Fresh from her triumphant aerial
exploits throughout the country in the
interests of enlistment campaigns and
the sale of Liberty Bonds, Ruth Law,
Americas foremost woman aeronaut,
will appear at the Michigan State Fair
az Detroit August 81, for series of
daring and spectacular exhibition
flights. Miss Law has achieved an
enviable distinction as a woman flyer.
Soon after the American aero corps
began operations on the French fight
ing front, she was on the scene and
made several daring ascensions over
the battle lines.
In this country she has been honor
ed because Of her patriotic efforts In
flying to promote interest in the big
national loan and again In arousing
young men TO enlist in the armed
forces of the United States AS a
result of her activities the U. 8. army
has recognized her efforts and con
ferred the privilege on her of wear
ing the uniform of the u, 8. Aero
Corps. She is the only woman In the
country so priviledged and is highly
proud of the distinction.

a man of him and they were eager to
become his friend. And they did.
Mike was "kidded" by some of his old
comrades, but after administering a
few well placed blows, they left him
alone. He asked them to enlist, but
they only laughed at him. He also
tried to get Percy and his chums to
enlist, but they, too, refused. Percy
fearing that CONSUMPTION would soon
take the place of the volunteer sys-
tenn, proposed to no less than six Of
the town girls, asking them to marry
him at once, but they realizing that
he only desired to get married to
avoid being among the first called to
serve his country, refused him. Three
months previous, anyone of the six
girls would have accepted him.
The volunteer system failed. The
CONSUMPTION bill was passed and
Percy, together with several of his
comrades, were among the first taken.
Likewise many of Mikes former
comrades. And the military train
ing made men of them all.
Moral-Universa military train
ing not only provides an adequate
protection for the wealthiest nation
ON earth, but is teaches discipline Of
the proper sort. 1t makes men of the
worst of them and men of the spoilt
of them.

ODen Season For
Flies, Start To
Swat Them Now

A bulletin on flies has been issued
this month by the Merchants Asso-
citation of the City of New York. The
following extracts therefrom may be
OF some service to people in this COM
munity:
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.
1t is definitely known that the fly
is the Carrier" of the germs of
typhoid fever; it is widely believed
that it is also the Carrier" of other
diseases, including possibly infantile
paralysis.
April, May and June are the best
paign.
Kill flies and save lives!
Kill at once every fly you can find
and burn his body.
Mix together one tablespoonful of
cream, one of ground black pepper
and one of brown sugar. This mix
ture is poisonous 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.
One pound of borax to twelve
bushels of manure will be found de-
sirable as poison without injuring
it's manurial qualities or farm stock.
Scatter the borax over the manure
and sprinkle with water.
Flies will not go where there is
nothing to eat, and their principal
diet is too filthy to mention.
From my own observations, the
common house fly does not breed to
any extent in dry manure or dirt, and
| have been unable to find fly larva
in such a medium. Moisture seems
to be essential to their existence.
1t is well known that flies prefer
horse manure in which to breed The
routine use of borax is commended
to those who use manure as ferti-
lizer for gardens and lawns.
Last. summer, in the best neigh
borhoods of New York City, flies
were in numbers on bakers rolls,
ETC., in the shops; on fruit, on the
fruit stands; and everywhere through
out the city, pushcart men exposed
fruit and candy to the fly. I appeal
to the merchants in this community
to keep the food free from flies. The
work of the fly in connection with
the diarrheal diseases of small chill
dren is well known to medical men
at least, and it is significant that the
epidemic of infantile paralysis last
year did not stop until the fly season
ended, and it is true that no effective
measures were taken by the city
authorities to keep food from the
flies. The same is true with regard
to communities on this side of the
river.
