The woman who is not near the markets varies her menu with a round of visits to the pork barrel, die smokehouse and the corned beef supply, returning ever and anon to the pork carrel. If her pin money is not too dependent upon the labors of the hens, eggs form a most acceptable variation to the menu, and if the creamery does cot make too great a demand, fresh milk and cream are a mos. satisfying part of her bill of fare.

pies of refuse are lound in bones of meat, oyster sBells, apple cores, peach pits, orange skins, etc. A large and necessary proportion of the weight of the body is made up of water, and water must be furnished to the aycum in foods and in beverages in order to keep up tbe supply. It Is not usually taken into consideration ai a nutrient. Ordli*ry foods contain water In .Juice or if particles too small to be seen. Some is always chemically combined with other con-

stituents.

The balanced ration should contain the proportion of prweein. carbohydrates aod laM which will produce tbe host results. Occupation, temperament, climate, personal peculiarities of digestion all vary to an extent which makes It Imposslu.e to form a fixed rule for all cases, although general ever ages have been adopted. The changes which food undergoes In the body are largely due to oxidation. Therefore, from the amount of heat which a food is capable of yielding may be estimated the amount of Its

value for work.

The standard of the heat production is the caloric or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of gram of water 1 degree C. Tbe idard amounts ot the different null'll ve constituents required dally ty a man of average build and weight •infer with various authorities so -a- as fat and carbohydrates are concerned, although the amount of protein is similar in alb The standard proposed by I'rof.

triment which can serve for the building and repali of the body. At the same time It supplies energy. But under ordinary conditions it Is too ex- , pi nslve to be used chiefly for this purpose. Examples of protein are found in lean meat, peso, beans, lentils, etc. Fats aod oils supply heat and eaer-

The greater the percentage of water found in animal foods, the lees the amount of fat This group includes the sTsrtSees sugars, end gums and similar chemical bodies, substances which, like fat furnish heat and naergy to the body. Carbohydrates contain no nitrogen whatever. Therefore, they cannot replace protein as a tissue builder. Carbohydrates and fat are needed by the body and the amount required is larger than tbe amount of protein. Carbohydrates supply beat and energy to the body the same as 'tats, but to a less degree. For the energy and heat needed for tbe body, about two and one-fourth pounds of starch and sugar equal a pound of fat.

0. L. Howard, chief of the division.

Already ive been

roards and farmers throughout the jountry. The necessity baa been urged >f having better sanitation In tbe rural listricts. At a result of various experiments It Is thought that the number of files will be rapidly and enormously lessened during the preseat

summer.

The pamphlet* sent out by the gov ernment will give to the people some information concerning files that hitherto has been In posaessionof the scientist almost exclusively. Uwllldlspel Ihe Illusion that the common housefly bites, but It will call attention to the fact that this insect, the Musca domesica, is a dangerous creature. Dr. Howard has the following to «ay about files: "With disease caused by bacterial Trganiama (which belong to the plant kingdom and not to tne animal klngJom) a biting Insect Is not necessary •or their transfer from the sick Indlvldinl to the healthy one in the majority sf cast*. Such diseases are notably typhoid fever, cholera and pulmonary consumption. "With these diseases, and especially the first two. the agency of the nonblting flies becomes important, and the part they play in the transmission of ryphold fever is particularly notice-

able.

"It has been known for some time that files carry bacilli and bacteria on their feet. This was experimentally proved by allowing files to walk over :uUure. for later, when they walked over sterilized media, the bacteria developed. "Moreover as early as 1888 It was known by an Italian Investigator that files fed upon pure cultures of typhoid bacillus were able to transmit virulent bacdll. Again, early obsorvaton demonstrated that files are Important agents in the transmission of Asiatic cholera. "Typhoid fever, as will be remembered. doubtless, was astonishingly prevalent In the military camps of this country during the war ^Ifb Spain. At that time tjie disease received a thorough investigation at the hands of a ipeclal commission of army surgeons appointed for the purpose. "It was shown that although excellent preventive measures had been recommended in tbe circulars Issued by the Surgeon-General of the army, these Instructions were not carried out. "Flies swarmed over the Infected filth that accumulates around a camp and then proceeded to mess tents and fed upon the food pepared for the soldiers. Thus, by the agency of flies It was discovered and proved beyond a doubt disease germs were spread and carried to the food of the soldiers. "For some time past I have been carrying on an Investigation for the pur pise of acertalnlng want files breed In refuse of various sorts, and eouriTtely, Just what flics are found In dining room# and kttchous where fcr'.l 1 being prepared and served. These Investigations i have conducted v Uh the greatest care and in different parts of tbe country. "In this way a large amount of material has been gathered. Briefly summarized, we have found that the number of species of Insects which breed In filth containing germs Is very large not less in fact than forty-four species of beetles and seventy-seven species of flies. Some of these are scarce and others are abundant, but all are more or less dangerous as carriers and transmitters of disease. "Now in the experiments carried on in order to ascertain exactly which ones of these are Important in the disease breeding function, more than 2,300 files were caught in kitchens and

“It was proved that of the files bresdlng in filth, tlx species were found In houses In Sufficient numbers to render them dangerous. There are other dangerous species which do not make their rendezvous In kitchens and dining rooms. “At the bead of these six varieties must stapd the common house fly. This Insect constituted more than #8 per of the whole number of files in kitchens and dining rooms. "While It waa by no means one of

garbage and other refuse. H was shown conclusively that under certain conditions that Insect may be a factor of the greatest Importance in tbe spread

of Intestinal diseases.

"In the most cleanly and best cared for portions of a large city these conditions of course do not exist. The admirable water supply and sewerage systems in inch localities obviate in a Urge measure typhoid transfer poselblttles. Yet even In sod/places the

danger may exist

"But In army camps and In small towns and about fanners'

rasponsi In the 1

mouth parts this is a physics: impossibility. But it Is none the leu dangerous for that reason. "W ‘le It does no: inoculate the individual as the mosquito does It Is most active agent In the transmission of dlsbecause It communicates the germs to tbe food eaten by people. "In certain sections of tbe country there la a common idea that files bite before a rain. .Ths Is true, but It Is not the housefly that does the biting. It Is the stable fly (Stomoxye caldtrans) which has a particularly exasperating bite, which U also to a certain degree

dangerous.

'This is the fly which is probably msible for the transfer of surra

Philippines. The approach of

a storm frequently drives it into dwellings, where it Is a source of keen an-

noyance to the occd(fcnts.

' The other species of files which ar# of especial Importance are the littis fruit files (Drosophla ampelophila), so commonly found in houses In the autumn, attracted to overripe or decaying fruit, which sometimes swarm In great numbers about the fruit stands in the markets. These also breed in filth and play an Important part In the disease-

transfer relations.

"There is also the species kriffwn as the little house fly (Homalomyia earn Icularls) a small Insect with a light-col-ored abdomen, commonly found on windows, and so much like the ordinary fly that it can hardly be distinguished from 1L It has. however, a piercing proboscis and bites severely. There are also the forms known to entomologists as Phoro fermorata and

Sarcaphaga trivial is.

'That Is enough concerning the variety of files. In brief the results of these observations indicate: "In the Interest of health, and especially as obviating the possibility of the transfer of typhoid fever by flies, filth of every description should be removed or juried forthwith. ' Every effort should be made ^ boards of health in cities and by pravate persons in the country to limit tbe breeding of the common housefly. In addition there should be a strict supervision of stables in which horses are

kept

"I have found by careful experimental work with different Insecticidal substances that clorlde of lime is the most efficient thing that can be applied to filth accumulations in such places, but the trouble Is that chloride of lime Is rather expensive. At the stable of the department of agriculture the refuse of the stalls 4s gathered In one spot and treated to chloride of lime, the experiment provng so successful that thi number of iouse files in the Whole neighborhood has been lessened u a remarkable etent "How do we propose to make war on IWj. peris? That Is simple enough. The division of entomology will send out literature of which a vast amount Is being publlsheltohealth board sand committees and Individuals all over tbe United States directing them as to the means and materials to be used in killing off flies and employing preventive measures for the spread and transmission of disease germs by these In-

sects.

"While this Is being done expertmenu will be conducted by the government experts to discover more efficient methods for carrying on the campaign. Our first efforts will be to urge upon the people tbe necessity of care. "Extermination, as far as possible, will come later." y ' A REVERSIBLE BANK NOTE.
