PHILIPS Prepare to,Flat the Swy deg par- dttia—Swat .. the FIy i Flaying the ntgsca domestica in a vulnerable spot will again be AmerIca's leading Dimity circle sport this summer, and already swat committees are gettingtogether and preparing the Swat campaigns, . Thesummer fly oasualties are ex- pected to be unprecedentedly heavy. Last, year revised returns showed 200,000,000,354,657,234 flies were slain without warning. The total easuat-, ties fey 1919 were 200,000,000,345,- 6$7,230., From these figures it can readily be seen that the net ' gain for 1920 was but four flies, in other words, the country barely held its own againsf fhe flies. But this year the swat boards are confi- dent of a tremendous gain. For the past few years our people have been too busy to ,go into fly swatting ex- tensively. For this ` year so many people : are out of work, that the flies will be outnumbered. in fact, a great proportion of the people will have less work to do than the flies. This in itself is a great ad- vantage. But there is the danger of over- confidence, as Napoleon pointed out. (Of course Napoleon didn't swat flies, but think what would 'have happened to them if he had!) Just now the problem is to arouse the people to an appreciation of the importance of the swat movement. Some rather nifty slogans, it seems to us, such as are an essential feature of all drives and campaigns, are need- ed. For instance. "BEA 100 PER CENT FLY SWMF- TER I" "SWAT TILL LL IT i•i U RToi", • (,Tllis'refers, of course, to the fly.) "NEVER PUT OFF UNTIL TO -MOR- ROW THE FLY" YOU CAN SWAT TO- DAY! "YOU WILL SWAT A FLY ,NENT- UALLY—WHY NOT NOW?" • "CANADA EXPECTS EVERY FLY SWATTER TO DO HIS DUTYI". "INVEST! BUY A FLY SWATTER TO -DAY." "SWAT AND THE WORLD SWATS WITH YOU; TRUSp` THE PLYPAPER AND YOU WEEP ALONE. "THE FLY KNOWS SWAT'S SWAT; DO YOU?" (Rather catchy, that last one, if you get what we mean.) • "SAINT WITH SWATTERS!' Step up, Swat Committees, and take your pick) Almost any one will look particularly appealing inscribed on a huge poster depicting a common citi- zen leaping from the sideboard to the hanging chandeliers in frenzied pur- suit o'f the Fly That Has Struck Him Out for the Third Time in Succession. Let us all get behind the movement .and the fly! Spring is well under way, and the little pests with the ground -gripper, non-skid feet, and the ail -seeing eyes will soon be in our midst, and other places. Remember that while a fly seems a little thing, it is the little things of life that count. A fly produces something like 3,000,- 000,000 eggs a day. And each egg is a three-minute egg. At 3 o'clock it's an egg. At 3.03 it's a fly, Swat Early and Avoid the Rush! ITEMS OF INTEREST TO PUBLIC - According to statistics compiled in 1.918,"the teachers in,the elementary and secondary school§ under public control in Canada numbered 54,023., The pupils in the elementary and Secondary schools under public con- trol in Canada in 1918 numbered 1,667,672.

The largest lake in Manitoba is Lake Winnipeg, having an area of 9,459 square miles; being almost as large as the portion of Lake "Saperior in Ont- ario. keeeje Grandma is Their act t160N an old - fashioned bureau, in a house I know, lies a large-sized New Testament with the binding well worn, and with it a much -used old copy of Dr. Chase's Receipt Book. When the calves have the colic or the neighbor's baby the ear- ache, `Grandma' hands out 0e11 -assimilated advice from the Dr. Chase Book. When `Grandma' herself feels 'run- down,' Dr. Chasmst s Nerve Food stands ready on the dining -room table among the salt and pepper shakers. " _ In these few simple words Mrs. Bert Smith, Way's fiviills, Que., beautifully de- scribes the way in which grandmother is a ci many a blessing to her family and to r her neighbors as a guardian of health. And what finer compli- ment can be paid to Dr. Chase's Receipt Book and Dr. Chase's Medicines than the approval of such moth- ers of experience as the one here described. Just as in this home, Dr. Chase's Almanac hangs on the wall in the great major- ity of Canadian homes, and in the cupboard or medicine chest will be found one or more of Dr. Chase's Medi- cines ready for use in case of emergency. If you dfiti not receive a copy of Drs Chase's Almanac it will be sent free by.

THANKFUL MOTHERS Once a mother has used Baby's Owtt Tablets for her little ones she would use nothing else. The Tab- lets give such results that moth- er has nothing but words of praise and thankfulness for them. Among the thousands of mothers throughout Canada who , praise the Tablets is Mrs. David A. Anderson, New 61as- gow, N.

HOUSEKEEPERS CORNER In The Kitchen For absorbing odors when cooking cabbage, ham, onions, or anything which has a strong odor, put a small pan of vinegar on the stove and there will be no scent of cooking. To clean strainers and sieves rub with coarse salt, and theft pour boiling water through them. To prevent a ladder front slipping paste pieces of old rubber over each support; this will protect the floors and evert many a fall. If cheese is wrapped in a cloth mois- tened with vinegar it willmrieither dry nor' -meld. When a dish is to be set directly on ice place a rubber fruit jar ring under it to prevent it from slipping off. To remove scorch spots wet the scorched portion with clean water and sprinkle with borax. It will remove the scorch and leave no stain .and may be used on the most delicate fabrics. Home-made sanitary• a duster. Di o P piece of soft black cotton lit thin melt- ed paraffin and let dry. This will hold the dust so it will not scatter again. A practical use for old stockings.

This.rejeetlon was not because they knew Him too well, but because they knew Ilim not at all. His country- men ountrymen judged Him by Ills brothers, sis- ters, Lind father, and therefore failed to know Him. • iI. "My Father Worketh Hitherto, and I Work" (:John 5:17), Jesus had on the Sabbath day healed an Impotent man. They sought to kill Illm for thisgood deed, and when lie linked himself with Gori In this they more earnestly sought to kill Hint. They tried to lyltl Illm be- cause He made himself equal with God. The special points of equality with God were: 1. GlvIng life to the dead. No hu- man being has ever been able to raise another front die dead. The Jews rightly interpreted IIis claim to being able to raise the deed ns a claim to Deity. 2. Judging mankind. No human be- ing is wise enough to judge his fellow being, Christ's claim to be the judge of mankind they interpreted to be MIs claim to Deity, and they were correct. III. The Man Who Will Not Work Should Not Eat (1I Thess. 3:0-13). There had developed among the Christians at Thessalonica a tendency to idleness. Some were neglecting their lawful earthly callings—even to the extent that they were becoming a charge to the church. Prom the con- text of the Thessuloniun epistles it would seem that this serious condi- tion was the result of wrong views concerning the secoud coming of Christ. Such as this is wholly ,wrong and absolutely contrary to the signifi- cance of "the blessed hope." The at- titude of those possessing an Intel- ligent view of the Lord's coming as taught by Christ and the apostles, is earnest attentton to the present duty. "Occupy till I come," is Christ's star - gazers charge. Speculative St g s have brought this precious doctrine Into disrepute. Unceasing fidelity to all the responsibilities of the present is the Correct attitude of those who are waiting for the Son from heaven. To correct this wrong, Paul— o. Asserts his authority to com- mand (i'. 13). This authority was given him by Christ. 2, Commends them to withdraw from those who thus walk disorderly (v. 0). 3. Paul's example (vv. 7-0). Paul pressed with great earnestness the doctrine of the Lord's return, and yet consistently continued in Ole lawful calling, In order to not be chargeable unto them he labored with great earnestness night and day. 4. Those who will not work should not eat (v. 10). This Is the right principle upon which to hose all works of charily. It Is the efficient cure for pauperism. The right economic order has as its foundation principle: Work in order to eat. This should apply to all elnssos, rich and poor. 5, Busybodies exhorted (vvs11, 12). Idle men and women always become busybodies, Paul's t,xhnrtutlun Is that they with quietness worle and eat their own bread. Man's Glory. Man's glory lies in his 'striving after the best; his shame, in contentment with the second rate.
