“SWAT THF FLY.”
We know of no more important mes
sage to send the housekeepers of
Gainesville than the familiar slo
gan of the large cities today: “Swat
the fly.” So many of us when chil
dren learned in our old American
Headers these beautiful lines:
“Buzz, buzz happy fly,
With your wings so small;
Climb the window-pane,
Creep along the wall;
Walk around the sugar-bowl.
Taste the cream so sweet,
Have a care, my little fly,
Not to wet your feet.
Do not be afraid of me;
I will do no harm to thee.”
From this viewpoint we arecoming
to realize just what a dirty and dead
ly enemy of mankind the house fly
is. Millions of bacteria have been
found on the innocent-appearing
feet of a single common fly.
The test of a good housekeeper to
day depends on her ability to have a
flyless house, flooded with streams
of pure fresh air. A hard job, yes,
harder than our grandmothers found
it; none the less possible. And let’s
begin this spring-time a war to the
finish against the FLY.
It is now believed that the fly is
responsible for many cases of typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, infantile paraly
sis, and other serious communicable
diseases, and that germs live for
forty-eight hours at least in the
body of the fly. Epidemics have
been traced to flies which carried
germs from unprotected cesspools to
the milk-can of an otherwise clean
dairy. The germs carried by a single
fly are sufficient in number to infect
whole families. On one fly as many
as 6,600,000 disease-causing bacteria
have been found, and in a recent ex
periment the average number of
germs found on each 414 flies was
1,250,000. These germs were counted
by dropping each fly in a bottle of
perfectly sterilized water, after which
the water was subjected to micro
pic examination. The germs found
in the water represented the number
of germs that would be found in a
milk pitcher after a fly had struggled
in it for a moment or to.
Every female fly is the possible
progenitor of billions of flies during
a single summer. It is not difficult,
■only troublesome, to get flies out of
a house, even after several genera
tions have developed since the begin
ning of the season. And you can
keep them out. Twenty drops of
carbolic acid poured on a hot shovel
in a tightly closed room will give off
fumes that, will kill all flies in a
room. The most effective way of
getting flies out of a house is to kill
them one by one with “swatters”
made of wire screen, on the end of a
stick. Once a house is clear of flies,
screens will keep them out. A mix
ture of carbolic acid and kerosene,
swabbed over a screen door, will
drive away the flies that usually
congregate there waiting for some
one to open the door to let them in.
The really important thing that we
would urge is to teach children that
a fly is just as dangerous as a rattle
snake, even more more so, as for it
leaves a poisoned trail wherever it
walks. ■

was at times considerable liveliness
in the meeting, and at one time
Chairman Harris and R. G. Hutch
ens, of Rome, clashed in a verbal
battle.
There was also sharp fight on that
part of the sub-committee’s report
which sought to apply the unit rule
to’ judges and solicitors only when
the local committees ordered it,
the plurality rule to obtain if not
ordered othewise.
The committee meeting was
marked by an unusually full atten
dance, there being less than a half
a dozen proxies.
Only one change was made in the
report of the sub-committee of fif
teen, named shortly after the meet
ing again, to draft rules and regu
lations and pass on resolutions.

There are imitations of Dodson’s
Liver Tone for which extravagant
claims are made, but the public
knows how to judge between loud
boasts and the plain truth. And
then the merits of Dodson’s Liver
Tone are too widely known for any
one to hesitate.

that you feel brighter, better and
happier. If you feel headachy and

peddlers of alum baking powders, Bo jug

or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that
Royal Baking Powder

cial examinations to be of the
leavening efficiency,
free from alum, and of absolute
purity and whoiesoraeness.

for making finest and most economical food.

You Have Nasal Catarrh
Not Very Bad, But—
It Bothers You a Good Deal.
Some people have nasal catarrh
and know it. Not only the patient
knows it, but all of his friends know
it. Many people know it that are not
his friends. Just those people who
happen to meet him in the street car
or on the public square.
That sort of a nasal catarrh need
not be described. Everybody knows
the symptoms without their disgust
ing recital.
Perun a helps such cases every day.
Thousands have attested to this fact
unsolicited. Peruna benefits even the
worst cases of old nasal catarrh. j
But there are cases of nasal ca
tarrh not so evident. One nostril is
stopped today. The other nostril is
stopped tomorrow. Cannot breathe
freely through the nostrils. Easy to
sneeze. Mucus in the nose too thick.
Sometimes forms brownish lumps.
Catch cold easily. Never quite free
of a cold. These symptoms describe
a case of subacute nasal catarrh.
Many people have it, and some who
would not admit they have nasal ca
tarrh.
He knows he must blow his nose
freely. He remembers that he does
not breathe easily through the nose.

Not a Sleeper,
This from Joseph Church, at Har
vest, Ga.:
“I just thought I would write and
give you my little grand-daughter’s
new name for your Gainesville
Eagle, as you are aware I am one of
your subscribers and she hears us
speak of the Gainesville Eagle often.
So on yesterday she picked up a
late issue of the St. Louis Republic
and ran to me with it and said as
she handed itover, “there, Grandpa,
is your Gainesville Sleeper.”
He recalls the fact that he snores
some now, whereas he did not pre
viously.
Subacute nasal catarrh! Or we
might call it incipient nasal catarrh.
Or, still better, nasal catarrh just be
ginning and becoming chronic.
Now is the time to take Peruna.
A little Peruna will do wonders at
this stage of the disease. Snuff a lit
tle weak salt water every morning
(see “Ills of Lif r .” sent fr~e by Pe
runa Co., Columbus. Ohio), just
enough to clear out t.m nose. Take
a dose of Peruna before breakfast.
Hold it in the mouth. Let it trickle
down slowly and breathe the fumes
of it out through the nose as you
swallow it.
This will stop an incipient case of
nasal catarrh in a few weeks. Stop
it entirely. The nose b •wn-s char
again. The breath is ’ sweet. The
breathing free. No more snoring, or
snuffling, or sniffling, or catching
cold easily. All of these things are
in the past.
An army of men and women have
been benefited by Peruna. You might
as well become one of the benefited
ones as to allow’ it to go on any
further.
