~ KILL FLIES AND SAVE LIVES With the advent of spring: comes the pestilential fly. He makes a disagreeable subject either in conversation or in reading, but until people realize the importance of killing the fly it will be the duty of this paper to devote some space to this disagreeable insect from time to time. The Merchant's Association of New York have issued a bulletin on this subject, which covers it so well that we herewith present it in full: Kill at once every fly you can lino and burn its body. uoservers say mat mere are many reasons to believe there will be more flcs this season than for a number of years. ihe killing of just one fly NOW means there will be billions anil trillions loss during the summer. Clean up your own premises; see and insist that your neighbors do likewise. | Especially clean "out-of-the-way places," and every nook and cranny. Flies do not go where there is u .thing to eat, and their principal diet is too filthy to mention. The Fly I* the Tie That Bind* the Unhealthy t* the Healthy!

BURDEN PUT ON BRITAIN Must Provide for France and ItalyNeutrals Suffer From Stringency? Pestilence and Suffering in Many Forms Will Follow. London.?On the opening day of the current session of parliament Admiral Lord Charles Berosford made the calm observation that If the war should continue another year Europe would s.are famine* in the f?c?. lie did not eonline his word of impressive warning to the Central Empire; lie spoke of Europe, and included neutrals us well as the belligerents of both sides. One need not go far nfield in these days to find many thoughtful men seriously contemplating that possibility. Somebody once said that the world lived about 72 hours from the brink of starvation. Europe is the smallest and most Intensively cultivated continent, producing more than half the world's wheat. Its aggregate of livestock supplies makes It far away the greatest meat producing continent; yet it is unable to feed Itself and for lis deficiencies draws upon the surpluses of the rest of the world. Great Britain draws a larger proportion of its foodstuffs front abroad than any great nation, yet because it lias wealth and shipping and universal business relationships its dependence upon the rest of the world makes it the most Independent of European countries in this matter of food supplies. "There will lie no second I'unic war," thundered Mr. Bonar Law. chancellor of the exchequer, from his place on the government benches a day or two after Lord Beresfnrd had urged his warning. That phrase lias passed into current usage, like Mr. Lloyd George's great speech warning the nation that it must rlioosc between great sacrifices and irreni tusasiers; 11 (loncstiy lioid up to England the nrt? of possible nation* *1 ruin. Carthage, like fSreat Britain, was a maritime country dependent on far away lands for necessaries. Across the narrow seas a rival rose to dispute Its dominion of the sen, which meant its right to live. No one wnr or two | wars determined that Issue. In the end Carthage fell. Question of Feeding. When Mr. Ronnr Law said there . would he no second Punic war he was, telling Ills British public that England must so completely establish her se-j purity and hereafter hold it so firmly ) that no further dispute should be possible. When we place that alongside I he words of Lord Tiercsford It is possible to understand the vital character of the struggle whose climax is approaching with the opening of the J spring campaign of 1017. It Is become, as almost everybody in ! Europe now begins to see, a question whether the economic resources of tin LVntv.ol Empires or the maritime power rtf the allies can longest stand the strain. Can Germany and Austria feed themselves from within longer than the entente can feed itself from without? The military decision Is going to he secondary to this economic determination. If one side can feed itself longer than the other can that side will win. it was looked upon at the end of the war's lirst year as a great struggle In military attrition. Today it Is .lust as widely recognized to bo a war of economic attrition. The essence of such a struggle is the problem of feeding the warring nations. Of them all England has in her toil the largest possibilities of increas ng n{?ric*nltiirtil prnduetion. Mr. Lloyd ("Seorge declared in his1 <peech tlint fi.OOft.OOO ?,r 0.000,000 acres ' >f available agricultural laml remained mused. Beyond this great areas have teen utilized for pasturing.

I'no i'erutia Company, Ohio ????????? is now realized" better than it was a few ifionths ago that the conditions of life during war are utterly disastrous to the Interests of peace. The other day a Dutch farm hand who had been working In Germany most of the time since the war began returned to his I j home In Holland. He painted a pic- j ! tnre of conditions In rural Germany. lie had been the one able bodied man : on a farm of more than 200 acres. It had been his work to get a maximum of production out of the land in the : face of the fact that he was the only , i really competent unit of man power j there. In former times several men would have worked on that farm, amply sup-' piled with live stock for power, for meat and milk supplies, for the pro- I ductlou of fertilizers. Hut the last of the men was taken nway to the army, i some of the women to munition works, j The horses had been taken away to l?f light in;; forces uiul a long stop laid ' been taken toward destruction of the other live stock to provide meat. Fertilizers were almost utterly lacking. In anticipation of the crop season of 1 ! 17 he found tlint the stock of seed had been drawn upon to a ruinous extent because Germany like the rest of Europe, is living so largely upon its capital. Working long hours under the most arduous conditions this man had for months been underfed although well paid, lie simply could not stand the strain and left his place. This is a picture of what may be seen and Is daily being reported all over Europe. Switzerland, Holland, Greece, toll of multitudes in dire need of food. The Scandinavian countries suffer less for food but more for some other necessaries. Neutrals Also Suffer. Yet it is not safe to presume that in the outside world the wheat fields and the stock resources of Canada and India and Egypt, the Argentine and Australia, can lie looked upon this year to make tip Europe's deficiencies. Neutrals are suffering through lite same causes, even if not so acutely, that arc diminishing the productive power of i ? i.<ikii?-. iiii m>1 i.-s M-iirir, machinery and credit are almost impossible to secure. Manufactured articles w hich rep-: reseat the least of Europe's troubles thus far are not to be had by reason of both the Industrial and iiuaneial breakdown. The outside world cannot produce; food for blockaded (Jerman.v and Austria. The naval power of the allies will not permit II to feed them. Whether it will be able to send its surplus to the entente nations must <h petal on the capacity of an overworked and under loaned merchant marine. There is more acute need for shipping than ever before in modern times, while the supply of it is being diminished day by tiny. The world is no longer on a normal basis. Credit and money, even gold money, mean little. The tonnage unlt of shipping capacity is the standard by which the capacities of nation; to live and support themselves must he gauged. Ity tdl accounts there is no real iiun per in England as yet, but Mr. Lloyi' Ceorge has informed the nation tlmt Its food supplies are lower than ever before; he has required a drastic limitation of imports other than sheer necessities of life so that there may bf cargo space to bring these necessaries England litis not only to supply Its own requirements from abroad hut Itirgelj to provide the shipping tlmt shall bring food to France and to Italy. It must nun means m carry troops and sup plies to the near laist anil necessaries of war to Russia. Wastage Also a Factor. This rough outline explains how tht war is coining to he looked upon as one more likely to lie determined by ecu nomie than military attrition. Economic wastage, breaking down the physical strength and the morale of armies maj help bring the war to the determinative military or naval victory. It is for that decision that England and liei allies are desperately bidding. The) believe that if Germany is now begin nlng to feel the pinch of hunger she will feel it more acutely a year hence when tin* blockade will have heroine j tighter and only partial crops will have been raised. England and her allies unafraid, are tightening their belts ant preparing for just this kind of war. Germany lias undertaken to starve England ; the allies to starve Germany Earring some tremendous, determina live event that nobody really expect', the war will not be ended till after the pinch of absolute hunger shall hay< been felt by many millions. I'estilenei and suffering in many forms would accompany such n disaster. Yet the win steadily moves on toward such a climax. Watch the label on your I paper.

NC-130 I ' BABIES STARVE IN THE STREETS Neutral Traveler Paints Harrowing Picture of Pitiful Con- , ditions in Vienna. i ONLY THE WEALTHY GET FOOD Men, Women and Children Succumb to Hunger and Want?Gloom and Depression Weigh Heavily on People. London.?From n neutral who has spent prolonged periods in AustriaHungary several times since the war a Heme correspondent learns that never has the Austrian capital been in such v plight as now. Men, women nii<i even cmntrcn lately have Mlc* climbed to hunger ami want, and la- is assured that children have been literally dying In the streets. Nowhere is there enough to eat, he says, except among the wealthy classes and the well-to-do fanners. The organization for the distribution of provisions is wretched, despite the fact that a "People's Food OfHce" has existed In Vienna since December 1 last. According to the organ of the Wholesale Purchasing Association of Austrian Consumers' associations, prices have risen, taking Austria as a whole, by 104.07 per cent since the war began, but in Vienna proportionately far more. It is not merely that all necessities have become so exceedingly expensive, I>iit that they are not procurable. The few who have money still contrive to purchase enough, but t! great majority who have not money either go constantly hungry or depend >n public kitchens, which since their creation have supplied the poorer Istsses in Vienna wi'h .'IX.'J.Ml.XI meals, at a total cost of about $2,lOiVKR). 474,300 Dependents.
