mixture of castor-oil and resin. For general use, the soapsuds are to be recommended. When using the I- quids, fill the traps two-thirds full.
 There should be one trap for ev- cry pane of glass of at least one win dow in the house. For instance, when the sash contains four panes there should be four traps, two on the bottom rail and two on the cross bars. It is not necessary to apply traps to all the windows. Attach traps to one or two windows in the sunny parts of the house and pull down the blinds of the remaining windows.
 Many different kinds of fy-traps are used in different parts of the world. In Western Australia it is declared that flies may be effectual- ly destroyed by putting a half spoon full of black pepper in powder on a teaspoonful of brown sugar and one teaspoonful of cream. Mix all to- gether and place in a room where flies are troublesome and it is said they will soon disappear.
 Dr. Paul Freer of Mania writes that in the Japanese hospitals they take a whole potato and stick it full of toothpicks, put fly paste on the toothpicks, and hang the potatoes over the patients bed on cord. The flies all gather on the potato. When 1t IS tull they throw the pOtdlO dWdS and make a new trap"
 A 10 per cent solution of ordinary formaldehyde in a shallow dish of water sweetened with sugar will at tract and kill many flies. Dr. Hodge speaking of this method, this year, advised using a teaspoonful of for malin to a teacup of water.
 As the formalin solution is non poisonous to man, it may be used readiK even about food. The flies willAnot object to the presence of the poison in the sWeetened water and eagerly drinking, will die close to the dish, where they may be swept up. The fly committee of the Merchants Association of New York especially recommends the use of this solution. Where it is used, there should be no other liquids in the room for flies to drink. It is especially effective ear " in the morning, when the flies first take wing.
 The fyfighting committee of the American Civic Association has rec commended the burning of pyrethrum powder and the dropping of twenty drops of carbolic acid upon a hot shovel stating that the vapor kills the flies. A few persons have com pfained that neither of these was ef- fective. But this is largely because of lack of purity in the drugs.

opinion he found was in connection with the proposal of Chairman Hay. of the Military Affairs Committee, to make the term of enlistment in the army five years instead of three. The Washington bureau chiefs, with the exception of the staff officers, under General Wood, were in favor of this bill, while the contrary opinion was camps at San Antonio.
 It was said by the men in Texas that a five year enlistment, develop ing as it would, a force of thoroughly experienced men, would make the of- ficers lazy, besides making enlist ments more difficult to obtain. They also pointed out that 1t would make less the number of men with military experience in the nation. as the ar- my would graduate little more than half as many from it's ranks under the five year term as under the pres ent term of three years.

WANTS u. S. TO PAY TOLLS
FOR FREIGHT VESSELS.

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 15.-Secretary
of War Stimson proposed a novel
method of u%pbuildin the American
merchant marine in his speech before
the Commercial Club in this city.
He suggested thai Congress appropri-
ate money to pay the tolls for Ameri-
can vessels using the Panama Canal.
Russia, Austria, Hungary, Germany,
France, Japan, Italy and Spain, he
says, have adopted this policy and re-
imburse the vessels of their merchant
marine using the Suez Canal. When
the Panama Canal is open, he added,
these governments will probably con-
tinue that policy and repay the tolls
imposed upon their respective vessels
which use the Panama Canal.
Unless the United states, he said.
follows the same policy, American YES
sells will be at a disadvantage in the
struggle for trade which will take place
upon the opening of the canal.

NEW FREEHOLDER ELECTION
Is DECLARED ILLEGAL.
Small Board Act May Not Apply
to Morris.

MORRISTOWN, Nov. 15.-Though
Morris County at the last election
adopted the proposition of substituting
the present Board of Freeholders by a
small board, the county will not be able
to put the plan in practise, if what
lawyers say is true. 1t is asserted that
the law distinctly says it does not APP
ply to second-class counties, and as
Morris County comes under hat cat
egory it lets this county out m the
large board will likely be continued.
Under the last classification of the
counties this county is placed in the
second class.
Another question raised is whether,
If the election on the proposition is IL
legal. If the whole county ticket is not
illegal, in that the question had no
place upon the official ballots.
