COMMON SENSE
HEALTH NOTES
How to Kill the Flies Before They
are Born and Thus Danish
This Plague.

The summer is almost upon us
and already the common house fly,
stable fly and others are appearing
in small numbers. God bless the
man who first invented screens. Now
is the time to get them up before
the flies get in. But if they are in.
kill everyone of them.
The best way to kill flies, how
ever, Is before they are born. This
can be done easily with Paris green
in the same watery solution that
has proven so effective in the con-
troll of potato bugs. It is equally
reflective as maggot killer when
mixed in a ratio of one pound to
twenty-five gallons Of water and
sprinkled on stable manure and 9TH
er rubbish heaps. A common gar
dening water-pot of water, a tea
spoonful Of paris green stirred in
and sprinkled on fresh manure, a
fiy's favorite nesting place, and the
flies from the stable will not need
swatting. Paris green in this weak
solution is not injurious to stock
and every maggot killed means one
less fly to dodge next week Neith-
er does the paris green injure the
fertilizing qualities of the manure
but in a negative way increases it..
Be careful to keep all flies away
from the milk you feed to your ba-
bies. Prof. Rosenau has discovered
that the common stable fly will
transmit the infection of infantile
paralysis from one monkey to an
other. Why not from one child to
another? Furthermore the virus Of
infantile paralysis has been found
to live for several days on the body
of the common house fly.
And finally when the open gar
bage can and the pile of fresh ma
nure has been treated with paris
green and no slOps are thrown into
places that make breeding place
for this vermin the fly question will
be solved. In short, if you do not
want flies, do not provide places for
| them to breed in

MANY SEE BUNDY'S
FAMOUS PICTURE
Several Hundred People See and Ad-
mire "Sunlit Hillsides" at
the Library.

A large number of our citizens
visited the Kendall Young library
Sunday afternoon to see J. E
Bundy's landscape entitled, "Sunlit
Hillsides," now hanging in the chill
dren's room Of that building. One
and all admired it and both the let
tered and unlettered in art felt that
in this canvas they saw that which
appealed to their highest apprecia-
tion of the beautiful. Following are
a few extracts from opinions ex-
pressed by different citizens, who
have seen the picture:
"It is the finest picture 1 ever saw.
1t will lead the children to an ap-
probation of the truly artistic and
l should like very much to see the
picture remain in Webster City,
Prof. D. M. Kelly.
81 consider it a masterpiece and
would deem it great privilege for
the citizens of Webster City to pos
sess it, as it would be a constant
inspiration to each one of us."-Mrs.
W. A. Crandall.
"The library needs pictures and
good ones and the autumn woods Of
Mr.. Bundy, which is now hanging
there looks good to me and l as a
citizen of Webster City, should like
to see it purchased. 1t is the right
picture for the right place. Alex
ander Groves.
"The painting is work of high
art, beautiful in conception and very
strong in execution and harmonizes
perfectly with the architecture Of
the building in which it now hangs.
Owned by the library the picture
may one day make Webster City ia
nous. Side by side with Mr.. Groves
gift of the fine bronze of Lincoln,
the. canvas would be a quiet uplift
to Webster City for all time to
come. Rev. Arthur Metcalf.
Il believe it would be a credit to
the library and to the city to pos
sess such a picture as Mr.. Bundy's
Autumn Woods. IL. A. MacMur-
ray.

Over Doomed.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Reports
from some of the very much doomed
sections of the country tell a story
of waning booms. The boomers ov-
erdid the job. The sections boosted
may be all right; in fact, 1t is as
sumed that most of them are all
right; but there is not a section of
country anywhere that could meas
ure up to some of the rosy pictures
painted by boomers-that Is, some
OF the boomers. You can't find gold
dollars growing on trees-and that
is nothing compared to the claims
made by some boosters. A man who
recently travelled through the far
west was asked about a location
where he had some land. He replied
that he had a good proposition, but
that to develop it required hard
work and a lot of patience. That's
true of any country.
When the boomer comes to you
with his siren song, just set it down
as a fact that the man who makes
good anywhere outside of Iowa will
