: TO MAKE A FLYLESS CITY

Cleveland is to be classed and cata
Iogued as a tiyless town. In the cam
patgn inaugurated for the extprmlna.
ton of the fly four steps are outlined:
First.-To educate the people as tc
tho deadly nature of the fly.
Second.-To kill off all winter flies
those hidden about the houses, waiting
their season of forage.
Third.-To do away with all breeding
places for flies.
F~ourth.-To trap all flies that happen
to escape.
As the first step addresses on the
subject are being made before the va.
rious women's clubs and in the schools
of h city. Circulars and booklets viii
be distributed among the children OF
the schools. to be carried by them tc
their homes; posters and Illustrated
bulletins will be placed in the schools,
in the street cars and other public
places, carrying the ermo Of the fly
reform.
The determination of the winter fly
is Il problem for the individual house
keeper. Don't let one fly escape you.
Hunt for them and kill them, for the
winter fly is the most dangerous CT the
race. The winter fly is the mother Of
all next summers terrible thrOng.
To do away with the fly breeding
places is merely a matter Of cleanli
ness, for the fly Is a scavenger, a lover
Of filth and an habitual follower after
all that is unclean and unwholeSome
Clean houses, gardens and yards, clean
streets and alleyways discourage the
fly In Its breeding proclivities, and
therefore the doctrine of cleanliness is
to be preached by the antl-fly cru
saders, along with the sermons on the
deadly character Of the insect.
And carrying out the fourth step all
the house furnishing stores In the city
will be asked to carry IN stock and
push the sale Of fly traps, marvellous
little wire screen houses to be baited
with milk, wherein a fly once entrap-
ped ls doomed, with the campaign OF
education will be given complete In
structiOns for the use Of the fly trap,
which may be placed IN porcheS or
window stills, on garbage pals any
where that files are likely to co lgre-
gate, but always on the outside OF the
house-always outside. Catch the fly
outside Of the hous9 befors it hzs a
chanos to come in and spread its poi
son and dissass.
This city is to be divided into dis
tricts and each district divided fgaln
into clans and clubs, and from each
center, small or large, branches will
reach out, graphing with the ubject
in whatever way seems best adapted
to that individual section,
Death TO the fly is to be the battle
cry. 1t 10 to be a fight of man against
his snemy the fly and Of the fly a%sainst
man.

It's hundred to one that you

It has disappeared.

patrons showed that the back stamp
was not referred to once in a thousand
times - that At was hardly ever

HIGH SCHOOLS in THE COUNTRY

HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY.
L. L. Friend, State supervisor of
high schools, is strong advocate of
equal education for the country and
city youth, and has possibly done
more to bring Tits ideal educational
condition IN West Virginia than any
other man, In the State, In "HigR.
School Bulletin No, S. Just issued,
Mr.. Friend says; ,,L ..at% !,
Country boys, and girls should
have as good opportunities as those
who live in town. The fact that a
boy lives in town does not necessarily
make him more capable or more de.
serving, nor does 1t make him worth
more to his State than the boy who
lives in the country Give. the coun.
try boy an equal chance with the boy
who lives in town and he will at
least equal him in achievement. An
equal chance, however, means, among
other things, equal school advan.
tages. These the country boy does
not now have in many sections of
West Virginia"
There are States around US that
boast Of having high schools within
convenient reach of all boys and
girls of high school age. Why should
we remain behind these States in a
matter OF SO great importance as
public education"
