Why the House Fly Should Be Bzterminated.
By Agnes Cronin Third Prize
For Children Between the Ages of and -.

They come In our houses and get in our
food They take small bits Of our food
to other peoples houses. This Is how
they spread disease We should never
let a fly In our ears or mouth as they are
poison. They sometimes get in our but
ter as we spread 1t on our bread. There
fore we should be very careful as this
causes disease. The best way to be rid
Of flies is to have plenty Of fypaper
around and screens in every window and
screens in doors. Do not leave any food
of any kind around as this draws flies.
Always keep your garbage cans closed
as flies gather around open cans. Never
allow flies in sick room as they spread
the disease and are also very worrisome.
Sometimes the flies alight on the paper
and do not die right away. Be very
careful that they do die as they may get
off and get the sticky paste on our food.
Sometimes when we go on picnics they
go In the dirty water and then on the
food that we are eating. If you are eat
ing you should never let fly on your
food or if you do, you should never eat
il because they might cause sickness and
sometimes consumption or typhoid fever
A baby should always have a mosquito
net or either be put in place where the
flies won't come When the flies bite 1t
looks like the measles breaking out on
you. If you want to be well and happy
get rid of the flies right away.

LIVING COST HIGHEST,
AUTHORITIES REPORT
Prices Claimed to Average Ten
Per Cent More Than
Last Year.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Trade authorities
say that IL costs more to live now than
ever before in the history Of the United
States. except perhaps during war times.
Prices were high a year ago, but today
they are claimed to be on the average
nearly 10 per cent higher.
Food products are the highest on rec
ord. Meat, eggs. butter. fish. potatoes.
coffee. tea, sugar, moiasses, rice. beans
and peas average 81 per cent higher;
wheat. corn. oats. barley, flour. ETC., 33
per cent higher.
Fruits are the only things good to eat
that have grown cheaper during the last
twelve months. but they are still higher
than in 1910. Leather products cost Il
per cent and chemicals and drugs 10 per
cent more than a year ago.
Textile goods, however. are tribe
cheaper.
The average increase in food products
is nearly 20 per cent. which means that
the housewife must pay So to I'LL a market
basket that cost her only So to fill in
June, 1911; in other words, 81 will buy
only fve-sixths as much as 1t did a year
ago. The biggest advances have been in
eat products-beef 20 per cent: hog
products, ~ per cent. and mutton over
- per cent. Dealers lay the increase to
last years poor hay crop and the gen.
eral high cost OF animal provender
Poor crops are also held responsible for
tearer breadstuffs.
Economists differ as to the reasons for
the general upward tendency of all COM
modities during. recent years. which has
been worldwide.
