GET RID OF THE FLY.
The How and Why Told by DIR.
Leuty.

In these days of advancing SANTA
ton, and especially at this time of
the year when every one is or should
be making a special effort to clean up
all rubbish, manure piles and the like
so that our town will be sanitary and
healthful, the thought comes to mind.
Why not take another step in advance
and do what we can to eradicate the
fly.
We all know that the common house
fly is a germ carrier. That he will
feed on dirty filthy things whenever
he finds them and later visit someone's
table, walking over the food thereon
with his dirty feet. The fly is a
source of annoyance in many ways, so
many in fact that space will not be
given here to enumerate them.
The question therefore is. what can
be done to prevent this fly nuisance :?
First of all we must say that to &C.
complish anything worth while it needs
cooperation. Every one in town
should take hand in helping to stamp
out the fly.
Just a word here in explanation as
to how this can be done. There are
always a few mature flies that hide
away in some protected place in the
fall where they live through the
winter. These flies come out in the
warm spring days and deposit their
eggs in manure piles, garbage piles,
or in fact any place where sufficient
food, moisture and warmth will be
supplied while the larvae grow into
the mature fly.
Each one of these old flies lay in
the early warm days of spring thou
sands of eggs which in the course of
about IA days develop into the mature
fly. These in turn lay more eggs and
the increase goes on very rapidly.
Usually we do not think much about
the pesky fly until long about the mid
die of the summer at which time there
are swarms of them, then about all
we can do is to screen them out of
houses and business places and to
catch what do get in with sticky pap
er and poison.
To make the crusade against the fly
successful we should first clean up the
town we'll of all breeding places and
keep them so during the hot months.
second we should trap and poison the
flies that winter over, and right now
is the time to do it, during the months
of April and May. The traps and
poison should be kept in use all sum-
mer long but will accomplish the
greatest good if used early.
The traps and poison should be put
near where the breeding places are.
The most effective trap we knoW@=ef
is one made of screen wire with a
funnel at the bottom so arranged that
the fly when attracted by bait crawls
up through the funnel and is thus
caught in the trap. The best bait to
use is plate of milk placed immedi
ately under the funnel.
Arrangements will be made so the
traps can be purchased from the hard
ware store at small cost and every
family should procure one early and
get busy catching the early fly. ]
am sure by so doing the flies will not
be nearly so numerous this summer
as we have had them in the past.
I may add that this is no experiment
as it has been tried out in other places
and has proven we'll worth all it's cost.

Cats In Ancient Eqypt.

The ancient Egyptians treated cats
with great distinction. 1t was a crime
to kill them, and when they died they
received public burial, at which the
people mourned. having first shaved
off their eyebrows as a token of sor-
row. The most prominent cats were
upon death embalmed in drugs and
spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those Of kings.

SAY MINE is MAN KILLER
Fee Owners of the Norman Cancel
Lease With Steel Trust.


Lease With Steel Trust.
Pointing to the fact that nineteen
lives have been lost in the last eight
months fee owners of the Norman
mine at Virginia have filed notice of a
cancellation of the lease, which runs
to the Oliver Mining company, a sub
sidiary of the United States Steel cor
poration.
The fee owners say the mine is be.
ing operated in reckless manner and
that it is being ruined for all future
use after the lease expires next year.
1t is said another cavein occurred a
few days ago, when scores of lives
would have been lost if it had hap.
pened twenty minutes earlier or be-
fore the men quit work. The fee own.
ers are said to be planning suit for

Endorsed at Home
Such Proof as This Should Con-
vince any Bennington Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience
when il is for the public good is an
act Of kindness that should be appre-
ciated. The following statement
given by a resident of Bennington
adds one more to the many cases Of
Home endorsement which are being
published about Doan's Kidney Pills.

THE GREAT CAMBRIDGE FAIR
August 10, 20, 81, % and g.. Next
Week the Event Of the Season.

WIEN biiC GNCHh VI tUC OCdSOU.
The great Cambridge Fair opens
early Monday morning and closes
late Friday evening. Everything is
now ready and unless all signs fail.
it will be one of the largest and nm
est exhibitions ever seen at Cam
bridge
The early dates this year will be
a splendid advantage as no schools
will be open and parents will not
have to keep their children out OF
school or stay at home because they
are at school, and 1t is perfectly fit
ting that both parents and children
should have a couple of days at the
fair before school opens.
Another important point in favor
of the early dates is the effect they
will have on racing. After two or
three weeks of racing, every horse
has his place He knows just what
he can do and what others can do,
but the fun of horse racing is when
horsemen are finding out just what
they are up against. The racing at
Cambridge will be among the first of
the season and horsemen will not
know where they are at but all will
be fighting for first place. and with
the long list of excellent horses en-
tered, there must be good racing.
During all next week all roads
will lead to the Cambridge Fair.
You can go by rail on regular or
special train, by team, automobile or
aeroplane. Take your choice OF the
way but be sure to get there some
way.
