FOR THE DOCTORS-AS OTHERS SEE THEM. The following is one of several letters from town clerks. Apparently there are reasons why they do not report promptly and accurately. Does this apply to you, doctor? If so report promptly, writing with unfading black ink, as your certificate remains in your town clerk's office as a permanent record. H. D. HOLTON, Secretary, State Board of Health. Dear Sir: Vt., November 29, 1909. I find that the physicians are inclined to be careless and not fully answer the questions in the certificates of births and deaths; and also careless in their penmanship. It is often hard to make out the cause of death. I have written to all of our physicians cautioning them in these matters and hope to get complete returns. I think if the town clerks had circular letters 'over your signature, directed to physicians, which the town clerk could mail to them, it would have a desired effect. Respectfully, Town Clerk.

The house fly breeds preferably in horse manure, though at times in garbage or human feces, the full cycle of development from the egg being nine or ten days. Ritchie DON'T ALLOW FLIES IN YOUR HOUSE.
