speaking of flies. are you a member OF
the swatting crusade? If not. join
Everybody's doing it. Doing what!
Swatting flies. and IL you would live to
be healthy. wealthy and wise you'd
better get into the ranks.
II some one told you that that dell
cious apple pie was inoculated with
typhoid germs. how quickly you would
push 1t away in fear and disgust. and
yet you nonchalantly shoe on the
germy fly that is crawling around its
crust and consume 1t with relish,
There's danger in that pie. There's
death in that fly. Swat him:
Watch your homes. Burn the IN
necessary rubbish and waste as soon
as possible. Keep scrupulously clean
Don't dump dirt; destroy 1t with
cleansing fires. One Of the easiest
ways is to start the children swatting.

Flies are prolific. Each one you hit

SWAT THE FLY!
The Best Ely Poison.

The most highly recommended fly
poison is formalin mixed with sweet
milk and water in the proportion of
eight teaspoonfuls Of formalin to a
quart Of the mixture. Such a poison

REALLY A MOONLIGHT SONATA
Beethoven's Beautiful Music Com

Queen of Night.

The story runs that Beethoven's
Moonlight sonata-always so called.
though he so rarely gave descrip-
tive name to any Of his works-was
composed on an occasion when he had
been playing to some stranger folk by
chance. Walking with friend he
overheard In an humble house some
one playing with much feeling bit
of one of his sonatas. He paused to
listen. In a moment the music ceased
and girl spoke longingly of her wish
to hear some really good concert. The
voice was so appealing that the COM
poser stepped without hesitation to
the door and knocked. Admitted to
the wondering host. he said: 81 will
play for you." and played wonderful.

with the moonlight filling the room he
began to improvise-the mysterious
delicate breathings of the beginning
Of that wonderful sonata. then the
tricksy elf-like second part and the

The lawyer looked at his client in

have been full of it. Police brutality,

sion and, forming little groups, the
room soon presented an animated
scene. The women in their smart
gowns and the men in their black
coats made pleasing picture.
MY dear Mrs Jeffries, how do you
do this EVENING"" exclaimed a rich,
deep voice.
The hostess turned to greet an ell
derly and distinguished-looking man
who had just entered. Directly he
came in voices were hushed. and on
every side. one heard the whisper:
There's Judge Brewster. the fa-
nous lawyer"
There was a general craning Of
necks to catch glimpse of the emf
nent jurist whose brilliant address to
the Jury in recent cause celebre
had saved an innocent man from the
electric chair.
Richard Brewster was a fine ex.
ample of the old school statesman
lawyer of the Henry Clay type. He
belonged to that small class of public
men who are independent of all
coteries, whose only ambition is to
serve their country well, who know
no other duty than that dictated by
their oath and conscience A bril-
liant and forceful orator. there was
no office in the gift of the nation that
might not have been his for the ask
Ing, but he had no taste for politics.
After serving with honor for some
years on the bench he retired into
private practice, and thereafter his
name became one to conjure with in
the law courts BY sheer power of
his matchless oratory and unanswer.
his clients and 1t is tribute to his
name to record the plain fact that In
all his career he never championed
cause of which he need be ashamed.
Powerful financial interests had at
tempted to secure his services by of.
fers of princely retainers, but with
out success. He fought the trusts bit
terly every time he found them op.
pressing his profession.
Alicia advanced with extended hand.
"This is indeed kind, judge" she ex-
claimed with gracious smile. II
hardly dared hope that my poor musi-
Gale would be so honored."
The old lawyer smiled good-humor.
