Fly Poison

House flies are more than nui-
sances; they convey disease and filth
wherever they go. SO If there are no
screens in the house try these simple
methods for getting rid of them. In
the bedroom put a. sponge I'm a saucer
and saturate it with oil of lavender,
says the Paterson Call. If this is
hung two or three feet ABOVE the
table one may eat in peace through
out the meal. Pots of rose geranium,
or the branches bruised and hung up,
are also said to be good for flies.
A honey pot of death and destruc-
ton to them may be made with two
ounces of ground black pepper. four
ounces of white sugar and half a pint
of sweet milk, Cook the things to-
gether for minute or so, and then
fill small plates with the mixture,
keeping edibles closely covered.
Sweep UP the dead flies twice day
and burn them

This is a lucky day for weddings,
dinners and whatever pertains to the
entertainment of persons OF prom
inence. Distinguished visitors from
abroad may bring overtures of friend
ship which will mean much in the
future.
Persons of every class are warned
by the stars to conserve their means
and to guard all their business ven
lures. This does not mean that COM
merce will not offer large rewards.
but the prophecy is that unexpected
, conditions will offer grave obstacles
to important progressive enterprises.

have the omen of serious problems
that will cause much anxiety within
ninety days.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have serious losses in the year. Both
men and women should be cautious
| in whatever relates to finance. The
young will court and marry.
Children born on this day probably
will be exceedingly ambitious. Boys
are likely to be adventurous and rest
less These subjects of Leo are likely
to be happy and successful all
through life.
