sWATTINa FLIES WITH SOAP
Kansas City Physician Bevlses. an Ef-
ficient Method OF Destroying the
Household Pests,

A physician living On the
South side has invented a rather
novel method of ridding his house
Of flies. An ordinary drinking glass
half filed with soapsuds is placed in
a convenient window sill. 4 slice
Of bread with a small hole cut in
the middle and spread on the under
side with molasses, covers the glass.
The flies, alighting on the bread,
crawl through the hole to get to the
molasses. There they are soon over
come by the fumes of the soapy wa
ter and fall into it. In few hours
the glass is filled with them. The
physician is very enthusiastic over
the invention, for, he says, it is
much easier than chasing flies all
over the house and then killing only
a few.
"It is also safer," he added, ethan
the method l read Of in Tuesday
evenings Star, telling Of a grocer
who used a pan of formaldehyde. I
do not doubt the success of the plan,
but fofmaldehyde is deadly poison,
and it would be a bad thing to keep
around the house where there are
children. The soapsuds method is
convenient and cheap and brings ex-
cellont results" KANSAS City Star.
