That the ordinary housefly 1 is
the conveyor of more dIhohhoh than
any other one agency Is a fact well
established. ICvery where the fly
rnakcH itH path ho leaven a trail of
germs behind him, often on food,
which, being taken into the body,
lay the foundation of numoroua <11
soahch. If your neighbor has a
contagious disease and the files
are allowed to Infest bin h/inie,
they are likely to pay your houno
a vIm11. bringing in with them thou
sands of infectious germs on their
sticky and numerous feet. It Ih
not only a duty you owe yourHolf
Jind your family; but lu Ih a duty
to humanity for you to exterminate
the flleH on your premises. A sys
tematic campaign Ih regularly made
agaliiKt the muH<|uiU), with the re
unit that he now Iiuh few hiding
places. Kerosene oil and other ?\
terminants jhave been used in old
wells, stngn'aitt pools and other hab
itat h, with great effect. Hut prop
er attention lulu never been given
tl?e housefly, which, to our opinion,
Ih more dangerous than the mosqul
to. because more numerous and giv
en less attention.
We think it a duty the boards of
health owe to tho people to con
demn any places where the house
fly may be raised. Unclean stables
probably cause more flies than any
other source. The people should
remember that files do not raise
lu the house, unless it is extremely
filthy, they are raised in outhouses,
stables, I rash piles, etc., and by
the removal of the sources, a long
step will be made toward their ex
termination. They cannot live in
clean places, they must depend up
on the town's filth to survive
Kveryone Is urged to begin at
once a campaign against this dis
ease provoking pest by keeping
their premises in a sanitary condi
tion. If every premise were so
kept. In n few weeks thofe would
be few flies to infest our homes.-?

The Height SUIt*.
We believe that the world in a
good place and Is growing better.
This world began with a garden and
it is going to end with a garden.
It's a pleasant place to live in and
if we had been consulted as to
which of the stars we should chooso
for a habitation, we could not have
clone better than to select this.
We have always been glad that
we got aboard this planet. It just
suits us. To our mind the very
best color of the universe for wa
ter is blue; the very best shade for
grass is green, and the wry best
for water is a crystaline flash.
The mountains arc just high e
nough for me, the valleys just low
enough, the rivers are just swift
| euough. The human face is most
wonderfully adapted for its uso
with sunshine in its smile and tem
pest in its frown, wi'h two eyes,
one more than is necessary, so that
if one is put out wo .-.till may H*?e
the beautiful things Cod has plac
ed around us; with one nose, most
admirably arranged to take in tho
sweet perfumes of earth
Art. even at its best, may be
justly criticised, but where is the
blasphemer who would dare criticise
,the arch of the sky, or the crest
j of a wave or the flock of fleecy
clouds that the shepherd wind Is
driving over the pastures of tho
j sky. There is only one discord to
a thousand harmonies. There is
'a whole sky full of robins to one
hooting night owl, and to every de
structive torrent there are hundreds
i of placid streams with water lilies
| anchored at their banks and stars
l laying bright reflections to sleep
in their bosoms.?Monticello News.
Scheme Worked All Kight.
It is related that a certain man
was recently very sad because his
wife hud gone out of town on a
visit, which she would not shorten
In spite of his appeals to her to
come home says an exchange. He
finally hit upon a plan to induce
her to return. He sent her a copy
of each of the local papers with
Items clipped out. and when she
wrote to find out he refused *to
tell her. Tho scheme worked ad
mirably. In less than a week she
.was home to find out what It wah
that had been going on that her

Odd Juries
The sheriff of a certain county in
England, being of n Jocular turn of
mind, quietly picked a Jury of the
twelve fattest meu eligible for the pur
pose?men so fat that when they ap
peared in court and the time came
for them to take up their position In
the Jury box it was found that but
nine of them could be accommodated.
However, by rearrangement and
squeezing and amid the boisterous
laughter of the court they finally suc
ceeded In crowding Into their allotted
quarters?a packed Jury In the most
literal sense. Following this fat Jury,
the same merry sheriff had collected a
lean Jury, thin enough to have been
accommodated In the Jury box twice J

Bargains in Clothing.
We were fortunate in securing a big lot of clothing from a
manufacturer who needed the money so we got them cheap and
will place these before our friends for this great June festival.
It has been our experience that the best way to
advertise and make trade is by giving values that are
exceptional to an extreme degree.
It would be folly indeed to advertise a "Special
June Sale" and then not "deliver the goods."
We do not care to disappoint our friends and be
wasting money to advertise. Business has been and is
good with us. What we want is more trade and to get
this we are satisfied to bear a loss. Our loss on these
great bargains we will charge to our advertising account
and consider it a good investment.
