The United States Department of Ag- riculture has started a crusade against the common house fly and is carrying on extena've experiments as to the best way of banishing it from the abodcs of man. The fly has been found to be not only a nuisance, but a menace to man's health. its hairy body carries both dis- ease and death. Many epidemics which sweep over communities in the hot seaâ€" son have been traced to the fly. Hav- ing its origin in filth, it brings with it the bacteria which breed in fifth. And as it moves about. now crawling over refuse, now over thefood on the table, flying from the lips of the sick to the lips of the healthy; if is said. lobe more dangerous to modern society than were the wild beasts to primitive man. The high mortality among the chil- dren in the congested districts of a city, where families are closely crowd- cd together, where refuse accumulates fast, where food is often kept in living rooms, is due to a large degree. so set- elitists now say, to the. fly. Infant dis- ('tESl'S chiefly prevail in the hot season, when the flies abound. Dr. J. T. C. Nash, in The Journal of the Royal Sanitary Institute, giving his experience as an English health officer, says that the fly is responsible for the death «f many children because of polluting the milk which they drink. “It is a matter that has been entire- ly overlooked." said Dr. (.1. 0. Probost, recently, “but we now know that the common house fly an agent of im- portancc in carrying germs of typhoid fever. It was formerly believed that the germ: were. only carried in water, inHk or other liquid food.

Tho tobacco situation is a very serfâ€" r.us one for the Cigar manufacturers at the present time. Havana tobacco is scarce and very high. Even the large manufacturers who usually carry two to three years' stock ahead are now paying the price. and losing money. The 1904 Havana filler crop br‘qufit approximately 250. per paund; the 1 Havana filler crop brought approximate- ly IiOc. per pound; the 1906 Havana fll~ ler crop brought approximately 600. per pound. The 1907, now being packed is. owing to the prevailing drouth last win- tcr, only half a crop, so there ‘ls no prospect of lower prices for another year, Sumatra tobacco, used for wrap~ per purposes, is 407,; higher than in 1906. » Garmecticut and Wisconsin binders v are 50% higher. In face of all this, the price of 10c. crgars has not advanced to the dealer. simply because the manufacturers are a pack of fools, each one afraid of the other. If Payne raises his price $5.00 per E.000, the. other manufacturers rush in to secure I‘tayne's customer, or vice- verso. The public, they stand for most anything. When did you ever see a smoker walk out of a store unserved because he called for a "Pharaoh," or any other brand, and was offered “something just as good." There have been a few small failures amongst the, manufacturers, and more will likely follow, depending on how long their re>erve will hold out. A 55.0.1 10". cigar actually costs the manufacturer $8.00 per thousand more than in 1904. Payne. of Granby, who have always appropriated about $30) per thousand annually for advertising purposes. are cutting out all their newspaper ads for the present.
