OF FIashless And
Smokeless Type

A flashless, smokeless and non

development of the army ordance
department, it was learned today.
The new powder may be ex-
posed indefinitely to any atmos-
phere, however greatly saturated
with moisture, without effect up

tests it was completely submerged

DESCRIPTION.
The ordnance department first
undertook its development for
the 70 nm. guns, but it has now
been modified to include charges
for heavy artillery, while it is
also adaptable to small arms,
such as the rifle and machine
gun. Eventually, it is said, the
new powder will replace entirely
that now used in all arms.

How In the wide world did the idea ever start
that we should be complacent when we had
sUufted the fly-crushed hirn-and perhaps
left his germ-reehing remains hanging some
where? Did it ever occur to you that the fly
not only carries disease germs on its feet but
may have on and in its body as many as
thirty million bacteria?
Think of your home getting it's ventilation
through screened doors and windows on which
billions of germs may have been spread with
that supposedly splendid device, the fly swatter!
Flies have been implicated in the spreading of
infante paralysis, typhoid, scarletfever measles
smallpox, erysipelas, anthrax, and even tubercu-
losis!
Don't swat the fly. Don't hare flies. On your
own premises prevent the breeding of flies
destroy their eggs. And those that get into
your house, kill Clearly. Do you ask hoU?
With Prevented, the wonderful insecticide that
is sprayed.
You can't imagine anything more simple to use
than Prevented. Close up tightly one room at
a time and then spray well. That's all there is
to it. In five short minutes every fly will be
dead-not swatted, not mangled or smeared,
but killed cleanly-and the carcasses, with all
their disease-carrying possibilities, can be swept
out of the house.
And don't forget to literally spray with Preventol
any nearby places where flies may breed
garbage pals, refuse heaps, and dark corners
of stables and buildings. A single fly in
six weeks time can be responsible for several
hundred pounds of flies, and around your gar
bage pail there may be thousands of fly eggs.

These, the Prevented spray will instantly
destroy. Here is the real way to begin Kidding
your premises of flies. Preventol, too, is an
efficient deodorant.
Prevented is general insecticide
Kills moths and brings bugs from their hiding
places.
Sprayed into cracks and crevices Prevented
brings cockroaches and bed bugs out into the open
where another shot instantly finishes them. And
when sprayed in your closets twice a month
Prevented kills moths and destroys their eggs.
Prevented will not stain or harm wall paper,
woodwork or the most delicate fabrics. In fact,
Prevented is harmless to all except insects.
Insects have peculiar breathing apparatus and
in n1echanicalwayP Prevented suffocates them.
Mosquito-free, Fly-free vacations!
Imagine what Preventol will mean to you at the
summer home or camp! Take Prevented with
you and before you go have your rugs, draperies'
and closets sprayed well with Prevented to kill
and keep out the moths.
Prevented, the er-insecticide, has been
needed for centuries. The thought of modern
homes being infested even occasionally with
disease-carrying scavengers, and parasites and
destructive moths, is preposterous.
The Prevented combination package (pint can
and sprayer) is now selling at the special price
OF $500. Get one of your druggist today.

larger sizes for hotels, restaurants and institu-
