keep PLACE CLEAN
SO FLIES WON'T
BOTHER YOU

IL you want to be rid of the fly evil
this summer get the habit Of keeping
your premises clean. Once you get
the habit it won't be much trouble to
do SO.
Drain your garbage. wrap it in pa.
per and put IT in metal bucket with a
iy.proof lid. II

If you keep a horse, don't have
a manure pile or bin. Put the ma
nure is a small receptacle-say, a
tin tub or barrel which can be kept
covered from flies. Have this taken
away and spread on field oftener
than once a week.
II you have an outdoor toilet, see
that the vault is closed up tight where
the house fits over it, Use sod to make
1t so if you cannot get cement. Use
plenty of lime on the sewage and keep
covers on the seat holes.
Keep your house screened, keep q
swatter handy and keep your eye
peeled-for during cold or rainy
weather a few flies almost surely will
wander in. Vigilance and action on
your part will so discourage the flies
after one or two seasons that they
will keep away from your premises.
Tell this to your neighbors and urge
them to join you in the campaign
against the fly pest. Pretty soon 9th
ers will see the advantage of santa
ton, and if there's any "git-up-and-git"
in the neighborhood it will not be long
until everybody in your end of the
town will have the sanitary habit.
1t is not expensive to get rid of
flies. There are people who may feel
they cannot afford to buy garbage
can or other little necessities of clean
premises. Where there's a will there's
way. If you cannot afford today to
spend any money, set your mind on
cleaning up the place and do the best
you can. Use such extra tubs and
buckets as you have at hand. Above
all, don't be lazy. Clean up right!

When the Worlds All New.

It is the same old world that we
greeted on New Years morning. But
somehow it looked SO different. The
Invisible dividing line between last
year and this has made possible a
new angle of vision. The grip of old
passions seems to have lost it's hold
and new purpose, partly old, partly
new, throbs for recognition. A gen.
tleness appears in faces thought to
be hard and cynical. Happiness
sparkles in the eyes of sad and lonely
folk. A sort of introduction is need
e6 to oneself. For the dawn of the
new year makes possible a fresh at
tack on the age-weary problems,
another attempt to produce the best
instead of the good, and new walk
down by-ways of human experience
where one may be a good Samaritan
with no eye but his to see and
understand. The world is all new on
New Years morning - my world,
your world, our world-to make over
for the Kingdom. - Ralph Welles

Time expels the Druid.
At the last stroke Of midnight
loud knock is heard at the gate ant

answer.
