WINTER FLY CAMPAIGN ON
Director Furbush Tells of Plans to
Suppress Breeding

4 campaign to exterminatc flies
opens today in Pennsylvania under the
direction Of health officials Special
effort will be made to clean up all
places where flies are likely to remain
through the winter, according to Di-
rector of Public Health Furbush, OF this
city.
1T may seem rather strange to the
average person to speak about flies at
this time Of the year. said the direc-
tor, because the approach OF cool
weather is usually attended with rapid
decrease in their number, but expert
ence has taught us that the most ef-
fective way to deal with the fly nuis-
anGe is to render the breeding places
of flies unsuitable for their develop
ment during the stage OF hibernatiOn.
Files breed in filth. The o-opera-
ton Of every one is asked to rid the
city Of these breeding and hibernalIOu
places. The owner of every stable
should clean out his manue bins now
and soak the underlying ground with
borax solution tone pound of borax to
three gallons of water). That will de-
stroy the pupae in the ground. The
stables should be thoroughly cleaned
and the floors spriukled with borax
solution.
''In the home all rubbish and refuse
should be removed from the back yards.
| Outside toilets and cellars should be
whitewashed and thoroughly cleaned.
"By eliminating the alternating
places Of the fly In October. we will be
assured of smaller fly population next
spring."

WiDENER TENANTS OUT
Many Offices for Rent as Result Of
Increase In Rates

"Offices to Rent This sign will
appear outside the Widener building
today for the first time in about three
and half years.
On October ] about ninety per cent
of the tenants were compelled to nav
rent increases ranging from eighty per
cent to 300 per cent. 1t is estimated
that $50 tenants either vacated the
building or took smaller offices. Many
others, including manicurcs, masseurs
and young professional men. are rerain-
ing their present quarters in the hone of
realizing enough to pay the advances.
The present advance is the second
in two years. Last October ! the rents
were hoisted about twenty five per cent,
but there was little grumbling among
the tenants. When the present advance
was levied there were shouts OF alsap-
proval. Some of the tenants, including
representatives Of large corporarIons,
took up the case with Joseph Il. Wide
ner. The invariable answer was '"The
Widener Building has been paying only
about two per cent. 1t must pay six
per cent"
Three or four corporations which
have large suites are not affected by the
increase owing to their holding long
leases.
