"sTARVE THE FLY"

Ours is a country home, but we have
very few flies. Our method is based
upon the principle of barring and
starving" In other words, we keep
them out and give them nothing to
eat, says a writer in the Woman's
Home Companion.
Fighting the fly in the country is ex-
ceedingly difficult because of the wide
range and the numerous places where
the insect can breed On the farm
the most common of these places are
the barns and manure piles, pigsties.
chicken houses and toilets. We be.
gan by making the barn scrupulously
clean. This was not difficult task and
no more than should be done on every
country place The fly part" of the
barn is the stables. Usingplank floors,
cleaning the stalls both morning and
evening and sprinkling a little powder
ed lime about gave the flies no chance
The manure was thrown into box
outside. and this box is on sled, ready
to be hauled away at once and thrown
on the garden or fallow land Pow
dered lime sprinkled in the box, when
empty, keeps this fly proof.
Then came the barring and starv-
ing" process for the house. Both for
convenience and comfort we installed
a complete plumbing system, with hot
and cold water, in the house. In this
day of gasoline engines, hydraulic
rams and other simple as we'll as eco
nomical methods of installing water
systems every farm home should have

vestigating committee concluded its
sittings yesterday morning and the
members left for their homes with
sealed lips.

ment said that he had never been ac-
cused of dishonesty or anything in
yolving his personal character of in
tegrity.
The statement cones on to say:
After patient investigation of the
prevailing conditions we have been
made aware of differences which We
have no doubt the board Of trus-
tees will be competent to manage
when our findings shall have been
made ito them; but we do not believe
that conditions are such as to demand
immediate action on their part
Therefore our report will be made to
the board at it's next meeting which
will probably be in June.
The investigation was purely to as
certain what friction there might
be between the president and the fac
ulty, the student body and the pru-
Dental committee, and what damage
might have been sustained by the uni
versity because of it if they found
any.
