HOW TO KILL FLIES
QUICKLY AND
CHEApLY

Professor r. l. Smith, entomologist,
North Carolina agricultural station,
says: "Formalin is very successful
poison for flies in spite of many re-
ports TO the contrary. l have recently
used it extensively with excellent re-
suits. The method that have found
most successful is the use Of f0rmalin
in milk with the following proportions:
zone ounce 1.-TWO tablespoOnfuls) Of
formalin; sixteen ounces tone pint of
equal parts milk and water.
'In this proportion the mixture seems
to attract the flies much better than
when used in sweetened water. The
mixture should be exposed in shallow
plates. piece of bread in the middle
of the plate furnishes more space for
the flies to alight and feed and in this
way serves to attract a greater num-
Der of them.
81 first used this poison in q milk
room where the flies were very numer-
Gus and poisoned over 5000 flies in
less than twenty-four hours on several
occasions. Over a, pint of flies were
swept up in this room each time the
poison was used.
Another experiment was used in a
large calf barn where the flies were
numerous. exposed six ordinary
sized plates of the formalin poison
mixture and killed about 10000 -four
quarts Of flies) between II o'clock noon
and the next morning This is only
an illustration Of what can be done
with formaiin around stables where
flies are breeding | could cite num-
Der of cases where the fOrmalin poison
mixture has been used in unscreened
Kitchens and dining rooms and resulted
in killing practically all the flies.
"a good place to use this formalin is
on the front and back porches. where
flies are frequently numerous and wait
ing to enter whenever the doors are
opened

trouble with this part of the system,
and it remains continually fly proof.
AS a. matter of course we have
screens at the doors and windows.
The back porch, next to the kitchen,
which is usually harbor for flies, we
completely screened in. Thus the
kitchen door can be opened when the
room is hot and filled with the smell
of cooking with no fear Of the flies
swarming in. Here, too, we placed
the stationary washtub.
Finally, let it be added, that even
with ali these precautions we are Wis

such things as cabbage, fish and meats
are cooked but most of them get no
closer than the screens. a wire screen
fly killer is kept handy for the few
that chance to get in.

WISCONSIN RIVER
CLAIMS TWO VICTIMS
R. ]. Kraus And Walter Palmetier
Went On Fishing Trip And Failed
To Acknowledgement Boat Re-
veals accident.

Two young men of the city lost
their lives by drowning in the Wis
consin river above Biron. Tuesday.
R. j. Kraus, fourth hand on ma
chine and Walter PaImetier, machine
tender at the Biron paper mill left
the mill about eight o'clock Tuesday
morning to go fishing. They had
canoe and proceeded up the river
They We're seen at about half past
ten by some people in an automobile.
This was the last seen of the young
men They were due back at the mill
to commence work at / o'clock. Not
arriving at the mill, parties were
sent out to find them. Late in the
afternoon the overturned canoe with
one fishpole in it was found near tht
Dave Taylor place about a mile and
half above Biron. The superstition
is that when the canoe capsized, Mr.
Kraus, who was good swimmer,
tried to save NIT. Palmetier, who coulC
not swim and both were drowned
Searching parties started out Tues
day afternoon and search for the
bodies is continuing to-day. Owing
to the fact that no knowledge is to
be had as to where the accident oc-
CURED, it makes the work of the
searchers very difficult. No one
knows the tame the accident occur
red, except that it was between the
hours of ten-thirty in the morning
and one in the afternoon. The heavy
wind and the current combined would
drift the boat a long way from the
scene of the accident in 81 very short
time. Every effort is being made by
the Consolidated people to discover
the bodies. The water in the pond
has been lowered and large parties
of men are searching the water with
poles and drags-
r. j. Kraus is the son of R. L.
Kraus a Marshfield banker and went
to Biron to learn the paper making
business.
Walter Palmetier came here from
Stevens Point. He leaves a wife and
seven children, the youngest an i'm
FAINT only few days old.

HOW TO FIGHT THE
FLY IN THIS TOWN

First.-Educational work should be
begun at once in schools. women's
clubs and other civic organizations, be-
cause if yod wait until the flies appear
in the spring they will be multiplying
by the million while you are doing
organization work that ought to have
been done during the cold weather
This committee, as in former years,
will cooperate with local committees,
furnishing literature and answering
questions as to methods of individual
campaigns. etc.
Second.-ln your movements for pass
ing Of general cleanup and anti-fly or
dinances first secure the interest Of
the state health department If you
find difficulty in doing this by mere
force Of suggestion. employ other legit-
innate means of stirring it to action
petitions from local or state organiZa-
tons. boards Of trade, women's clubs,
the head of the state health service is
not cordially cooperating with you he
can be shamed into it.
Third.-Employ similar tactics, if
necessary. with the health authorities.
aldermen and other officials of your
city or town.
Fourth.-Get ordinances passed Estate
if possible local at any rateJ for the
screening of foodstuffs, the chemical
treatment and removal of manure, etc,
but do not think that because you have
an ordinance 1t will enforce itself.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of free
dom from filth and flies. Probably
even the most energetic and sympa-
thetic health officer will be unable with
the force Of inspectors at his command
to discover all the violations of the or
dinance. You must help him by vol
unteer inspection and reports. If then
he is lukewarm in the prosecution of
offenders make his position uncom-
Portable. If the magistrates refuse to
impose fines for proved violations
make it uncomfortable for them too.
It's all very simple if you are in ear
nest.
Fifth.-Colorado and Texas have in
St1luteu the CISlOn Vi SJdlS NluS
cleanup days Induce the governor
of your state by proclamation to set
aside a day for such purpose, and if
he cannot be induced to do so-but he
probably can If proper representations
are made to hm-at least get your
mayor to proclaim local cleanup
day"
SiXth.-If you must have fly swat
ting" contests to stimulate interest in
your local campaign let them be held
as early in the spring as possible, while
there are comparatively few flies. If
you could find and kill all the spring
flies, as of course you cannot, there
would be none to trouble you in the
summer.
Seventh-Be careful to brush up any
flies that may be lying around with
their feet up in the air looking as if
they were dead; they may be playing
possum." The only safe way is to
burn them. Do not throw them out or
into the garbage can. as they will be-
come active as soon as the temperature
rises
