Uncle Sam is Waging a relentless
war on the deadly house-fly and in a
late bulletin prepared by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, valuable infor-
nation is given on the best means Of
combating this deadly pest. The
most effective way Of eXterminating
the fly, according to the bulletin, is
to eradicate his breeding places. The
breeding season Of the fly begins early
in March and continues throughout
the spring and summer months All
dirt should be removed from the
premises, stables cleaned and decay
ing vegetables destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called the
undertaker's travelling salesman, and
in addition to his regular line Of ETY.
phoid bugs he carries a side line OF
tuberculosis, ASiatlc Cholera anC
other disease germs. Now is the time
to swat the fly"

The Y. NJ. G. A. In China.

The Young Mems Christian AsSo-
citation entered China in 1885, estab-
fishing two city associations and three
student branches. There are now
thirty-one city associations and one
hundred and five student branches.
In these these there are are employee
one hundred and two Chinese secre-
taries and eighty-six foreign secreta-
ries. Four cities have erected mod
ern buildings, and in three others such
buildings are in process of construc-
ton. The expressed purpose of the
Y. M. c. A. in China, as in other
countries, is to contribute to the ex.
tension and siren pgthening Of the
church.

DR.. a. W. Greenman, OF an Italy

rather violent earthquake shock last

the fifth floor Of our home building

have been an awful calamity. We are
thankful to Providence which has pre-
served us here. ! trust that none Of

In sapulpa last Monday they had

walked to Their homes in Tulsa coun-
t. Later they got an automobile
