E0olinq the Flies

Iu order to rid the house of the few
flies which straggle past the screens, a
simple but ingenious method is de-
scribed as follows in Every Where:
Near the tops of the screen doors and
window screens puhch several holes
from the inside with some instrument
about the size of lead pencil, thus
leaving slightly funnel-shaped aper-
lures, having rough jagged edge on
the outside. This renders it impossible
for the flies to enter through these holes
while the flies which have strayed into
the house the first time they light on
the screen crawl into these holes imag-
lining there is some place on the other
side where they are not wanted and ont
they go. In this manner it is said that
a house can be kept perfectly free of
flies, If one uses reasonable care.
