A French court has recently rendered
. judgment that Is of the highest Inter- ,
st to everybody -who wants to bo rid
of files as carriers of disease. This en
lightened court has decided that an un
clean garden Is a legal nulsanco and may
be suppressed on the complaint of nelgh-
nnd assembling of flies.
It was not for unslghtllncss, nor even
for bad odors, that tho court condemned
the garden which was tho subject of
the decision referred to, In what has al
ready become celebrated as J"the plague
of flics case," but the condemnation was
expressly based upon proof that the state
of the garden was such that It Increased
the number of files In tho neighborhood,
So, In France, at least, tho war on files
has received judicial sanction.
It Isprqbable Uja,t tho pourt, had bo
foro It eyes some such evidence of the
disease-carrying properties of flits as
is to be seen in the accompanying pic
tures. ' It took a long time to find out
what a really disgusting and dangerous
creature the house-fly Is. It la the most
innocent-looking of deceivers. It Is the
most companionable-seeming of poison
ers. It amuses us by Its antics while
trailing the spoils of Us unclean forag
ings over our persons and our food. Its
aBslduou'n toilette operations are a snare.
They are preparations for a. fresh de
bauch. The fly's god Is Beelzebub, and
the favored offering on Beelzebub's al
tar i filth!
These statements are based on scientific
facts. The common reputation of the fly
as a scavenger Is sufficient In Itself to
pronounce Its condemnation. For what
docs It do with tho products of Its
scavenging? It scatters them through
the house, In the kitchen. In the pantry.
Jn the bed rooms. If there Is sickness
tho family tho fly carries its germs
from the sick room to all partB of the
house. If there Is sickness at your neigh
bor's the fly brings it to you and your
children. These facts have been so thor
oughly established by scientific! study
that It Is folly to refuse to recognlzo and
to act upon them.
If you are lukewarm In this warfare
against flies look at the pictures and
you will be lukewarm no longer. Prob-
ably you have never noticed files' eggs.
Ihey are so small that you must use a
microscope In order to see their real
peculiarities. Each female fly lays on
the average 160 eggs. For her cradle
she selects a heap of garbage or refuse.
Tho eggs hatch Into minute maggots. In
five days the maggots turn Into little
chrysallds, or pupae, shaped like minia
ture beans. Within another five days
these give birth to flics, which develop
with amazing rapidity Into adult Insects,
and then the mischief begins.
Study tho marked parts of the fly In
the pictures. They show tho danger
points. The sticky footpads become
charged with germs from every foul sub
stance over which they walk. The bris
tling tongue, with Its padded ends, which
you have so often seen applied to all
kinds of dirt and refuse, becomes a poison
stick, infecting everything that it touches.
You may ask; yVhy do pot files them
selves catch the diseases "whoso germ
they carry nnd perish from them7 They
do catch many fatal diseases and do
perish In consequence, but the very fact
Increases the danger from them. They are
like smallpox patients let loose in the
community.
The greatest weapons in the war upon
flies are the scrubbing brush, the duet
less sweeper, the garbage burner and
every other device that produces or pro
motes cleanliness. The best fortifications
against them are made of wire gauze
screens and covers, protecting windows,
doors and all articles of food.
Hopeless as It looks to those who have
not earnestly tried it, the extermination
of the housefly Is a relatively easy
achievement, but It requires patience and
attention. The Increase of comfort alone
in a flyless neighborhood, to say nothing
of the security. Is a sufficient reward.

Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE MTItTAT
Don't Uc n Sneak.
Dear Miss Fairfax. The girl I love is
18 and I am 22. We have been friends for
years, and now our friendship has turned
into love. Her father strongly objects to
her having anything to do with any fel
low. I have told her we had better try and
bo governed accordingly, but we simply
can't. After being out with her she al
wants me to bring her right to her door
so her father can sec she has been out
with me. Her father scolds her, but she
seems not to mind It. Thinking I might
3et Into some trouble with her father, I
p not care to let him see me with her.
She told me if I loved her I would not
object. J. T. BARUADAL.E.
The girl Is quite right. If you see one
another do It openly, for If her father
finds you are a sneak he will object more
Mrongly than ever to his daughter's asso
ciating with you. While it he finds you
loyal to one another and open and above
board In your desire to be with one an
other he may relent.

Look Before You Leap
Are You
By DOROTHY DIX.
In a recent article upon tho perils of
matrimony I wroto these lines
"The only way to be happ though
married, Is to look before you leap, in
stead of crying,
when It's ton late
eiep (ha bump you
at,"
A man wrlina,
apropos of that
opinion, that he
will give a large,
handsome chromo
to anybody who
can furnish any
practical diagram
for looking a man
or a woman over
on the safe side ot
the altar so as to
avoid bumping the
the matrimonial
bumps.
That's easy. Of
course nobody Is
wise enough to bs able to tell abso
lutely what sort of it husband or wife
a man o; woman will make, because
matrimony Is the acid test of character,
and until It Is applied to an Individual
we never know for certain what la pinch
beck and what Is pure gold,
Matrimony doesn't change the char
acter of men and women It merely
brings out what Is strongest In them. It
turn good men and women Into ungels,
and It converts bad men and women Into
dovlls, and this being the case It doesn't
tukn any Sherlock Holmes to give a
pretty good guess at the kind of it hus
band or wife any particular maid or
bachelor will make. You have to ob
servo Ills or her most predominant traits
and multiply them by the common hap
penlgs of life.
Takn, for instance, the youth nho is a
lounger and a barroom loafsr, who hangs
about poolrooms and saloons and who
has noxcr done an honest day's work In
his life, and who sponges on his old
parents for a living. Can any girl glvo
him the once over without perceiving
that he will make the fcorl of a husband
who will always be loo tired to work
ami whoso wife will have lo take In
honrdora to support hhn?
Take the drunkard. Doei It require a
prophetic soul In a woman to sunnlsn
that the man who hus found surcease
for his worries In drink before marriage
Is going to drown his troubles In liquor
after marriage, when the day comes
when the liaby has the colic, und the wife
Is sick' and peevish, and when Instead ot
matrimony being a glad, sweet song, it
Is one grand howl?
Take the man who Is stingy. A girl
with eyes In her head ought to be able
to are whether a man has a Yale lock
on his pocketbonk ust ns well before
slm Is married to him ns afterward. The
ni.in wlit Is always l-aggllng over pen
nies, who Invariably uuys the cheapest
eratr. In the theater and takes a girl (o
the least expenshe restaurant and whose
talK Is of money, glvea her ample warn
ing that he Is golm; to make a tightwad
husband.
The man who has a high temper, and
who Is always getting miffed about
something, and who goes Into Jealous
races every time a girl Is civil to any
othrr man couldn't proclaim any louder,
if ho shouted through a megaphone, that
lit; would nuikii an unji'at. cruel and sus
picious husband that would make his
wife wish she were dead every day she
lived with him.
And the nian who looks upon women
with contempt, who sneers at them, and
who believe that a woman should be
nothing but a household slave. Can any
woman be fool enough to marry a man
like that and not know that she will get
a husband who wftl he a grinding tyrant
to her?
And tho tests lo apply to women are
equally obvious. Take the Uttle silly,
fluffy-haired girl who babbles like an
Infant. Can any man listen to her for
five minutes ami not know that ha who
marries her will get ,i fool for a wife,
and one who will bore him stiff when
her girlish beauty hau vanished
Take the girl who Is the daughter of
a poor man ,yt who is always dressed
like n fashion plate. Does It take any
wonderful power of deduction for a man
to reason It out that the girl whose
whole soul Is set on dress, and who Is
selfish enough to sacrifice her old father
to gratify her love of (Inery. will offer
up her husband on the aame altar?
Take the sir) who It noted for her cut
ting and sarcastic speeches. Does It take
a Solomon to put a man wise that her
husband will be the victim of her tongue
lashlngv Take the girl who la filled with am
bition and mad for a career, and who
hss already fought itir way to her first
success. Has her husband any right to
complain If she Is not satisfied to settle
down Into domesticity?
Take a girl who In Intelligent, and
sweet-tempered. Doesn't It follow logic
ully and Inevitably that sh will meet
the trials and tribulations of married Ufa
with good sense and pood temper?
Of course miracles do happen. Occa
sionally a bad man reforms and a good
woman goes wrong. A neurotic gets well
and a healthy person becomes an Invalid.
But these thnlgs do not happen often.
Ninety-nine times out of 100 what a main
and woman were before marriage they
are afttr marriage, only mora so.
It ta possible, even easy, to look be

will land you In heaven or the other
