A TORNADO is a local, restricted example of a cyclone. It
oddom travels the breadth of one state, and is of short duration.
A cyclone travels over continents, lasting for days, but after it has
roared on its way, the damage may not be worth mentioning,
while the little tornado, in its few minutes of existence, has left
death and destruction.

AUSTIN.—"The common housefly
possesses two deceiving characteris-, «
tics. A* Insects go, It Is not offensive I (
In appearance and it is so common
that its presence is to a degree ac-
cepted. Nevertheless, the fly is a
very real threat to good health. It
is estimated that the fly is respon-
sible for 40,000 deahs annually in
America. Its efficiency as a spread-
er of typhoid fever, infant diarrheal
Infections and tuberculosis is well
recognized by the medical profes-
sion," states Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer.
“We have, even so, made such
progress against the disease-spread-
ing fly. The screening of homes and
a sanitary consciousness both In ur-
ban and rural communities, have
GET RESULTS-
reduced the fly’s disease-spreading
ability. We all must realize, how-
ever, that in the rural areas of Tex-
as there are still many properties
lacking sanitary pit privies and
adequate screening; and in cities
and towns exposed garbage and
fllth are permitted inexcusably to
exist as breeding spots for flies.
‘It is such carelessness that still
makes possible widespread fly hav-
oc. There is no reason to tolerate
fly-breeding conditions, especially
in congested metropolitan areas.
Even in the rural sections, adequate
sanitary protection, household
screening and fly-swatting will
greatly neutralize the damaging po-
I tentialities of barnyards and cow-
lots.
"The fly must be recognized for
what it is, despite,its innocent ap-
Jpearance and lack of sting. It will
j then be appreciated that no effort
is too great to help destroy it. And

the only tire with two treads, makes it unsurpassed
