Winter Is the Ti1e to
 Kill Next Summers Flies

Don't let your home become Q winter haven for flies, says the North Carolina state board of health. Even the clean home when the weather turns cold becomes attractive to flies, and only the greatest vigilance will keep them out. But when flies do get into the home at the coming of cold weather don't let them go to the ceiling and stay there. And don't think that the first freeze will kill them out Flies are not dead when they lie around stiff with cold. The next warm spell or next spring will show you they were ''possuming."
 In case of a freeze, however, every hy in the house should be swept down and burned. They should be sought out and brought from under cover in every room in the house, from the eel lar to the garrett Scientists tell us that the flies that were hatched late and that have not completed their life cycle are they which live in an even temperature through the winter and become tho progenitors of our count less millions next summer. Conse- quently now Is the time to fight next summers flies.
 This is the time when "swatttng" flies will be really effective. But if there are too many to swat" trap or poison them. Use fly paper and every other means In order that not one may be carried over from one season to the

Ohio Is Hard Hit by the. Prevail

Coal prices still stir the United

Ohio, has been one of the most con-
sistent critics of the high charges now
made.
THE prices are so high In Cleve-
land" he said yesterday in the Sen
ate. that the city has been obliged
to charge increases for light. water.
and heat. A coal operator who ap-
peared before the Interstate Com
merce Commission said he thought 81

uses 100000 tons annually. At this
fair profit Cleveland would have to
pay 100000 extra annually.
Il have no doubt that IN the last
six months the prices have been twice

coal men would have been 81, 3O0. .0O0
instead of q, ,000, 900.

ZONES OF Big GUNS
SAFEST FOR TROOPS
Officer Says Soldiers Think Infantry
Most Dangerous.

what is the safest place in the
Army for a fighting man?'
There Is no branch of the service
where a combatant Is exactly safe"
was the reply Of Col. McIver. Of the
Militia Bureau, but they do say that
the infantry is the most dangerous,
even more so than the aviation Sec
tion."
1.-The Coast Artillery is tolerably
safe" he added in answer to the
question as to whether 1t was not
the safest of all branches, land II Is
an interesting fact that In the course
Of our voluntary enlistments every
branch In the regular army has been
filed up except the infantry. Whether
that Is a result of a shrewd grasp of
the situation or mere chance, / am
unable to say"
Other army officials were even more
emphatic in statements that the
Coast Artillery, which II Is generally
known in the service will handle the
large mobile howitzers and other long
range guns in France, Is one OF the
most attractive branches of the Dis
trict National Guard for the recruit
to enter, because while 1t exposes a
combatant to a moderate amount Of
risk Of being hit by an enemy shell.
there will not be as many casualties
in the heavy artillery.
The comparatively less dangerous
position occupied by the heavy artil-
lerymen is readily grasped when It is
recalled that the long range 10-inch
guns are used on railway carriages.
from ten to twenty miles back of the
front line trenches. The enemy's long
range guns are stationed a equal dis
tance back of their most advanced
trenches. Thus the heavy artillery Of
both sides are generally out Of range
of each other. The extreme range OF
the guns of the heaviest caliber is
about 90 miles, and their percentage Of
hits at such a distance is small. 1t
is conceivable. of course. that when IT
Is desired to destroy one Of the
enemy's bases in the rear of the front
trenches, the heavy guns may be
moved up closer and get in range OF
each other. Practically all the heavy
artillery used abroad is Of the mobile
type, so when the enemy locates its
position it quickly shifts to another.
