To Rid a House Of Flies.

A good way to rid your house OF
fles Is to mix in small watering pot
equal parts OF crude petroleum, or II
that Is not attainable use Kerosene,
and sprinkle all outhouses, barns, gar
bage piles or drains with the mixture.
Then sprinkle the window sills and
wipe off the netting on your screens
with cloth wet with kerosene, and
you will soon see the flies disappear
This, too. will prevent you with being
bothered with mosquitoes. which are
so troublesome this year.
Do this quite often during the sum-
mer months. say two OF three times q
week.
The kerosene not only drives tho
flies away, but when the places where
they breed are sprinkled the eggs will
be destroyed and the household will
be saved from this miserable pest.
This method has been tried and
found to be excellent.
