ABATEMENT OF THE
FLY NUISANCE
Fly time is here again with its mi
lions of pests and consequent annoy
ance, and the more serious threat of
the communication of various di
eases.
Following is a set of suggestion
by one of the highest authorities
the country, which should be pre
served and followed by each house
wife, in aiding to eliminate the lli
from Norman:
Keep the flies away from the sic
especially those ill with contagic
diseases. Kill every fly that stray
into the sick room. His body is cov
(red with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material
any character to accumulate on
near your premises.
All refuse which tends in any v
to fermentation, such as beddi
straw, paper waste and vegetal
matter, should be disposed of or c
ered with lime or kerosene oil.
Screen all food.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans clean-
ed or sprinkled with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit, screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparation.
See that your sewerage system is
in good order; that it does not leak,
is up-to-date and is not exposed to
flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Screen all food exposed for sale.
Screen all windows and doors, es
pccially the kitchen and dining room.
Burn pyrethrum powder in tile
house to kill the flies.
Don't forget, if you see flies, their
GIRL SEES SOCIAL FIRE,
It would spoil a good story to sug-
st that the young woman of whom
he paper tells may have had a sense
humor. In the absence of a rcgu-
r reporter, the editor scut the
>ung lady who writes the society
>ws to report a fire in a remote part
f the city.
This is what the young woman
urned in:
Quite a number of people in this
art of the city attended a fire last
iglit at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. John Blank on High street.
Sonic ,it is said, went in corriflgcs
ind motors, but a majority walked.
"The alarm was sounded about
alf-past eight, and many who at-
tended the fire had just returned
from church, consequently they were
Ircady dressed for the occasion.
'Mr. Blank was not at home, be-
ing out of the city on business, hence
he affair will be a surprise to him
when lie returns. Mrs. Blank wore a
ight pale blue kimono and had her
hair done up in kid curlers.
The firemen responded readily,
md worked heroically to subdue the
flames. Most of them were young
md fairly good looking. They were
Iressed in oilskin coats, cut short,
with trousers to match. Their ha',
brims were narrow in front and
road behind, and drooped in the
rear.

Nervous
Collapse
"I have traveled for thirty
years continually. I lost a great
deal of sleep, which together
with constant worry left mc in
such a nervous ntate that finally,
after having two collapses of
nervous prostration, I was
obliged to give up traveling al-
together. I doctored continually
but with no relief. Dr. Miles'
Nervine came to my rescue—I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever I am particularly
nervous a few doses relieve me."
. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me.
There are many nervous
Wrecks. There is nervous pros-
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidneys, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to do—
build up the nervous system by
the use of Dr. Miles' Restora-
tive Nervine. Its strength-
ening influence upon the nerv-
ous system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
jour money.

BIG business country must have big business, and ours is
the biggest business country in the world. Business de-
ponds upon the ease and quickness with which people can
mingle and trade together.
TO STOP THE GROWTH OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS IS TO
STOP THE GROWTH OF THE COUNTRY.
If the steel industry were run by the little concerns of fifty years
ago, there would be only a FRACTION OF THE OUTPUT of
the people's building and transportation materials. If little shops
miido all the agricultural implements as they once did, fully third
of the farmers of the United States could not be supplied.
Konu mber that as short railroad lines handled by little companies
have consolidated into single systems railway rates for freight and
passengers have STEADILY GONE DOWN. Thirty years ago a
man shipping freight from St. Louis to New York would have billed
it over at least two lines of road
ton, lie had to buy at least
cars.
Service is the test of theories. Shall we go backward or forward 1
j Again, the price of the raw.materials that go into wagons and agri-
cultural implements has increased, while the price of wagons and jigri-
eulturnl implements lias gone down, and at the same time those
wagons and agricultural implements today aro guaranteed.

"When the flames broke out
