Now's the Time to Be
gin Your Summer War on
Dirty and Deadly | ousefly

The best means of getting rid Of flies
is never to let them. get foothold,
according to w. w. SWEET Of the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station.
Although his recommendations are
made mainly from the standpoint of
protecting cows against flies, they are
just as applicable to the protection of
people.
The best means of fly control is to
prevent their breeding. 1t requires ten
days for the fly to develop from egg
to adult, SO If all barnyard manure
and other filth in which it can develop
is cleaned up every five or eight days,
the flies supply will be cut off. If 1t
is impossible to remove the filth far
enough so that the flies which breed in
1t cannot reach the house or barns, it
may be treated with powdered borax
sprinkled over the manure pile or other
filth at the rate of about an ounce for
each cubic foot to be treated After
it has been sprinkled on, it should be
washed through the pile with water.
Half pound Of hellebore which has
been allowed to stand in ten gallons OF
water from ten to twenty-four hours
may be sprinkled at the rate of gal
lon to TIE cubic foot on the filth to
be treated.
In either barns or houses fytraps
help little, and great deal of relief
may be obtained by mixing half
pint of milk, half pint of water and
two tablespoonfuls of formalin Gao
per cent formaldehyde). Stronger mix
lures have so much formalin in them
that the flies do not drink it. A slice
Of bread may be placed in the plate
In which the mixture is exposed.
Cows may be protected by means OF
commercial or homemade repellants.
Pyrethrum powder is good, and the
commercial repellants are generally
preferable If they do not cost too much.
Homemade mixtures of either one part
of crude carbolic acid or pine tar with
nine parts of cottonseed oil give very
good results If applied lightly.

!" Who Will Win
This Battle !? 7

Your kidneys are the filters Of the body.
If they become inactive and fan TO elm
inate the waste matter, they are apt to
throw the whole mechanism OF the body
out of order, thus toxic poisons can ac-
cumulate in the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments of
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back
aches, neglect of the kidneys is apt to
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body of toxic poisons = clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges of rheumatism with Anuric,
and you win the battle Of life.

condition. Vaguely through her mind
there ran Bayard Taylor's line: 1.-THE
bravest are the tenderest." o the
thor ,htfulness, the consideration for
the poor little mother, the loving kind
ness of it all! "He is the truest gem
tleman I have ever known" she said
to herself.
Amy went to see Johnny, who was
not able to come to school for several
weeks. She found Mrs. Simpson a
poor overworked mother of many chiE-
dren. Wakely wrote her some notes,
very briefly about Johnny, but did not
call, as she had thought perhaps he
might.
One day as Amy was being taken
home in the car, Barker said: i've
got to see Wakely about something,
and Pm going to drive over that way"
After detour of some miles they
drew up in front of small house, and
Wakely came out to the car. He
greeted Amy quite formally, and in
vited them in.
1t was a good sized living room
they entered. There was large table
with shaded lamp, and great many
books. Amy inspected them while the
men talked. There was some good fic-
ton and poetry, and many philoso-
piers from Epictetus to Emerson and
Troward. Present when Barker asked
her to wait till he did something to
the car. she began talking to Wakely.
and somehow the conversation drifted
around to the incident of Wakely's
attempted protection from the
drunken man, and he could not resist
telling her how crestfallen he had felt.

ever knew" he said.

Make War On Flies

A fly left undisturbed in May means
a million flies, more or less, alive and
active in June. In their quiet little
way of coming, first one, then another,
we do not realize the nearness of their
season until whole broods are actu-
ally upon us. If we don't keep the flies
out of our houses, it is not for lack of
hortations backed up by unpleasant
statements of fact Statistics even tell
us that for one man killed in battle
ten are killed by the house fly, but
such statistics we are inclined to be-
lieve must have been compiled before
pressive than figures are the pictures
that some of us have seen. enlarged
photographs of the fly, that exhibit 1t
as repulsive creature instead of the
dainty little insect that looks, to ordi-
nary eyesight, made to be admired
rather than detested. But the photo
graph of a fly shows soft little pads
beneath the tiny feet, which catch and
carry thousands of disease germs.
Every time they settle on food they
leave a few of these germs behind to
endanger the health, and even the lives,
of those who eat the germ-laden food.
Thus the first step toward protecting
the family health is to have windows
and doors well screened, and every
part of the house, especially where
food is stored or used kent Scrllnu-
lousy neat. Dishes should be washed
up Immediately after they are used,
any sheds or outbuildings near the
house should be kept in spotless order,
as that is where the flies may breed,
and a good supply of ammunition for
fiy-fighting, homemade fly paper of
nonpoisonous kind. and fly swatters,
must be on hand, TO help in the cam
paign.

fifteen minutes, the messenger re-

This time Amy was really glad to see

"You see" he explained, Il thought
Mrs. Simpson might be frightened
half to death, thinking the little fei-
low was killed. Boys don't always
know Just how to tell things, and she's
not very strong. So ! thought If
could carry Johnny home, and sort

"That was very thoughtful and kind

Summer complaint" is what they
used to call the intestinal infections
that carry off so many. thousands of
babies each summer; but now doctors
often call it "f1y complaint" for they
are frequently caused by common
house flies, which carry the disease
germs to baby's mouth. Screen your
