suc ceeded In arouBlng the spirit manifested among children all over tho country, caused local news papers, health bodies, educational Institutions, and othor Individuals In many placos to go Into tho matter on their own responsibility. This year It Is not necessary for Mr. Hatch or any ono else to offer prizes to the country In genoral. Tho loaders of public opinion and public spirit in ono city aftor another aro offorlng prizes thomsolves. As a result of all tho agitation, this year sees n fly crusade throughout tho land such as was probably never soon hoforo In tho history of tho world.

HAS NO LOVE FOR THE DANCE Mies Ellen Terry Admits She Is Prej udiced, and Incidentally Gives Her Reasons for It. Miss Ellen Terry has written a charming book on "Tho Itusslan Bal let," full of Idens aud appreciation. Miss Terry goes straight to tho point by asking, "What is dancing?" and Incidentally we got some amusing In formation concerning her preferences. "I frankly confess," she says, "that I havo a dislike to ordinary dancing on the toes. It may be because in my youth it had degenerated Into acme thing so stiltod, distorted, and un rhythmical that It conflicted with all my Ideas of beauty. And when the Russians give somo of tholr older bal lets, such as 'Giselle,' which bears tho mark of Italian lnfluonco ft "was, I think, arrangod by an Italian maitra de ballet I feel that all the Improve ments that the Russians havo made in this so-called 'classical dancing can not uproot my prejudice, although they can, and do, modify It. Tho Rus sian ballerinas aocompllch tho feat of being fluent on their toes. They do not hammer out steps It Is a falsa motion of rhythm that thero Is a bam-raor-Btroko on every strong beat--but take a collection of steps, as a singer takes a collection of notes, and calmly and gracefully phrase them In the manner of a bird beating tho air with ita wings rather than that o! a black smith hammering on his anvil. Still. I doubt whether tho Russians would havo conquered Europe had they come to us moroly as revivors of classical dancing beforo It became mochaulcal and ugly.

Tho New York Evening Post re minds us of a good story told of tho lato Lord Wolsoloy, or Sir Garnet Wol soloy as ho thon was, during tho mili tary occupation of Egypt. Deeming it advlsablo, for obvious reasons, to place a guard around the harem of a local potontato, a brothor officer, stroll ing Into an adjacont gardon, was hail ed by a scntlnol.
