STRANGE SHE'S
PRO-CERMAN?


Mrs. w. Fl. Catterall, OF this city, Is
slightly pro-German in her sympathies,
fact that is not strange when II is
known that she has So cousins in the
Teutonic land and naval forces
Since the arrival Of the super-sub-
marine Deutschland" last week, Mrs.
Catterall is somewhat more pro-Ger-
man than ever and that too is not a
matter OF surprise when it is learned
that Capt Paul Koenig, commander
Of the first sub-sea merchantmen, who
steered the new vessel through all the
dangers Of the deep, is a cousin Of the
Chickasha woman Mrs. CatteralI adj
mits that she is proud Of the achieve
ment Of her kinsman.
Up to the first of March. only one
Of the cousins Of Mrs Catterall had
been killed in the war. only two had
been seriously injured, Mrs Catterall
says. If the percentage Of losses
among the other German warriors is
no larger than it has been among her
own people. Mrs. Catterall figures that
the kaiser can hold out against his en-
emies indefinitely.
Mrs. Catterall was born in Germany
coming to this country at the age oi
thirteen.

TRAP THE FLY

The fly Is an intruder in the house.
They do not belong in the house.
They were not born in your house,
Flies breed in filth, and every one Of
them can trace his birthplace back to
some rotting bit Of organic matter
rhe one that you rescue from the
butter or milk. Or that plays about On
the baby's bottle, or sports on the
food on your table was born in garb-
age Or stable refuse, and came from
those places of filth into your house
SO it is mistake to set the trap IN
the house.
Set it in the yard and let it guard
your house BY catching the flies be-
fore they get to the door
Flies are the filthiest and most dam
gerous insect known to man. They
are born in filth, bred in filth, and
carry filth with them wherever they
go, whether it be to the baby's bottle.
~ the market to the dairy, or to your
table.
They leave trail Of filth and death
behind them.
In Florida they are responsible for
the spread Of more than IS per cent?
Of typhoid fever, as Well As other dis
eases.
The great secret Of how to get rid
Of flies is by wholesale trapping Of the
breeders.
The city will pay cents quart
for all the flies delivered.
