THE ANTI-FLY MOVEMENT.

If warnings and the pleadings Of
health authorities count for anything
this ought TO be a poor summer for
the house fly. There is a natiCn.
wide movement aimed at the elimina-
ton of the pest and. htaggerlng as
such a task may appear, ii probably
could reach approximate accomplish.
ment if everybody turned in aud
worked in accordance with expert d.
rectiCns.
But If 1t be too much TO expect flies
to become extinct in the near future,
1t is well within the range of posi-
bilities to prevent them from being
a menace TO the extent they have
been. By this time the public has be
come well informed as to the dis
ease breeding qualities of the common
house fly and as to the Importance
from a hygenic standpoint, or arrest
ing fly propagation and keeping the
pests out of doors, and especially
away from sick chambers. Disease.
laden flies carry germs from the sick
to the healthy; they are a source of
danger around Kitchens where food
is being prepared as much as In the
chamber or living room.
Now is the time to prepare against
the summer fly invasion A few DAYS
OF hot weather will bring the advance
swarms of the pests. Stray flies al.
ready are in evidence, and the kill.
ing of every early arrival will court
considerably in the general war plans.
II being remembered that a single fiy
may be the ancestor of more than a
million n single season. To keen
the flies out of the house as far as
possible and STAY the intruders that de
fly defensive precautions is a good
general rule
Specific and simple rules from pre-
venting flies from breeding and guard
ing against them within doors are out
lined in a bulletin just issued by tn,

was desperate outlaw, who, after
committing several murders, had been
in hiding for nearly two months in

He had sworn to kill burden for
