SWAT TIME is HERE.

No, we don't mean baseball time,
but fly time. Every person and every
community should maintain an atti-

is crime wave Of serious proportions,
there is no doubt. And capital punish

for a criminal responsible for as many
deaths as is the fly.
Particularly important is 1t that the
fly be kept out Of the kitchen and
the dining room. II one cannot afford
screens for the entire house, be sure
to screen these two rooms. advises the
Public Health League Of Washington;
for the food attracts the fly and 1t is
on the food that he prefers to deposit
his filth and disease germs.
An estimate Of the rapidity with
which flies increase sounds like les

told that fly may deposit as many as
eight patches of from 40 to $50 eggs
per week. It is. therefore, of the ut
most Importance to eliminate all
breeding places, keep the garbage can
tightly covered, the grounds clean and
all refuse cleared away.
II there are flies buzzing around
your grocery and meat shops, you may
feel sure that the store is not clean.
And above all, keep the fly away
from the baby.
A fly in the house is a sign of care
less housekeeping. Let us keep the

steadily. Let US poison, starve and
swat the fly.

An intensive round-up of all sus- picious characters, any individual who has had a past record being in- cluded in the drag net toll, was started by the detective bureau at o'clock this morning when three young men and two girls were arr rested. Before noon hour had ap- preached the total was twelve, but the balance of the men arrested were questioned and allowed to go free.
 It was stated that there has been an unusually large number of hold ups, burglaries and breaks in the past month. The police have been unable to solve many of these crimes, as it is exceedingly difficult to get suspects who have had ample time to disappear and in many cases those robbed are hesitant about identifying the suspects as they are afraid of future consequences.
 This morning, the big police car, containing Detectives Joseph Stew ems, William Pollard, William Foley, Edward McElligott and John Leary, swung out of the station and ap- preached the house located at 21O South Elm street. As a result of the raid. breach of the peace charges were lodged against John Brown, "A, of 21O South Elm street; Amerigo Distefano, 23, 75 Pleasant street, Dorothy Brown, 23, 28 North Main street; Frank Smith, 2S, 210 South Elm street and Ethel Macdonald,

To End aCOugh
 In a Hurry, Mix
 This at Home

To end stubborn cough quickly, 1t is important to soothe and heal the in- famed membranes, get rid of the germs and also to aid the system inwardly to help throw off the trouble.
 For these purposes, here is home made medicine, far better than anything you could buy at times the cost. From any druggist, get 21a ounces of Pinex. Pour this into 8 pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to fill up the pint. This takes but a moment, and makes remedy so effective that you will never do with out, once you have used it. Keeps per fectly, and children like it.
 This simple remedy does three neces- sary things. First, it loosens the germ laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This explains why it brings such quick relief, even in the obstinate bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway Pine, con taining the active agent of creosote, in . refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles.
 Do not accept substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

AVOID UGLY PIMPLES

Does pimply face embarrass |you? Get package of Dr Edwards Olive Tablets. The skin should be- gin to clear after you have taken the tablets few nights, if you are
 like thousands of others. Help cleanse the blood, bowels and liver with Dr Edwards Olive Tablets, the successful substitute for calomel; there's no sickness or pain after taking them.
 Dr Edwards Olive Tablets do that
 which calomel does, and just as ef- fectively, but their action is gentle
 and safe instead of severe and irri- tating. n Thousands who take Olive Tab
 lets are never cursed with a "dark brown taste," a bad breath, dull,
 listless, mo good" feeling, constipa- tion, torpid liver, bad disposition, pimply face.
 Olive Tablets are a purely vege-
 table compound; known by their olive color.
 Dr Edwards spent years among patients afflicted with liver and
 bowel complaints and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result.

McGrath, at the request of the state, continued the cases until Saturday. Police are checking up attempting to get evil dence to be used in these cases. It is thought they are trying to obtain evidence to show that there are nu- merous hide-aways for bands of thieves who are responsible for the breaks in Waterbury. Uniformed police did not take part in the roundup. Detectives came in all morning accompanied by one or two individuals who at one time had been in the hands of the law, or sus- poets in cases.
 They were grilled and if they fur nished good alibis were allowed to go free.
 It was quite. evident that there is a planned move on the part of the police to "clean-up' the town as far as these stick-up men and high waymen are concerned.
