Miss Seylar on Temperance.

At a meeting of the County
Sunday School Association held
in the Auditorium of the Public
School building in this place on
Tuesday evening of last week,
Miss Mollie Seylar was invited to
make an address on Temperance.
Miss Seylar departed from the
beaten paths of one-time lectur-
erers on this subject and handled
it in a very entertaining and in
structive manner from the stand
point that, since the so-called
sterner sex is not making very
great progress in the matter of
eliminating the acknowledged e.
vii of the liquor habit, it is but
fair to all that the other sex be
given a free hand to do so by the
ballot. We might add for the
speaker that nearly all the inter-
est in the question has been in
stigated and kept alive by the
ladies of our fair land, not only
by their personal work, but by
contributions from their some
times scanty supply of what men
call filthy lucre" which was in
all cases earned by the ladies',
whether it came from the amount
often grudgingly given by their
life partners, or directly earned
by themselves in the various vo-
cations open to the gentler sex.
This being the acknowledged fact
of the matter, made the address
logical and forceful, and Miss
Seylar held the close attention of
her audience throughout the en-
tire time allotted for the lecture.

MellOtt Seeks Reflection.

From the StarIndependent Harr'burg)
Among the names of members
of the State House Of Represen-
tatives who are seeking re-elec-
ton next fall is that of George
B. Mellott, of Fulton County.
Although the district represented
by Mr.. Mellott is one of the in
terror counties and does not have
the advantage of any railroad
facilities as yet, Representative
Mellott has done much to bring
Fulton county into prominence.
He was a hard worker in the
Legislature and frequently could
be seen at his desk making a
study of prospective laws and in
and out of session. When a vote
was taken Mr.. Mellott generally
knew the details of the bill upon
which he was voting.
Mellott was especially active in
opposing the hunters license bill
and insisted upon several occa-
sions that it was unfair to the
citizens of a district such as he
represented. He took part in the
fight for an appropriation for the
payment of a bounty on noxious
animals. He also favored legis-
lation for better roads. Mr.. Mel
lott introduced six bills in the
last session and was successful in
having three of them placed on
the statue books as laws.

"Swat The FIy."

Get ready now to swat the fly
in 1914. The most approved
method is not to wait until the
fly is flying to swat him, but to
swat him indirectly by destroying
his breeding places. A Bucks
county woman received the fol-
lowing advice when she wrote to
State Economic Zoologist Surface
Harrisburg, about the matter,
and every farmer, as well as city
dweller, will find himself able to
help in the war of determination
by following the suggestions:
Replying to your inquiry as
to the proper method of combat
ting flies, | can say that | ear
nestly Recommend this be done
by destroying the ir breeding
places, They breed or multiply
in filth; such as the cleanings
from poultry houses and stables.
If stables are kept thoroughly
clean and the manure busted oc-
casionally with ground phosphate
rock the flies will not breed in it.
This will also greatly improve the
fertilizing qualities of the ma
nure for the soil and will more
than justify the effort from this
standpoint. The rule is one
pound of ground phosphate rock
for each 1000 pounds of animal
in the stable, scattered daily ov-
er the droppings. If persons
would look carefully after the
stables, the pig stys, and poultry
houses, etc., there would be no
difficulty in keeping down the
flies.
while a few flies will hiber-
nate or pass the winter in the a
dult stage, many more are in the
chrysalis stage in places of pro-
lection near where they fed as
larvae. | do not think a re-
ward for fly gathering now would
do much good, as most of them
are where they can not be reach
ed"
