flies are bearers of disease and should
be destroyed as soon as possible.

morning. 1t was a little discouraging
ing. because there was only one fly
in the house and 1t was quite agile.

a photograph frame.
Tuesday, nearly killed three
flies this afternoon, but the lamp got
in the way. 1t was a 81 lamp.
Wednesday, saw a fly on the out
side of the fly screen and raised the
screen SO l could hit it. Seventeen
files flew in. l missed it.
Thursday-There was sluggish
looking fly on the window with closed
wings. l stole toward 1t cautiously,
but it flew up just as l let the blow
fall. Then I knew 1t wasn't fly. 1t

triple: "a People do not like to live
in constant presence of some one to
