HOW TO CATCH FLIES.

The Best FLY Trap and the Best Poi
son Bait.
The best fly trap is a wire screen cyl
fnder with cone of the same material
inside of its lower part, the pointed
end up. Beneath the cone is placed the
bait in any convenient shallow recep-
tacle. The fy. seeking light. flies up
and out of the small end of the cone,
thereby entering the cylinder, from
which it can find no escape.
One can find such traps anywhere
for sale. But it is easy to make them,
and when homemade they are just as
good. while costing only a fraction of
the price.
Such traps, of course, should be set
where the flies most do congregate-as.
for instance, on the sunny side OF a
building out Of the wind. A butcher
shop is a great place for fly trap; it
viii catch quarts of them in day.
When the fly trap is full the insects
are easily killed by immersing the trap
in hot water.
Fly paper of the sticky kind is
a first class fly catcher. One does not
need to buy it. Take two pounds of
rosin and a pint of castor oil Mix
them and heat until the stuff looks like
molasses. Smear it while hot with an
ordinary paint brush on old newspa-
pers- A dozen sheets of it win cost
cent
The best poison bait for flies. says
the United State bureau of entomology,
is made by putting two tablespoonfuls
of formaliR obtained at any drug
store) into a pint OF milk and water.
half and half Of the two Put the stuff
in saucers in places frequented by flies
A little bread in it helps But take
care that children and animals do not
drink it. for it is deadly poison. Keep
all other liquids out of reach of the
flies. They are thirsty all the time, and
the stuff will Kill them off by whole
sale.

Usually Result From Wearing Shoes
Too Small For the Feet.
Corns. ike corsets, boarding houses
and late hours. are a menace to ones
sweet disposition
Corns are hard growths which occur
on the toes or some other part of the
feet They are generally the result OF
wearing a shoe too small for the foot.
They are chickering's of the outer
layer of the skin. in the center of
which is nail-like peg. which projects
downward and hurts when pressed
upon Soft corns form between the
toes and are only different from others
in that they are soaked with perspira-
ton all the time. The corn itself is
composed of lump of the outer part
Of the skin. which IS caused by the
pressure Of the shoe at that spot.
However. the corn would not result
unless the pressure were taken of at
intervals. and this, OF course. is done
when you take the shoe of 1t stands
to reason that II the pressure were
continuously applied to this spot the
skin, instead OF oyergrowing at that
precise point, would waste away. The
overgrowth of the skin Is due TO the
irritation produced by the pressure

After all the situation as it con
Germs Russia in the war is not so bad
as 1t might appear at first thought
SO long as Russia does not make
separate peace the Germans and Aus
Il ans will be obliged to stretch an
army all the way from the Baltic to
the Black Sea even though the war
must be won on the west front The
recent setback OF the Russians makes
ii look as though Russia was poorly
advised either by the Root commits
sion or by English and French repre-.
sentatives. In the long run ii would
seem as though more would be ac-
complished by helping Russia to es-
tablish staple government strong
enough to command respect at home
and do business abroad. II this is
done the time will come when Russia
can again aid the Allies but that time
is not yet. The surest way to drive
Russia into separate peace is to en-.
courage her to undertake an often.
siye which she is not strongly enough
organized to maintain and push to a
conclusion The present Russian
army is collection of units which do
not appear to be willing to work in
harmony and which cannot rely on
the government back of them to fur
nish support when needed. The Al
lies are hurting their own cause when
they urge Russia to any effort be
yond her strength.

Vermont never looked better than
just now. The generous rains of the
past two weeks have kept the vegeta-
tion in strength and vigor and the
crops are booming beyond hope or ex.
pectation. If there is anybody who
doesn't admire our little mountain
state it is because they have not seen
it under present day conditions. 1t
is a good time to ask those who have
been here before to come again or to
invite in new friends to enjoy the hos
pitality of Vermont.

The responsibility on the exemption
board grows every day and its mem
bers will find the job one of the hard.
est they ever tackled. Every time
they exempt man near the head Of
the list they render certain the call
ing of a man farther down. II any
one is released unjustly anethelti in.
justice is done TO another. In Yer
mont there may not be much ten
dency to dodge but it will be strong
in some parts of the country and an
exemption board that does its duty
fearlessly will earn deserved credit
