Much has been said Of late Of the
danger Of having flies around and Of
the best ways Of poisoning them or
otherwise Of disposing of them. A
writer in McClure's contributes to the
discussion by some very pertinent re-
marks on the shame of having flies
What he says applies both to the coun
try as whole and to individual house
holds. England, he tells US, is now al
most without flies, and that because
Of the cleanup work of the last fifty
years. IF we had no decaying organic
matter we should have no files" he
says, and as England has systamatt
ca1ly undertaken to remove and de-
stroy such matter the fly problem fol
her Is solved. AS for the households
1t Is almost an identical proposition
to say that house has many flies or
that 1t has many smells. THE fly
has one supreme motive In life, and
that is to move toward the strongest
smell. He enters the house because
there are more smells inside the
kitchen than out, and once In, he fire.
quents the kitchen because there are
more smells there than in the parlor."
A number of devices for getting rid of
flies, based either on their attraction
toward smells or their attraction tow
ard light of certain intensities, are de-
scrfbed In this article, and prospective
home builders would do well to con-
slider them and have provision made
for some Of them In their kitchens or
other rooms. A useful hint as to kill
ing flies with no other apparatus than
the human hand Is also given. Most
q slow approach Is successful where
swift blow Is not If one brings the
hand slowly above the fly he will stay,
and If one then drops the middle f1n-
ger quietly upon him he will not be
able to detect 1t coming. The work
Of keeping the ny from Matching is
partly q civic and partly q private
duty, in both cases being q work of
cleansing The work. of getting the
dies, when once Matched, away from
the homes Is private duty. Appar-
emily methods for all these tasks arv
available, and have but to be applet
to succeed. Every time we are re-
minded that fly can easily carry six
million germs, most Of them gathered
II the barnyard or the garbage bucket,
we get fresh hint to busy ourselves
at once.

Plensure ana Sacrifice.

An alert little 5-year-old was visit
ing a city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats,
as they passed through in the morn
ing, and her mother had promised
they should come back after shopping
was done and have a ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon, watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to in
duce the passing crowds to patronize
his swan boats.
But when her mother started to-
ward the boat landing, little Elsie
declared very vigorously that she did
not want to go at all, and as her
mother urged her, broke forth in
tears.
This sudden fear was so different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand 1t until
she noticed the boatman's call
He was crying: Come along, come
along-ride clear round the pond
only FIVE cents for ladies and gents
children thrown in!"

SOME MARRIED fluctuations.
BY Clarence L. Cullen.

Did you ever know a fat woman
who didn't say: Why, when I was
married only weighed 10 pounds?''
The tie that binds a good many
married couples Is thus summed up
by themselves: "Oh, I'm used to hay
Ing him Cor herr around"
Few of the new school suffragettes
get it so bad that they refuse to lis
ten when you murmur pretty things
about their eyes or their hats.
Another untadling sign Of a touch
Is when she tells you that she consid-
ers you better looking now than In
that photograph you had taken before
you were married.
A lot Of married men are holding
their breaths and waiting to see how
their wives are going to look when
they get their hair fixed to wear those
new foot and half shakos.
There's a certain type of woman
who, having not much Of anything else
to do, likes to imagine herself the
martyred party of what the spinster
lady writer's call a ''loveless mar
riage."
The male bully is classified and
tabled; but when a woman Is habit
ually rude, brusQue and downright In
sulting, It's said of her that she has
such candid way with her, don't you
Think"
Did you ever feel sort O. wistful
with yourself when you picked up an
English novel and read how the hus-
bands and wives Of the nifty class
over there only meet occasionally at
the weekend parties and the like?

years he was building the cutoff He
Strengthened the Central Pacific Rail-
way by cutting out $50 miles of

nels two miles long, reducing the time

When Los Angeles needed port on
the Pacific, where steamships could
connect with his trains, Mr. Hartman
built great rock wharf, curving far
out into the ocean, to battle success
fully with gigantic waves and afford a
harbor of refuge. He also constructed
a similar and even greater rock wharf
at San Pedro, Cal.

The Chicago husband who hid his
spending his hard-earned savings In
a vacation tour must be brave man.
Few husbands would dare take such
extreme measures In such case. OF
course the fact that he was support
ing a s30-a-month apartment on an
$1S-a-week salary somewhat justifies
him, but still he Is daring to the point
of boldness. What Is a husband for
anyway, but to earn money for the
purpose of supporting wife in com
fort and providing her with any fool
thing she happens to desire.
