Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
OF the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,

If SO, let us urge you TO give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,

At four o'clock he turned in and
slept like log.
In the morning he found his oppor-
tunity. For half an hour the forecastle
was empty of all save himself Fever
ishly he pried back the boards, found
the brace beam, and gently laid the
box there. 1t was a mighty curious

the Chinese coast from the Philip

in origin. He tried to pry open the
cover and feast his eyes upon the
treasure; but under the leather and
ivory and mother Of pearl was imper-
vious steel. It would take an ak or
crowbar to stir that lid He sighed.
He replaced the boards, and became

get his treasure in safety first. They,

Suddenly the two men closed surged
back and forth, one determined to

wanted the box but to prove that he

House Flies

The house fly, or typhoid
fly, as it is now often called, is
"a nuisance a filth pest, and
may carry the germs OF typhoid
fever. tuberculosis, dysentery
and Asiatic cholera to human
food and drink. Leprosy,
anthrax. smallpox, and other
suppuratinR diseases may also
be transmitted bv this domes-
ticated enemy.
The stable fly, which differs
from the house fly only In hav-
ing mouth parts fitted for pierre
ing the skin instead OF sucking
food only, as the house fly, is
claimed to be in someway re-
sponsible in transmitting the
germs OF infantile paralysis.
Many thousands OF infants sue
cumb to this disease and suns
mer diarrhoea, and there is abb
solutely no doubt that flies are
largely responsible for the loss
OF these innocent lives. Many
thousand of all ages pay the
toll Of death from typhoid fe-
yer, and tuberculosis, the am
nual economic loss due to fe-
yer alone being estimated at
$4,000, 900. in the United
States.
Families who have lost dear
ones from some Of these pre-
ventable diseases alone know
the sad heartaches caused
thereby! But who knows who
the next victim may be? When
some member OF the family is
sick. or dies, it is too late to
be alarmed except for others.

certed effort to stamp out this
deadly, filthy pest as nearly as
possible. Certainly no one
cares to be annoyed BY it, or
eat its filth even though fortu-
nate enough TO escape di,ease.
The favorite breeding place
Of the house fly is horse man
ure. 1t also breeds in other
similar excrement. No filth is
too foul, neither is any food
too clean to be free from its
visits. People are becoming
aroused as never before TO
the Importance of fighting the
fly. and there will he no reIent-
ing until the last thing possi-
bic is learned and done to re.
duce the number OF flies to a
minimum, and all possible SAN
ltary measures are put in prac-
tice to prevent the danger of
this deadly enemy to human
lite.
1t is generally stated that
more soldiers died from ty-I
phoid fever in Cuba in 1893.
than were killed by Spanish
bullets. There may never
have been but one fever pa
tient had the refuse been bur-
led from the flies, as we'll as
carrying out other sanitary
measures.
Who is not willing to swat
the fly! No one. But it is a
big job, and one that all must
work at. How? Every one
knows that it is necessary
to screen doors andwin-
d ows and keep things clean,
SO as not to attract them. But
cooking and eating must be
done and it is impossible not 10
attract them to some extent.
They seem to find a peculiar
pleasure in rubbing the numer-
Gus hairs ON their legs and
bodies over ones person any
way.
Each female A may lay as
many as four patches OF 100
eggs each. These i'm warm
weather develop into adult flies
in from toto IL days. SO il
is seen that she may have an
offspring of from $4,000 to
100000 in a month, depending
on number of females which
are approximately halt the flies
produced. Fortunately the
tull number never develop, but
every one knows how nearly
successful they are.
Next to cleanliness and
screening houses the place Of
breeding must be attacked.
All manure and refuse in which
flies breed should be hauled
and spread twice a week, or
treated with some substance to
destroy the eggs and larvae.

best things TO use. 1t can be
