FIGHTING THE Fly.

II Is everybody's duty to fight the
fly. He is our deadly enemy and must
be exterminated.
In fighting any danger, IT is intelli-
gent 70 study that danger. So let us
think, for a moment, OF the habits OF
the Fly; What does he likeY Does he
light on tho clean clover, like the honey
bee, or find his meal deep in tho bios
som of some flower? On the contrary,
instead of preferring clean, sweet places,
he is found in great numbers in filthy
spots. And from these ploces--from
the garbage can, the manure heap, de
caying vegetstion--he comes TO our
kitchens and tires TO get IN, attrncted
by tho warmth and the smell Of food. j.
Flies carry germs upon their legs and
bodies, and perhaps the one Tint is now
at our back screen door has recently
been in the sick room Of typhoid pa
tient. Thus, they spread disease from
house 10 house.
We should all work together TO stamp
them out We should not only keep
them from entering our homes, but
should kill all Of them that we can
both indoors and out--and should
clean up dirty places where flies in
crease
Our grsndmothers used 10 drive out
the flies" But today we realize that II
we merely drive them out, they will
wait around outside our doors and win
dows for the chance to enter again.
So killing them is tho only course 70
take. Here are various methods OF
catching and killing them:
Sticky Fly Paper. This is not very
pleasant way Of catching them, but !,
| is successful. A few pieces Of this
sticky paper should be hung ont oi
doors, near the kitchen, ss we'll as in
doors Of you happen TO drop IT up
side-down, little Kerosene will dis.
solve the sticky substance and enabl'
you to removolthe paper from whateve
it has fallen on
A Good Fly Trap: Fill q tumble
two-thirds full Of soopy water Sprea'
q slice of bread with molasses and GU
round hole in the middle Of il Plnc
this bread on top OF the tumbler 0
soapy water, with .he .molasscs-sid
down, and the trap is finished. Tn
flies will smell the molasses and craw
down through the hole 70 get it--bu
they are not bright enough TO craw
back through the hole 10 get out, AM
so they fall into the soapy water and die
A Night Method Of Catching Flies
We all know how flies settle on tn
kitchen ceiling for Tho night. This
