"The insect we now call the house fly should be termed typhoid fly ' in order to call attention to the danger of allowing it to continue to breed unchecked," says L. O. Howard, of the department of agriculture 's . bu reau of entomology in a farmers bul letin just issued. Prof. Howard says a careful screening of windows ands doors during the summer, supplement ed with fly catching devices, is the surest preventative of disease through those germ bearing insects. The sani tary keeping of stables would do much toward eradicating the fly, he says. The health departments of municipal ities are urged to take such remedial measures.

The wreck is said to have been caused by spreading of the rails. That all were not -.'killed outriffht in the car which was crushed lika an egrshell is considered a modera miracle. A wrecking crew was aenr from Sjieqcer to clear the track and traffic was resumed on th wetterti road tonight. The rails and tic were, torn up for several hundred feet. The relief train ent out to bring the in jured to Salisbury was met at the hundreds of citizens eager to help the injured and to assist in unload ing the train. None of the passengers in the day coaches, nor any member of tb traincrew, was hurt Had the lean substantial day coaches .gone down the embankment the loa, of life would probably have been enormous. That the result was not more disas trous was probably due to the soft ness of the ground down the bank. The raiU were stripped from the ties for some distance, the train run? ning probably 150 feet after the chair car broke loose from the ad joining day s coaches and tumbled oyer. Several parties reported the lose of money and jewelry. One lady passenger stated that somewhere in the wreck were two valuable dia mond rings belonging to her. A gen tleman's gold watch was found lying on the outer top ; side of the chair car and returned to the owner. ( The train had just rounded a sharp curve and must have been running at an average speed when the wreck occurred.. Whose Boy is This?

He said he had been to Tennes?ee and was now on his way to Tampa, Fla. He also, ia my interrogations, replied that 'his, mother's heart was bleeding but not his father's. I would not judge him over 15; had on knee pants and cap and carried a small package. Hoping . that you may be benefitted by this and awaiting your reply, I am, very truly yours, 1 F. It.
