Pour kerosene literally over all
garbage. Keep little kerosene in
each garbage pail when empty.
II you have a stable, do not let man
ure stand. Chloride of lime on manure
will keep flies away. But, this is ex-
pensive. Remove the manure every
day.
Place in each room of the house
saucers containing diluted Tornado
hyde. Two teaspoonsful Of Tornado
hyde in a pint of sweetened water
will form supply for several rooms.
Keep small children away from this,
as it is poison. There are liquid fly
poisons which are good and the sticky
fly paper helps. But do not let dead
flies remain in the room. Dead or
alive get them out.
Another effective agent is pyrethum
powder When there are flies in the
room shut the doors and windows and
pull down all the shades, leaving one
so that the light comes through a
small slit at the bottom Bring in
stance in a shovel and sprinkle pyre-
thrum powder upon the Goals. The
fumes will kill every fly in the room.
In trying to escape they make for the
slit of light. There they may be
quickly swept up and thrown outside
of the house
Go over your premises every day
and prevent the accumulation of gar
bage, filth. dirt Sweep out behind
doors and radiators. Report to the de-
partment OF health any neighbor who
neglects to remove stable manure or
garbage. or who keeps his premises
in filthy or unhealthy condition.
Keep your garbage in closely COW
cred cans. Don't be afraid to use ke-
rosene in them all the time. Don't let
milk stand in unscreened receptacles.
Keep it on ice all the time, or at
least covered up in cool place. Burn
all refuse.

Upon the merchant rests this duty

the pettiness we have mentioned, anu
cleave to the broader spirit that dares
to lay aside past usages and take up
methods of those outside communities
which are succeeding and forging rap
idly ahead. Frequent contact with
other communities is needed, con.
tact that teaches other methods and
stirs latent ambitions. County fairs
will help, for instance, while excur-

would aid the cause nightly.

that Mr.. AIDE has given Mr.. Turner
ample opportunity to let loose, ant

MANURE AND FLIES.

Those people in the city who have
stables should be forced to cart
every bit of manure from their places.
Manure is one of the most prolific
breedings grounds known to flies,
and they know every ground there is
in all the world A manure pile with
in fifty Yards of house makes that
house dangerous to live in, because
it will be frequented by flies. People
who permit manure piles to accumu'

ecuted for keeping a public menace.
We appeal to people in general to
awaken to the necessity for concert
ed action against the fly. 1t is y
most terrible menace to health, es.
