HERE ARE HINTS &
ON BESTING FLIES

Flies and mosquitoes are invading
the city in swarms. These pests are
sufficiently annoying to make a good
deal Of effort worth while to get rid
of them. even if there were not the
serious additional reason OF their
carrying the most deadly diseases
around to every human being within
reach Kerosene poured on rain bar
rels and on stagnant pools forms a
covering which will prevent mos
quitoes from breeding. and a clean
back yard will discourage flies, who
are in search of garbage and debris
piles. Other health hints given by
doctors are that a feather duster or
dry rag will spread dust rather than
gather it up. damp cloth and a
wet broom will take up the dust
without sending il whirling through
the air to light somewhere else.
