Catching Files Pays Well.

Catching flies is affording a Shreve-
port Ua.) man a profitable and inde-
pendent living. He sells them to the
city board of health. His name is
Bartsch. and his net revenue from the
fly industry for the first two days of a
recent week was $24.20. When the
health board began offering premiums
for the flies. dead or alive. Bartsch
purchased about 100 traps and placed
them in tly-ridden sections of the city.
Then he began making inroads on the
health boards exchequer. and so well
did he operate that he bore the market
price down from so cents to 20 cents a
quart, for it is by that measure that
the board purchases. Bartsch is still
working, and he will work as long as
the treasury holds out. He finds fly
catching pays.

In the blanks which life insurance
companies provide their medical exam
liners for use in recording the data of
the examination of the applicant for
insurance. they provide a space for
personal marks which may be used to
identity the insured after death. A

Regulating Weight.

There is only one way to regulate
body weight and that is by the
natural method-by diet, exercise,
bathing. etc.-by alimentation and
elimination. The nostrums advertised
TO take of flesh without change Of
diet are all dangerous. Be sure Of
that, and avoid them. The same diet
that will put flesh on thin man will
take flesh off fat one. In other
words. a natural diet produces a
natural condition of the body.

For the Ironing Board.

Pad the ironing board with thick
quilt or old blanket, then lay the
board on the table and cut piece of
heavy muslin so 1t will fit the board
loosely. Seam it up. leaving the slip
open at each end. Make two of these
slips and change them frequently,
says Mothers Magazine. Thus the
Ironing board is always clean, and the
padding will not have to be changed
for months.

CITY SCHOOLS WILL
| CLOSE ON MAY 50

Owing to the addition OF the eleven
tn grade there will be no graduates
this season from the Pascagoula pub
lie schools, which close May 30. SuPt
Walker states this is 10 accordance
with the action taken by the Board
o; Trustees during the iDcumbency
of Supt. Linfleld. 1t was then order
ed that the eleventh grade should De
added when the students then in the
High School should have graduated 10
the tenth grade. The tenth class OF
the session OF l9ll.l2 was the last to
graduate under this rule. Hence the
tenth class of the present session Will
not be graduated until it shall have
com pleted the eleventh grade course,
which will require one more year.
The addition OF the grade raises the
standard and makes 1t easier TOT
graduates to enter colleges.

ment exercises the school will have
a suitable closing program, to which
the public is invited. At Lake Ave

permit me to congratulate you on
the editorial you had in your paper
last week in reply to what has been
appearing in our local paper about
Pascagoula's alleged efforts in SEEK

one city is to the interest OF the
other. They adjoin each other and
virtually are one place. Some day
probably they will be combined in
one large city, with fame enough
then, as now, for both.
