FLIES THAT COME IN THE SPRING
ARE NEW ONES

Washington-The house flies that
you see in early spring are not the
flies of the preceding autumn. They
are the offspring, not the survivors of
those that sought warm refuge in
the fall. The flies that appear in the
spring quickly becomes reproductive
and by early summer the baby fly of
few weeks past will have become a
patriarch with millions of great-great-
grandchildren. Therefore, swat early.
These facts are presented by INIT
ed States Department Of AgricLlta:r
scientist. His findings. based on lor :
experiments, support the popular be
lief that swat" in the spring save 2
a lot of them later on. A fly tho
oughly swatted when he is young an
comparatively innocent not only will
be unable to carry disease, but vii
not have very many children

FORD CAR BRINGS
A SHOWER BATH
EVERY AFTERNOON
Babies Grow Winter as Doctor and
Nurse Serve Daily Baths From :
Door to Door.

Good morning. We have come to
give the children their BATH" this, of
course, said In good French. Then
from Off the motor car slides a porta.
BILE shower bath, carried into the house
by doctor and nurse.
For the next half hour that little
cottage boasts Of bathroom in active
service, for when the water is heated
the blessing Of a warm, clean shower
pumped by the doctor falls on the head
Of Young France, while the nurse
scrubs religlously and the darkening
water bears witness of whittier, clean
err child.
And as you might well imagine, the
Riddles like It. except the last cold
dash that the doctor slyly engineers
by quickly transferring the supply
pipe into bucket of cold water-for
hyglenic effect.
And what a blessing 1t is to these
meek, tortured people, who for months
have been without all Of life's COM
forts and most Of life's necessities. to
be ministered to in this fashion
1t is perhaps understandable to
them that "les Americans" out of
sheer pity might offer them that mea-
ger thing that civilization calls "char-
ity." But to be clothed, fed, sheltered
and cheered as they have been by our
Red Cross is more than they can I'M
derstand.
For they have seen great miracle
grow out of the darkest pit Of human
experience. They have seen bright
light out of which has stepped the
ministerlng angel who has taught them
to smile again. They are no longer
sick. They are no longer cold nor hun
CRY, and now, wonder Of wonders, this
same good friend has contrived in
some magic way-within the sound of
the guns--tO give them-baths.

WOMEN URGED n OHELP THEIR
SISTERS ON THE FARMS

washington - We have not YET
reached the point where II Is neces.
sary for the women generally TO UNI
dertake heavy york on the farms, but
they can render important service In
helping to produce big food crops this
year, especially In connection with the
lighter farm tasks. This was told by
Clarence 0usley, ssIstnnt Secretary OF
Agriculture, In an address to the Wo-
mems Committee OF the Council OF Ma
tIonal Defense, meeting in Washing

II can imagine no iinear thing said
Mn ousley, "for a city woman to do
In this war emergency than to 20 ia
the farm for the harvest or for some
other period Of labor strain 10 help
her country sister bear the burdens OF
kitchen and farm. +.
There are thousands Of men In the
towns and cities doing things that wo-
men can do as. we'll. There are men
cooks, men walters, men clerks, men
bookkeepers, whose places might well
be filled by women.

the great body of our men permit our
women to be drafted for the hard
tasks OF agriculture until we have
sent every able-bodied creature In
breechs to the trenches or driven him
TO the fields. hut women are to he en-
couraged, so far as their physical con-
dition will permit or the circum-
stances surrounding them will advise,
to engage in the lighter tasks of tho
farm, particularly in dairy work, in
vegetable cultivation and in fruit har-
vesting."
Mr.. Ousley praised the services Ct
the LOO women home demonstration
agents who are spreading the teach
ings of the Department of Agriculture
and the cooperating State colleges,
and paid tribute to the six or seven
millions of farmers wives who ARE
doing mans share Of agricultural
production and conservation" .

ring to the farmers wives, "hoeing in
the hot sun while their babies lay in
the shade of nearby trees. They are
truly, and to the limit of their
strength and the marvellous patience,
the helpmeets of their husbands"
