This Preventative of Disease May Save Man
Dollars of Doctors Bills.
The United States census bureai
records the deaths in one year o
44.521 children under two year:
of age from “summer complaint.'
Dr. Irving Fisher estimates tha
60 per cent of these deaths werf
due to the agency of the familial
housefly. In thousands of country
homes chills and fevers are lookec
upon as necessary evils of the
summer season. Sometimes three
or four members of the family are
down together, the grass taking
the crops, drug bills piling up anc
the doctor making daily visits
This is the work of the ordinary
malarial mosquito which is ten
dered throughout the spring and
summer the wide open hospitality
of thousands of farm homes.
The writer was raised on the
farm. He knows that the average
farm family has but a very imper
fect understanding of the awful
tribute these insect guests are lay
ing on it year after year. They
are usually regarded as mere an
noyances. The head of the family
does not feel that he can afford the
expense of protecting the house
hold against a little trivial worry.
It is a pity he cannot see his un
bidden guests as the ministers of
destruction, with a shroud and a
death's head as the insignia of their
office in the world.
Mosquitoes and flies do not stop
at bringing about malai ial disorders
and summer complaints of chil
dren. The mosquito is the sole
agent for the communication of
yellow fever from person to per
son. The housefly is one of the
most potent of all factors in distri
buting fever and tuberculosis.
In drug bills, doctors' bills, loss
* of time and impaired efficiency of
labor flies and mosquitoes probably
cost the average family not less
than $150.00 a year. This tre
menduous burden is one of the
chief causes of the wide spread
poverty to be seen in the rural
South today.
Probably 75 per cent of this suf
fering and loss of time and money
is easily preventable. The remedy
consists in keeping out the flies
and mosquitoes. This can be done
by screening the doors and win
dows. No man need plead poverty
as an excuse for neglecting this
precaution. The only expense he
need incur is the cost of a few feet
1 x4 inch dressed lumber for door
frames, a few yards of wire screen
ing to cover the frames and win
dows and the necessary hinges.
He can make the frames and put
on the screening himself. The ma
terials for the average farm house
will not cost more than $5 and one
man can do all the work in a day.
That day’a work will saye many a
dollar and may save lives.

Rare Mahogany.
In Mexico. Honduras and Centr al
America the contractor gives $5
for a single mahogany tree. It is
the expense of getting it out that
counts, and that makes mahogany
an expensive lumber. It standt
deep in the forest in the midst of
an almost impenetrable jungle.
There are no groves of them the
trees are scattered perhaps not
more than two to an acre. It may
be that there is no watercourse at
hand on which the logs can be
floated to the port. The tree has
to be located by the "hunter."
whose business it is to roam
through the forest in search of
mahogany trees and to blaze a way
to them, so that they may be found
again. Then the workmen must
cut their laborious way to the tree.
The machete turned into a pruning
hook makes a very effective weap
ons, and in the course of time the
men get to the tree. It is a beau
tiful tree, tall and shapely, with the
lowest branches at least sixty
feet from the ground. Argonaut.
