The association decided some time ago
to test public sentiment with reference
to billboards

falls on their return from Goat Island,
double postcards. One was picture
card and the other a question card. The
one could be mailed to a friend and the
other was to be filled out and mailed to
the association. The questions were. as
to whether the visitor noticed the adj
vertising signs on the Canadian side of
the gorge, whether their effect was pleas

be more likely to buy the article by hav

per cent they were dispfeasing. and 81
per cent replied they would be more dis
inclined than ever to buy the articles ad-

One of the most promising campaigns
the association has inaugurated is that
against the house fly. The wonderful

which the filthy habits of his fiyship we're
portrayed, was brought out by this asso-

will be reminded that the fly is more
deadly than the snake, and that thou

The mosquito is another pest upon
which the Civic Association has turned
Its guns. Realizing how much human
misery. poverty and woe comes from ma
laria and other diseases that are mos

published and sent broadcast a booklet
on how to fight the mosquito. The di-
rections for the warfare are SO simple
and yet SO eff1cacious that if they We're
carried out everywhere the mosquito
would be eXterminated. With the exam
pie at Panama of what the abolition of
the mosquito will do for the public
health, to say nothing of the miracles
wrought i'm Cuba. the people of the
United States have abundant grounds for
assisting the association in its mosquito
warfare.
