What the Housefly Is

Housetiies are the most abundant
insects to be found in human dwell
ings throughout the world.
Unless measures are taken to de-
stroy flies early in the season, they
viii make their appearance in large
numbers in our homes every summer.
Very few flies live through the win
ter; these multiply marvelousIy in
warm weather, increasing 10o-fold in
number every two or three weeks
Thus. flies become more and more
abundant as the summer progresses.
unless checked. Destroying them in
the fall reduces their numbers the fol-
lowing spring.
Houseflies are attracted to houses
and stores by the odor OF food which
Will draw them from considerable dis
tances.

WOMAN'S CLUB PICNIC

The Woman's Clubs annual picnic
was held Friday at the beautiful coun-
try estate Of Mr.. and Mrs r. L. An
derson-Lo ckridge-one mile south
of the city. Instead Of an all day pic
mic for the club members alone the
picnic was given in the afternoon, and
a picnic supper instead Of picnic
dinner was enjoyed and the club
members husbands Chat is. those
who are married., and other male
members Of their families were ask
ed to the picnic, and quite a number
accepted the clubs invitation and
graced the picnic with their presence,
some spending the afternoon and 9th
ers coming ouc to enjoy the magnii-
sent supper served just at dusk under
the beautiful trees that make this
place SO beautiful. The supper was
bountiful and elegant, including many
deHcacies and substantials. such as
salads. meats, sandwiches. eggs
cheese straws, ice cream. cake, hot
coffee, etc.
Unfortunately the afternoon was
quite cold. which detracted a good
deal from the pleasure and comfort
Of those present.
One of the pleasures Of the after
noon was an inspection Of the new
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson
which is now nearing completion. and
which is one OF the most elegant
homes in the city, and one Of the
show places Of the county. Ideally
located on an hill overlooking several
other hills and valleys. no more beau
tiful situation for a home can be i'm
agined. The residence is built Of Bed
ford stone and is extremely beautiful
and the grounds surrounding the
home are equally as attractive
Quite a few went over from the
Anderson home to look at our SPLEEN
did new hospital near by. work on
which has been resumed. and which
it is hoped will be completed within
a very few months.
Altogether the clubs picnic this
year was most enjoyable.

THE HOUSEFLY a MENACE TO
HEALTH

Where the HousefIy Comes From
The housefy passes through three
stages before becoming the adult fly
with which we are so familiar.
1t begins life as minute, oval
white egg, deposited by the fly upon
manure, garbage, or other decaying
matter.
The egg matches into white mag
got after day or two and feeds upon
the manure or other filth for week
or two till full grown.
1t then forms an oval brown pupa,
from which the adult fly energies sew
eral days later
The flies then seek out our houses
and food directly after leaving their
bed of filth.
Horse manure is the favorite food
for the maggots, but gargage, or any
sort of excrement will serve to raise
a crop of housefies
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1913-04-04

carefully covered, and the cans clean
ed or sprinkled with oil or lime
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparation.
See that your sewage system is in
good order; that it does not leak, is
up to date, and not exposed to flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Cover food after meal; burn or
bury all table refuse.
Screen all food exposed for sale.
Screen all windows and doors, es-
peciaIIy the kitchen and dining room.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house to kill the flies.
Don't forget if you see flies, that
their breeding place is in nearby
filth. 1t may be behind the door, I'M
der the table or in the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt and filth, there
will be no flies.
If there is a nuisance in the neigh
borhood, it would be advisable to
write at once to the health depart
ment.

How the Housefly Aids in Carrying
Disease

Although flies feed regularly upon
human foods in houses and stores
they are equally fond of all sorts Of
filthy matter, and Will wander back
and forth from one to the other.
Dragging their germ-laden feet and
bodies over food stuffs, or depositing
their eXcrement as fly specks, they
carry disease germs from infected

WHY KEEP ENGAGEMENTS Sc
CRET?

Occasionally We wonder that youths
and maidens SO often. and 50 long
keep their engagements Of marriage
secret. They miss lot Of pleasant
things by locking all their happiness
in their own hearts and NOT telling Of
their joy.
All the world loves a lover you
know, but how are we to recognize
lovers when they move among Us

METHODS OF
 GARBAGE DISPOSAL.

City officials in Chicago. according to the Record-Herald. are investigat ing a new method of disposing Of garbage. II the process proves sue cessful. it is stated. neither reduction nor ircinerating plants will be nee essary.
 The process is said to have been in- vented by an aged chemist. and pend ing the tests that are being made no information has been given out About all that is known of it is that the garbage is placed in tanks ard chem icals are poured over it. Some of the sanitation experts who are on the inside. appear to believe the discovery Is important
 The problems of garbage disposal IS most troublesome. Different plans have been adopted in different cities, but it is doubtful if any altogether satisfactory method of handling this particular constituent of city waste has been found. Some cities employ ircinerating or reduction plants. Oth- CTS merely haul their garbage to the dumps. There are objections to these several methods. and 1t is question in the minds of many persons if any satisfactory scheme of disposal can be evalEed. 4ss s8
 Assuredly the Sqtsse s'pfastits oi maintaining sartage dumps is the worst possible way of dealing with the great mass of waste which accum- ulates at back doors and back gates It would be hard to imagine anything

AN ARGUMENT
 FOR kuTocRACY.

Over in Sweden they are about tc pass a law giving to women the right to propose marriage"
 The right to propose marriage is enjoyed in common by all unmarried persons of either sex Occasionally 3 married person takes the law into his own hands or her own hands despis- ing its delays as heartily as lynching larty does and proposes marriage be fore filing suit for divorce.
 Of course there is no reason for leg. islating upon the subject, but Iegisla- lures are somewhat like armies and nayies in times of peace. They must hayepractice, and so thep enact mum erous silly and superfluous laws The fact that they do is an argument in favor of absolute monarchy as against a constitutional form of government with its often boasted systems of checks and balances and its militant guardianship of individual liberty.
 An autocrat grants audience and hears grievances. There is a point at which the patience of even the most benign and weil-Gined monarch frays. At that point the audience chamber closes automatically, and the days work $ succeeded by rest or by pleas ure less exhausting than that of mak ing the kicking subject happy and sending him home boosting the admin -istration. A legislature never grows weary of passing laws. The average legislature cares not who sings the nations songs, or does its heavy lift iEg. so long as it passes a large qCan tity of needles laws with popular pre-, ambIes and titles that indicate live Iv interest in everybody who may have a hand. or a vote, in the next election.
 The days of dissolution were bad' dark days in some respects. But even  Nero-although he got drunk and was an unseryiceable, undignifed, expeR sive and highly immoral ruler-Reyer thought of doing anything So unneces- sary as passing a law allowing the girls to pop the question.

oLp.rIME mouNTAIN suRvgYs.

In surveying mountain lands in the Appalachian region with view to government purchase under the Weeks law the forest service surveyors. ac. cording to a Washington dispatch, are finding that many of the tracts contain more land than was called for in the original surveys.
 An instance is cited of a tract in Northeastern Tennessee which was supposed by its owners to contain $50 acres. The forest service survey showed that it contained a fraction in excess Of 1,4st acres. Taking the region as a whole. it is stated. the acreage Of lands surveyed by the gov ernment exceeds by 1 per cent the acreage believed to be in the tracts by the owners of the lands.
 These increases are partly offset by tracts which show a shrinkage when the lines are run. A frequent cause of this shrinksge is in the location or overlapping by some older grant. This results in the elimination from the tract of some portion which was con sidered as belonging to it.
 The old-time methods of surveying were crude. The competition of land was not so strong a century or so ago as 1t is at present There is cause for believing that the surveyors in tbos days were accustomed to give good measure and were impressed with the idea that ''one hundred acres more or less" ought to be more rather than less in order that the purchaser. or the grantee. might get all that was coming to him. This is especially true of the mountain and desert lands which were not so highly esteemed as in this day and generation.

GERMAN AND
 AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

For some years American eduea ors have given much attention to the schools of Germany and have had a great deal to say about educational progress in that country
 Lately Prof. George Kerschen- steiner. director of the schools of Nun ich. Bavaria, has been making 8 study of educational matters in the United States. He has made summary of his observations and has published it is pamphlet form. Among other things he says:
 During my visit to the United States I gained the firm conviction that we could learn TO less from the Americsn schools than tho citizens of the United States could learn from US. This is especially true of the common school. pf which I have seen ideal examples in different cities. In- deed. it would Be greatly desired that the German iooyCrnment might af:- range to have the American schools studied by German teachers just as the American school authorities have hecn doiug with us so generously for many years
 Prof Kerschensteiner's comments as rule are complimentary to the American schools. In different parts of the country, he said, he has found systems that are s'incredibly had On the other hand he has seen others Of athe highest possible type" which would do credit to the finest civilized nations of the globe" Considering the difference in the cost of living, he thinks. "the pay of the German teach. CT in all kinds of educational institu- tions is, on the average distinctly bet ter than in the United States"
 One point in our favor, in the opin-, ion of the German educator, is that in the United States the affairs of the school are in much higher degree the affairs of the people than in Germany where the citizens of a community have little rnothing to say about their school system.
 Doubtless American teachers can continue to study the German schools with profits, but it is just as well ;ha' they should do so with the understand ing that no one country has corneTeo the supply of educational wisdom.
