One Fly Killed Now Will Prevent
Millions Later.

Homes, stores, markets, bakeries,
restaurants, hotels, and all other food
handling places should be effectively
screened. Use traps and swatters for
catching and killing the early flies.
Flies breed in human filth, in stable
manure, in garbage, and in all kinds
of rotten material affording warmth
and moisture.
Observe "Clean-up" week. See that
all filth and rubbish is removed and
destroyed on your premises and IN
your community. Plant flowers and
shrubbery. Develop some sort OF
civic organization in the towns and
cities to stimulate civic pride and en-
force civic cleanliness. Make your
premises and your town the cleanest'
the healthiest, and most attractive IN
the community and in the State.

THE FLY SEASON.

The fly season is near. Millions of
house flies will hatch out every day
and carry diseases laden filth to your
food and drink unless individuals and
communities adopt measures to de-
stroy and to prevent their breeding
The time to do this is now, because
a few flies in early spring will afford
offspring of millions Of flies later.
The rate of fly breeding is almost
unthinkable. 1t has been shown that
descendants of a single fly will reach
the enormous total of 800 pounds in
weight in forty days, provided one
half of them live and continue breed

SENATOR PLEADS
 FOR WOUNDED
ROBINSON OF ARKANSAS URGES BETTER CARE FOR INCAPACI-
 HATED VETERANS.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Early relief for disabled soldiers and sailors who have been suffering for lack of ade- quate hospital facilities was promised in the Senate today.
 Senator Shoot of Utah announced that the Senate Appropria tions Con- mittee would recommend an appropria- ton of SIP, ,50O,0 for the construction of five new hospitals and an additional $50OO,OO0 for the improvement and en- largement of hospitals already estab- lished.
 The senator made tris statement af- ocrat, had introduced an amendment carrying $30,OOO,OOO for hospital pur- poses Senator Shoot declared that the Public Health Service would not be able to use $3OOO0,OOO this year and said there was no reason for appropri- ating more money than could be ap- propriately spent.
 Senator Ashurst of Arizona, demo erat, vigorously opposed the location of one of the proposed new hospitals in the Great Lakes region, as proposed in the Langley bill.
 Senator Robinson scored the War Department for refusing to turn over certain military posts to the Public Health Service to provide hospital fa- cilities for sick and disabled soldiers.
 Dealing specifically with Fort Logan H. Roote in his own state, Senator Rob- inson said that the secretary of war had declined to permit this fort to be used temporarily to accommodate sick and suffering soldiers, giving as one of the reasons that the officers quar- ters at Fort Roots were neede for the use of officers and it would require considerable remodeling in order to adapt them to hospital uses. At the same time Senator Robinson said that Camp Pike, which was close at hand war, was now almost unoccupied. a with their officers at the time of the and which had acco'noda ted 70,000 men force of from 5000 to 1000 men ping established there He conteGed t was utterly absurd and indefensible to re- fuse the use of Fort Roots on the plea given by the secretary whene there were any number of unused buildings lying idle at Camp Pike-Gazette.
