Sunday School Day

Sunday School day was pretty
generally observed. The attend
ance was decidedly above the av
erage and a number of new faces
we're seen at the various schools.
The morning was cold and disa-
greeable which, no doubt, cut the
attendance much below what it
would have been if the day had
been a real Easter Sunday. The
unfavorableness of the morning,
however, did not keep the schools
from putting forth special efforts
and the services were of unusual
interest. There are many folks in
Huntingdon who do not attend
Sunday school that should do so,
and~w we believe would find great
interest in attending if they should
ever get started.

Kill at once every fly you can
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.

means there will be billions and
trillions less next summer.
Clean up your own premises;
see and insist that your neighbors
do likewise.
Especially clean ''out-of-way
places" and every nook and
Granny.
Flies will not go where there is
nothing to eat, and their diet is
too filthy to mention.

CARRIER" as many as five hundred
million germs have been found in
and on the body Of a single fly.
1t is definitely known that Che
fly is the carrier" of the germs
of typhoid fever; it is widely be-
lieyed that it is also the carrier"
of other diseases, including pos
sibly infantile paralysis.
The very presence of a fly is a
signal and notification that a house.
keeper is uncleanly and inefficient.
Do not wait until the insects be-
gin to poster; anticipate the an
