COSTLY FOODS ARE
NOT ALWAYS BEST

The nutritive value Of an ar.
ticle Of food and its price sell
dom have any relation to each
other. An expensive cut of beef
is not necessarily any more sus-
tanning than a cheap one. 1t
usually tastes better or can be
cooked by easier methods. But
care in cooking and seasoning
will make inexpensive meats at
tractive and much better Than
costly ones poorly prepared.
With fruits and vegetables
the price is often determined
by the season. A vegetable out
Of season Is much more expen-
sive than one in season, but it
Is no more nutritive.

SWatting in Summer May Prevent
Abundant Reproduction Be-
fore Cold Weather.
IS vERITABLE "GERM.HUN''
Screening and Use Of Papers, Poisons
and Traps Are Good Only as Tenn
porary Expedients-Use Of
Formalin Is Favored.

Every fly that this year cantamin-
ates and destroys food or spreads ILL
ness is an enemy of America IN even
greater degree than in the past. As
fly hunter, alluding to the tendency
of the insect to spread disease. ex-
pressed it recently, the fly is verit-
able "Germ-Hun." Every fly de-
stroyed means contribution, be it
ever so slight, to the cause of Amer
lea efficient.
The best time to swat the fly. of
course, is early in the breeding season,
before the young ones have become
grandparents. Flies killed in the
spring prevent hordes later on. But
1t is a never-ending battle, and in
late July and early August vigilance
becomes more than ever necessary.
Work to kill flies even at this time
may prevent abundant reproduction
before cold weather. In fact, there is
no closed season in hunting flies. A
swat in any day of the year is a
meritOrious swat, and even a fly buzz
ing around window-pane in midwin-
ter should be regarded as legitimate
prey.
Controlling the Fly.
Careful screening of windows and
doors during the summer months does
not decrease the number of flies, but
mt least it lessons the danger Of con-
Elimination of food. This applies not
only to homes, but with equal force
10 stores, restaurants, bakeries, dali
ries. and every other place where food
is handled. Use of sticky fly papers
to destroy flies that have gained &C.
cess to houses also is well-known, and
fy-poison preparations are common.
Many of the commercial fly poisons
contain arsenic. and their use in the
household is attended by considerable
danger. especially to children. This
danger, according to specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. is lessened by the use of a weak
solution of formalin. An effective fly
poison is made by adding three tea
spoonfuls of the commercial formalin
to pint Of milk or water sweetened
with little brown sugar.
Flytraps may be used to advantage.
Their use has been advocated not only
because of immediate results, but be-
cause of the chances that the flies may
be caught before they lay their first
batch of eggs, thus reducing the num-
bers of future generations. Many
types of fly traps are on the market,
and as rule the larger ones are eff
tective. The United States department
of agriculture on request will send
directions for making flytraps, not only
for household use, but for catching
flies and destroying eggs around sta
bles and other breeding places.
Preventive Measures.
Fly papers, poisons and traps at
hest are only temporary expedients.
rhe most logical method Of abating
the fly nuisance Is the elimination or
treatment Of all breeding places. 1t
would appear. specialists say, from
what is known of the life history and
habits of the common house fly that
It is perfectly feasible for cities and
towns to reduce the numbers of these

ical questions, let the reader take his
atlas and consider the case of that
impregnable fastness, that great naval
station, that key to the Mediterranean,
Gibraltar. British boys are brought
up on Gibraltar and the Gibraltar idea.
To the British imagination Gibraltar
is almost as sacred a national symbol
as the lions in Trafalgar Square. Now
certainly find an inset map of this
valuable possession, colored bright
red. The inset map will have attached
to it small scale of miles. From
that he will be able to satisfy himself
that there is not an inch of the rock
anywhere that is not within five miles
or less Of Spanish land, and that there
is rather more than semi-circle of
hills round the rock within a range
Of seven or eight miles. That is much
less than the range of 16-inch gun.
In other words, the Spaniards are in
a position to knock Gibraltar to bits
whenever they want to do so, or to |
smash and sink any ships in its har-
Dor. They can hit it on every side.
Consider, moreover, that there are
ong sweeps of coast north, south and
vest of the rock, from which torpedoes
,ould be discharged at any ship that
approached. Inquire further where
IN the rock an airplane can land. And
aving ascertained these things things,
lsk yourself what is the present value

sink fishing boats and murder the fish
ermen for the sake of imposing Obedi-
ence. 1t is reasonably suspected that
fishermen aid submarines in many
ways. They warn them of the ap-
proach of war vessels and mystery
ships and give them valuable infOrma-
ton about sailings and courses of con-
voys. Possibly If the allies cOmpen-
stated fishermen as well as the COM

tory results would follow.
Of course for obvious reasons full
particulars about the activity of sub
marines i'm the Mediterranean cannot
be divulged. There have been instan-
ces of U-bOatS entering territorial wa
tiers at night and exchanging signals
with people on shore. Until recently
enemy citizens were allowed to re-

serted villages on the coast, so that all
they needed to communicate with SUBJ
marines was light. Even now Aus
