USE THE SWATTER

On the authority of the United
States government, we are Informed
that "a single fly at the end OF the
ninth generation may reach the num-
Der of 1853, 100000 female flies, to say
nothing of the male flies"
Figuring from this basis. single ny
killed in June means that several bill
lions will never be born which other
wise would be on hand to annoy and
destroy the human race.
A fly killed in June means that mil
lions may be deducted from the July fly
census returns. This IL an encouraging
proposition.

Put Poison, FLY
Paper Out of
Riddles Reach

No matter how Jealous we may have
been in fly prevention, without doubt
the fly will be with us again this sum-
mer. We will try to screen him out
and disinfect him out, but when he
appears indoors we will have to set
a direct trap for him in the shape OF
some kind of fly poison.
There are poisons safe and unsafe,
and if we have any little children in
the home the kind of fly bait we use
deserves moments thought. Reports
of last summer tell us that IL children
In the states reported land how many
in the unrepOrted states we don't
know died from carelessly touching
or swallowing the liquid from so
called poison fly paper. These sheets
Of specially prepared paper, which are
laid in saucedishes and left around the
room, are treated with arsenic, one OF
the most dangerous poisons and fatal
to children.
The saucer lying on table or window
sill is a constant temptation to q
child. who cannot reason or under
stand. To put ones finger in the dish
and taste it seems quite natural-but
deadly. Many other deaths attributed
to infant diseases, like summer COM
plant, have later definitely been
traced to tasting fly poison.
Better than this kind of fly bait, II
there are children around is some one
of the sticky papers. Their disadvan-
tage, that they are in the way and ar
ticles are apt to become fastened to
them. is done away with If wire racks
manufactured specially for the pur-
nose are used with them. The sheet
can be put into this rack and the rack
hung on the wall or other place out
of reach or danger from blowing about
Another form Of sticky poison is the
so-called "sticky tape which comes
in a roll to be suspended from the
ceiling or wall. AS the roll unwinds
and waves in the air the flies are at
tracted to it and stick to it. Yet there
is never any danger Of such tape
soiling articles.
There is also a new, peculiar WIRE
covered poison pad to be hung up on
the wall. Flies are attracted to the
mad and when they taste its contents
they at once die. The pad can be hung
anywhere and lasts season. IL d
LIQUID poison is preferred, nevertheiess'
the simplest is weak solution OF Tor
maldehvde in water in the proportion
of two teaspoonfuls to pint. 1t may
no placed in saucers, preferably ont OF
reach. although it is practically non
poisonous except to insects. and IS, III
addition, good disinfectant. Ten
cents worth of this liquid will last q
family all summer.
Pvrethrum powder may be burned IN
badly infected rooms. To prepare It
place a piece of paper in the bottom OF
/ the bowl and sprinkle enough OF the
nowder on to cover the paper. over
This sparingly sprinkle some saltpeter
Place the bowl on a tray and lgn'
one end of the paper left exposed
when the fumes will arise.
Choose a safe poison. Your chlld'
life depends on the caution you use.

tally cared for this year, two COM
plete outfits Of new clothing hav-
ing been sent each one. This clothing
is purchased individually by the
members, the treasury not being
made to bear the expense.
Our contributions to Rest A
While have been:
$1,000 for the purchase of house
hold linen; $1,000 for the vacation
home; $500 toward the general
fund.
$3.50 for the Thanksgiving din
ner in New Orleans.
During the year cake and COT
fee sale and two profitable rum
mage sales have been held. Thru
the courtesy Of one Of our grocer
les holding an opening and demon
stration our Circle was permitted
to set a booth and solicit orders for
the store, a generous commission
being given. A nice amount was
realized for the afternoons work.
A substantial free will offering is
received at each meeting, in addi-
ton to the yearly dues of each
member. A dozen locked boxes have
been placed in the different bust
ness houses, restaurants, clubs and
barber shops. In these charitably in
clined people drop their pennies
and cigarettes coupons. From these
cash contributions and sale of to-
bacco coupons worth while sum is
realized for our charity fund.
Beginning our fiscal year with a
balance Of $6O.54, our total cash
receipts have been $281.82; our
disbursements $4,000, leaving a
balance on hand Of $43.16. The in
dividual donations to charity of our
members, done in the name of the
Circle, probably amount to half our
recorded cash disbursements.
We have 10 subscribers to the
Silver Cross magazine.
The Junior Circle is composed OF
20 earnest, astive members.
These little girls elect their own
officers, conduct their meetings and
write their own reports. The meet
ings are held in the home of one OF
the senior members, who is assist
ed in guiding and directing the
work of the Juniors by two others
senior members.
Our monthly meetings, which are
held in the homes of the members
not less than three entertaining to-
gether, always terminate in a socia
hour, during which light refresh
ments are served. These have come
to be a popular and valued feature
of the meetings, making for an in
crease in attendance and promoting
the spirit Of good fellowship ant
mutual interest.
A phase of our work has beer
