KILL FLIES AND SAVE LIVES

Kill at once every fly you can find
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.
Clean up your own premises; see
and insist that your neighbors do
likewise.
Especially clean "out-ofthe-way
places" and every nook and Granny.
Flies will not 90 where there is
nothing to eat, and their principal
diet is too filthy to mention.
The fly is the tie that binds the UNI
healthy to the healthy!
The fly has no equal as a germ car
rier" as many as five hundred million
germs have been found in and on the
body of a single fly.
1t is definitely known that the fly
is the carrier Of the germs of ty-
phoid fever; it is widely believed that
it is also the carrier" of other dis
eases, including possibly infantile
paralysis.
The very presence Of fly is signal
ana notification that q housekeeper is
uncleanly and inefficient.
DO not wait until the insects begin
to poster; anticipate the annoyance.
ANY odor pleasing to man is offensive
to the fly and yice.yersa, and will drive
them away.
Take five cents worth of oil Of Law
ender, mix it with the same quantity
Of water, put it in a common glass
atOmizer ana spray it around the
room where flies are. In the dining
room spray it lavishly even on the
table linen. The odor is very disagree
able to flies but refreshing to most
people.
Geranium, mignonette, heliotrope
and white clover are offensive to flies.
They especially dislike the odor OF
honeysuckle and hop blossoms.
According to French scientist files
have intensive hatred for the color
blue. Rooms decorated in blue Will
help to keep out the flies.
Mix together one tablespoonful OF
cream one of ground pepper one OF
brown sugar. The mixture is poison
Gus to flies. Put in a saucer, darken
the room except one window and in
that set the saucer.
To clear the house Of flies, burn
pyrethrum powder. This stupefies the
flies, but they must be swept up and
burned.-Carthag Courier.

THE GREAT UNITED STATES.

THE GREAT UNITED STATES.
Only one and one half centuries ago
on July 4th, Thomas Jefferson signed
the Declaration of Independence which
made the country free. Every man
who had a spark of patriotism in him
was willing to spill their life blood to
uphold and protect this declaration.
The letter United States that con-
tanned only about 13 political divisions
and 100000 population. But from
this the country and population gradu-
ally increased until through conquest
and purchase she extends from Ocean
% ocean and from the lakes to the
Gulf.
On March 3Oth, 1857 Alaska was
bought from Russia for $7,20O,00O and
Hawaii was annexed in 1898. In 1899
Spain coded to the United States, Por-
to Rico and Guam and the United
States gave her 20,OOO,OOO for the
Philippine Islands. The United States
recently purchased from Denmark the
West Indies, now known as the Virgin
Islands, for $25,000,000. At present the
area of continental United States is
3,602990 square miles, and the area
of the country and its possessions, not
including the Virgin Islands, is BITS,
S55 square miles with population
of ITO, 100000 souls.
Today practically all trains in Great
Britain are pulled by American To-
comotives, and in all parts of the globe
can be found locomotives manufacture
ed in the United States. We have
greater milage of railroad than the
whole of Europe. Our wealth is great
er by $S7, 100000. than the combin-
ed wealth of the central powers in this
war, and lacks only $15,OOO,O 900, 900 be-
ing equal to the combined wealth of
the Allies. In short, her wealth in
round numbers is 100000, 900, 0O0
She is the greatest and wealthiest ma

This is the enormous height to
which the nation of the great Washing
ton has attained. This is the powerful
nation that has inferred the war for
right of man.
