If everybody could be impressed with the importance of entering an early and vigorous campaign for the extermination of the house fly, a great menace to the health of every community would be removed, for such a war undoubtedly would succeed in its purpose. It no doubt would be a comparatively easy matter to rid the country of the pest if everybody would make war on it at the opening of the season, when the first ones make their appearance. This cannot be expected, however, and since it is not probable that the country will ever be entirely rid of the fly, the next best thing is to guard against its intrusion by the scrupulous cleanliness about the premises and screening of tne windows and doors of residences and business houses. In some communities the people, in addition to screening their houses use fly traps, which are placed on porches or near doors on the outside of the house. A serviceable and cheap trap is one made of common screen wire, such as is used for door and window screens. In those places where screens and fly traps have been in general use, the small number of flies has become so obvious, it is said, that the plan can well be recommended to every community.

Let us each mind our own business and we will never be out of employment. The ground hog isn't the only animal that's afraid to see its shadow. The express company magnate now sees the parcel pout shadow whenever ha gets! in the sun, while the doVe df peace sees flying beneath it the black shadow of the war vulture. It was impossible to fool the bill collector. Eat Neat. No man who lives on meat was ever known to lick his wife or ask for a divorce, says an exchange. Adam got into a row right off because he had no hog meat, butter or black bass. Napoleon lost Waterloo because the allied forces had bacon for breakfast the morning of the fight. The French had vegetable soup. No war can be successfully waged without hog meat. Americans are the most frisky people on earth because they eat the most hog meat. A vegetable diet woman is as cold and clammy and unlovable as a turnip. If you wish to put roses in the cheeks of your girls, vitality in their every motion, and brains in their heads, feed them meat. If you want your boy to get a job and hold it, go to the front, and amount to something, give him bacon grease, ham fat or tallow, thi < e times a day. The world is full of cranks who are always getting up some new fad about hay soup or corn j fodder tea. Normal Frost Season Is Passed. The average date on which the t last killing frost in Spring oc- \ curs in this section, according to r the Charlotte Observer, is now > passed. The date is March 30, ( and with the passing of that day ? ends the period of four-tenths of the year during which killing j frost has occurred in the past. J The forecaster would not state that no more killing frosts or freezes would occur this Spring, but ventured the Statement that comparatively mild weather prevails again over the country. The first freeze in Autumn of 1912 occurred on November 3, two days later than the average, and unless another freeze occurs this Spring, the date of the last ill I J i ?? ireeze win oe recoraea as wiarcn 28, two days earlier than the average. During this frost period of 140 days, there have been in past years an of 45 days on which the thermometer registered freezing or below. While the past Winter period has seemed to be a very mild one, it has been but slightly warmeV than the average, when viewed from the standpoint of days with freezing weather, as the number totals 42 days. In the winter of 191112 in the same period there were 68 days on which ice formed. No Need to Stop Work When the doctor orders you to stoj work it staggers you.
