IT'S THE FLY'S TURN NOW.

The ''musca domestica" the "stomoxys calcI-
trans the "drosophila ampelophiIa"-in short the
fly, the common garden variety of fly, after
bringing down the hairs of many generations of
American housewives in sorrow TO the grave has
at last invaded dgniied a region as the De-
partment of Agriculture. The department has de-
cided to exterminate the fly. So long he only
meandered gently over the table, buzzed inside
the patent screen. sat down upon the STICKY paper
thoughtfuly provided for his repose and drove
the housewife TO the verge of insanity to keep him
outdoors, the fly allowed to go his ways in
peace. But DOW that ii has been discovered that
the fly, like his little friend the MOSQUITO carries
germs about with him: the Department of Agricult-
ure has decided that he must go. incidentally. the
American housewife, when she hears this will
probably smile little bitterly and decide that the
Department of Agriculture has undertaken the big
gest job in which II has yet engaged-in short
has bitten off more than IL can chew The de-
partment has begun its campaign by the issuance
of pamphlets through the Division of Entomology
health boards, doctors and individuals all over
the country. asking them TO that no breeding
or feeding places are afforded the little fy-if they

SIDEWALKS.

should be established for side
walks throughout the city without
delay; to the end that walks now
being builded. as well as others to
be made, may be uniform. After
this is done shade trees may be
set out along avenues. which will
add much to the beauty and
