A CULINARY COMEDY.
One of the Trlala of a Husband Whoee
Wife Can't Cook.
They were u newly married couple.
The wife, though a fair cook, did not
know how to make the things his
mother had prepared. And this vexed
the husband, although lie was disposed
to be Indulgent for the sake of harmony.
But there was one point upon
which ho sorrowed not a little. Ills
wife could not make edible corn bread,
and corn bread was the food upon
which he was reared.
One day u girlhood friend of the wife
visited her and, after assisting in the
preparation of luncheon, accepted an
invitation to stuy and eat it with the
newl3'weds. The husband arrived, and
the guest and he took their places at ~
the table while the wife went to the |
kitchen to bring some forgotten dish.
Before his plate was th? husband's
corn bread, but it was a miserable failure,
a sickly yellow, flat and heavy.
He became confidential.
"There is one of the trials of a husband
whose wife can't cook." he said
apologetically to the guest. "Just have
a look at that corn bread. But you
mustn't let the wife know what I said,
for It would hurt her feelings."
When the wife entered the room a
few moments later she noticed that n
deep blush suffused the guest's face.
"Why, what Is the matter, dear?" she
asked.
"It's nothing," the guest replied hurriedly.
An hour later, after the husband had
gone to the office, the chorus of two
laughing women's voices merrily resounded
through the household of the
newly weds.
But the wife has not yet told the
husband that her guest made the corn
bread on that duy she stayed for luncheon;
In fact, asked for the privilege because
she coMftlered herself an adept
ut making corn bread.?Kansas City

1 KEEP PLACE CLEAN
\ SO FLIES WOITT
BOTHER TOO
If you want to be rid of the fly evil
' this summer get the habit of keeping
\ your premises clean. Once you get
J the habit It won't be much trouble to
do so.
Drain your garbage, wrap It in paper
and put it in a metal bucket with a
Every day or ^

If you keep a horse, don't have
a manure pile or bin. Put the ma!
nure is a small receptacle?say, a
Jj ] tin tub or a barrel which can be kept
covered from flies. Have this taken
away and Bpread on a field oftener
than once a week.
If you have an outdoor toilet, see
that the vault is closed up tight where
the houBe fits over It. Use sod to make
j It so If you cannot get cement. Use
plenty of lime on the sewage and keepv
covers on the seat holes. m
Keep your house screened, keep a
swatter handy and keep your eye
peeled?for during cold or" rainy
weather a few flies almost surely will
wander in. Vigilance and action on
your part will so discourage the flies
after one or two seasons that they
will keep away from your premises.
Tell this to your neighbors and urge
them to join you In the campaign
against the fly pest. Pretty soon others
will see the advantage of sanitatioh,
and if there's any "git-up-and-git"
in the neighborhood It will not be long
until everybody in your end of the
town will have the sanitary habit.
It is not expensive to get rid of
flies. There are people who may feel
they cannot afford to buy a garbage

? i and enlist the groceries, meat shops.
restaurants and householders in a
movement to clean up alleys and hack
yards, provide for proper disposition
of garbage and for sanitary outhouses.^ |
Another grade might make fly traps
and sell them to the various grocers
and butchers for use at their places of
business and to the city authorities for
use in public places. That was done
successfully in Holland, Mich., last
year.
Still another grade may collect all
the information which can be secured
on the subject of flies. All grades
may write compositions on "The Fly."
"The Fly's Travels," "Confessions of
a Fly," "Dangers of a Housefly," and
similar subjects. Prizes may be of
fered for the beat essay from each
grade. j

who keep cows to protect them

of three parts flsh oil and one part

When people discuss the fly evil
frankly and seriously they use dirty

but we are bound to consider It for our
own protection, and to take steps to
abate the evil. . ' I
How does typhoid fever spread?
Generally it is communicated when
the solid and liquid food to be eaten
by healthy persons is contaminated
in some manner with human excrement
from someone who has the disease.
This is where the house fly gets in
Its filthy work. Suppose your nextdoor
neighbor has typhoid fever. The
waste matter cast from his intestinal
tract is emptied into the outside toilet
on his premises. Flies swarm about
the toilet vault until dinner time at
your house. Then some of them attend
your meal. They Alight on the
food and poison it with germs?either
from their hairy feet or by depositing
a speck which also contains germs.
Do not pooh-pooh this statement.
Ask your doctor if it is not the gospel
truth. Then got busy and help kill the
flies. Thus you may keep death out
of your own b^rae.
