Swat The FIy. VI.

The season OF the year has arrived
when it becomes the patriotic duty Of
every American to swat the fly and
keep on swatting him from cellar to
garret, from early morn til dewey
eve,a in any and every possible man
ner, whether by main strength or
scientific method
w are going to hear good deal
about flies this coming summer. In
previous seasons crusades against
this pernicious little disease carrier
have been prosecuted with more or
less vigor, but this year the war is
to be waged in systematic, scientific
manner Down South they have al-
ready started sWatting the fly. The
health authorities Of Georgia, Florida
and Louisiana are putting up posters
depicting the habits Of the house fly
and its proclivity for gathering and
disseminating disease germs. The
principle of ''the fewer flies, the less
sickness is being impressed upon
school children al we'll as house
wives The State food and drug
commissioner Of Tennessee has offer
ed two gold medals to school pupils
for the best essays on the house fly
as menace to health. Out in
California the women have organized
for the good fight The Texas health
officers are issuing bulletins warning
the public against their subtle foe.
The Merchants Association OF New
York City has issued rules for deal
ing with the fly nuisance.
A little pamphlet written by w. d.
Biggers, of Detroit, while it contains
many statements, scarcely suitable
for breakfast table persuaI, deserves
wide circulation for it, plain por-
trayal Of The evils that follow i'm thu
train Of the fly The indictment ID u
lengthy one, but il true bill. The
fly is put in the same class with the
mad dog, the snake in the grass and
the wild animal roaring at will, for
the fly is insidious. He turks in ev-
cry corner. He plants his disease
germs on your bread lie buries
them Ia your butter He browns them
in your baby's milk bottle. There ~
no escape If he once enters your
home. The lesson is obvious-put
your screens in early. Don't wait
until the enemy is legion, but start
the battle while there is some chance
Of winning. The fly must go.-Wil-

Thief,s Narrow Escape.

On Monday night about IL O'Clock
man was seen in the chicken YARD
of Mr.. Harvey Bankard, East Main
street, by Officer John A. Stem, who
called to him, "Is that you Harvey
but instead OF getting reply the
man started to run and officer Stem
started to shoot, but did not hit him
as the bullet was found in board in
the barn, next morning having
passed through two other heavy
boards. 1t is supposed the man
went by the way of Charles street, as
the dogs on that alley set up a live
ly howl about five minutes after thu
shooting, being about the length of
time required for the intruder to reach
that street. The supposition is that
he was after Mr.. Bankard's chickens
and would have been successful in
landing several of his fowls if he
would not have been seen by Officer
Stem.
The same night Mr- I'LL. H. Haller,
East Green street, had the lock ON
his chicken house forced open and
three of his prize layers bagged Mr..
Haller has taken down his Howitzer
and is waiting patiently for the
thief's return for another raid.
Six were also lifted from the hen
roost or Mr. III o. Diffendal, Bond
street, that night Possibly the
chicken raider will have enough of
the feathery family to supply the city
this spring and will give the citizens
a little more time to replenish the
roosts for a visit later
Whoever the thief is he will make
one too many trips and the law will
get him The raids have been made
in nearly every part of the city and
the thief always II successful I'LL mot
being identified or caught

There IL strong probability that

Union Bridge and from Elkins, and
located in Hagerstown. a high OH
cial stated that about All that now
stands in the way Of HagerstoWn
securing tine Joint shops AZ the fact
that suitable land II hard to secure
This same official stated that other
towns are making bids for the shops,
and in fact other towns along the
w. NJ. system have had sites staked
out, but that everything is being held
back pending what can be done in
Hagerstown-
The coach and paint shops at Un-
ION Bridge and at Elkins now employ
about 100 men, but the shops, when
the road Is operating full blast, as 1t
seems that the w. M. will soon do,
will employ about twice this number
of men.
