.fr WHY WE SHOULD MAKE * I
mfr WAK ON THE FLY. *
mfr .fr .fr mfr ?fr mfr .-fr .fr .fr mfr mfr mfr
Just how lon? the little, familiar
house Hy has been among us we are
not told, nor does it concern us here
to know from whence he caine. For
aught we know he may be one of the
offsprings of the many plagues visit
ed upon Pharaoh in that long ago
when plagues and pests and other .
nuisances were multiplied into de- j
structive armies over night. For in
deed his extraordinary power of re- j
production seems one of his chief (
characteristics, while bis never-end
ing d?sire to survey tho world from
the highest part of some bald head
marks him also as one of the chief
instruments in the deliverance of the j
.lews. However important may have
been his political usefulness or relig
ious affiliations, he bas served his day
and generation and must go.
In almost every State, and in al
most every community, he has been
arraigned before the bar of justice
and found guilty of the most heinous
crimes, and the slogan, "Swat the
Fly," has gone forth until now he has
scarcely a friend in the wide world
to harbor him.
Until just recently he was regard- j
ed only as a nuisance, a harmless In- j
sect that disturbed our dreams only j
during the day, or, crawling on tho j
nose, awakened the sleeping babe, lt
was while he enjoyed this unlimited
confidence and had the unrestricted
use of the boote that he measured his
greatest success. While unsuspected
of harm he exacted a life from al
most every home in the land and
measured his swiftness by the sure
ness of his deadly stroke.
Until the multiplied rays of the
microscope revealed his hideous
form, he was not altogether unsight
ly, but those magic rays disclosed
him clad in a hairy fur, reeking in
filth and grime, capable of hoarding
up millions of poisonous parasitic
germs, later to be deposited on the
tender lips ot" the nursing babe. Not
only is he now hideous in form, but
also, in studying bis life and habits,
he becomes absolutely revolting to
the sensitive and refined. And, if
for no other reason than that of bis
place of birth, he should be outlawed
In every country and every clime.
Born amid Hie putrefying excrements
of man and beast, lie wallows and
luxuriates in this revolting, inde
scribable filth until he comes to ma
turity. Having a relish for ferment
ing vputrilage, he devours great
quantities, and in an incredibly short
time emerges, fully equipped, nnd
enters al ouce upon his life's mis
sion, spreading filth, disease and
death.
He spends a short time on the top
of a manure pile polishing his body
and wings in a pretense at cleanli
ness; then ho enters the nearest
kitchen for tus first meal away from
home. There he examines the meats
and vegetables and tastes the bread
before it is fairly made. Being an
epicurian by birth, ho is lured into
the dining room by the tempting vi
ands spread tastily before him.
There, perched upon a plate of bis
cuit, he surveys the field of his ot>o
rations and makes straight for the
food nearest him. This filthy insect,
-weighted with the grime of revolting
putrefaction, trails his slimy form
across tho butter, and you oat it;
this vile, loathsome vermin, freighted
With the poisonous germs of decay
ing corpses, takes a bath In the milk,
and you drink it; before his hairy
coat is fairly dry from wallowing in
tubercular sputum or typhoid excre
ment, his succulent form is acciden
tally wrapped up In tlu- pie, and you
swallow him tilth, grime, tubercu
losis, and all; and then in the next
breath, implore high heaven to pro
tect your home from harm.
These things are shocking lo our
sensibilities and repugnant to relined
taste's, but they are nevertheless in
controvertible facts-facts that we
meet with almost daily and in almos!
every homo. They presto)t a prob
lem thal should not be shunned, but
solved.
Not only is this odious insect vile
and filthy, but also he is dangerous
ns well. Ho is the chief and most po
tent agent In the spread of the most
fatal germ diseases, those insidious
maladies that mark its victims for
death without a pang or a pain; and
so long as he is allowed the privilege's
of the home, no member thereof ts
sure that he or she will not fall a vic
tim of that dread disease, tubercu
losis, and die a lingering death. The
most robust manhood is not immune
against the treacherous typhoid
germs gathered trorn cast-offs and de
posited In his food, while tho mother
less babe ls, from the beginning,
market! a victim of his unerring aim.
There ls no place so holy that he
will not enter, no place so sacred ho
will not despoil, and no privados he
will not Invade. He has the temer
ity to walt at the feasts of kings, and
the audacity to poison tho last crust
of a starving child. He will gather
gangrenous matter from the festering
wounds of harlots and deposit it on
the receptivo Ups of the innocent
bride. Ho is a degenerate by birth
and spends bis miserable life com
mitting the most dastardly crimes.
'!<. will dr anything so long as there
is lilli? to lead him on; be will dare
everything so long as there ls dirt,
disease and death to lure him to the
end. But there must be filth. It is
a part of his being and absolutely
necessary to hi? existence. Knowing
this, there ls 'but one logical conclu
sion: Wherever flies arc found there
also will filth be found, and in cor
responding proportions. So blush
with shaine when you again Hud it
necessary to use an unsanitary broom
to mind these filthy, measly scoun
drels from the dinner table while
your guests partake of tho meal.
They may have too great a regard
Tor your feelings to tell you so, but
they nevertheless know that the pres
ence of flics ls due to the presence of
filth.
So, In waging a war of extermina
tion, let us first declare war on filth,
for this has proven the most effective
weapon ever used against this elu
sive foe. When the war ls begun,
let us show no mercy; give no quar
ter in either case till they are both
exterminated, at least from our
homos. Use any means at hand to
eradicate him, for there are no inter
national agreements as to the time,
means or mode of his death. If, af
ter cleaning up. he still lingers, trap
him, ensnare him; place poisoned
food temptingly before him that he
may ea! thereof and die. Hut hy all
means poison his home, his native
land-namely, unscreened closets and
manure piles.
Screen tho home against him, for
he is your "mortal enemy. He destroys
more lives annually than all the Nu
midian lions combined have de
stroyed in all time. Notwithstand
ing this, there are those who say
they are not afraid of him.
Each and every year thousands
upon thousands of fond mothers,
bleeding and broken hearted, march
to the cemeteries to say a last good
bye to their fair-haired, dimpled dar
lings, and on reaching their grief
stricken homes fling wide thc doors,
and bid this insatiable monster God
speed while chasing the next. On the
following Sunday morning the Sun
day school meets and the minister in
charge offers the following resolu
tions:
"Whereas, lt bas pleased the Al
mighty Hod, in His divine providence,
to take from our midst," etc., when
in reality God, nor providence, had
aught to do in taking away the little
pet. You simply, blindly or other
wise refused to observe sanitary laws.
You allowed decomposing filth and
flies to accumulate on or near your
premises, and the little pet was of
fered up as an unwilling sacrifice to
this monster, whom you do not fear.
Instead of submitting resignedly to
what you term the will of God in this
case, you would do well to take a
stick and break that preacher's head
for not telling you the real reason
why the little pet went to Jesus. He
ought to know, and ought to tell you
from the pulpit, that filth in the back
yard and rotten cabbage in the cellar
will produce death, and then you
might have believed it and have been
spared all the pain of parting with
Tommy. C. W. Merritt.

Every druggist in town your
druggist and everybody's druggist -
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. ThcV all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its plai < .
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone
ls perfectly safe and gives better re
sults," said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per
sonally guaranteed by every druggist
who soils lt. A largo bottle costs 50
cents, and if it falls to give easy re
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money hack.
Dodson's Liver Tono ls a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and auults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no bilious, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause in
con ven lenee all the next day like vio
lent calomel. Take a dose of calo
mel to-day and to-morrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't

DACIA CASK IS Ul* AGAIN'.
Fronet) Prize Court Confirms Seizure.
Ci died SU? ties to Protect.
Washington. Aug. 4.-Anu' im ;e
ment from Paris to-day that a F. Ul li
prize court had confirmed tho seizure
of Gie American steamer Dacia as a
lair prize, found the State Depart
ment preparing to protest tho decis
ion, which carries with it forfeiture
of the vessel. It is planned to make
this a test ca.se of the righi of a neu
tral to grant registry to a belligerent
owned merchant ship.
The Dacia's cotton cargo is not in
volved. The British government, be
fore the Dacia sailed from Galveston
last spring for Rotterdam, announced
that the cargo, consigned to Bremen,
would not be detained, the announce
ment being binding upon France. The
French government purchased the
cotton through a special appropria
tion.
The issue in the Dacia case ls the
right of the United States to permit
registry under its flag of a vessel for
merly owned by a German corpora
tion, bul declared sold to an Ameri
can citizen. Great. Britain has sanc
tioned such transfers in war time and
could not consistently seize the Da
cia. France has always held that the
transfer of a merchant ship to a neu
tral power must have been effected at
least 30 days before the outbreak of
host ilities.
At the beginning of the war the
United States served notice on the
belligerents that as they had not con
sou ted to observe the un ra ti fled dec
larations of London as a whole, this
government would not he hound hy
them, but would stand on the general
principles of international law in
dealing with questions of neutral
rights. The protest against con
demnation of the Dacia will rest on
these principles.

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her expert.nee with Cardui, the woman's
tonic. She says further: "Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. Alter taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.

Mr. Frambrough was forced to back
into the vault. The robber filled his
pockets with money, locked the vault
and fled. Over uu hour later W. H.

unlocked the vault a. ter Mr. Fram
