S. Department of Commerce.) When the modern mother sings “Baby-bye, here's a fly” to her infant she changes the second line of the old nursery song to read “Let us swat him, you and 1.” The common house- fly is no longer an object of tolerant interest, but has become an object of hatred and distrust. He is known to be the principal factor in the distri- bution of the germs of typhoid. Especially is he regarded asthe en- emy of the baby, asthere is reason o believe that he carries about the germs of summer diarrhea and leaves them behind him, with other filta, when he lights on the nipple of the feeding bottle, or crawls over the sau- cer of cereal, or falls in the mil Thus he is a real danger, not only to the baby but to the whole family, and every effort should be made to do away with him. Prevent Flics From Hatching. Flies may be kept out of the house to a considerable extent by using screens at the doors and windows, and those that get inside may be trapped, poisoned or swatted. But better thaa any of these methods is to destrov the flies in the larval stage, and thus prevent them from hatching. The fol- lowing information is furnished by the department of agriculture: “A safe and effective’ weapon against the typhoid or house-fly has been found in powdered hellebore by scientists of the department of agr- culture. Flies lay their eggs chiefly n stable manure. Powdered hellebore mixed with water and sprinkled over the manure, will destroy the larvae which are hatched from the egsgs. Since powdered helebore is readily ob- tainable, this puts in the hands of everyone a remedy for one of the pests that has been found dangerous as well as troublesome.

Breed in Manure. “It has long been known that flies breed in manure but previous methods of destroying the larvae there by the use of strong chemicals have been open to the objection that the treat- ment under some conditions lessened the fertilizing value of the manureor actually injured vegetation. This is not true of powdered helebore. Gov- ernment experiments have shown that the hellebore is entirely decomposed in course of the fermentation of the manure and that even in excessive quantities it does no harm except to Cnickens picking in manure treated “One-half pound of powdered helle- bore mixed with ten gallons of wa- of e eight bushels, or ten cubic feet, manure. The mixture should pecial attention being paid to the out- er edges. In most places hellebore is obtainable in 100-pound lots at a cost of eleven cents a pound. This makes the cost of the treatment a little less than seven-tenths of a cent per bushel of manure. A liber- al estimate of the output of manure is two bushels a day per horse. The money involved is, .therefore, trifling in comparisén with the benefits to the individual and the communty from the practical elimination of the dis- ease-spreading fly. Borax May Be Substitute. “Although fresh manure is the fa- vorite breeding spot, flies lay their eggs in other places as-well, such as ception will be held next Tuesday af- ternoon. The Poli. patrons are thoroughly enjoying the play “In Wyoming,” In which the players are appearing this week. - Next week, the management an- nounces as the attraction “The Call- ing of Dan Matthews,” a companion play to ‘The Shepherd of the Hills,” in which the players appeared last week. Last week’s play was very popular and the management decided to present the other play by the sama authors, which has been declared tc Common House Fly Principal Factor n of Germs of Typhoid Mother’s Song to Baby Should Be “Let Us Swat Him You and I”—Pest Should Be Kept from Nipple of and from Milk. outhouses, refuse piles, etc. In thes places from which no manure is tak- en to spread on the fields, consider- able saving may be effected through the substitution of borax for pows- Aered hellebore. Applied at the raie ~f 0.62 pounds per ecight bushels of manure, borax is as effective as pow- Acrea hellebore in killing the larvae wut costs less than half a cent for sach hushel of manure treated. In larger auantities, hawever or when the ma- nure itself is spread at a greater rate than fifteen tons to the acre, some damage to crops may result. Large quantities of manure are often used by market gardeners and others, and there is always danger of carelessness in applying the borax. The use of the more expensive but safer hellebore is therefore recommended for the treat- ment of manure. Borax is recom- mended for all other refuse in which flies may lay eggs. “Scientists who have been working for years to eliminate the fly are con- vinced that the use of one or the oth- er of these simple measures is a puli- lic duty wherever manure and refuse exist. Sanitarians, however, strongly advise the removal of refuse heaps or other unnecessary rubbish or breed- ing places for flies. In breeding places which cannet be thus disposed of-——such as manure or stables—the daily use of powdered hellebore will keep the flies from breeding in these favorite breding grounds. The best results are obtainable in a community ere everyone cleans up his prem- ses; traps or Kkills the fiies and sys- tematically treats the manure and other breeding places with powdered hellebore. ¥lies Spread Disease. “The fly is not only a nuisance human beings and live stock; it spreads disease and filth and is a menace to public health which can- not be tolerated in the face of a demonstrated remedy. Details of the experiments with other information on the subject are contained in a professional paper, Bulletin 245 of the United States department of agricul: ture.” io “ARE YOU A MASON?” BARRYMORE FILM Joan Barrymore in “Are You a Ma- son?” 'That is the big attraction aut Keeney's tonight and Thursday.

PRESENTED AT FOX’S! he Flaming Sword.” picturized from the play of the same title. a five | part production with Jane Grey and | Lionel Barrymore in the leading roles | opens a two-day engagement at Fox's | this afternoon. The story of “The | Flaming Sword” is woven around the | romance cof Sieve Fernald and Meera | Calhoon. Steve, a voung college | chap, unfortunate in his business ca- | reer, after a life of di ion, con- | cludes that life not worth living | and contemplates suicide. Among | his associates is a girl named Maisie | with whom Steve’s name has been | coupled by his intimates. Steve gives | a banquet and announces that he is | bankrupt and that his friends are ; looking upon him for the last time. After the festivities Steve gzoes to his apartment, puts his affairs in order and slowly walks to the water front | where he hires a small boat and the last secen of him is in the boat, | sail set, leaving the inlet for the open sea. Steve drifts out to sea, and after days of misery, is washed upon the beach of a small island where he is | found by a girl named. Meera, who lives with her father and several ser- vants. Meera's father had suffered a great wrong in his early life and had taken the position of lighthouse keeper on this island where he could live as a hermit and forget his trou- bles. A strong attachment springs up between Steve and Meera. In the meantime the father learns that Steve is the son of the man who wronged him and in an awful fit of rage he drives Steve from the island. The realization of a false accusation of Steve by Maisie, and the bringing together again of the two lovers make a photo-play replete with dramatic situations. The latest chapter of “The Romance of Elaine” and an excellent comedy make up the balanc a varied program of high class attrac- tions. CONNECTICUT FAIR BEST EVER PLANNED!

A tragedy is averted by Griswold's en- | tering, announcing that the child has been found. George Beban interprets the part of Pietro Massena with fidelity. The real Italian heart is seen and the sturdy old Roman, believed to have gone to sleep for centuries, is resur- rected, and his awakening is start- ingly realistic. Blanche Schwed, as Rosa; Edward Gillespie, as Inspector Lynch; Haywars Ginn in the chardcter of Willlam Griswold, and Andrea Lynne, as Mrs. Willlam Griswold, per- form their parts in a satisfactory man- ner.

Friday and Saturday for the matinees the admission will be ten cents for all seats. For Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights the price will be, bal- cony all seats ten cents, with the or- chestra twenty cents, The production is enacted in eight big acts and owing to the length of the production it will be shown but once in and once at night, matinee at 3 p. m and evening at 8 p.’ m.
