This is the advice Of the Health De-
partmcnt. which. although not making
an organized campaign against the in
sects this year. Is endeavoring through
its inspectors and officials to lessen the
fly population as much as possible.
Whenever complaint Is made re-

inspector Is sent to ascertain what con-

Health Officer w. c. Woodward today
directed attention to the ~ campa ign
conducted by Portland. Ore. an account
OF which is contained in tho health bull
letin issued by that city. The sugges-
tions contained therein. he says, are
worthy of adoption ip every city In the
country. and tear his hearty indorse-
ment. Following are the methods:
Watch your garbage and see that It
doesn't become a fly magnet. Garbage
cans are ideal fly magnets.
Watch the stables. Stable refuse
should not be left lying around. because
It Ia the best OF breeding places for
typhoid and infantile paralysis flies.
Keep flies out of sick room. They
NAV bring complications or carry dis
ease to others.
See that the deadly fly doesn't get
near the baby. Infant mortality trac-
able to flies Is heavy.
do not buy your foods where flies
are permitted to thrive.
do not allow fruits and confections
to become exposed.
Eternal vigilance Is the price of rid
dance from this dangerous pest
The fly season Is now at hand upon
us. An ounce OF prevention is worth a
pound of cure"
The use Of fly traps also is advocated
by the department

Iceless Refriqerators.

While on an extention trip to Mesa
County, Miss Oberlin of the Colorado
Agricultural College, saw the "Iceless
Refrigerator" used with great success.
1t is not necessary to purchase the
commercial type of this very convenient
article; but housekeepers in rural COM
munities who do not have supply of
ice should copy the very effective de-
vice used by number of women in
the western part of the State.
Construct the frame work of a cup
board from four 2x2 posts, and line the
inside of the cupboard with wire net
ting to make it proof against mice and
flies. On the outside of the cupboard,
50 that it will not touch the wire net
ting, tack burlap. For the top of the
cupboard have the timer make gal
vanized iron tank exactly the size of
the cupboard, and four to six inches
deep. The bottom of the tank forms
the top of the cupboard. Keep the
tank full of water, wet the burlap
thoroughly, and hang wooden clothes
around three sides of the tank. These
cloths carry water from the tank to
the burlap and the evaporation of the
water serves to cool the inside of the
refrigerator.

Habits and How to Manage Them


We are all creatures of habits.
We perform most OF our daily acts
in habitual manner. If it were
not for habit we would take all our
conscious life in balancing our
selves. or.walking. 1t would be as
difficult for us to dress as it
is tor child. But habits may be
both beneficial and injurious. The
habit Of industry is a valuable one.
But the haNt. of idleness is easier
to acquire and is very detrimental
We have all tried to break our
selves Of some bad habit, and know
how hard it is. Here are three
psychological rules that will be
found of practical help.
1. Make as decided a start as
possible. Take a public pledge;
tell your friends; most of all, make
a determined resolution. A man
who was trying to break himself
of drinking, advertised that he
would give fifty dollars to any one
who thereafter saw him take a
drink.
2. Never allow a relapse. Never
indulge again in the old habit. 1t
is possible to undo in an hour of
indulgence all the good you have
done in a month of abstinence.
3. Seize the first opportunity to
act on your resolve. Habits are
formed or broken not by resolving,
but by action. If the resolve is to
be neighborly, take advantage of
the first opportunity to speak kindly
to your neighbor. Never try Just
to stop bad habit. Try to form
good one in its place. Don't try
to break the habit of being cross.
Try to acquire the habit OF being
pleasant.-Alfred Westfall, c. A.
c., Fort Collins.

Advertising Talks.
HE KNEW HOW.

There old geezer and he had lot of sense;
He started up business acknowledgements
The dollar for stock and the eighty for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in day, by dad
Well he bought more goods and little space
And he played that system with smile on his face.
The customers Aocked to his two-by-four
And soon he had to hustle for regular store.
Up on the square, where the people pass.
He gobbled up corner that all plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with the best that he had
And he told 'em all about it in a haf-pRge ad.
He soon had em coming and he never, never quit
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads one jit.
Well, he's kept things humping in the town every since
And everybody calls him the Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck. but that's all bunk ,
Why, he doing businessfwhen times were punk.
People have to purchase and the geezer was wise
For he knew the way to get em to advertise.

during warm days later in the fall, crawling lazily around, even after they have been for time in their win ter quarters.
 Another fact in connection with the artificial raising of terrapin is inter- esting. Whereas the average number of eggs during season from one fe- male in the natural state has been eight, the females in the government hatchery have averaged fourteen eggs each. It is we'll known that turtles of all species can exist for long time on very little food if forced to do so. By being well fed and well cared for, not only larger number of eggs are obtained, but it is found that they often make double laying; this is especially the case in the Carolinas, where the temperature and the water remain warm much longer than in waters farther north.
 It will be recognized that. in a pri- vate enterprise of this character, to in- sure success and permanency, abso- iuIS SbOohlAiiCoo ID Ilup6TdllVG, TOT IL will be seen from the government re- searches that the natural habitat of the terrapin is on the open, tide-swept marshes, far removed from anything of an unsanitary nature Every thoughtful citizen will appreciate the fact that broad scientific methods, heretofore used on land rather than on sea, are to be employed to enable us. to realize from the water an inn proved food supply.
 The waters can be farmed almost as systematically as the land Man has been farming the land for 5000 years. Now, largely through the in- telligent administration of the bureau of fisheries, coastwise residents of the United States are beginning to dis cover how to promote increase of or ganized life in the adjacent waters. That this can be accomplished by in- 1 telligently directed effort is no longer l a matter of theory. Not only through artificial aids in propagation, but a properly arranged protective system for the young, almost every fish that swims, or that lives in a shell, can be made more abundant.

been learned. It then became possi- ble to formulate plans for propaga- tion and cultivation of the species un- der consideration.
 By the addition of the new stock, a new terrapin variety has been pro- duced. On emerging from it's sandy bed one day in August last, the new comer proved to be a pink-eyed al bino, with upper and lower shells, head, feet and tail pure white. It's wise terrapin that knows it's own mother, and all that the officials know about it is that it came from the beds containing the mixed stock
 Encouraged by the governments successful experiments in raising dia- mond backs, company has recently been incorporated in Beaufort, N. G., for a similar purpose. A short front near the terminus of the Inland Wa terway canal, containing about four acres, was obtained, and this was in closed on three sides by concrete walls. The water front is 340 feet in length, and the depths of the grounds 190 feet Within the inclosure are three separate pounds, with ample wire grating on the outer side to in- sure pure and constantly changing salt water with the tide.
 Since the completion of these pounds, they have been stocked with 3,200 terrapin. Eleven hundred of these are mature females of@laying size and age, the Remainder being from two inches to five inches in length. These terrapin have been pur- chased from time to time, many of them out of season by special permit from the state authorities, for breed ing purposes and to encourage propa- gation It is interesting to learn that 820 young were taken from the hatch ing beds during the past season.
 Pursuing the same policy adopted at the government hatchery. this com pany allows the old stock to hibernate, while the young are warmly housed and fed. It has been noted at the gov ernment pounds that Information usu- ally begins about October 20 This, however, is not hard and fast rule, as many of the older ones are seen
Judsonia weekly advance., 1915-08-04

A few years ago, it looked as if the famous diamond back terrapin was doomed to extermination. The supply was rapidly decreasing and the price was becoming prohibitive. Then the experts of the United States bu- reau of fisheries began their investi- cations. and as a result of number of years of study and experiments, profitable industry has been saved to the South and another source of food supply saved from extinction. This valuable work has been carried on largely at the laboratory of the bu- reau of fisheries at Beaufort, N. c. It was begun in 1909 with the establish ment of small pound on the shore Of an island in the harbor, in. which 65 mature terrapin were placed.
 In building the pond very favor able location was obtained, contain ing the greatest variety of natural environment, including dry sandy ground, always above water, suitable for crawling and laying, grassy ground usually above water, farther down muddy tidewater marsh, and still far ther soft muddy bottom covered with never less than two feet of con stantly changing salt water, with the rise and fall of the tide During the past five years the pound has been enlarged from time to time, to ac- commodate the eyer-increasing family of little terrapin. A house, 2512x1512 feet in size, for use in winter, has also been built, with glass side facing the south. Here many of the young are kept in wooden tanks with sloping bottoms, the lower end containing two or three inches of water.
 These terrapin are fed twice a week. with fish, fresh or salted, while others of the same matching are al- lowed to hibernate in certain sections of the pound as they would do under natural conditions.
 From among the first hatchings of 1909 a few have attained growth of five inches. measuring along the plas- tron, or lower shell These were turned loose during the past summer among the older ones in the general breeding ground, From the hatch of
