bage and raw meat are the favorite
rations and abiding place OF flies.
Barns. stables and uncovered table
waste. as well as that from slaughter
houses. are the alma matters OF flies.
Here Il Is that they lay their eggs.
One female fly at liberty In April
or May will lay an average Of four
patches OF over one hundred eggs
each These hatch out within day
into maggots. which moult three
times within week before they be-
come flies.
Within few days the females of
this generation are busy laying
eggs In their turn. So one fly has
thousands Of great grandchildren
within a few weeks. and countless
number Of descendants within a
few months. The most logical meth
cd OF abating the nuisance is the
elimination or the sterilization OF
the breeding places.
To guard against the menace.
housewives must carefully wash all
fruits and foods that are eaten un-
cooked and all food stored in pan
tries. cooked or uncooked. should be
kept carefully covered and protected
from the filthy fly.
Begin your campaign against your
enemy, the fly. today!

It is Said that 46 per cent of the
Gentle peoples of the earth and 6s
per cent of the Jews are involved i'll
the great war now going on. Com
menting on this assertion, the Central
Christian Advocate says: "Five Jews
are in the British cabinet, and one
Lord Reading-is Lord Chief Justice.
The Jew is loyal to the nation he lives
in, and so jew is fighting Jew. All
the German railways are under the di-
reetion of a Jew. Herr Liebnecht, the
leader Of the Great Socialist party, is
a jew, and many another man i'll high

are being oppressed anew in Palestine.
