MAKE WAR ON
THE HOUSE FLY
They are Dangerous. Get Rid of Them
by Using Fly Rid

Boards of Health say we must get
rid of flies. The FLY is the filthiest
pest we have. If one is in the house
il is sure to find its way to the kitchen
and dining room. 1t never stops TIL
it finds our food. Then, unconscious
ly, we are apt to take the vilest poison
into our mouths and before we know it
develop some dreadful disease, started
by that nasty fly, from no telling
where. AN EASY WAY HAS BEEN
FOUND TO GET RID OF FLIES.
Simply close the doors and windows
and fan a small quantity of FLY
RID" a light powder, through the
room. The FLY RID sticks to the
flies and as they are such ravenous
little gluttons they will soon swallow
enough to kill them, when they will
drop to the floor. where they can be
swept up and burned. Repeat this
few times and be rid of the flies and
thus protect the health of the family
FLY RID" can be bought at any drug
store in 10 and 25 cent packages. Sim
pie directions on each package. FLY
RID" is safe for humans to handle but
death to flies. Try it. Also manufac

the Arkansas constitution vested such
authority exclusively in the Legislature.
The legislature last January ratified the

II is always interesting and some
times instructive TO see ourselves as
others see us. In London during the
war this sign appeared in public places:
Save Coal. The American Army Needs
Coal It took more coal to warm the
American army than any other, because
Americans use more heat than any
other. As we were urged to eat other
grains in order that the allies might
have wheat, which was the grain they
were most accustomed to. so the allies
were urged 10 save coal because our
boys required so much of it. AS a mat
ter of fact. coal for transportation pur-
poses in Europe is now in control of
the United States Ships wishing TO
cross the Atlantic can obtain coal for
the trip by taking a few thousands of
American troops home.

Your Luncheon Table.

Whatever your stand on the mooted
question as to whether or not an all
covering ,damask tablecloth were not

you must admit now that there is de-
cided advantage in any scheme that
makes it possible for you to lengthen
the life Of your fine heavy linen table,
cloths. For linen is still high and
there is reason to question whether
ever in our generation there will be
an opportunity for us to secure the
fine, snowy-white table linen that we
did in ante-bellum days So. If you
have ane tablecloths you would like
to save them. At least. you want
enough SO that your dinner table can
be set forth in this conventional
manner.
II you use luncheon doilies there is
the question of size. Some OF them
seem absurdly small. while others are
used without tumbler or bread plate
dolly or both. Needless to say, the
tumbler dolly for the bread and but
ter plate should go to the left, above
the forks. You should invest in some
thin asbestos and cut out disks Of
this to place under the doilies on
which you wish to stand hot dishes
Sometimes 1t is even expedient to
have disks for each plate SO that the
plates, II warm, will not mar the sur
face of the table.
Often 1t seems dificult to make use
Of a luncheon cloth which. when
placed diagonally on a square or
oblonE table Is adequate If you are
going to set the table for but four,
as each corner provides cover for
one. What then if you have others?
This can be arranged by having
place doiIies laid for the additional
places. If you wish to have two
places at a side the point of the lunch
cloth at the two sides need be used
| for a place; If you wish to serve three
on a side, then the point of the lunch
cloth may be used for one place and
the doilies placed at either side will
answer for. the others. These addl-
| tional doilies need not match. but it
is well to have them of the same
sort of work-that is, if the lunch
cloth is madeira they should be a
madeira Of about the same quality.
