CAN KILL A MILLION
WITH JUST ONE SWAT
A Fly Put to Death Now Means
Preventing Myriads in a
Few Months.

Although this is the time of year when
picnics are popular be sure to break
up one kind of picnic.
That picnic is the fly picnic, and those
who send forth the warning above are
the advocates of the steadily growing
swat the fly movement. Really, when
one stops to think about it, these fly
picnics are exceedingly numerous-or
they were until the war was declared on
the little pests.
Fly picnics are lovely affairs-for the
fiies-and are impromptu All that is
little spilled milk. a piece Of meat,
little sugar, fruit peeling or any Of
thousand and one other bits Of edibles
or refuse.
The flies don't even stop to go home
and wash their hands and faces. The
little flies don't even bother to go home
and ask their mammas il they may
come. 1t isn't necessary. for the man.
mas are there, and the papas, and the
brothers and sisters and cousins and
family.
What that family lacks in the size of
individuals it makes up in numbers. and
in the mischief Of which it is capable
OF course. any one who likes to see the
flies enjoy themselves; who cares to have
window sill. or down around the garbage
can, may easily do SO. But 1t Is not
believed that any Washingtonian cares
for such picnics, and therefore 1t be-
hooves all who are interested in keeping
down the fly population to keep their
homes and yards clear of refuse.
Also. bear in mind that one fly swatted
means millions unborn. swat In time
saves not nine. but about nine millions
and then some. So swat now. and to-
morrow and the day after. and every time
fly makes its appearance Keep in the
army of fly swatters, and always bear IN
mind the motto: Swat it now"
