CANADIAN WEAT SECURED FOR MILLS 1irector Barnes Obtains Three Million Bushels FLOUR TO SELL $11.50 BBL. Nervousness in Flour Market Sub sides and Prices Show Dis tinct Decline. New York, May 8.-Julius Barnes, United States wheat director, an nounced tonight on his return from Chicago that he had completed ne gotiations to bring four million bush els of Canadian wheat into the Unit .ed States for distribution to the mills. These negotiations have been in progress for several days with the Canadian authorities, it was said. Director Barnes announced further that this quantity of imported wheat will be sufficient for those milla which have not provided1 their stocks up to the new crop. He has reachec this opinion, he stated, after a sur vey of the entire mill situation in this emmntry in which he found that many mills are stocked with more than they can possibly grind before the new crop is harvested. Reports reaching the graini corpo ration today indlicated that'the ner vousness and exc itement heretofore ruling in the flour market in the Unit ed( States are being gradually allayed andl that flour prices have showna distinct decline in the past week. Myr. Barnes reiterated tonight that the grain corporation will sell from its current stocks andl its curreni movements through the ports, partie uilarly Boston, Newv York, Philadel phia and Baltimore, its standard gradles of flour at $1 1.50 a bayrol in ear-load lots to !iona fide0 users, and that the graini corporation offices at all these ports have been instructed to continue to sell on this basis un til the domestic situation is entirely relieved. A fair reflection of the govern mnent's fair price re-sale basis for wheat is shown by the grain corpo ration's offers to resell and b~y the prices fixed for such resale, Mr Barnes saidl. Moreover, he said, there is no rea son why all the (domestic grades of flour should not bear a reasonable re hation to that basis. START SWVA'ING TH EM NOW A Little Timely Advice on The Old Subject of Flies. More Americans were killed by flies here at home .last yeear than were GOOD TO H LA D IIIII i I I slain on the battlefields of France. Flies sent more human beings into their graves within the past 12 months than all the wild beasts of all the wild jungles, mountains and plains of the world did. The fly is more dangerous than the roaring lion, the slinking tiger, the coiling snake or the crouching wild cat, because it is easier to avoid the lion, tiger, snake or wildcat. The fly has killed more people than all the criminal murderers of all nations and all time. The fly is never harmless and is al ways harmful. Flies kill more human beings than earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, fires, volcanic eruptions. Flies kill more people each year than are drowned that year in all the lakes, rivers, ponds and oceans combined. ["lies are more deadly than rattle snakes, more to be dreaded than man eating sharks, and more to be feared than the Gila monster or the trantula. Here's some expert testimony on the subiect of flies: "In La habits the fly is probably the most objectionable insect with which man come~*s in contact," says Dr. Ernest A. Sweet ot the United States Public 'Health Service, who adids: "The fly not only breeds in filth, but it continue's to frequent objee tionable material thro'ughout the days of its existence, leaving only to in vade the residence of mian, contami niate his food, and oftentimes to spread dlisease. "Flies may transmit dlisease' in either of two ways. The first method is by mechanical transference, where hy the insect b~ecomies contaminated with the parasites of micro-organizmia of dlisease as a consequence of fre quenting filth and places5 where these agents abound, thus carrying patho genic organisms directly to food and drink partaken of b~y man. "Milk, which is one of the best media for the growth of bacteria, may be colntaminated by flies merely through the act of feeding. "The second method of disease transmission is b~y Inoculation. For tunately houseflies are of the non biting variety, and therefore inea pable of spreading dilsease in this way. "Of the diseases which may he transmittedl by houseflies, the follow ing are worthy of consideration: Ty phoid fever, diarrhea and enteritis, cholera, dysenteery, para-typhoidl fe verc, intestinal parasitic infections, sleeping sickness, surra, nagana. ''Another manner in wvhich flies d is seminate infection is through the regurgitation or vomiting of food. It is uinpleasanit to consider that insects Iwhich have but recently frequented garbage heaps, c'uspidors and manure piles may be guests at our tables, but it is all the more disguating to con sider that the very material of which they have partakeni should be subse muently dis;tributed over &ur own food and then received into our system. The numb~er of such vomited spots dle posited by well-fed flies may be enor mous, frequently rising to a hundred or more a day." One fly killed to day may save the life of a human being this sumnrer your life, it may be! One fly less todaty means a huindred thousand less iw.:t September.
