Formula For Destroying Flies.

The following formula is good one
for destroying fly larvae.
The department of agriculture has
recently issued bulletin, No. 118, en-
titled Experiments in the Destruction
of Fly Larvae in Horse Manure.
The bulletin says in part:
'By far tie most effective, econo-
mical and practical of the substances
is borax in the commercial form in
which it is available throughout the
country.
"Borax increases the water-soluble
nitrogen, ammonia and alkalinity OF
manure, and, apparently, does not per-
manently injure the bacterial fora,''
The directions in the bulletin are os
follows: ~
Apply O,62 pound borax to every
10 cubic feet (eight bushels) of ma
nure Immediately upon its remova!
from the barn Apply borax particu-
larly around the outer edges of the
pile with -four sitter or any fine
sieve, and sprinkle two or three gal
Ions of water over the borax-treated
mixture
"'The reason for applying the bora1
to the fresh manure Immediately after
its removal from the stable is that
the flies lay their eggs on the fresh
manure, and borax, when it comes in

Men and women of South Carolina,
Our executive committee of the State

life from typhoid fever. Approximate
ly 5000 cases with probably at least
500 Deaths We, therefore, declare war
upon the house fly, or as it should be
called, the typ. old fly. This fly breeds
only in filth, and by removing filth
from our houses, back yards, streets,
stables COW lots, hog pens, meat mar
kets, grocery stores, we can prevent
the fly from Caving place to lay its
eggs, which eggs hatch into maggots
and become full-fedged flies in ten
days time. Let your slogan be,
CLEAN UP and SCREEN UP Re-
member, flies in the dining room
means nurses in tie sick room. DR..
Nesbitt, health officer, Wilmington, N.
c., reduced the number of cases OF
typhoid fever in Wilmington one-half
by one months intensive campaign
organized by him against the fly. In
organizing your forces for cleanup
day, do not forget to declare war on
the mosquito, for the anopheles mos
quito carries malaria and the otter
varieties of mosquitoes carry insom-
mia, irritation and aggravation.
How to Organize For the War.
First: Have your city council agree
to cooperate in clean-up-day for
April 10, 1915.
Second: Have a central organiza-
ton for the conduct of the campaign.
This central organization may be your
local board of health, our Civic league,
a progressive newspaper, the women's
clubs, etc.
Third: Select leader in the work
for each city ward and let him or : er
name a cooperating committee.
Fourth: Interest your school super
intendent and see Il at they make their
schools and play grounds object les
sons to the school children and to their
parents in sanitation and cleanliness.
Let bsem interest the children in
clean-up-day. Button badges with ap-
propriate notices may be provided,
Five: Wide publicity should be
sought through the local press.
Sixth: Boz Scouts and such OF ec
organizations help should be enlisted,
Seyents: The chamber of commerce
should by all means be asked to put
its stamp of approval upon this work.
Eighth: Mass meetings should be
,eld prior to April 10th and speakers
and pubic health workers be invited
to address the people upon public
health

Capture Of Mihovitza and

Central Powers Up With
The Serbian Northern Army

London. Nov. 24.--With Austrian
capture OF Mitrovitza and Bulgar cap
ture OF Pristina. oficially reported
today. the central powers armies are
now face to face with the Serbs
northern army. The final fight u
evidently at hand.
In the 20-mile gap between the
towns at the ends Of the historically
famous Plain Of the Blackbird are
entrenched the indomitably courage
ous Serbians. Buffeted across their
land since Nish fell, the Serbs up to
the present have offeredswild resis-
tance to the invaders. They have
lost many in killed and captured, but
their spirit is still ferocious.
Whether the invaders are now in
suficient force to attack at once is
unknown, but, at any rate. it Is be-
lieved that a decisive battle on the
bloody Plain OF the Blackbird can
be delayed only q few hours. Here
history may be made again.
II the struggle continues long, the
Serbs, 1t is believed. must Inevitably
be captured. The central allies by
detouring can surround them. provid-
ed they have sufficient time. and then
the Serbs may be crushed as we're the
French at Sedan in 1870.
AT the best. the Serbians can hope
for no more than to be forced over
their border into Montenegro. Cap
ture Of their army on the Plain of the
Blackbird. or expulsion of the army
from Serbia. will mean that the
Teuton-B -Bulgar conquest of old Serbia
