the work of the city wagons in clean

condition

tr1ct have had some trouble with va.
cant property, but it is hoped that in
the near future the owners of such
will attend to same
Several have complained of vacant
lots being allowed to grow up in
weeds and grass until they are quite
offensive to adjoining property own
ers.
VIII not the owners of vacant pro-
perry take more pride in the looks
OF cur city and not permit these Iots
to become SO unsightly? I would
like TO call the city's attention to a

done to remedy this condition. | feel

by surrounding residents.

paid. He had enlarged his business,
he told us, and wanted a bigger line
than usual, but before making his Sc
lections he wanted us to give him ref
erences. We expressed surprise at
such an unheard Of demand, but he
said, My two brothers-in-law have
gone in with me, and they're very par
ticular as to whom they do business
with So we sent him to our banks,
and he came back, said we were all
right. picked out big line Of goods,
and In sixty days he busted We
couldn't collect a dollar. Two years
later met the man in Cincinnati and
told him we had become reconciled to
our loss. But will you please tell me-

as to our creditT We'll, you see, he
answered, I wanted to know If you

Scott Relics at Abbotsford.

The present estate of Abbotsford was
formed during the years 1911 to 1917
from various small farms. the first
one purchased bearing the 'inharmo-
NOUS designation" CLARITY Hole. After
Sir Walter Scott's death in 1884 a COM
mittee Of friends collected $4,000 to-
ward the redemption Of the estate, and
Mr.. Cadet, the publisher, contributed
the rest on receiving the rights over
Scott's works. The library and mu
scum had been given some years be
fore by the creditors. AS his son,
Lieutenant Colonel W. Scott, died on
his way home from India. the prop
erty descended to ]. X. Lockhart, his
on-in-law, and thence to his daugh-
ter's husband, J. Z. Hope-Scott, whose
daughter held the estate for some
years. Many Scott relics are preserv
ed in the house. notably his chair and

FLIES AND HOW TO ELIMINATE
THEM,

Editor Graphic
At the meeting of the City Beauti-
full Thursday, in the absence of Mrs.
Peck, chairman of the Sanitary Com
mittee I was selected to rep
resent the committee, and to
give to the public, through
the columns of your paper,
some idea OF. at least, a part of what
should be done in the interest of the
health of the city, Frederick j.
Haskin says:
Science has at last succeeded in
exposing the fly and the mosquito in
their true .tcolors, and has proved
that these two little pests have de-
stnoyed more human lives, through
their arts as poisoners, than all the
wars, famines and wild animals of
history combined
This being true, we know of
nothing better far us to do, at this
time, than to bring before our people
some facts with reference to these
pests and to suggest Stone remedies
for these evils. We are indebted for
the information given below, to ar
ticles in the Youths Companion and
Christian Observer. Mosquitoes
breed in stagnant water, and it has
been discovered that the house fly
will breed only where fermentation
has taken place in filth. DR.. Howard
has re-christened the house fly the
Typhoid Fly" because it is such q
carrier of this deadly disease germ

they breed. Very few flies survive

SOME VISIT SUGGESTIONS
President

Editor Graphic Since the lorgani-
uat7nn of the City Beautiful Club
March 10, six meetings have been
held. The organization of the CLUB
has been thoroughly perfected and
the Club IS on a good working OASIS.
This membership roll is seventy-two
and almost all these members have
poid the annual dues Of 81. The &C
complishments of the Club and its
efforts have peen made public
through the courtesy ST the city
papers. 1t may seem to some that
the work has been largely "a matter
of talk and plans, so we beg you TO
consider the short time the club has
been in existence, its lack Of funds
and the weather conditions that have
prevailed the past few weeks.
Judge us kindly, than judge your
SELF Tave you done your part? Is
your name in the Club roll? How
many cities 'jave the pessmists and
knockers built or improved? We, OF
the City Beautiful Club, have no
apologies to make. We believe in our
cause and We will not disappoint
ourselves.

Old cans that get filled with water
are places where the mosquitoes
breed This nuisance could be done
away with by punching holes in the
bottom of cans when they are open

premises is advised.
Valuable Fly Don'ts.
Don't allow flick in your house.
Don't buy food stuffs where flies
are tolerated.
Don't allow your fruits and confec-
tions to be exposed to swarms of
flies. Strike out the evil Dispose
of waste materials in such a way
that the house fly cannot propagate,
for flies breed in all kinds of filth.
So look after the garbage cans. See
that they are clean, sprinkled with
lime or kerosene oil and closely COW

your premises, inspect the neighbor-
hood for fly breeding places Call
the attention of the owner to them
and if he does not remove them, COM
plain to the Board of Health. Keep
flies away from the kitchen. Keep
flies out of the dining room and away
from the sick, especially from those
i'll with Contagious diseases.
Simple Means of Killing Flies.
To clear rooms Of flies carbolic
acid may be used as follows:
Heat a shovel and drop thereon 20
drops of carbolic acid. the vapor
kills the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly

to human life, is bichromate of pot

little sugar. Put some Of this
solution in shallow dishes and dis

Or liquid poisons, the latest cheap
est and best Is a solution of formalin
In water, a spoon full of this liquid
put into a quarter Of a pint of water
and exposed in the room will be
enough to kill all the flie.4
Clifton F. Hodge, professor of BIO

device for using formaEn lconsists
simply in inverting over saucers
large bottles filled with it with hicks
broken in the mouths, the whole con-

in sunny angle of the house Or
