TIE DEADLY Fly

When a good housekeeper IS told that

preyent the pesky little houseay from

soon be plentiful.
The fv is the favorite for many edl-

lentless war against the germ laden in
sect. A bulletin has been prepared by
the Department of Agriculture giving
valuable information on methods Of de-
stroying flies.
The most effective way Of eXtermn-
ating the fly, according to the bulletin,
is to eradicte his breeding places. The
breeding season of the fly begins early
in March and continues throughout the
spring and summer months. All orr
should be removed from the premises,
stables cleaned and decaying vegeta-
bes destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called the
undertaker's travelling salesman, and
in addition to is regular line of "ty.

Lost Secret OF Greeks.

No greater gift could be made to our

secret of the method by which for one
brief period they realized perfection

the principles of training which guild

physical impOSsibilities. There is al
ways a terrific controversy over the
restoration of Greek sculpture, and

All this because we do not under
stand the principles by which the

THE FRUIT MOVEMENT

Many growers have not yet compre.
henled the plans of the recently organ
lied Growers Council and its estab.
lished bodies, the Board of Control and
the executive committee. Some still
seem to think the new organization is
to be selling concern. 1t will, how
ever. sell not single apple. In the
scope of the plans proposed it will have
limited supervision over all selling
agencies. Although limited, this super
vision is such that if any agency at
tempts to transcend il or avoid il, it
will receive such a mark of disapproval
that growers will withdraw their ton
mage. The main object of the new or.
agni2atlons is to secure definite infor-
nation. Heretofore growers have had
to rely on reports of different selling
agencies, themselves, for information
The bulletins of selling machines have
often heen filled with direct or veiled
charges against competitors or with
answers to such charges. The charges
and counter charges have formed a net
work of recriminaSions, and the grower
knew not where to place his trust. If
there is blame the Investigations of the
new bodies can fairly place it. Honest
selling agencies will only be too glad to
work with the Board of Control and the
executive committee. The formation
of the Board vii tend to eliminate the
unfair agency and the useless one.

Virtue of Peanuts.

The oil of the peanut has n quieting
effect on the pneumOgastric nerve, the
largest nerve supplying the stomach.
Many nervous persons who like pea
nuts and do not know why, like them
for this reason. They quiet the nerves
of the stomach. These persons should
eat a few fresh roasted peanuts after
each hearty meal, as many nervous
conditions are due TO an irritation of
the pncumogastric nerve, and the pea
nut oil acts as sedatiye to this nerve.
or course the nuts must be crisp and
well chewed and not too many taken,
To get the best sedatiye effect a hand
ful OF the hot peanuts should be eaten
Just before retiring This presup'
poses that the powers of elimination
are In good repair. The peanut, a
member Of the pulse family, Is nutri'
tious and would clog the system II

It is not generally known that there

No commoner in the land can claim
any such privilege as of right under
English law. The matter is one OF spe-
cial privilege even to the members or

occasion to consult the king on state
affairs Even in such cases the audience
Is not personal to any member or the

Freedom of access" as 1t is con-
sttutionaly called is allowed to mem

speaker claims the privilege from the

form of request being that the COM

The title of speaker, as applied, some

nothing Of 1t. Once, having encounter

pounds Of buffalo meat IN one day and

An ant can carry a grain of corn
ten times the weight Of Its body, while
a man or horse can carry loads only
about equal to its bodily weight 1t
is not d fact, however, that the ant is
greatly superior in strength. IL an ant
should grow to twice its original size,
still retaining its geometrical and his
tological structure, its volume, and ac-
cordingly the weight of its body, would
increase eightfold. Although the mus
cles grow to twice their original di.
mensons, the increase in length does
not increase the strength which Is
proportional to their cross section, and
the ant would only be four times as
strong as before. AS It now carries
but five times its weight, however, 1t
is relatively only half as strong. 1t
is calculated that the same ant devel-
oDed to the size of a man would only
be able to carry one One-hundredth or
its own weight instead of ten times its
own weight.
