ported that she had altered her course
to avoid capture.
Precautions were taken aboard the
Tacoma Maru, which for three nights
proceeded without a light showing.
This news of the alleged presence
of German warships in northern wa

the outbreak of the war there has been
more or less hysteria In shipping cir

The Common Fly a Deadly Pest

Now Is the time to prevent the house
fly from appearing in large numbers
this summer. Little can be done by a
few persons in putting down this
nuisance, if some neglect to do their
part, for single pile.of horse manure
allowed to stand in the open will furnish
flies for the whole neighborhood. The
greatest good therefore, will result
when all persons keeping stables in the
community have the manure removed
from the stables at least twice a week
or keep the manure in a screened por-
ton of the stable Too much emphasis
cannot be put upon this method of avoid
ing human sickness and suffering from
the deadly disease that the house fly
carries.
Combating the pestin country districts
and around farmhouses is largely an in
dividual one. and the presence of flies
in large numbers or to limited extent
will depend upon the sanitary condl-
tons around the house and barn. Aside
from hauling out the manure at regular
intervals, all outhouses and similar
places should be protected from flies.
1t is in this manner that the fly as
sembles the germs of disease and
distributes them to any exposed food.
1t cannot be too strongly urged that all
such places be constructed as sanitary
as possible and disinfectants freely
used.
