TOO MUCH ROUGH NECKs.

Parties from Pingree are circulat-
ing the report that a party of young
fellows who spend their Sunday after
moons out riding in the vicinity of
Rich and Pingree have on two occa-
sions stopped certain young gentle
man and his lady friend in the road
when they were driving, and held
them for several hours by simply
keeping them surrounded so they
could not get away. The prisoners
tried every rouse they could think
of and on one occasion are said to
have been held from 3 o'clock in the
afternoon until seven, and on another
occasion for a longer time, before
being allowed to go.
If these reports are true the peo-
pile of that vicinity owe it to them
selves to take such steps as will teach
these young people a better way of
spending their afternoons.

ONE FLY is MORE DAN
GEROUS THAN A
SNAKE.

DR.. Henry Skinner. lecturing at the
Academy Of Natural Sciences in New
York, averred that he would rather
have rattlesnake in his kitchen than
one common housefy. Few house
holders will agree with this statement
Doubtless it was made to emphasize
the intensity of the speakers abhor
renee Of the buzzing pest which will
soon begin to dispense his exquisite
torments in dwelling rooms unless
means are adopted to repel the winged
invader.
The torture, however, is the least OF
woes. The perils our eyes do not see
are immeasurably greater than the
sting that irritates the nerves and
spoils the temper.
Flies thrive upon garbage. Every
trace of refuse should be promptly re
moved from the neighborhood of 9
dwelling and scraps of food burned OF
disposed of otherwise than by standing
them In some pail The filth so caught
up and transferred by the flies is a
source of grave danger and prolific
cause of sickness. Nobody would en-.
dure the sight of the busy fly did he
realize what its fitting really imports
The cry during late years has gone
abroad. "Swat the fly" To large
extent this wise counsel has been heed
ed. But now is the time to watch fol
the Matching of these small yet per
sistent enemies. Careful attention paid
to the maxims of cleanliness will alike
minister to the comfort of the house
hold and subdue nuisance which is
one Of the drawbacks of the summer
season The hOusefy should have no
encouragement.

THE UNIVERSAL MENACE.

The housefly causes 100000
deaths a year and does a prop
erty damage Of $12,o0o,0o0. The
fly travels only 1900 feet and
delights in a liquid diet. When
he finds something that he likes
better than his latest meal he
disgorges.
One pair of flies beginning in
May will breed 143,675 bushels by
September. The time will come
when il will be considered more
disgraceful to have flies in our
homes than it is now to have
bedbugs.
If flies were as large as cows
we would not have one in the
land. Unfortunately our indif-
ference to their disease breeding
activities is as large as the pests
themselves are small.
The determination of the fly
will follow the observing of the
old rule that CLEANLINESS
Is NEXT TO GOODNESS.

Fight the "TyphOid Fly"

The common housefy, now known as
the typhoid Ay," is an important fac
tor in the spreading of typhoid fever.
Therefore screening the food, also the
doors and windows. establishing sani-
tary dry earth closets and removing or
screening all refuse, such as manure.

fruits, will aid greatly in the restric-

FLY PREVENTION RULES.

"An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound Of cure" This
is the time to use all means for
the prevention Of the spread Of
flies. Begin early and then keep
everlastingly at it. The vigilant
fly will use every opportunity
that he gets-remember that.
Here are several "don'ts" that
will aid in fighting the fly:
Don't dine at hotel or res
taurant where flies are tolerated.
Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't permit them near your
food, especially milk.
Don't buy food where flies are
permitted.
Don't allow them in a sick
room.
Don't allow them to crawl over
the baby or the nipple Of it's
nursing bottle.
Screen every window and door
in your house and keep il up
until you start your furnace.
Have separate screen covers
over all exposed food.
Let cleanliness and clea anliness
and yet more cleanliness be your
motto all summer long.

cooked, is such a commonplace
and simple thing that we do not
realize the danger Of It.
But If we could follow up the
life Of a fly for single day we
should be appalled, at the filth
ness Of its habits and the pesti-
iential character Of its peregri-
nations.
Flies love the vilest filth, and
they are attracted alike to the
sweetest and daintiest Of food
stuHs. Just az in the house no
fly can be kept away from the
food, 80 outdoors no garbage or
filth or deeaying matter is ever
seen in the summer without its
attendant flies. It can be taken
for granted that every fly in a
house, has but recently come
from reveling in the vilest filth
to be found in the neishborhood.
II 10 we'll known that flies mul-
tiply in exact proportion to the
amount Of garbage and filth in a
locality. In locality that 10
kept tidy and clean and sweet
there are very few flies, but
wherever filth exists there flies
multiply by myriads. The prin-
ciple is automatic. The more
filth the more flies, the more
flies the more disease.
Let us, therefore, instead of
crying "Swat the Hy!" clear away
all garbage or dirt in the vicin-
ity Of our houses and thus pre-
vent the plague from multiply
ing.

Much of this rubbish can be
burned. An old garbage can
with a defective bottom will
make an excellent furnace. Such
can may be inverted and
raised six or eight inches from
the ground. Numerous holes
may then be punched into the
upper end. This end will there
after serve as a screen and pre-
vent bits of burning paper or
ash from menacins the neigh
borhood.
When the back alley way and

screen the house. Screen every
window and every doorway. See
that the screens fit and that they
arc free from holes. There is
little use in screening most win
dows and most doors If some
windows and some doors are
not protected. Also flies can
enter through very small holes,
and thus only perfect screens
should be used.
