.ny 'nts BDS ea! 111- eat 111'- 01'- me '0 Experiments conducted by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture have shown that the fly larvae in manure and other re- fuse may be killed by treatment with borax, one pound of borax being suf- ficient to treat 16 cu. ft, or very nearly 13 bushels of manure. If used in larger quantities, the borax may prove injurious to plants. The borax‘ should be sifted over the manure,‘ particularly near the edges of the pile. which should then be sprinkled with four gallons of water. This treatment wil kill 98 to 99 per cent of all the larvae in the manure. At 11 cents per pound for borax, it is estimated that the cost would be 2 cents per horse per day. This cost could be very greatly reduced by em- ploying calcined colemanite instead of! Borax. if the former were imported in large quantities.

A Sensible Thing To Do To wage war with the adult fly is to go into a ceaseless battle that can never be decisive in man’s favor. The flies form such a numerous host that it is impossible to kill them all in a single season and a very few surviv- 31's are sufficient to propagate an equally numerous host the season fol-i lowing. 7. vermin. It visits the filthiest places imaginable and then distributes the filth over our food. It carries the germs of typhoid, infantile diarrhoea. and other intestinal diseases, and, prO- bably, assists in the spread of tuber- culosis. Hence, it is not merely very dirty but exceedingly dangerous as well. adlan Postum Cereal 00.136 W tndsor. Ont. Attack EX TERMINATE THE HOUSEâ€"FLY PUSTUH : Filthy.

They fled like rah} 5 bits, and as they rounded the corner, §of th trench, the bomb went off a few: ffeet from the ground, completely deg-f 5 troying the catapult. ; Physicians Also Say They Sometimes Produce Palsy. Vodka, forbidden forever in Russia by the Czar, is distilled from potatoes, and the new edict may be regarded as yet another shade of ignominy cast upon the long-suffering tuber, for it is interesting to note that the ‘very evils ascribed to vodka drinking to- day were formerly attributed to eat- ing potatoes, says the London Chron- icle. ‘ One morning twenty or more mem- bers of the general staff came round to our trench to witness a test of a new catapult arrangement for throw- ing bombs to the distance of two hun- dred and fifty yards. With great in- terest they watched the screwing down of the great arm and the fasten- ing of the bomb in position. Then upward and forward swung the arm; but the missile. not having been pro- perly secured, instead of hurtling in the direction of the enemy, rose gent--1 1y afew feet in the air, and then turn- ed to descend again into the trench. Yet bombing, like many other as- pects of the war, has its humorous side, and I have seen a whole trench helpless with laughter at the sight of two men running opposite ways to a- void a sausage bomb from a German trench mortar. They collided, and sat down facing each other, like vaudeville comedians. The bomb dropped between them, almost touch- ing them bothâ€"and then failed to ex- plode. Bomb-throwing as an art is still in its infancy; it changes almost from day to day. At best, it is a fiendish way 91' fighting, for it inflicts ghastly mJurles. The more you have to do with bombs the more afraid of them you become, for you cannot play with ex- plosives all day without going aloft sooner or later. The toll of good men who have been blown to pieces by their own bombs is long and sad. Some of the Terrors and Humors of the Bomb.

That is because all these diseases are either kidney diseases or are caused by diseased kidneys. The testimony of people who have been cured is better than all the theory in the world. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are purely and simply a kidney remedy. If you have kidney trouble all you need to do is to ask others. They will tell you that Dodd’s Kidney Pills will cure you. “I have recommended Dodxd’s Kid- ney Pills to many people.
