Swat the Fly - and Save the Child By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. At this time of year, to paraphrase Scripture, “A man’s flies are they of his own household,” but they soon wander forth in search of a breeding place to deposit their eggs and even though your own premises may be spotlessly clean and free from dirt heaps, dust heaps, garbage dumps, or manure piles, they will keep on flying until they find a place which is filthy enough to make them feel at home, and settle down, from which their children will return to make life a burden for you. So a little neighbor- hood scouting and co-operation be- comés necessary. Fortunately, the classic question, “Who is my neighbor?” can be easily and promptly answered from a fly- fighting point of view, viz: Anyone who lives or “barns” within 250 or . 300 yards of your house, for this is | about the foraging range and flight limit of flies, unless carried by winds or upon vehicles or domestic animals. - If you can induce all within that ~ limit by peaceable persuasion to play up and clean up like good citizens and neighbors, well and good. If not, an appeal to the Board of Health or .~ to the police will be in order. This is " not a personal matter, but a public duty, according to the new health commandments: “Thou shalt - bear witness against thy neighbor's gar- ba‘fi heap and against his manure pile y In the meantime, while waiting for the offending and fly-breeding dirt heap to be hauled away, it is a com- . paratively simple matter to make it - temporarily harmless, without mak- . ing yourself liable to spite suits for * damages on the. groun poiling * the manure for fertilizer,purposes, As tested out and recommended by the United States Department of Ag- riculture, sprinkling and soaking such 3 Yut heap with a solution of one- half pound of powdered hellebore in en gallons of water (stirring well and allowing it to stand for twenty-four hours), will destroy all the maggots, eggs.and larvae which are then pre ent.

She should have been very happy, for her work was pleasant, the hours were not hard and all the ushers’ were attired alike 'in pretty soft blue dresses with demure white | collars of sheerest organdie and wide soft cuffs of the same material. The girls were all chosen for their | pleasing appearance, and Enid had |an unusually pretty face, although it was not pleasant. She had soft blond hair and a delicately tinted skin, and was slim and straight, but she was not pleasing to people, be- cause she eternally sulked. The day she had been engaged something had been said that light- ened her whole face for a minute, and she had been actually lovely. “That new girl is a pippin for looks,” the house manager had re- marked, and had then promptly for- gotten all about her and had not seen her face day after day when she ushered people to their seats. It wasn't that she happened to be put out about things continually; the look that her face wore was not so much a cross look as it was a look that plainly indicated: “Of course, 1 am paid to show you people to your seat, but it bores me had what I really deserved I should beck and call.” Now people will notice a girl's face, and if it is willing and sweet and pleasant to look upon they will remember it. People often looked at Enid's supercilious little face and smiled at its loftiness and its sulky | little mouth, The other girls fought shy of her and gathered in little knots by themselves and wondered why Enid worked at all if she felt so much above them. | One day, and there always come those days in a girl's career when the tiniest happening will change her entire destiny, Marie Rooney, the plainest girl that the establishment boasted, found Enid weeping bitterly in the dressing room where the girls left their out- door things. Marie was a little chary of speaking to Enid, but she finally went over and touched the girl timidly on the shoulder. “What's the matter, has anything happened to you?” Enid looked up to see who was speaking to her, and the other girl's obvious sympathy loosened her tongue and she sobbed out: “Mr. Brandt doesn’t want me any longer; he said that people have cmgplained about me, and I have to 0. “But what's the matter?” Marie to death to have to do it, and if I Hiawatha Summer Fares ROUND TRIP from Omaha Akeley, Minn. .. k Minn Battle Lake, Minn.

She did not spare her. She told her what the other users thought about her looks, —Hote Marie Antoinette Broadway, 66th and 67th Sts. NEW YORK CITY.

But I'd be so different if I could | have another chance, only it's too late.” “Come on with me, and I'll see Mr. Brandt,” Marie said, soothingly. “You're a peach of a looker, and I'll gel} him what you told me. We'll fix it Mr. Brandt was in his office when the two girls entered and he heard Marie's story with some twitching at the corners of his mouth. Marie was nothing if not voluble, “All right,” he said, finally; “we’ll try you again. Get into your dress and let me see if you can give us a few smiles.” Enid squeezed Marie’s hand as they went back to the dressing room. “You're a real friend,” she whispered, “and I feel different now. I'm going to try so hard to make a success of this thing, and if I do I'll have you to thank.” And she smiled eagerly. “That's all you have to do, look like that,” Marie whispered back, “You'll get there, you can't help it.” Household Topics Keeping Accounts with Yourself BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. An old Arabic saying reads: “Four things come not back: The spoken worg; the sped arrow; time passes; the neglected opportunity.” The wisdom of the ages lies in this old proverb. A How many of us put its lesson infto? practice on our way through ife How many of us keep books with life and carry on accounts with and for ourselves which make for our own growth and progress and which saves us from too great and cruel in- debtedness marked down against us? For all we get in life we pay. And the price is too often extortionate. We don't take the finality of things seriously enough. And there is a grim reality in many things. We speak idly and without thought. We forget what we have said be- cause we gave it so little considera< tion before expressing it and meant so little by it when we spoke. But the fact that we have spoken has its weight. Someone listened. Someone will remember. Nothing we can say or do after- ward can quite make up for the care- less word we spoke. Perhaps it hurt someone we loved. Perhaps it harmed the reputation of someone to whom we wished no evil. Perhaps it put us on record as taking an atti- tude in some matter which is not basically our opinion at all. But we have spoken and the word will not return, The sped arrow reaches some mark —perhaps not the one at which we aimed, but a mark, nevertheless. Shoot into the air and you may cleave the bark of a tree, destroy a twig or even end the life of a human being. - The arrow that snaps off from a bow or that comes from an action has gone. Whether it goes wide of its mark or straight to it, that it has been sped is a fact—and a fact which we cannot undo. And time! Most of us treat time as if eternity itself were ours. We waste days and even weeks with a prodigal carelessness we would fear to show in our disposal of money. But time once spent never returns. Think of the day when you arose, looked out of the window at a low- ering sky and wondered how you were going to get through “another rainy day!” How did you get rid of that day? “Get rid of it,” mind you; dispose of wonderful minutes and hours that might have meant growth and progress; lavishly expend time that should have been used to definite purpose. Did you mope around the house complaining, or did you rush out in scarch of diversion, or even fritter away the time in telephone conver- sations and nibbling at candy? Every time I hear anyone talking in blase accents of “killing an hour,” I wonder if they have any idea of the opportunities for study and use- ful service to the world and self- cultivation they are wasting! Recently I overheard one societ girl say to another in a lazy drawl: “How do you find time to read?” She meant it, too. Her days are spent in rushing about from one festivity to another and beautifying herself for long hours of the day in prepara- tion for each new excursion after pleasure and admiration. The idle kill time—they assassinate most of the peace and happiness in their neighborhoods and get exactly nowhere as the result of their tragic waste of life itself. And if ever they awake to a reali- zation of their own folly and long to make up for it, life is inexorable, Nothing can make up for wasted time. The hour that is gone never will return, | That we cannot recall time which is passed ought to make us value time seriously and refrain from wast- ing it. And however much of new chance life offers us, it will never again give us back the same opportunity we once neglected and wasted. What that opportunity might have meant we can never know. What we might have accomplished by seizing a mo- ment which came and was gone again lies hidden from our knowl- edge. : But there are things in life which offer themselves to us and go, never to return; and there are deeds which we do which are sadly irretrievable. It is well for us to stop and question before acting or failing to act: Is this final? Is it for all time? Is it one of the things which will never return—a moment which is here now and which I shall always regret if [ lose? oy S N\ Especially pretty effects can be ob- tained in the arrangement of desserts, An unusually attractive dessert which is equally good to eat and good to look upon is strawberry tart.
