 Geranium, mignonette, helie- trope and white clover are of fensive to flies. They especial ly dislike the odor of honey suckle and hop blossoms.
 According to a French scient- ist flies have intense hatred for the color blue. Rooms decorat- ed in blue will help to keep out the flies.
 Mix together one tablespoon full of cream, one of ground black pepper and one of brown sugar. This mixture is poison ous to flies. Put in a saucer, darken the room except one window and in that set the sau- cer.
 To clear the house of flies, burn pyrethrum powder. This stupefies the flies, but they must be SWEPT UP and BURNED

simple and they attract the flies.
 Preparation of Solutions
 A formaldehyde solution of approximately the correct strength may be made by add ing 3 teaspoonfuls of the con- centrated formaldehyde solu- tion, commercially known as formalin, to a pint of water. Similarly, the proper concen- tration of sodium salicylate may be obtained by dissolving 3 teaspoonfuls of the pure chemical Ca powder) to a pint of water.
 Containers for Solutions
 An ordinary, thin-walled drinking glass is filled or parti- ally filled with the solution. A saucer or small plate, in which is placed a piece of WHITE plotting paper cut the size of the dish, is put bottom up over the glass. The whole is then quickly inverted, match placed under the edge of the glass, and the container is ready for use. As the solution dries out of the saucer the hq- uid seal at the edge of the glass is broken and more liquid flows into the lower receptacle. Thus the paper is always kept moist.
 Other Simple Preventives
 Any odor pleasing to man is offensive to the fly and vice versa, and will drive them

KILL FLIES, SAVE LIVES

Kill at once every fly you can find and burn it's body.
 Observers say that there are many reasons to believe there will be more flies this season than for a number of years.
 The killing of just one fly NOW means there will be bill lions and trillions less next summer.
 Clean up your own premises; see and insist that your neigh bors do likewise.
 Especially clean "out-of-the- way-places," and every nook and cranny.
 Flies will not go where there is nothing to eat, and their principal diet is too filthy to mention.
 The Fly is the Tie That Binds
 The Unhealthy to the Healthy
 The fly has no equal as a germ "carrier"; as many as five hundred million germs have been found in and on the body of a single fly.
 It is definitely known that the fly is the Carrier" of the germ of typhoid fever; it is widely believed that it is also the "car- rier" of other diseases, includ- ing possibly infantile paralysis. The very presence of a fly is signal and notification that a housekeeper is uncleanly and inefficient.
 Do not wait until the insects begin to poster; anticipate the annoyance.
 April, May and June are the best months to conduct an anti fly campaign.
 The farming and suburban districts provide ideal breeding places, and the new born flies do not remain at their birth place but migrate, using rail roads and other means of trans portation, to towns and cities.
 Kill flies and save lives!
 Receipes for Killing Flies
 The United States Govern ment makes the following sug- gestion for the destruction of house flies: Formaldehyde and sodium salicylate are the two best fly poisons. Both are su- perior to arsenic. They have their advantages for household use. They are not poison to children; they are convenient

Italian Cabinet Resigns

Premier Boselli.
The announcement was made after
the government had been defeated in

An interesting feature of the defeat
Of the ministry was the applause with
which the Chamber received the

WASHINGTON, Oct. ga general
investigation into the retail and whole
sale prices of coal throughout the coun-
try appeared to be in prospect tonight
In a minor wey, investigation of the
prices which consumers assert they
have been compelled to pay already
has been started by the Department OF
Justice in various sections of the East
and Middle West, both as to anthra-
cite and bituminous coal.
Instructions have been sent to
United States attorneys conducting
these local investigations to summon
witnesses, determine the truth of the
charges and, where justified, to bring
promptly proceedings under the GRIM
inal law against those believed to be
guilty.
These instructions were based upon
complaints received by the department
here TO the effect that the margin of
proiit allowed dealers by the govern
ment had been exceeded. Measured by
the great volume of complaints which
have been received by the fuel admin
stration, the instances under investi.'a-
tion by the Department OF Justice are
comparatively inconsequential. Hun

every section Of the country, il is.

administration.

ability in this line, notably that Of

81 wrote last April of the past mis-
takes OF the British censorship. Ii is
still acting unwisely in not telling the
public all the facts about losses of
ships by submarines. When it was an

marine losses that seventeen ships Of
over | 500 tons were sunk, no one had
any way of knowing whether the ships
were of / 800 tons or of 10000 tons.
Perhaps the average is 5000 tons. That
kind of deception applied to the people
is very dangerous.
