The most important thing in the of this rather
remarkable trap is the bait Above all things, says Mr.
Washbun be sure and use bread and milk for bait
BE sure also and frequently this bait Always
have it fresh Never allow it to dry up for it then
loses its attract yeness The best way to kill the
trapped flies is to immerse the top portion of the trap
in boiling water then destroy the dead flies by burn
ing, thereby getting rid of all the germs that on
then.
Destroying flies by fumigation and poisons are good
methods provided the greatest care is used in the
fumigation and in the handling Of posons.
Close the kitchen at night after the evenings work
is finished, pour teaspoonfu Of carboIc acid upon
tin cup placed the floor the fumes will spread
over the air surface possible In the
+ if your kitchen is fairly tight all the flies will
lie dead and the acid fumes will have disappeared
Cobalt is sometimes used It is efficient when poured
in plate and cheese cloth laid in it. but it is ex
remely dangerous and should not be used there are
chldren about the home it is poison. Common
black pepper and heated until it dissoves and
poured plate, will kill flies but it is far better to
depend upon positively hy-proof screens at the doors
and windows cellar windows and attic windows and
screen doors in the cellar entrances or bulkheads to-
gether with good traps like that described above and
only harmless things that is things that are poison
only to flies
There is really need OF using deadly poisons when
there are many safe ways of getting rid of the pests
Eternal vigilance may be tresome, but it will keep
away flies and it is better to be vgant and tired than
dead because Of some dread disease brought into the
home by the most dangerous of all insects-the
hOusefy.

Every intelligent person knows that we have reached
our present physical condition and shape through
long process OF evolution from the four-footed stage
OF existence 1t is stated by scientists that we have
over eighty rudimentary organs in our body which
were OF use to as al time, but about as much use
to us now a buggy whip is to an automobile We
cannot cast on these useless remnants-not in many
generations However they are gradually losing their
Identity and will I'm time disappear

Mlddletown tConn) Correspondence to the New

Envious because they were not per-
mitted to attend the junior week fes-
tivities, a score or more of Wesleyan
freshmen armed themselves with paint
brushes. and one morning recently the
college awoke to find the buildings and
walks daubed with bright red. Even
the trees and benches on the campus
were not spared, and many guests who
attended chapel services this morning
came away with clothes bearing SOU
venirs Of their visit.
North College, the new and largest
dormitory at the institution. received the
worst treatment. Its handsome marble
pillars were slashed from top to bottom
with paint. Other buildings along the
college row which did not escape were
Memorial Chapel South College, and the
Administration Building. Most of the
sidewalks in front of the fraternity build
ings were likewise decorated, while sew

SUGGESTIONS FOR TRANS
FERRING THESE PATTERNS.

THE window pane method Is per
haps the simplest and Is par
ticularly successful when the
material is thin such as batiste, lawn,
or handkerchief linen, the best plan
Is to pin the sheet Of paper and the
material together and hold them up
against the window pane and with a
sharp pencil trace the design on the
fabric or else lay the material on the
pattern on top Of table or ether
hard surface, and carefully trace the
design with well pointed pencil, the
desibn may also be transferred to heavy
material by using a piece of transfer
or carbon paper, to be placed between
the pattern and cloth, using a sharp
pointed pencil to secure q clean line.
