One hundred dollars for a single line
Is great prize. ! would like to sug-
gest few Limerick time "don'ts' for
tho general public.
'To policemen-If you see a man
rambling along muttering to himself
and apparently unconscious Of takes.
trolleys or income tax, don { arrest him.
! He is not going insane-it's just Lin
, erickitis.
| ITO married folks-lIf a wife or hus-
band should seem to the other to be pre- :
occupied or not talkative, don't think
that it is the proverbial chip on the
shoulder. No, it's just another case of
Limerickitis and both are probably
thinking Of what they are going to buy
the other with the 500.
ITO lovers-if he forgets to call as
usual. don't accuse him Of being un-
faithful. for he's probably up in his
little hall bedroom doping out last line
to Limerick which will enable him to
buy the ring. And If she doesn't feed
you two thirds of the box of candy you
brought her or il she forgets to tell you
how: big and handsome you are, don {
mentally accuse her Of being gone
on some film star. That faraway look
is a sure sign that she's gone a-glim-
merin' In the Limerick 'colyum' and
will spend the 500 she may win for
nice scarf pin for you.
"To bosscs-1f you see a fellow in
your employ sitting at desk appar-
emily absorbed In some deep mental
lens, don't get excited over the idea
that you are going to have to put
through a large increase for him. No,
for in all probability it's just another
case Of Limerickitis.
.."And don't anybody forget to get the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER and take n
whirl nt the Limericks - the greatest
sport on earth"
Now, people, you see the spirit of one
Of your fellow limerickers. Let's all
get it in the blood and 60 to It'll!

HOUSE FLY MOST DANGEROUS
Clean Up All Manure Piles, Garbage
Accommodations and Other
Filthy Spots.

EntomolOgiStS say the progeny of a
single alternating fly in a single sea-
son would, if unchecked, be suffi-
cient to cover the surface of the earth
to depth of two feet or more. Moral,
"swat the early fly"
In Special Bulletin No. 4S, DR.. w. A.
Riley, chief of the division of en-
tomology, University of Minnesota, di-
vided the methods of combating the
house fly into those directed towards
determination by the prevention of
breeding and those serving as protec-
ton against the insect. AS flies are
born and reared in filth of all sorts,
the obvious thing to do is to clean up
all manure piles, garbage accumula-
tons and slop pools.
However much ones neighbors
may continue to breed flies for the
community, this does not render use
less the keeping of ones own prem
Uses free from such nuisances nor
does it excuse neglect" says Doctor
Riley.
AS the entire development from egg
to adult fly may be spanned in eight
or ten days and a new generation
started every II to IA days, it is plain
that every fly killed early means
heavy mortality among the possible
fly population.

Electric Prayer Wheels.

Motor-driven prayers have become
popular with the Buddhist priests of
Simla, the summer capital of India.
Formerly the limit of invention al
lowed lazy priests to tack pieces of
paper, on which were written the per-
petual prayers, onto great prayer
wheels. The power for turning these
wheels was supplied from the many
small mountain streams about the
capital. When a firm of British engi-
neers came with a proposal to divert
these little streams and merge them
into waterpower project, the priests
melted the people against them until
finally an item was included in the
franchise stating that electric motors
and power were to be supplied to
perpetually turn the prayer wheels

JAVELLE WATER USED
AS BLEACHING AGENT
Excellent for Removing Stains
From Linen and Cotton.
Obstinate BIemishes Made by Coffee
and Tea, Fruits or Ink Will Yield
to Application of This Use
full Liquid.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Javelle water, which can be made at
home, Is a good bleaching agent to use
in removing stains from white linen
and cotton when more simple methods
fail. Obstinate stains made by clear
coffee and tea, fruits, or Ink, for in
stance, will yield to an application of
this useful liquid.
Javelle water should be applied only
to uncolored cotton or linen materials,
because it bleaches colors and rots silk
or wool. In treating stains with ia
yelle water, stretch the stained portion
over a bowl filed with water and APP
ply the javelle water to the stain with
a medicine dropper. Do not allow the
iavelle water to remain in contact
with the stain for more than one min
ute. Apply oxalic-acid solution to neu-
tralize the javelle water, and rinse
by dipping the stain in the bowl of
water.
If allowed to remain too long in con-
tact with the fibers, javelle water rots
even linen and cotton materials, ana
it should, therefore, always be neutral
lied with oxalic acid and the fabric
rinsed thoroughly to remove all traces
of the chemical. For very persistent
stains the javelle water may have to
be applied several times, but should be
neutralized with oxalic-acid solution
after each application.
Prepare javelle water us follows:
Dissolve one pound of washing soda
in one quart of cold water. To this
solution add one pound of ordinary
bleaching powder Calcium hypochlo-
rite). Filter this liquid through a
piece of muslin t, remove the sedi-
ment. Keep the clear liquid in tight
stoppered bottles in dark place.
