What the Reviewers
Thought of Mr.. Simonds's
First Book

II is scant Justice TO this volume 10 say that
It stands alone in the literature of the present
war. II is likely to maintain that position for
long time to come. New York Press
II has been brilliant feat of historical and
journalistic work. and this volume which
records events up to the fall Of Antwerp, Is
a clear impartial statement of what has hap
pened that will satisfy and enlighten those
who are honestly seeking the truth.
-New York San
He not only understands the intricate subject
that he is writing about, but he has the ability
to present it clearly and forcibly to his read
ers. -New York Globe
Among Americans who have followed and
commented on the strategy Of the war in Its
broader aspects, it is generally agreed that no
me has so fully measured up to the demands
of the hour as Mr.. Simonds.

This war ha. been sore disappointment TO
war correspondents. but ar least it has pro-
duccd one uncommonly good war editor

Here Is a volume Of worth, one of the best
that we have received on this great European
war. and will prove of great value and interest
to all that are watching the progress of the war
daily. London Literary and keUfeU
No ON English-speaking world has
better Ct, mt for the task of writing con-
temporane, As history than Mr.. Simonds, and
he has made the most of his opportunity.
Troy Record
No work has appeared which approaches this
in its grasp of the essential problems that are
being worked out with fire and blood In
Europe Without bias, without cheap senti-
ment, it gives the reader an accurate. straight
forward story of the first phase of the worlds
greatest conflict -Binghan,ton Press
There have been many volumes Of cxplana-
ton, accusation and recrimination, but this IS
the first which deals with facts As such it is
valuable for those who wish to read of the
courses Of the various armies and the plans
of campaign as they now appear to an expert
observer who has had an opportunity to verify
his information. Detroit Tribune
No one can bc really well informed about the
causes and the conflict of the war till the fall
of Antwerp who docs not read this volume.

Mr.. Simonds's STYLE is vivid and forceful and
his attitude strictly impartial. Altogether his
book is a valuable one for the layman.

Here are the plans for a fly
trap for the boy who wants to
have the fun of making things
and at the same time help his
mother keep the house free of
flies this summer.
The material for one of these
traps does not cost more than 10
or 20 cents and any boy who is
handy with tools can make one
in a short while. Half-inch fir
and small quantity of wire-net-
ting, the kind used for window
screens. is all that is necessary.
The best size is one 16 inches
long, ~ inches high and s inches
wide. Sour milk, a piece of ban
ana, or some other fruit skin
makes a good bait and the flies
that are caught each day should
be killed by pouring hot water
over the trap or by leaving it
immersed in water until the flies
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-06-01

are dead. The bait should be re-
moved at night or 1t will attract
ants.
The fly trap is made in three
distinct parts "a, B and CO as
shown in the accompanying illus
tration. These may be detached
from one another by christening
the hooks Cd that hold them
together at either end.
The trap must be unlocked to
place the bait on the two pieces
of tin (E) tackled to the bottom
section. The circular tops of
milk or paint cans can be used to
hold the bait.
The middle section OBJ of the
trap consists of a screen covered
frame that resembles a small
gable roof through which there
are six holes (F) to let the flies
into the uppermost section (A)
which is merely the screened-in
cage that is set down over the
other two parts (B and CO.
The handle CID will be found
convenient when the trap Is i'm
mersed in water to kill the flies.

eyes before it is too late. The eyes are
neglected more than any other organ

your days work you sit down and rest
your muscles, but how about your

work your eyes until you go to bed.
That is why so many have strained
eyes and finally other eye troubles that
threaten partial or total blindness.
Eyeglasses are merely crutches: they
never cure. This free prescription,
which has benefited the eyes of So
many, may work equal wonders for
you. Use it a short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as

note how quickly your eyes clear up
and how soon the inflammation will
disappear Don't be afraid to use it; it
is absolutely harmless. Many who are
now blind might have saved their eyes

time. This is a simple treatment. but
marvelously effective in multitudes OF
