week of 2 ounces each off lard, but-
ter, tea, and cheese; 1-4 pound
each of oleomargarine, bacon and
sugar; 1 egg when available; and
244 pints of milk. They receive 1
pound of Jam per month.
Mr. Kerr said that before food
and clothing prices were regulated
strawberries were $6 00 per pound
and tomatoes $3.00 per pound. Now
they both sell for 50 cents a pounds
There is a 100 per cent tax on

Warning Against
Danger Of Flies
Issued By Doctor
Millions of flies help to cause
the illness and death of thousands
of children and adults each year
in the United States. Hundreds of
these casualties may be in the
State of Texas this
dents fall in their
for developing the
sanitation measures
where they reside. Typhoid fever,
summer complaint and otther intes-
tinal diseases can be traced to the
common housefly as the carrier of
infection.
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, speaking in this connection
recently said, "Be sure that your
windows and doors are tightly
screened so that stray flies from
a careless neighbor will not endan-
ger your family. Be sure that flies
are kept away from food, drink,
and utensils used in the prepara-
tion of food. Make sure, if you live
in rural districts, that outside
privy vaults are tightly covered as
not to permit the entrance of flies.
Infections from this source can
be picked up and spread to human
beipgs through contact with food,
drink and utensils. Keep all gar-
bage covered until collected or
burled. Eliminate all breeding places
for flies and you will be helping
your community in its work of
controlling communicable diseases
and preventing unnecessary illness.”
