Alcohol to Children
Ask your doctor how often he prescribes an alcoholic
stimulant for children. He will probably say, "Very, very
rarely. Children do not need stimulating." Ask him
how often he prescribes a tonic for them. He will prob
ably answer, "Very, very frequently." Then ask him
about Ayer's non-alcoholic Sarsaparilla as a tonic for the
young. Follow his advice. He knows. . c. Agtt Co., Lowell AJW

Halifax, N. C, March 29.
At "Owen's Mill" on Monday
all ihe small boys, liitle girls, sweet
young ladies, and some not quite
so young gathered together to en
joy fishing and picnictng to their
heart's conient. It is quite need
less to say that the day was one of
great pleasure to all who were
there, for who ever heard of a pic
nic lhatwas not enjoyable.provided
there was sufficiency to satisfy the
cravings of a hungry sinner?
By the way one does not every
day see a finer lot of mules than
those owned by ihe county, kept
for ihe working of the roads. The
county road force has been located
around here for some little time,
and those six fine mules coming
in town occasionally excites a great
deal of comment. Manager A. T.
Dickens keeps them in excellent
condition, as well as looking after
the good roads problem.
Rev. J. E. Holden filled his ap
pointment here on Sunday even
ing, preaching as usual a very
strong sermon. His contention
was that men-made Christians
were of little avail in the convert
ing of this old world to Christ; that
a man had to be cleansed from
within, the old Adam had to be
eradicated, the new man must be
resurrected. He said we all had
our remedy fur the solving of the
world's real needs, some would
claim that pure politics would suf
fice, another that the solving of the
whiskey problem would be ihe
most beneficial, etc. "But," said
he, "The real need of this world
is that men must 'be born again. ' "
That if this was an actual fact, all
other things would properly adjust
themselves. The fact of the great
resurrection would then have such
significance, that as we look on
death here, a great deal of its at
tendant sadness will have been
taken away, because of the
realization of that fuller and more
developed life as we shall come to
it on the "other side."

"3 ft-
Till: TYPHOID FLY.
'THE MOST DEADLY ANIMAL
ALIVE."
There is a belief among some
people that flies are useful because
they feed on wastes. No greater
mistake could be made. Flies light
on and walk over all manner of
unclean mailer, ;ind then spread
! germs and uncleanness over dish-
es, food, and milk vessels. They
may come loour faces straighi from
; feeding on iliespeetum of a con-
sumptive or ihe w astes of a typhoid
l patient. They may fly directly
! from some one who has sore eyes
to our hands or faces or to the very
! eyes of a litile baby ihat cannot de
i fend itself from them. There is
nothing more dangerous or more
unclean than to live among a swarm
of flies.
Almost any kind of germ may be
carried by flies. Not only do they
carry germs on their feet, but
when a fly feeds on matter that con
tains disease germs they are found
in the matter that conies from iis
alimeniary canal. In one speck
left by a fly that had been captured
on the face of a leper, 1115 lep
rosy germs were found. Tuber
culosis germs and typhoid germs
have also been found in fly specks,
and there is no reason why a fly
that -walks over or feeds on matter
containing the germs of any dis
ease should not spread abroad
those germs.
It is possible to do much in the
way of avoiding danger from flies
by using screens and fly paper, by
covering food and dishes, and by
removing all materials that attract
them to the house. A far easier
, ana more erteenve way is to re
I move the breeding places of the
, flies. The egg of the housefly is
laid in manure (chiefly horse ma
I nure) about stables, in the maiter
: in dry closets, or occasionally in
garbage or decaying vegetable mat
ter. In a dav or less the egg
hatches into a small white maggot
, which in nine or ten days from
i the time the egg was laid changes
i into the adult fly.
; It is estimated thai in one sum
j mer three hundred flies may hatch
I in a cubic inch of manure and if
j the breeding places of the flies are
left undisturbed, they will hatch
; faster than it is possible to kill
I them. It is a simple maiter, how
; ever, to stop their increase bv re
moving once a week, all matter in
which they breed, burying it, or
spreading it on the fields where it
will dry and the eggs and young of
the fly will be killed. They can
also be prevented from breeding
by keeping manure carefully cov
ered so thai ihe adult fly cannot
get to it to lay the eggs.
This fight against Mr. Fly is go
ing on all over the country where
people are really awake to the se
riousness of the situation. In New
Orleans the work of extermination
is under the direction of Dr. T. S.
While, the famous marine hospital
surgeon, who fought and whipped
the yellow fever in 1905. A reg
ular set of laws and precautions
have been devised. In the schools
the teacher regularly and insistent
ly impress upon the children the
danger of contamination and ihe
necessity of obeying the rules laid
down by the health authorities. In
New York Ciiy the Merchants'
Association has devoted a pamphlet
of forty-two pages to the fly, show
ing by scientific investigation that
the common house fly has spread
typhoid and intestinal diseases
broadcast.
The fighiing of flies and mos
quitoes is an economic problem.
In New York City there are more
than 5,000 deaths from typhoid
and other intestinal diseases during
the fly season. It is estimated that
were the fly effectually banished, ii
would result in the saving of 5,000
lives a year in that city and the
prevention of 50,000 cases of sick
ness. Typhoid fever is estimated
to cause an annual economic loss
amounting to $350,000,000 in
the United States and fully $25,
000,000 in Canada. It is also fig
ured that the American people
spend $10,000,000 a year for
door and window screens. Not
only is the fly a disseminator of
typhoid, but he likewise communi
cates tuberculosis by carrying it
from the spectum of tubercular
patients toothers, and carries ev
ery form of intestinal disease. It
is said that much of the cholera in
fantum, the most fatal of children's
diseases, is carried to the little vic
tims by flies. I
Under ordinary conditions it is
not expensive to remove ;he breed
ing places of flies and mosquitoes
in a town, and no money that a
town can spend will pay better,
either in dollars and cents or in
the comfort thai will come to the
inhabitants, than money that is
spent to free a town from these in
sects. In a small town one can
easily look out for all breeding
places of mosquitoes. This will
mean that there will be no malaria
in that town; and there are many
small towns that would have been
large cities long ago if they had
been free from malaria. A town
cart can remove weekly matter that
can be sold for fertilizer for almost
enough to pay for the expense of
removing it. Let us remember
this point especially, that it is a
question for each one to settle for
himself whether he will have a
slovenly kept stable and stable
yard where flies may breed in
abundance or whether he would
prefer to have his home practically
free from (lies, for (lies found in
our homes are usually the prod
uct of our own stable and yard.
Don't you think that Weldon
i would present a very attractive
i place to persons seeking new
homes, if she could truthfully say:
"In Weldon you will not be both
ered by mosquitoes, and neither
you nor any member of your fam
ily will have malaria. You will
not be annoyed by flies; and you
need not fear that while you are
looking ihe other way a fly will
leave typhoid germs on your
plate."
Then why not put inio practice
the following rules given out by
ihe Merchants' Association, ot New
York City:?
"Keep the flies away from the
sick, especially those ill wiih con
tagious diseases. Kill every fly
that strays into the sick room. His
body is covered with disease
germs.
Do not allow decaying material
of any sort to accumulate on or
near your premises.
All refuse which tends in any
way to fermentation, such as bed
ding straw, paper waste and veg
eiable mailer should be disposed
of or covered with lime or kero
sene oil.
Screen all food.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans
cleaned or sprinkled with oil or
lime.
See ihat your sewerage system is
in good order, that it does not
leak, is up-to-date and is not ex
posed (o flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Cover food after a meal; burn or
bury all table refuse.
Screen all food exposed for sale.
Screen all windows and doors
especially the kitchen and dining
room.
Burn insect powder in the house
to kill the flies.
Don't forget, if you see flies,
their breeding place is in nearby
filth. It may be behind the door,
under the table, or in the cuspi
dor. If there is no dirt or filth, th-:re
w ill be no flies.
If there is a nuisance in the
neighborhood write at once to the
health officer."
