Railroads and Industrials Regain

CBy the International News seryiee.)
New York. Sept 5.-The stock mar
ket returned to sanity today. After
an initial furry following the slump
and confusion Of yesterday, there was
distinct Improvement this morning
both in prices and sentiment. Chief
among the reassuring influences was
the easing Of the money rate from 6
TO 4 per cent. The Federal Reserve
Bank restored to circulation liberty
loan proceeds recently withdrawn
from the banks to be used for loans to
the allies but not yet so utilized.
There was also a heavy inflow of
funds from the interior. attracted by
the heavy loss in surplus reserves as
shown IN last weeks bank statement.
About midday. from steadiness the
market took on an appearance OF
strength. Steels led the way. The
railroads and other industrials re-
sponded less vigorously but still GER
tainly. Steel. after making a new low
record for recent months at 1o4 5-S, re-
bounded nearly five points. Indus
trial Alcohol sold up over six points.
American Beet Sugar was boosted
S1-2 The late afternoon trading was
less brisk with some easing in prices
but the undertone was good.

STOP THREATENED RECORD SEASON" FOR FLIES

diseases which claim SO many hundreds Of our
babies each year.
But, no matter how rigorous the cleaning up.
some flies are bound to escape it; therefore it is
well to know certain simple ways to kill the flies
that manage to elude every other precauton.
Where there are children, wire fly traps and
sticky fly paper are perhaps the safest, be-
cause il is dangerous to leave any poisonous
substance standing about.
But where it is safe to use poison this is an
excellent formula:
A formaldehyde solution, made by adding
three teaspoonfus of the concentrated formal
dehyde solution commercially known as forma-
lin to a pint of water. Similarly the proper
concentration Of sodium salicylate may be OBJ
tanned by dissolving three teaspoonfuls OF the
pure chemical Ia powder) to pint OF water.
Or mix together one tablespoonful of cream.
one of ground black pepper and one of brown
sugar. This mixture is poisonous to flies. put
in a saucer, darken the room except one WIN
dow and in that set the saucer
There are. however, pleasanter ways Of dis
couraging the visits Of fies in cases where
thew are not so numerous and hungry as 70
defy comparatively mild measures.
II has been discovered that any sort Of clean
perfume that is especially pleasing to man is
so hated BY flies that they will not come near
it. Therefore, it is possible in clearly and
weu.ordered house where there is nothing spe-
cially tempting to flies. to keep them away
with certain sweet and pungent perfumes.
Take five cents worth Of oil Of lavender, mix
il with the same quantity Of water, put in
common glass atomizer and spray II around
the rooms where flies are. In the dining room
.pray It lavishy even or the table linen. The
odor, so refreshing to most people, is very dis
agreeable to flies.
Geranium, mignonette, heiotrope and white
clover are also offensive to flies. And espe-
cially do they dislike the odor Of honeysucke
and hop blossoms.
