Why The Fly In Dangerous.
For each female fly hatched in
April there will be, if none of
her progeny are killed, 7,(500,
000,000 in September of the
same year.
Every fly is a possible carrier
of disease on its hairy little feet.
He delights in cesspools, decay
ing animal matter, barn yards,
offal heaps, garbage barrels, etc.,
places where disease germs abide
and multiply.
But he likes to vary his diet;
—fresh meat, sugar, bread—
anything that humans eat the fly
also likes.
He dearly loves to frequent
the kitchen and dining room of
his human friends at their meal
time, and he lunches on all kinds
of filth between those meals.
Hivery time ne leaves tne swm
barrel or the cesspools for the
kitchen or dining room he car
ries with him on his feet some
of the filth on which he as just
been walking.
Swat7therefore the voracious
fly, or, better still, swat all you
see, but/keep from seeing many
by starving them to death by
keeping all their food supply in
the' stable, cesspool, swill bar
dining room and kite'
•' safely and securely covered up.

Value Of Strawberry.
“Why every farmer does not
have a strawberry bed is a ques
tion that often persents itself
to us so forcibly that we cannot
put it aside without seeing plau
sible reasons for it
“The strawberry is one of the
first fruits to ripen in the spring
or early summer, coming at a
time when the healthful in
fluences of fresh fruit is most
needed after the system has
been burdened with the heavier
diets during the winter. No
fruit is more universally liked
and none more appetizing than
the luscious strawberry, and
no farmer’s wife that would not
be proud to add to the attrac
tiveness of her table the service
of fresh strawberries from the
berry garden. It does not re
quire much expense or labor to 1
provide an ample strawberry
bed sufficient for the home or
even to have your planting large
enough to provide quite a profit
able surplus provided you live i
near a market.
"One eighth of an acre is am
ple for a strawberry bed for
home use. and would produce a
surplus for many families. This j
amount of ground will easily j
yield six hundred quarts. Allow-1
ing six quarts daily for table use
for thirty days during the berry j
season one hundred and twenty
quarts for canning, preserves,
jellies, would still leave three
hundred quarts to sell at six
cents a quart which would be
$1800, more than enough to
pay the rent, for all the labor
and all the sugar necessary to
add in making the strawberry
the most desirable fresh fruit
for table use that is grown any
where on earth.”—G. T. Tippin
in Spring Leader.

Arkansas Girl Given Hero Medal
Pittsburg, April 25.—Miss Lil
lian Formby of Waldo. Arkansas,
was one of two women to receive
a Carnegie medal for heroic acts
at the annual meeting today of
the Carnegie Hero Fund Com
mission.
Miss Formby was given a
bronze medal and $1,000 to be a
warded as needed for saving the
life of her friend, Miss Ethel
M. Y’Blood at Waldo, August 2,
1912.
Miss Y’Blood, a friend of Miss
Formby, together with the lat
ter, at Waldo, ran across the
railroad tracks ahead of a pas
senger train which was reduc
ing speed for station stop.
When Miss Y’Blood reached
the track, she fell across it and
was unable to get up. Although
the train was but: 325 feet away
and she was tired from her run,
Miss Formby ran 30 feet to Miss
Y’Blood. seized her feet and
tried to pull her off the track.
She was unsuccessful, and ran
across the track and seized Miss
Y’Blood’s shoulders and pulled,
but could not get her off. The
locomotive was then 175 feet
away, and Miss Formby stepped
back to a place of safety. A
moment later she ran to the mid
dle of the the track, seized Miss
Y’Blood’s arm and swung her
f a n acj itinn novollol f a flin v»n i 1 n
Then she stepped outside the
rails and pulled Miss Y’Blood off
the track, a moment before the
train passed over the spot where
she had been. Neither was in
j ured.
ABUNDANT FLUFFY HAIR IS
IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE
DANDRUFF.
How often we hear a beautiful
woman referred to as having a
regal head!
Denude that head of its hair
and instead of a queenly, royai
bearing we have a fright. The
hair makes all the difference. To
have that glorious abundance of
radiant hair which always
crowns “a regal head,” one
should use Newbro’s Herpicide.
Herpicide represents the last
word in scientific hair culture.
It destroys the dandruff, checks
falling hair and corrects general
ly, diseases of the hair and scalp.
The positive results and its
delicate but refreshing odor re
commends Newbro’s Herpicide
to ladies of refinement every
where.
Newbro’s Herpicide in ~ •'
$1.00 sizes is sold and guaran
teed to do all that is claimed. If
you are not satisfied your money
will be refunded

barbers and hair dressers.

horsesLove the smithy
Endearing Terms Used Led Massa
chusetts Animals to Run Away
To Be Shod.
Scituate has a blacksmith who is so
polite to animals that they go to him
i of their own accord. Julian Sneed is
this village smith.
Scituate people accustomed to the
"Whoa there,' and "Git your tail outer
the way” method of same other
smiths, stood around and marveled
when Mr. Smeed assumed his duties
at the local smithy. Smeed may be
heard almost any day after this fash
ion:
l "Now. dear,” in the softest of
tones, "now, sweetheart, let’s have
your foot. Raise up now, please,
dearies.”
Whatever the passerby might think j
of this method, the horses undoubted
ly approve of it.
Two horses, Lady Jane and Lady |
Mary, belonging to Henry T. Cole, the
owner of the local livery, recently es
caped from the stable. They walked !
1 to the blacksmith shop, entered, hur
ried up to the hitching ropes by the i
side of the work bench and held up ;
their feet to be manicured, desiring
to hear sweet nothings.
The story is true and goes to prove
that endearing conversation can be
combined with chiropody to good ef
fect as well in a blacksmith shop as
in any other place in the world.—Bos
ton Journal.
MADE HIM STOP AND THINK
Leading Citizen Wanted to Be Remem- |
(--red as Something More Than
an “Old Grouch.”
“I had a little lesson several weeks
ago.” remarked the man with the gray
mustache, "and it called me in good I
shape.”
“Go ahead.” said the stoat man.
“I was in the garage where I keep i
my car and happened to overhear a i
conversation among the boys. A cer-1
tain man had been injured while trav- i
ellng abroad—very badly Injured. It j
was reported—and one of the boys i
was telling the others about It ‘The i
story lu the paper says he can't get j
well,’ the youngster went on. 'Did
you know him, Pete?* And the boy ad
dressed promptly replied. ‘Sure, I !
know th’ old grouch.’ Say, that hit ;
me pretty hard. Here was a leading :
citizen dying and all the boy could re
member about him was that he was a >
grouch. Tes, sir, It made me sit up
and think hard. And I got in my mind
that when I passed out I’d like to be
remembered for something differenL”
He paused.
"That’s worth considering,” said the i
other man.
"Good text” said the first man.
"Good sermon,” said the other.
New Women of Persia.
Persian women are essentially fem
inine. They want our dress, our edu
cation, our freedom, our happiness.
Dress, it will be observed, comes
first in the catalogue of feminine
wants, but a change of dress or coif
fure seems essential to all revolution
ary movements.
In Teheran, in place of the face veil
of white cloth, the Persian new wom
an now wears a small square of black
net or woven horse hair; her shoes
have high heela; a European skirt
has taken the place of the short skirt
and narrow trousers; the head ker
chief Is being abandoned. One lady
tried to introduce an outfit to take
the place of the "chuddur.” leaving
the face heavily veiled; but it was
too revolutionary even for Teheran,
and. after being mistaken for the ex
Shah in disguise, the wearer revert
ed lu disgust to more orthodox
clothes. In her home the new woman
offers cigarettes instead of the water
pipe.—Moslem World.
How the Eiffel Tower Moves.
That the Eiffel Tower moves daily •
In a vertical and horizontal sense has
long been beyond doubt. Apart from 1
the scientific laws of expansion and
contraction, which Inevitably affected ’
It, one could Bee it daring a gale sway
ing from side to side. But Its vertical
movements were a mere matter of
conjecture until M. Guillaume under
took to Investigate them. He shows
that the great Iron structure may vary
an Inch in height every day. The ele
vation or depression is not equally dis- ,
tribnted, as only one of its sides may ’
be affected by the rise or fall of the i
temperature, and thus the tower may n
be compared to a person shifting his
weight alternately from one foot to
the other.
Festival of Old Maids.
St Catherine's Day. the (festival of
old maids, was celebrated gaily In the I
Rue de la Paix, Paris.
It la the custom In Parts dressmak>
tng establishments for the workglrls
on November 25 to crown with whits i
caps thorn comrades who, during the
year, have reached the age of 25. The
other glria put on cape of various
kinds, and carry sprigs of orange bios- j
som. During the afternoon, if the bead
of the business is generous, they drink I
the health of the old maids In cham- j
pagne.

“How did you find the roads up
wound Jingleville Corners ?” asked
3ilkins of Slathersberry, who bad
ust returned from a motor trip.
“Ob. I wasn’t particularly stuck on

“Really r said Bilklns. “Well, i
