The Puppies Were About Grown Up.

and so has my mistress. Now she is
so pleased that you won prizes that she
will not think of giving you away"
And though the puppies were almost
grown-up they nestled close to their
mother as though they were very young
and said, "We're happy that there are
dog shows, mother, If it means we will
not leave you" And they barked their
joyl
Crowds stopped to look at them and
they copied their mother and stood
and looked as she did. And when their
mother heard the people say how fine
she was they noticed she wagged her
tail, so they did the very same thing
when people admired them
When some of the dogs snarled and
were cross the Irish settlers looked at
their mother as if to say,
"People won't want to look at them
If they're cross"
But their mother answered, you
can't always blame them, my denrs, for
every dog hasn't the kind mistress that
we have! And If dog is cross, very,
very often it is the fault of the master
or mistress" So the puppies who were
almost grown-up barked more joyously
than ever when their mistress came
back to them

4sLAY AND BURN"
Right Now Is Time to Begin the
Warfare Against Deadly and
Filthy House Fly.
Presence OF the Pests Is Evidence That
Housekeeper Does Not Measure
Up to Proper Standards Of
Cleanliness and Efficiency
--Ged Rid of Them!

The Merchants Association of New
York is sending broadcast a bulletin
designed to encourage the fight against
the dangerous and filthy house fly. The
propaganda is a commendable one
and we are glad to give 1t space in
these columns.
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.
The killing of just one fly NOW
means there will be billions and tril-
lions less next summer.
Clean up your own premises; see
and insist that your neighbors do like
wise.
Especially clean "out-of-the-way-
places" and every nook and Granny.
Flies will not go where there is
nothing to eat, and their principal diet
Is too filthy to mention.
The fly has no equal as a germ
Carrier" as many as 500,000,000
germs have been found In and on the
body of single fly.
1t is definitely known that the fly
Is the carrier" of the germs of ty-
phoid fever; it Is widely believed that
1t is also the carrier of other dis
eases, including possibly infantile pa
ralysis.
The very presence Of fly Is a sig
nal and notification that a house
keeper Is uncleanly and inefficient.
Do not wait until the insects begin
70 poster; anticipate the annoyance.
April, May and June are the Lest
months to conduct an anti-fly cam.
paign.
The farming and suburban districts
provide ideal breeding places and the
newborn flies do not remain at their
birthplace, but migrate, using rail-
roads and other means of transporta-
ton to towns and cities.
XIII flies and save lives
Any odor pleasing to man is often
sive to the fly and vice versa and will
drive them away.

combined with satin, taffeta, georgette
crepe and horse hair will give oppor-
tunities to match all kinds of gowns.
Toques and close-fit turbans will be
very popular.
College and school girls will look
very pretty indeed with these new
hats. We shall add to it the short,
cute, little harem veil on some, while
on others we will put the chin strap,
which gives the wearer very short
and youthful appearance.

OF water, put 1t in common glass
atomizer and spray 1t around the
rooms where flies are. In the dining
room spray it lavishly, even on the
table linen. The odor Is very disa.
greeable 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 a French scientist flies
have intense hatred for the color blue.
Rooms decorated in blue will help to
keep out the flies.

cream, one Of ground black pepper
and one of brown sugar. This mix.
ture is poisonous to the flies. Put In q
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.
Borax is especially valuable around
farms and out of doors. One pound
Of borax to twelve bushels of manure
will be found desirable as a poison
without injuring its manlrial quail
ties or farm stock. Scatter the borax
over the manure and sprinkle with
water.

crude carbolic acid, or any kind of dis
infectant may be used in vaults.

NEW PARIS STYLES IN HATS
New York MllIlners Declare American

They looked very much like their
mother only much, much smaller.
They were tiny and they cared more
about sleep than anything else in the
world.
Adventures might be all right later
on, but for the present sleep was the
most glorious thing. They would fall
over each other and any way they fell
they would go sound asleep. Such
strange positions as they got into when
they slept, but as long as it did not
bother them the mother let them alone

herself as she looked at them. When
they nestled very close to her she look

Then she would look out of the win
dow again and once more down at her
puppies and she would think of the dog
shows where they would win prizes,
for they were perfect, very perfect and
they We're her own puppies
But they seemed so safe and sleepy
now and she hated to think ahead of
ell the troubles that might come to
them. They might be sold to people
who didn't love and understand ami
mails, but she didn't think Of that long,
for she knew her mistress would be
very, very careful-she loved the pup
pies too.
After time the puppies were almost
grown up and In a little while after
there was great excitement. The pup
pies did not understand 1t, but the
mother did. She had been to many
a dog show and how many prizes she
had won! She could never count them
for she really couldn't be bothered with
adding and such things-she wanted
to watch her beautiful grown-up pup
pies For she could hardly believe
that they were no longer babies.
"We're going to the show" she whis-
pered to them, that is what all the
excitement'means. We're going to win
ribbons and prizes, my beautiful ones,
and our mistress will be so happy and
glad"
The next day they went-the whole

The judges were looking at all the
dogs. "This Irish setter family beats

Separate Skirts.

Many novelty skirts are being taken,
as well as the staple numbers, says
the Drygoods Economist. Silks and
satlns are having considerable
vogue, and there is a good demand
for stripes, checks and plaids In these
fabrics.
Skirts of foulard and Of crepe de
chine are favored to some extent The
medium priced skirt continues to be
found in poplins, serges, gabardlnes
and tricotines. Checked and striped
worsteds and woolens are selling
readily.

Entire Gowns of Jet.
The house Of Callot has thrown Its
influence into many channels, and the
gowns of its making, which arrived In
this country later than all the others,
increase the respect we must pay to
jet. The woman who has cherished
frock of jet and wondered If the
style would ever return in order that
she might revive 1t into something
modern, may go to the work with en-
thusiasm.

one designer who introduces entire
gowns of 1t. These are coat-of-mail
