SWAT THE FLY.

ThiS iS the principal breeding season of the fly. At this time of the year the fly will breed five hundred eggs. In turn each of these will breed 100, and so on 10 the end of the warm weather they will continue to increase with incredible rapidity, though in a reduced ratio. The progeny "f one fly will run into the mIl- lions by the end of the season. It is universally conceded by our health boards and the medical profession generally, that much of the disease with which We are afflicted, is transmitted to Us through the fly, whose breeding .'lacc is found in manure and of tal and other dccaying animal matter which rccks with disease hearlnE germs. As we shun sickness so should We avoid con- tact with the pcsky household insect. To rll ourselves of the hnuSrny w" should remove their hrccding places: cart away ma nurr piles, old cans and other WIS" clean our premises: use chloride of lime freely in our lat"rin"s and kill Ihr insects whenever an opportunity offers and the occasion should be made IT none presents itself. Every fly killed now will mean millions less q few months hence. Less flies will mean less disease and more comfort. Let Us now begin a campaign of cXtcrIninaliun and 'hr PrnSpectnr promises you more comfort and a plraSantrr summer for your pains.

introduced by Congressman Sheppar,.

The idea Of reaching the situation

that was known before as the Hep

founded on the principle that the
State should be given Jurisdiction over
shipment Of liquor into it's borders.
Such bill once passed the house, but
when it reached the senate it got

effectually put to asleep. Now It is
