Patriotism Viei With Easter.
Society people of Omaha concluded
Lent with two big tvenu, the pa
triotic dinner and meeting Saturday
evening and Easter dinner Sunday.
On the platform at the patriotic meet
ing were een the member of the
patriotic dinner parties at the Fonte
nelle and others, Mr. and Mrs. E.
S. Westbrook, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin
T. Swobe, Mr. and Mrs. Frank W.
iudson, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed,
Jr. and Mrs. Clement Chase, Mr.
and Mrs. Osgood Eastman, Mr. E. W.
Dixon, Mr. Charles Hull, Mr. Stock
ton Heth and many more. They were
among the most enthusiastic members
of the gathering and sang as lustily
and with as much feeling as if they
were in the choir at a Billy Sunday
revival meeting. After the meeting
there was little gayety, for the ma
jority of the patriots went seriousjy
to their homes, the fact that the sons
of our most prominent families are
volunteering for service brings home
the war situation to ail.
Last evening at the Fontenelle
flags and Easter lilies, at present
symbols of two such different senti
ments, were used as decorations. The
Easter hats of the fair diners were
chiefly the handsome shiny black
enes which "our best shops" show at
exclusive prices. The chill of tlie
evening, however, had made it neces
sary to combine with these new hats
heavy winter coats. All society was
present to enjoy the occasion and
to observe the cessation of Lent.
Miss Marion Kuhn with her fiance,
Mr. Clarence Griffin, and her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Kuhn, were
the center of much interest. Greet
ings were extended to Miss Kuhn
by all her friends and Mr. Griffin was
introduced to those at surrounding
tables. Only informal things are
planned for Mr. Griffin during, his
short stay.
With the Visitors.
Mr. Horace Williamson of New
York City, Mr. W. Gussenhoven of
Chicago. Mr. John Rowe of San Fran
cisco and Mr. and Mrs. William Gun
lock and baby of New York City were
the euests over Easter of Mr. and
Mrs. Andrew Murphy. Mrs. Gun
lock will remain "until the end of the
week, but will not be entertained dur
ing her stay because of the illness of
her baby. '
Miss Helen Wright of Chicago, who
came over from Chicago for a week
end visit with her aunt, Mrs. C. W.
Russell, returned last evening.
The tea which was to have been
given this afternoon by Mrs. Brandon
Howell in honor of Miss Jean Bur
roughs of Lincoln has been post
poned owing to Miss Burrougb's in
ability to come at this time. Mrs.
Howell will give an informal ken
sington tomorrow afternoon in honor

Preparedness Against Flies
One .warfare is never ended, and
that is the one against the housefly.
The summer campaign Is about to be
gin, and it should be waged with re-J matically keeping the solution always
lentless vigor. Only by keeping at it
all the time can the fly scourge be
held in check. Flies are dangerous;
the; are the link that connects the
unhealthy with the healthy. If you
would avoid disease, or the spread of
disease, kill the fly.
The United States government
makes the following suggestion for
the destruction of house flies. For
maldehyde and sodium salicylate are
the two best ttv poisons. Bom are
superior- to arsenic. They have their Kfte paper is alway9 kept moist
are not a poison to children; they are
convenient to handle, their dilutions
are simple and they attract the flies.
A formaldehyde solution of ap
proximately the correct strength may
be made by adding three teaspooniuls
of the concentrated formalehyde solu:
tion, commercially known as forma
lin, to a pint of water. Similarly, the
firoper concentration of sodium salicy
ate may be obtained by dissolving

(a powder) to a pint of water.
A container, such as shown above.
has been found convenient tor auto
available for flies to drink. An ordi
nary, thin-walled drinking glass is
filled or partially filled with the solu
tion. A saucer, or small plate, in
which is placed a piece of white blot
ting paper cut the size of the dish, is
put bottom up over the glass. The
whole is then quickly inverted, a
match is placed under the edge of
the glass, nd the container is ready
for use. As the solution dries out of
the saucer the liquid seal at the edge
of the glass is broken and more liquid
flews into the lower receptacle. Thus
Anv odor pleasing to man is of

will drive them away.
Take 5 cents worth of oil of laven

water, put it in a common glass atom
izer and spray, it around the rooms
where flies are. In the dining room
spray it lavishly even on the table

to flies, but refreshing to most people.

According to a French scientist,
flies have intense hatred for the color
blue. Rooms decorated jn blue will
help to keep out the flies.
Mix together one tablespoonful of
cream, one of ground black pepper
and one of brown sugar. This mix
ture is poisonous to flies. Put in a
saucer, darken the room except one
window, and in that set the saucer.
To clear the house of flies, burn
pyrethrum powder. This stupefies the
flies, but they must be swept up and
burned. .
