The housekeeper can do much in the
way of avoiding house flies by using
screens and fly-peper. by covering food
and by removing all material that VIII
attract them.
Flies light in and walk over all man
rer OF unoican matter and then fly
into the house and spread germs and
Inclealiness over everything that they
come in contact with. Not only do
they carry germs on their feet. but
when fly feeds on the snutum OF a
consumptive or tho wastes from a

diseases are found alive in tho matter
from It's alimentory canal.
Flies may carry almost any kind of

that every time The Youths Compan-
ion enters a home it does that home q

purpose of the publishers exactly. The
paper is not filled with mischievous or
idle thoughts to fill an idle hour. 1t
provides healthy pastime. recreation
that builds up. It is to the minds of
eager and impressionable young people
what sound athletics are to their bodies.
At a cost of less than -four cents a
week The Youths Companion opens the
door to a company of the most distin-
guished men and women:.in America and
Europe. Whether they are revealing
the latest discoveries in science, or de-
scribine great industrial achievements,
or telling of their wanderings in strange.
corners of the world, or feeding the
imagination with rare stories. they are
giving Companion readers the best of
themselves.
Seven serials at least will be pub
lished by The Companion in 1913. and
nearly 200 other complete stories, in
addition. to some so special contribu-
lions, and a treasure box Of sketches,
anecdotes, expert advice as, to athletic
