Eagle Call: Bell Phone No. 56- Thursday, April 9, 191 A. “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. ■ Letters Uncalled For.

J. H. BOLE MAN. 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. Almost Given Away!

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. PLANT NOW Tomato Seed, Lettuce Seed, Radish, Etc. Onion Sets 10c quart; cheaper with long sprouts.
