"Swat the Eggs"
Better Than
"Swat the Fly"

"CWAT the fly" is a good warcry.
but 1t is like locking the stable
after the horse Is stolen. There
Is a better one, swat the eggs" Prob
ably every magazine and newspaper
in the United States printed last sea-
son from n to a score Of arraignments
of the common housefy-the disease
breeder, the typhoid fly, the ~infantile
paralysis fly; in a word, the twentieth
century pest, an enemy of mankind.
swat the fly" has become the slogan
of the day.
For every fly killed in June there will
be 10000 less In July, 100000 less
In August and by September the
most ambitious boy. eager to arm the
prize for the greatest number of flies
killed, couldn't possibly lift the progeny
Of this single fly which escaped him In
the springtime. All very true, but
where will all those files lay their eggs
and rear their precious babies? CAN
We find the nests, can we destroy them
by wholesale, the larvae or the eggs?
We can, easily and cheaply, and every
city with ordinary regulations may be-
come a fyless town. Flies breed In
filth, and If you get after those places
1t will say a lot of swatting later on.
Our government has carried IN an
extensive experiment with manure
piles and the eggs which each female
fly deposits therein by the thousand
and has found the remedy. 1t is ordi
nary borax, II of the commonest and
cheapest OF minerals, produced In
abundance In the United States, and 1t
takes very little to make the fly egg
quite worthless as a future fly. Borax
costs about 5 cents a pound, and the
crude borax mineral, colemanite, con-
siderably less, while three-ifths Of a
pound sprinkled through ten cubic feet
about eight bushels-of manure will
kill 80 per cent Of the eggs and mag
gots Of the fly.

JADE.
lite Great Charm Lies In Its Exquisite
Color Effects.

lite Great Charm Lies In Its Exquisite
Color Effects.
There is a great charm about the
stone called Jade, which, from pre-
historic times, has been carved into
ornaments and implements. 1t Is a
close grained, hard, massive substance,
showing a peculiar luster IN the cut
surfaces and possessing a distinctive
color, usually some shade or blending
of green or blue. 1t is sufficiently rare
to prevent objects made of 1t from be-
coming commonplace, being found only
In moderate quantities In certain parts
of the world.
China has always been famous for
its jade, and 1t is found also in Siberia,
Turkestan, New Zealand, Egypt and
northwestern America. Another name
for it Is nephrite, from the Greek
word for kidney, an old belief being
that 1t had curative powers over kid
ney diseases.
Much of the charm Of jade objects
arises from the exceedingly rich and
variegated colors of the materials.
These colors are not glaring or con-
spicuous. but subdued and beautifully
harmonious, and the artists In the fin
est specimens have taken advantage
of the distribution of the various tones
and tints to heighten the effect of
their designs while bringing out the
contrasts of color.
Often the most exquisite effects are
produced by the varying shades of
color running through the carved fig
ures. Among the colors characteristic
of jade and jadeite are emerald green,
mutton fat" tea green, violet, "cam-
phor" and yellow. Nearly all these
shades are sometimes found distribut-
ed through a single specimen. The
rarest combinations are said to be of
violent and emerald green.-Garrett P.

Flies Have Killed
More People Than
The Worlds Armies

A CCORDING to an eminent author
"a ity flies have been responsible
for the death of more human be
ings thar all the armies of the world.
Flies are natures champion spread
ers of disease. If you were to examine
a fly's legs through a sufficiently pow
erful microscope you would see a good
deal of decayed animal and vegetable
matter and millions Of ugly wriggling
things, more repulsive looking than the
worst nightmare monsters.
They are disease germs which the
fly has picked up in the course of its
travels. Diphtheria, enterio, typhoid anc
scarlet fever, influenza and many other
diseases are doubtless resting on the
legs of the fly.
Every time he alights on your head
he leaves a few germs. Presently he
will crawl over your food and leave
some more germs for you. to eat. Per
haps he will drown himself in your
milk jug. That will suit the germs, be-
cause they breed quicker In milk than
In any other medium.
If you are in good health you may
not come to much harm.
It is to children that flies are most
dangerous. Whenever there is an ex-
ira number of flies the infantiIe NOR
tally always becomes abnormal.
One Of the reasons why there is less
infantile disease, comparatively speak
ing, In the large towns than In the
country is because there are fewer
flies. The pigsties, COW sheds, stables,
refuse heaps and fertilizer piles of
the country breed 80 per cent of the
flies.
1t is never too late to start. Keep
your rooms clean, cool and dry. Keep
all food in a cool, dark pantry, and
place covers over it If necessary. See
that the lids of your garbage cans are
always on tight, and do not allow rub
bish to collect in your garden.
And whenever you see a fly kill it
Remember that every fly is your enemy

Laws Would Do Away
With the PestiferouS Fly

TT would appear, from what we
know of the life history of the
m housefy and from what
remedial experimentation has already
been carried on that it is perfectly
feasible for cities and towns to so
greatly reduce the numbers of these
annoying and dangerous insects as to
render them Of comparatively slight ac-
count. The health departments Of
most of our cities have the authority
to abate n%uisances dangerous to health,
and 1t is easy for the health authori-
ties of any city to formulate rules con-
corning the construction and care of
stables and the keeping and disposal
Of manure which, If enforced, will do
away with the housefy nuisance.

Eat n~ourishing food and give
up some of the counting hours to quiet

Is never much of a success.
Don't worry and fret and fume II
some little thing in the trOusseau goes
wrong, but leave the trouble to the
dressmaker or to the moment when
things are easier. Doing the other
thing, getting green with misery steen
times a day, spells the complexion.
Try to forget sometimes that you are
going to be married at all, for this
brings about the comfortable ease OF
mind one needs the best part of the
time to be really well. There will be
plenty Of time afterward to remember
everything.
Renew your body and spirits after
every fatiguing morning with a warm
afternoon bath and nap.
The white of the brides altar f1nery
is matched to her complexion. If she
Is q pale brunette she Is advised to
take q shade of cream for her gown
and net or lace veil. If she is a pure
blond she may wear pearl or snow
white. The old shade OF blue-white
for one must have the most perfect
complexion to stand the hard lights
this casts.
There are some dos and don'ts espe-
cially for the wedding morning. II the
bride feels that her face needs to be
leave the skin hard and shining. A
freshening bath which will remove the
feeling of untidiness Is made with clear
warm water In which a few drops of
benzoin are put. Rubbing the face
over with a little toilet water mixed
with plain water will also brighten the
cheeks of the too pale bride.
If very nervous when starting for
the church or parlor take the French
brides restorative, a teaspoonful of
orange flower water in half a glass Of
plain water.

train. Practice, too, how to give the
hand for the ring, which must not be
done as If the arm were made Of wood,
but with wrist bent and the ring
finger prettily separated from the
others.
Slip a tiny vinaigrette bottle in the
palm Of the right hand glove after
filling it with some good smelling salts
and sniff this gently at the dragging
moments when you feel that you will
drop if they don't hurry up and get
through.
At the same time cultivate this
thought: A bride Is not as
pretty as one who has her wits about
her.

Should Start a
Cooperative Cleanup

A COMMUNITY campaign against
IA flies should be started early, In
the winter If possible. Plans
should be made for town improvement
along this line. An association could
be formed for this purpose, the village
divided into districts and one or more
members made inspectors in each dis
trict. Every town and city should
have a food screening ordinance APP
plicable to food kept for sale.

SIX KILLED IN F|RE;; S2,0OO,0OO |SLOSS South Chicago Plant of the American Linseed Go. Is
 Destroyed

Chicago, December 31.-Fire today de- stroyed the South Chicago plant of the American Linseed company, known as the Cleveland Linseed oil branch, caused the death of six men believed to have been killed by an explosion or burned in the resulting flames and occasioned property loss of S2,OOO,OOO
 The fire started with an explosion at tributed to spontaneous combustion of linseed dust which wrecked the percolator building and sent flames sweeping through the other four buildings occu- pied by the company.
 So intense were the flames and so speedy were their spread that an oil freighter loade5 and ready to leave the Calumet river slip beside the plant caught fire and it's cargo was burned. All the employees except William Millies of the percolatng plant and five work men who were with him in the building were accounted for when the flames were under control.
 While the linseed plant was burning fire broke out in a warehouse in the Union Stock yards from which district companies had been sent to the South Chicago fire. The blaze was extinguished with much difficulty after damage amounting to $150,O00 had been done.
