BEWARE OF THE DAN.
GEROUS HOUSE FLY

The Fly is the tie that Binds thu
Unhealthy to the Healthy!
Kill at once every fly you can fine
and burn his body.
Observers say that there are many
reasons to believe there will be more
flies this season than for a number OF
years.
The killing of just one fly now means
there will be billions and trillions less
next summer.
Clean up your own premises; see
and insist that your neighbors do like

Recipes for Killing Flies
The United States Government,
makes the following suggestion for
the destruction of house flies: Formal
dehyde and sodium salicylate are the
two best fly poisons. Both are super
ior to arsenic. They have their ad-
vantages for household use. They are
not poison to children; they are con-
venient to handle, their dilutions are
simple and they attract the flies.
Preparation of Solutions
A formeldehyde solution Of approx
imately the correct strength may be
made by adding three teaspoonfuls of
the concentrated formaldehyde solu-
ton, commercially known as formalin,
to pint of water. Similarly, the
proper concentration of sodium slicyl-
ate may be obtained by dissolving

Production, Food Preparation and

We are told by good authority that
there are enough food products in our
country to supply the need Of all.
But we are not always able to pro-
cure these products. even if they are
in the local markets, we do not always
have sufficient money with which to
buy and pay present prices.
Consequently, we must produce on
our own or available lands as much as
possible toward our need, and con-
serve it and use it.
