A. Z. GRANTHAM,

ways catch more flies than those on
the sunny side.
1t was quickly discovered, in con-
versing with Redlands' fy-catcher,
that he has made a deep study of
the psychology of flies. He knows
how, when and where they breed,
how much damage they do and how
necessary it is to the health of any
community to get rid of the pests.
EVERY one knows he said,
"the real danger of the housety. 1t

AMERICAS FLYLESS TOWN
How it is Done in Redlands

Redlands, California, is not big
place, but it has recently attained
wide fame as the only "fyless"
town in the United States. A worth
while distinction for any place, big
or small, when we remember the
millions and millions of disease
breeding flies turned loose every
summer to plague man and beast.
About a year ago the fly question
was reached in Redlands. 1t was
high time. The weather was hot
and the town seemed to swarm with
these insects. The mayor of that
G;itN recently remarked: THAT
W t don I 90 1t m our town ant, we,
have made Redlands the most un-
healthy burg in the land for a fiv
to try to live in. "
Well, what do you do to get rid
of the fes?" the mayor was asked.
"Go out in the streets of our
town and see for yourself and hunt
up Chapman, our official fycatcher.
He IS the only one in the world. I
think, and he has made good. Hear
what he has to say about flies, - was
the reply.
This advice was taken. AT the
first street corner was noticed a
curious object which proved, on
close inspection. to be a screened
frame, twelve inches square and .
over two feet high, about the size !
OF big square waste basket. 1t /
was fly cage" " The bottom sat /
about two inches from the ground. /
In this bottom was d cone SHAPED
screen with the large opening down.
Under this was placed a banana
peel or other fly delcacy. Inyesti-
CATION demonstrated that the pests
go under the screen and, the light
being above, fly up into the cone
and thence through The small hole
INTO the cage. Naturally it would
take a rather smart fy to ind that ]
ltt!a hole again and get out. Flies

The man or woman who repeats

A NEW IDEA FOR A
CHARMING SACHET
Serviceable as Well as Decorative
Cases for Prefumed
Powder.

EOW0SIs
The great trouble of the handsome
silk sachet is that when the scent fails
they must either be discarded or re-
made. A clever young girl who Is fond
of orris root among her belongings, has
overcome this difficulty in simple
manner.
She makes her sachet cases Of trips
Of ribbon, weaving two or more colors
together. just as kindergarten chill
dren weave paper. The ribbon is cut in
equal lengths. and as many pieces are
necessary as the size of the case re-
quires. The best way to gauge this is
to decide on the size, then divide Its
length by the width Oh the ribbon to
show the number of pieces and cut each
piece a little longer than the width Of
the case
Sometimes the ribbons are woven
into a square, again they are made OBJ
long. The squares are effective when
folded over into a triangle when fin
ished.
The sschet powder is sprinkIed thick
ly on the sheets of cotton batting a
little smaller than the woven case. and
slipped inside. Instead of sewing II in.
the ends of the cover are tied with mar
row ribbon bows. These are put on
according to the shape of the sachet
sometimes at the corners or IL IL is
quite large they must go on the sides
as well.
The raw ends of ribbon left after
weaving are turned under and fastened
with small stitch. Charming color
combinations can be made. Scrviceable
as well as decorative cases can be
woven in tones of brown and ecru or
In two shades OF old blue. More deli
cate tones are of rose and pink and
silver, lavender and pale corn-color,
baby blue, and white.
