Begin Fighting Elics Now.

One fy killed now will amount to
| more than a hundred in June, and
work done now to destroy their breed
ing places will be twenty times as
effective as that done later on. Get
ting rid Of flies is, as l know, a very
difficult matter, and here if anywhere,
| the ounce OF prevention is worth
more than the pound Of cure.
1t should not be necessary to say
| anything more about the fly as an
undesirable citizen" Every reader
Of ours should know by this time
how he is bred in filth and refuse;
how he carries this filth with him
Wherever he goes-to the table, to
the child's face, to the food on which
he alights,-and how he Is not only
unclean but dangerous. That he
carries the germs of various diseases
Is no longer doubted. We have be-
fore us as we write a letter from DR..
George S. Brown Of Birmingham,
Alabama, In which he blames the fly
for most Of the typhoid cases In that
city and tell how a fly may follow a
man or horse for miles perhaps and
carry this dread disease with him.
In fact, from regarding the fly as
only a nuisance, perhaps a neces-
sary one. investigators have come to
| realize that he is by far the most
| dangerous animal in the country. far
| more TO be dreaded than all our

| is hated and feared as never before
because his powers for evil are more
fully realized. If he can not be ex-
terminated, he must at least be kept
out Of the home.
There are two things to do: The
first is to screen the house and KEEP
| the flies out, killing the straggler,
| that get in; the second is to destroy
their breeding places, in the country
! usually the stables and out-h0uses
Begin this warfare right now: s.,
that the house is screened as soon as
possible, and get rid Of all places il
which the lies are likely to breed. lie.

At recent wedding a baby had

SHOCKED THE GUIDE.
Antics of an irreverent Visitor at the
National Capitol.

A big man with fierce. bristling
gray beard and wearing broad brim-
med SLOUGH hat marched down the
main corridor of the capitol. closely
followed by guide at dogfrot.
They had inspected statuary hall and
the rotunda and looked in at the cham
her of the supreme court, and the Wis
itor had made no other comment on
the sights shown him than to utter an
occasional grunt, snort or growl.
The big man paused at the end OF
the corridor and jerked his head to-
ward a earpeted passage.
whats them burglars doing to-
day?" he demanded.
1.-The senate is not In session, sir"
said the guide in. shocked voice.
After the visitor. had departed the
guide sat down on his chair in front OF
the statue OF Daniel Webster and
mopped his heated brow.
That's one kind that comes here,
he said 1--WE have all kinds, but his
style is the hardest to deal with.
Called the senate burglars-you heard
him-and he kicked at everything else
| showed him. That kind comes pre-
pared to kick. They amt got no pa
triotism at all, and a United States
senator amt no more to them than a
doorkeeper. Why, I'm afraid to take
men like him into the supreme court.
Likely as not they'll say something
dsrespectful right out loud. Do you
know what that one said when ! show
ed him statuary hall? He says. Who
are all these crooksT Then he wanted
to know how much all them statues
cost the government and who got the
rakeoff. l told him they were given
by the states, and he said that was
once when the states put one over.
You wouldn't think" said the guide,
with sigh, that patriotic Americans
could come here and be SO callous
about the things they see. They seem
to begrudge giving dollar to be shown
the place where Webster stood when
he made his reply to Hayne. l don't
know what the country's coming to-
