START FIGHT
ON FLIES
TODAY

An ounce of prevention is worth q
pound of cure, 1t has often been said,
and its truth has been demonstrated
In more cases than one. Many house.
wife has found to her sorrow that this
saying is particularly true with regard
to flies, for a fly left undisturbed In
May means a million alive and healthy
In June.
This is the season Of the year when
flies begin to swarm. With the first
warm days come the first flies. First
one appears, then another, and before
the housewife realizes 1t whole brood
fills her house.
Housewives, begin your fight against
flies now. DO not let even one stay In
your home undisturbed. Don't think
to yourself, as so many women do.
"Oh, well, one fly doesn't matter. 1t
Is time enough to get after them when
half dozen appear" Begin at once
with the very first fly that appears.
Have no mercy on them at all.
Every year hundreds of women read
dozens Of just such warnings as this
against the fly, and pay no more atten-
ton to them than II they had never
read word. Just so long as such
silly, headstrong women exist will that
dangerous menace, the house fly, con-
tinue to thrive.
II these women only could be made
to realize that no more serious danger
exists than the house fly perhaps they
would do their part to eliminate the
peril. Statistics tell us that for every
man killed in battle ten are killed by
the house fly. If each and every one
of you women would only lend your as
sistance in making this a nationwide
crusade against the fly there might be
some hope of wiping out the trail Of
disease which always follows In its
wake.
You have all seen, at some time or
other, enlarged photographs of the fly.
with its tentacles. Beneath the feet
are soft pads, which catch and carry
thousands of disease germs. Every
time they settle on food they leave q
few of these germs behind to endanger
tne nedltn, anu even tHe lives, VI tiiOSc
who eat the germ-laden food.
There Is really no excuse for the
woman who reads of the definite dan
ger lurking In flies feet and yet Is too
careless or too lazy to kill them when
they are flying about food.
Start at once, for II you let even one
escape it will be thousand times null
tiplied in another month. Your first
step toward protecting yourself and
your family from the deadly onslaughts
of the fly should be having the house
thoroughly screened. Every window
should have a screen, and you should
see to 1t that no one leaves a window
open without first putting the screen
In.
Then you must be very careful not
to leave any dishes standing around
with bits of food on them. Wash the
dishes right up at once, and see that
scrupulous cleanliness Is maintained
about the kitchen. Be sure that your
garbage can Is kept covered, for flies
will gather there more quickly than
anywhere else.

Average Of Wind.

Some builders Of windmills estimate
that a wind sixteen miles an hour may
be expected for eight hours per day on
the average for every day in the year.
This does not mean that such a wind
can be relied upon every day In the
year, but that the average wind all the
year round would equal sixteen miles
an hour for eight hours every day

SAYS PERAL ENGINES
 GAVE OUT AT SEA.
Spanish Submarine Had to Be Towed
 to the Azores.

After the Spanish submarine Isaac Pera1 had sailed 200 miles out at sea from New London her engines broke down and her convoy, the steamer Claudio Lopez. was forced to tow the submersible to the Azores, where the engines were repaired, according to an Associated Press despatch received Friday. Officers of the New London Ship and Engine company when askesl concerning the matter stated that the radiograms and cablegrams received said that everything was in fine work ing order and no accidents of any kind had happened.
 The information concerning the breaking down of the engines was giv- en out by Capt. James A. Kimbail of New York, who arrived from Spain Friday. He acted as pilot on the Lopez while in American waters. and while the liner was at Montauk Point. wait ;as for the Peral one of the T. A. scott company's tugs went out to bring nlm ashore. The water was unusually rough and Captain Kimball was forced to sail to Spain on the Lopez.
 If what Captain Kimball says is true, it is unknown by the officials of the Ship and Engine company. The TWO men that made the trip represent ing the company have written here but say nothing about engines breaking down. The Peral is equipped with en- zines specially designed for her and are thought to be, by many connected with the company, as efficient as any DleSsel engine ever built in this coun- try.
 The Isaac Peral left New London, harbor on the morning of Feb. 96 When she stopped at the Canary IsI ands the reason given the company was that the Lopez had freight con- signed to the islands and the trip would not be resumed until the freight was discharged.
