It Was on July 17, 1mm, that (iwn‘ge S. l):l\'i.~'. than managing the Giants. sent out his new reeruit to relieve Ed. Deheny. The Giants were playing the Brook- lyns on the grounds of the latter team. When Big Six was sent out in the fif‘lll innings. the score stoml 5 to 3. and the Brooklyns had tWo men on bases. Mathewson was new to big league circles and maybe had stage'iriu'ht. Anyway. the Brook- lyns got eight runs off Matty in the four innings, winning 13 to 7.31am- ewson 'was secured by the, (liants from the Norfolk club of the Vir- ginia League, where he had burned up the circuit. It was about a year before he broke into his winning stride and became one of the great popular heroes of baseball. This year his perforn‘ntinces have been outclass- ed by those of Rube .‘lartpiaml.. who is now occupying the limelight that once .was all for the peerless Mathew- son. It the Rube keeps up his pace, the end of the season will probably find the great Ohristy relegated to a secondary place in the affections of the fickle fans of Gothanvtown. Such is life. Matty is a good old wagon. and all baseballdom loves him. but -â€"Hurrah for Marq’uard! “'I‘he Kink is dead! Long live the Kink!" is likely to be the cry before many moons have faded. With the passing of Denton “Cy" Young. Matty is the last of the o.d-time pitchers now wearing the spangles in the best baseball circles. Mathewson will be thirty-two years old next month. which is really patriarchal for a pitcher. ’l‘welve years of steady big league twirling is an excellent per~ formance, but it is probable that Matty is good for several years yet. with a decreasing fame and salary envelope. The marvelous control that was the source of his success is still with him. and as long as he keeps that he is in'no danger of be- ing released. For the last year or two Ohristy has shown a tendency toward husban'di‘ng his powers by permitting opposing teams to hit him freely when hits do not mean runs. but always he tightens up and is the old Matty when the moment of danger comes. That is real head work and sets an example that many a tired business man might follow with profit to himself. Most men. in baseball and business. wear them- selves out when there is no necessity for it and lack the strength and abilâ€" ity to meet a real crisis. “Let the fielders do the work,” has become Matty's motto when things are run- ning along smoothly.

Any house fly, whether caught in ione's room or our in the open. and lallowed to walk over a medium suit- jable for the growth of bacteria and moulds, will deposit the germs of ;these organisms in its tracks. which 'in a short time will yield colonies of baCteria and decay-producing fungi. i SPREAD INFECTIOUS DISEASES w-" “It does not require any play of the imagination, therefore. to appre- ciate the ability of house flies,if they carry about such germs, to infect themselves with the bacilli of typhoid fever, tuberculosis, infantile diar- rhoea, and other similarly infectious diseases. Typhoid bacilli have been obtained from flies frequenting places where the disease existed. It has been found that such flies will remain infected for some time,and also that typhoid and tubercular bacilli can murderous it' given their way. “In the South African and SpanishoAm- el'ican wars they were reSponsihle for more deaths than bullets.“ said he. "Enterie fever in those wars carried oil its thousands. which was not to he wondered at. in View of the preâ€" vailim: insanitary conditions. with open latrines frequented by incipient cases of enteric and myriads of flies swarming: indiscriminately about the latrines and the mess tents. On a smaller scale similar conditions oc- eur in the insanitary districts of our towns and cities and on farms in many localities where the house flies frequent indiscriminately and in turn the privies and kitchen tahles. Once typhoid establishes itself in such places, the house flies will account for the subsequent spread of the in- t'ection. The warmer the weather the more active will the flies be. and with greater ease and rapidity will the disease spread." “Do you hvlievo all flips carry germs?

Boards of health and local authorities should make it illegal to km‘p stahle refuse exposed for more than six daysâ€"that is. a period of .tinu- less than that required by the :ily to pass through its complete de‘ iwlomuent from em: to fly. Refuse thins should he similarly treated. iltefuse slmuld he hurnt.aud it, should die made (-mnpulsury to keep refuse receptacles closed. and consequently fir-proof. The alternative. to render 'surh nuisances innocuous. can he m-cmuplished by the provision of darkened fly-proof pits or chambers for the reception of stable refuse, to lhe frequently and periodically re- :mm'ed. Flies may be prevented from 'hrewiint: in such refuse by treating it with such substances as chloride of ilime or kerosene. By scattering {chloride of lime over the refuse after each addition in the closed chamber, or spraying with kerosene (which is inot so effective),-the flies are pre- 1 vented, should they haVe access, from lhreeding in the excremental or vege- l'tahle refuse. But the removed method is the most successful wherever it can be accomplished; and in the case of small stables this is not impos- sible. In houses it is not. sufficient to proni-de fly screens to windows and doors, but such foods as milk ’and. sugar, to which flies are espe- cially attracted. and w-hich.are more lthan usually suited for the reception 1of whatever chrms they are carrying, ishould he carefully covered with , muslin. " l‘lr. Hewitt told of a particular in- stance of where flies had been re- sponsible fora number of deaths through the uncleanly handling of milk on the farm. In August of 1909 the wife of a dairyman of. Denver, (‘01., took typhoid and remained at home three weeks before going to a hospital. during the greater part of which time she was doing her ordinâ€" ary work around the dairy. It was on August 28 that she was removed to the hospital, and during the first two weeks of September numerous cases of typhoid were reported in the distriCt. Upon investigation it was found that all the persons afflicted had been received milk from this dairy. The dairy supplied 143 per- sons; of thee humber55 were strick- en with typboid,and in all six deaths resulted. pass through the digestive tract of the fly in a virulent condition. and that their dejecta are infective. It has further been demonstrated that flies rented from maggots which have been bred in matter infected with ty- phoid bacilli are infected with the bacillus. "An allied diseaw. infantile or summer diarrhoea. is responsible for the m‘catvst mortality among young ehildren during the summer months. or third quarter of a year. The specific ‘anse of this disease has not. “00" satislartmfily determined as yet. hut it is probably airerm allied to the typhoid harilli. and in the same way that we know the mosquito car- t‘ics the germ oi yellow fever, al- though it has not been discovered,“ is fairly certain from statistical and circumstantial or epidemiological vyidem'e that house flies are the chief atrents in the disseniinatiog of this l°'.\\°1)RlTF.
