Swat the Fly Now
By ROY l.. SMART.

{. SMART.
 poison, are simple to handle and solu- tions of them attract flies.
 Three teaspoonfuls of concentrated for maldehyde solution to a pint of water or three teaspoonfuls sodium salicylate to pint of water makes the proper mix ture.
 HOW TO DO IT
 The following is suggested as a good way to provide container: Partially fill glass with the solution. Cut a piece of white blotter paper the size of a plate Upturn the glass on the paper, putting the paper on the plate. The flies will be attracted and the Htotter paper will be kept moist with the liquid.
 Borax, one pound being used to IF bush- els of manure, is good for out-of-doors purposes Whenever flies are killed there bodies should be burned. In accumula- tions of filth and in secluded places in the city flies abound.
 Clean up your premises. Eradicate all places that would furnish breeding places for the prolific insect. Flies breed in refuse from stables, in ashes, COW and foul refuse, cesspools, straw and textile fabrics such as woolen garments mush- roofhs, decaying vegetables, garbage, bad meat. rotting grain, decaying fruit and their skins and in spittoons
 HOUSEWIFE CARELESS
 The continued presence of flies in the home is a positive index that the house. wife is careless and uncleanly in the management of the household. Every crack and crevice should be explored for fly eggs and dusted or sprinkled with fly killer
 Never patronize a restaurant, grocery store or butcher shop where flies are per mitted to walk about on the food. In such places he plants disease germs or your bread He buries them in your butter He trails them over your sugar He sips your coffee and swims in your milk.
 The mother fly lays 150 eggs at a time and deposits six patches Tn her life time of five weeks Her descendants number many million in the course of three months
