' House flies are recognized as a most common vehicle for the transference of certain diseases from sick to well persons. 'Ilheir activities are especial- l'y associated with the distribution of sueh diseases as typhoid fever, tuber- cwllosis and infantile diarrhoea, the germs of which may be found exposed in feces, and other d‘i-sdhuai‘ges of sick persons. The flies infect themselves by feeding on such substances. They carry the germs on their legs and bodies, as well as in their digestive tract and then po'lllru'te such food as milk with the germs.

The Lamb asked for five minutes’ re- spite and ran straight to the seat of the SQ-ciety for the Protection of Ani- mahs, where it made known its case. “We are here," :hey answered, “to pro- tect the animals from men, and not from other animals. If the wolf wants to eat yqu nothing can be done. It is the law." Filled with rersprair, the lamb re- turmed to its doom. On the way it med; an old he-gloat, who, on, learning the lamb’s misfortune, was seized with g-rgat pity. He took it to his house and powdered its fleece all over with pepper until the white lamb had turn- ed black. “Go now,” said the old goat, “and don't be afraid." Here is the latest version of the tale of the Wolf and Lamb: Taking advantage of the universal disorder the wolf one day left the woods. He met a lamb that quietly grazed in the meadow. “I’m going to eat you,” he said simâ€" ply. “No use baking explanations. I don't do it out of malice or vengeance. I am a. wolf, thou art a lamb; that suf- fices." The wolf waited, full of confidence. It was difficult for him to recognize the lamb, but he snapped at it all the same. Immediate-1y he choked and his eyes filled with tears. “Get off!” he said, releasing his prey. “There is no lowlg‘er justice in the world. It is the end of every- thing." And, with his tail lowered, he went back to the woods. W‘hat dices the fable teach?

A fracture may of course be of more than one type. By a simple fracture is meanrt one in which the bone is broken on-‘l3r in one place and has not' broken through the skin. In a com- pound fracture the skin is broken, a circumstance that adds enormously to the gravity of the accident, since it means an open wound, with all its lia- bility to infection. A complicated fracture means one in which other in-] juries are sustained at the same time,5 as, for example, when a nerve is torn| or an internal organ or blood xes- sel is hurt. A comminuted fracture is one in which the bone is broken ini several places. A green'srtick .fracg ture is explained by its name; the] bone is partly broken and is bent over like a green stick. It is common with: children, whose bones are without the. brittleness that comes with adult life: In an impacted fracture the fragments; of broken home are wedged into eachl other. l When a person meets with an ac- cident and breaks a bone his friends are likely to cont-mt themselves with saying that he has broken his leg or his arm, as the ease maybe.
