taught the dangers that lie in the perncious little
fly. Every year. the fly is responsible for thousands
upon thousands of deaths, in carrying disease
germs. The fly is not overly particularly where he

luncheon at the vault, and show his good fellowship
by forcing his oompanionship upon you in your
dining room for the evening meal, where he fits

culosis, it has been determined can be spread by
the fly. Years ago, fly considered a necessary
nuisance but the scientists of the later years. have

purveyor CT deadly germs, and without a shadow of
doubt, are responsible for the spread of much of
our disease. War must be made upon these nasty
little creatures, that pernciousy active from
morning till night. The house should not only be
well screened, but the surroundings must be kept
clean. Uncovered sop barrels, piles Of manure ex-
posed vaults, etc. Over ninety per cent of fly eggs
laid in stable manure, and two per cent in gar
bage and other filth Cover the manure heap with
chloride Of lime, and the pools, with resduum
oil. K using little caution by being cleanly and
by making life for the fly what Sherman said war

inducements on the worn out farms for the
young agricultursts and thousands have come to
North Dakota. Wages in the east very low, often

advice More Of them ought to do it.
The city d Fargo votes today on the proposition
of commission form of government. The two fac
tions have been having an exceedingly warm time,
and have about exhausted all the vicious in
the English language in casting reflections at each
