A TOAST TO THE PRESIDENT
At a luncheon in connection with
the meeting of the Associated Press
in New York recently, President
Frank B. Noyes of the Washington
Star proposed a toast to President
Wilson saying: '‘In offering a toast,
the formal wish for 'health' is usual¬
ly of little significance. With us this
year, in our only toast it is our
custom to offer, the case is profound¬
ly different, for, very earnestly,
very hopefully and very sincerely we
drink to the health, the full restored
health, of the president of the United
States,

Little Willie, who for some months
had always ended his evening prayer
with “Please send me a baby bro¬
ther,” announced to his mother that
he was tired of praying for what he
did not get and that he did not be¬
lieve God had any more little boys
to send.
Not long afterwards he was car¬
ried into his mother's room very ear¬
ly in the morning to see his twin
brothers, who had arrived during the
night. Willie looked at the two ba

BLUE AND PERFUME
TO END FLY MENACE
Color Combine, With Aromatic Spray
Will Drive Off The Disreputable
Poet
The common, not to say disreputa¬
ble house fly has as much me for
the color blue as a burglar has for a
policeman. Wise to this phenomenon
through the experiments of French
scientists, the Merchant’s Associa¬
tion, in a declaration of war Sgaiast
the persistent pests in general of summe^, offensive. pur¬
poses to use it
A bulletin announcement of the
forthcoming drive of New York Mer¬
chants against the enemy contains
this suggestion and hint:
“According to a French scientist,
flies have intense hatred for the col¬
or blue. Rooms decorated in blue
will help to keep out flies. n
A blue room sweetly perfumed is
guaranteed to anger a fly so thor¬
oughly as to cause it to leave the
whole place flat, for all odors plea¬
sant to man are objectionable to the
tiny two-winged murderer of babies.
A living room done with blue, WhU
papered, or decorated with blue as
the prevailing motif, is sure to drive
flies away or unhinge their reason.
it Take five cents worth of oil of
lavender,” the bulletin states, “mix
it with the same quantity of water,
put in a common glass atomizer and
spray it around the room where flies
are. In the dining room spinkle lar
isly over the table linen. The odor
is very disagreeble to flies, but re¬
freshing to most people. Geranium,
heliotrope, mignonette and white
clover are offensive to flies, and they
especially dislike the odor of honey¬
suckle and hop blosvsoms. tt
Spoiling the Fly'* Dinner.
Uncle Sam, who takes a deal of
interest in a lot of things through lilt
various bureaus in Washington has
given many tips to New York mer¬
chants as to how to make the city
flyless. Uncle is responsible for the
tip in blue and for the perfume hints,
and he has thought up a neat assort¬
ment of poisons warranted to spoil
i fly’s taste for dinner.
Formaldehyde and sodium salicy
>ate are the two best fly poisons.
’Both are superior to arsenic and hisve
their advantages for household use
because they are not poisonous to
children, are convenient to handle,
are simply prepared and are always
attractive to the intended victims.
A formaldehyde solution of an
proximately the correct strength may
be made by adding three tablespoon¬
fuls of the concetrated formalde¬
hyde solution commonly known aa
formalin, to a pint of water. Simi¬
larly the proper concentration of so¬
dium salicylate may be obtained fey
dissolving three teaspoonfuls of the
pure chemical <& powder) in a p it
of water.” Uncle Sam tells the mer¬
chants who pass in the informal'CP
along to the public. This concoc¬
tion is warranted to take all the joy
out of life of any busy little buir.er.
Putting aside all persiflage—the
blue color and the perfume sugges¬
tions are not nonesense at all but
very serious fly fighting aids—the
Merchant’s Association takes oppor¬
tunity to warn the people of New
York against a very terrible enemy
which is just now beginning to reap¬
pear from its winter sleep.
Warding Off Ditaut Menace*:
a The medical authorities of the
United States,” the bulletin says,
< i are alarmed at the threatening im¬
portation of typhus fever and tha
germs of other intestinal diseases,
and are making special preparations
to resist and combat the peril. De¬
spite all war-time preparations, many
by communicable diseases which eas¬
ily become epidemic under conditions
favorable to their spread and devel¬
opment. The house fly is a great and
active spreader of such diseases. It
is the duty of everybody to exterm¬
inate it.
<4 Every accumulation of garbage,
manure or filth of any kind is a hot¬
bed for such development. Wipe out
these plague spots. Every fly speck
abounds in germs. In the track of
a single fly have been found 116 cfek
onies of germs and on and in the
body of a single fly 6,600,000 germs.
Every fly seen should be Instantly
killed. Let not one escape. Swat
the spring fly on sight.”
Other suggestions offered are for
the use of borax around stables andr?
the use of lye, chloride of lime
coppers dissolved on water or crude
carbolic acid in anr around vault's^,
The bulletin is signed by Edward
Hatch, Jr., chairman of the mer*?
chants’ committee on pollution and*
sewerage; John Y. Cuyler, Daniel D«
Jackson and Dr. Albert Vander Veer.j
The bulletin or “fly card” will be di&¥
tributed by thousands to the peopHji
of this city.—Dawson News.
