BOND DEAL. ) Baltimore Financiers Express * : Gratification Thereat. "A*/ a Columbia, April 13:?State Treasurer S T Carter has received the folnst lowing letter from Fred G Boyce, use Jr> vice president of the Mercantile ave. Trust and Deposit company of Baltihey ! more,concerning the sale of the State i Kr* r> rio lon "We wish to express our appreci;as* ation of the unusually gratifying reick* suits of the new South Carolina \% ine- refunding bonds,due to the excellent foresight and co-operation of the . State officials and the local banks, ie'r by which the State was able to pay for the old bonds the same day the >nd new bondg were delivered. 0P> "In our 30 years of experience we a}n do not recall another singk instance in where a transaction of tnis magniIm* tude was consummated in such a lun manner that there was no double interest charge.for a short period at um least. nts "It is a pleasure to us to transact business under such circumstances, ,n and we wish to put on record with you our thanks and high regard." ?ci ^js Swat the Fly. the Clemson College, April 17:?By ?e* carefully studying the numerous exor" periments that have been conducted within the last few years with the er, house fly, it has been found that at- this pest is a great disease carrier. 3Ut We must study its life history berc* fore we can understand its diseasejn carrying ability. ,ro- The eggs of the fly are laid on ley stable manure and in privies, nut c^s thrive best on horse manure. Each ^ female lays about 125 eggs, of which 75 per cent are females. In on ten days after the eggs are laid, the red fly is full grown. ave The house fly carries disease nst germs on its legs. It does not bite, ?ne om as most people think. It is the staof ble fly that bites. Flies, after covering the little hairs on their legs no with numerous disease germs, fly rAm into tne house and crawl over the rorjly food that we eat. As they crawl ree about, the germs drop off their legs, "he and we eat them unknowingly. The in^ average life of a fly in the summer is about three weeks. ,nt During the Spanish-American war oin it was found that the fly was a carthe rier of typhoid fever germs. Flies are also carriers of infantile paralysis. An experiment carried on by Prof Munson proves without a 1C_ doubt that the house fly is a carrier d. of this disease. The heat nreventive against thpse 6W ice diseases is to keep the breeding ^ places of the house fly clean. The a following are a few ways by which the house fly may be controlled: 1. Screen the house. ;rn 2. Keep your premises free from ^ all fly attracting material, such as . garbage, slops, etc. Such refuse should be kept in a closed vessel at _ all times, ira3. Screen all privies on the premras *8e8, Have *n every closet a keg of ^ slaked lime and use freely to dry up je the closet material. ^ 4. When cleaning out the stables wg do not sp ead the manure all over acj the lot or leave in unprotected heap. HI If possible haul it direct to the field ck and spread it. If this is not possible |cj put it in a heap, and spray it every _ ten to fourteen days with arsenite a of soda solution as described in cir , cuiar jno Z6 01 tne aoutn uaronna ed Experiment Station. Arsenite of soda is poisonous, so be very careful with it. Keep it away from all feed o? stuff, and out of reach of children. 5. Use the Clemson Fly Trap as described in this bulletin, about the barns, privy closets, kitchen doors, 118 hog pens and other breeding places. he 6. It is well to do away with the privy, and put in a septic tank. These tanks are easily constructed, and they give excellent results. They do away with the disagreeable ns odors of the privy, and reduce the tie breeding places of the house fly. > a ,st Safe Medicine for Children. gk "Is it safe?" is the first question h, to be considered when buying a (kj cough medicine for children. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has long -c been a favorite with mothers of young ' children, as it contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be given to a child as confidently as to an adult. It is pleasant to take,too, which is of to great importance when a medicine ice must be given to young children, ee- This remedy is most effectual in reen lieving coughs.colds and croup. Obit tainable everywhere. An ideal Reme for N Compound oi ?!mplo Lnxitlve Herbs Safe for baby and Mother. Constipation is a con lition that affects the old, young ami middleaged, and most people At one time or another need help in regulating the action of the bowels. Harsh cathartics and purgatives should not l>e employed to relieve constipation, as their effect is only temporary while they shock the system unnecessarily. A remedy that can he used with perfect safety for the tiniest bal>e and that is equally effective for the strongest constitution is found in the combination of simple laxative herbs known as l)r Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and sold in drug stores everywhere for fifty cents a bottle. This is an ideal household remedy and should he in every family medicine chest. Mr- F I Barsolow, 18 Leslie St, Holyoke, Mass, wrote to I)r Caldwell, "Syrup Pepsin certainly is fine.
