In a bulletin recently issued
by Dr. Crum bine, the following
remedies are included for lessen
ing the number of flies: "Pyr-
ethrum powder burnt in a house
stupefes flies until they may be
swept up and destroyed. A lit
tie of this burnt in the morning
in the rooms which are then air
ed, will make the house exempt
from flies all day. Twenty
drops of carbolic acid put on a
hot shovel or piece of iron Gre
ates vapor that kills flies, max
ing simple and effective rem
edy. The common mignonette
plant grown in jars and placed
in room makes home life un-
pleasant to the house fly, while
nature has given us another sim
pie remedy in the common white
clover, found IN almost every
yard. Gather a handful in the
morning and place in vase, and
watch the flies hunt the open;
its odor is very offensive to
them. The clover should be re-
newed every day or so, for when
dry it irritates the nostrils."

In connection with the secretary S
recent order charging per cent in

banks asked permission to withdraw

and substitute as security the bonds
of the insular possessions and the Dis

secretary stipulated that the with
