This should be the slogan In
Tacoma, as well as in more FLYNN
tested localities; for a single fly
may cause death.
He is soldier who fights by
inoculating his enemy with dread

Good housekeepers think a fly

graced thus:
Keep the premises clean.
Keep stable refuse in closed,

Keep the garbage can clean and
