The Fly-Fighting Committeo of tho American Civic Association of Washington, D. C, recom mends the following method to get rid of (lies: To clear rooms of flies carbolic acid may bo used as follows: Heat a shovel or noy similar ar ticle and drop thereon 20 drops of carbolic acid. Tho vapor kills the flies. A cheap and perfectly reliable fly poison, ono which is not dan gerous to human life, is bichro mate of potash in solution. Dis solve one dram, which can be bought at any drug store, in two ounces of water, and add a little sugar. Put some of this solution n shallow dishes, and distribute them about the house. Sticky fly paper, traps and liquid poisons are among the things to use in killing flies, but the latest, cheapest and best is a solution of formalin or formalde hyde in water. A spoonful of this liquid put into a quarter of a pint of water and exposed in the room, will be enough to kill all the flies. To quickly clear the room where there are many flies; burn pyrethrum powder in the room. fhis stupefies the flies when they may be swept up and burned. Letter to Mike Black, McConnellsburg, Pa. Dear Sir: Mrs. S. C. Ashe's house in Yorkville, S. C, was painted Devoe 21 years ago, and hadn't been painted since; it is a handsome house and the paint was in good condition when we were there three years ago. Do we therefore say that Devoe wears 21 years in South Carolina? No; on the sandy coast, where the sun is hot and the flying sand cuts the bark off trees, Devoe is the only paint that wears more than one year. Localities differ; Devoe doesn't differ. It is the paint that takes least gallons to cover a job and makes least cost and wears long est; how long depends on sun, wind, sand, etc. Yours truly 63 F. W. Devoe & Co. P. 3.

Whi-n a daily newspaper num bers among its readers tens of thousands who dwell in communi ties remote from the place of its publication there prima facie evi de.nce that narrow local interests play but a comparatively small part in the scheme of its exist ence. Tho strong following of "The Philadelphia Record" out Bide of Philadelphia, in Pennsyl vania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, is a case in point. The out of town subscribers of "The Record" do not read it in prefer ence to other city dailies solely to find out what is going on in Phila delphia. Their favor has been won and held by its special ap peal to their likings and require ments in other directions. While "The Record" is a Dem ocratic newspaper, the sources of its popularity cannot be sought in its political faitb, since many of its longtime admirers are staunch Republicans. But the vigor and sincerity of its editori als compel the approval and re spect even of those "who do not agree with their teachings; and partisanship is kept out of its news columns. "The Record's" news outlook is broad and far reaching; it is alert in gathering the daily grist from all points in neighboring States and from the world at large; and, what is no less important, it is fair, accurate and entertaining in presenting it. "The Record" makes a fetish of reliability. One consequence of this is that its daily market quotations have become the stand ard, officially recognized m the Courts, by which transactions in produce are governed. Another is that its sporting department is the recognized authority on all matters in its province, including horse news. As a family newspaper "The liecord" pays as much attention to utility as to entertainment. It publishes a great fund of inform ation helpful to the farmer. It carries an irresistable appeal to womankind in its departments devoted to fashions and house hold affairs. It prints more store news a matter of live interest to women than any other Philadel phia newspaper. (Its daily pal terns are thoroughly up-to-date and in great demand. It is, in brief, for a dozen reasons, indis pensable in the family circle, and clean enough to be entitled to the honored place it has won there. MARVELOUS DISCOVERIES mark the wonderful progress of the ago.
