Kill the Fly!

1t is about the season for the house
fiy-the common, everyday variety-to
sit up and take notice of things; also for
the humans to take notice of the fly
the horrid little thing. The st. Adams
Messenger gives some very good advice
about these little pests, as follows:
1.-The place to begin the war of extermi-
nation against the house flies is their
breeding places in manure heaps, refuse
barrels, garbage cans, etc. And from
now on is the time to begin treatment
whenever signs of life are visible. The
housekeeper will be surprised how much
can be done toward reducing the number
of these pests in one season with a little
vigilance and persistence. And if all the
housekeepers combine in it for several
seasons, with the cooperation of the
boards of health and similar authorities,
there is no reason why the house fly
should not become well nigh extinct,
The fly carries disease and filth with it
and is responsible for nobody knows
how much suffering and death. Make
war on il
All of which is very true and the sug-
gestions should be needed.

Vermont sincerely mourns the death of
ex-Gov. Frederick HOlbrook of Brattle-
boro, at the age of SO years, an age to
which few of us attain in these times of
hustle and hustle. Gov. Holbrook was,
without exception, the oldest ex-gover-
nor of any state in the Union, a man full
of honors and beloved by every Yer
monter. Another prominent Vermonter
who has been claimed by the grim reap
er is John l.. Bacon of White River juno
ton, for eight years state treasurer, and
closely identified with public life for a
score or more of years. In the death of
these two Vermont suffers a distinct loss.
