FINDS WATCH AFTER SEVEN
YEARS.

Walton, N. Y, Aug. 13.-John
Blencoe, of Kelsey, lost his watch
and chain seven years ago. Mr..
Blencoe was haying upon his farm
at the time and in some way, un-
known to him, his solid gold watch
and chain was lost in the hay field
and not trace of it could be
found.
He was recently in the same field
moving hay and the moving ma
chine was not working very well.
He got off the seat and walked
around the machine to the side of
the knife section. There he noticed
something fastened to one of the
knife guards. STOPPING over to in
vestigate, imagine his surprise to
find his watch and chain, bright and
in fairly good shape, except that
the hands had rusted off and the
works were rusty.

Gus germs and microbes in direct
contact with their human victims.
Man made the fly by carelessness
in the disposal of filth The fly in
habits the dwelling places of man,
finding more to encourage it than to
discourage. Now man must unmake
the fly. The State of Utah has
adopted the slogan Man must kill
the fly or the fly will kill the man."
In many cities rewards are being Of
fered for systematic determination
of flies. The tiny assassin, hitherto
ignored because of his diminutive
size and familiar appearance, now
has a price set upon his head. Men
and women, and even children are
rising to swat the fly" In one
small city the result of few days
campaign was ten barrels full of
dead flies as a public exhibit.
Every family should join the cam
paign, and by strict cleanliness of
rooms and grounds and aggressive
warfare against every intruder
should Danish the house-hy forever
from the home.
If you want a moral lesson from
the plague of flies, think it over and
discover the things for which the
fly is a symbol You will find it
easy to draw the parallel point by
point. Few of our boys and girls,
or our men and women are attacked
and destroyed by the great sins,
which are so quickly recognized and
so easily stunned. But the little
temptations, the little deceits, the
little meannesses come swarming
into our homes like the poison-bear-
ing flies, and the germs of sin they
bring eat into the character with
deadly effect.
A malicious bit of gossip told in
an easy way about some absent
friend or neighbor is laden with
poison for the mind. Bzz-zz-zz!
Swat the fly!
A cross or sneering rejoinder in
some trifiing family dispute fastens
its sting in the very soul. Bzz-zz-zz!
Swat that fly!
Just little carelessness of the
truth in telling of some event or
some person starts a disease of dis
honesty in the one who tells the
story and may carry a vicious hurt
to the one who is the subject of re-
mark. Buzz-zz-zz! Swat that fly!
Just a little selfishness; just
little ill-temper; just little irrever-
ence; just a little laughter at
coarse jest; just a little dallying
with impunity; just a little indul-
gence in sin while it looks harmless
all the swarm of moral insects
that have been so common and have
seemed so harmless to us because we
have not considered their real char
acter-When we examine them
through the magnifying lens of a
pure heart and a conscience void of
offense we find that they are danger
Gus wild beasts sent upon us out of
the pit. Join the campaign of ex-
termination. Swat the fly!-Chris-
tian Herald.

NEWS FORECAST FOR THIS
WEEK.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. r.
In the interval between the Pro-

LEAVES SMALL FORTUNE.

William c. Woodward, of Waver-
ly, died at the Tioga county, n. Y,
county farm last Sunday, aged SO
years. Mr.. Woodward had been at
the farm about two years, although
at the time of his death he was
worth about $4,000. This sum was
left to him last January, but at the
time his mental condition was such
that he was declared incompetent
and he realized little pleasure from
his good fortune.

THE PLAGUE OF FLIES

"Swat the hy!" is a new national
slogan that makes up in efficiency
what 1t lacks in elegance. Newspa-
pers and magazines are teaching 1t to
the people. Photographic exhibits,
moving pictures, and scientific ex-
periments are being employed to
drive it home. State and municipal
authorities are urging it upon their
citizens. Even the pulpits ring with
the new slogan Swat the flyl"
One of the ten plaques of Egypt
has been upon us for years and we
have not realized it. The awful re-
suits have been charged to other
causes. 1t has been hard to interest
the people seriously in so common
place a thing as flies. The little pest
has been a subject of banter and
joke. 1t has collaborated with the
baldheaded man in supplying the
professional humorist with material
for mirth. At the worst it has
aroused only the impatience of ir-
ritable humanity. We have fished it
from the milk and dug it from the
butter. We have shooed it, and laid
all manner of traps for it, as an
inevitable part of the summer rou-
tine, regarding it, the while, merely
as something sent to annoy us and
try our patience; for after all 1t was
nothing but the common, insignifi-
cant house-fy.
But scientists have been busy in
vestigating the formation and habits
of the tiny creature, and suddenly
they have revealed facts which star
tie the world. No longer can the
common house-fy be treated with in
difference or mere petulence. 1t
must receive the most serious and
aggressive attention. 1t is a matter
of life and death to thousands of
men, women and children.
This busy buzzing little beast,
the common house-fy, is the most
dangerous and deadly wild animal
in all the world. More persons are
killed by it every year than by all
the other poisonous insects, all the
snakes, and all the beasts of prey
combined. More persons fall victims
each year to the common house-fy
than are killed on all the fields of
battle throughout the world.
Capture one of the most insight
ficant looking flies buzzing around
your baby's head as she lies Sleep
ing, put the fly under a microscope,
and at once its character is revealed.
You can hardly refrain from start
ing back in horror at the thought
that your baby is constantly being
attacked by so terrible a beast.
Each foot of the fly is covered with
claws and little stick hairs. You
have seen many times how the fly
is continually rubbing his feet to-
gether. He does this to scrape off
everything that adheres to his feet
and legs. These sticky feet are
loaded with germs and microbes
deadlier than bullets, and the fly
industriously wipes them off on
your baby's face or on your food.
Flies feed on filth. They flourish
only where refuse or filth of some
kind exists. They bring typhoid
germs from sewage and deposit them
in the home. Intestinal diseases
which afflict so many thousands of
persons come from the feet of the
house-fiy as they bring the poison
