Did yoo know I had many eyes that are put together to make one? | With these I can see oo all sides, and I so I am very hard to catch.

"People have some stuff, too, that they put in water and pnt In their bedrooms. They call It formalin, but I keep away from It as It Is sure death. ? "The worst trouble I hare is where the people screen their booses and keep their yarda clean so w* can't get anything to eat. "Our worst danger la not the carbolic add or fly paper and such things, though, for after we are once hatched they can nerer kill us all off, bat If they start irat to destroy our breeding places? the manure pile and other filth ? we will M>on be gone from the earth.

Topoka. 1 am a fly I'm ma very old and am Just learning where to tlnd the beat things to eat My favorite places are In tbe spittoon in the sitting room and the uncovered garbage can op tbe back porrb. Of course kome flies Would be bothered about bating to go oat Of doors to get to that can. Bnt it doesn't worry me. In tbe boose where I live there aren't any screens, so I can fly from tbe jar base can to the spittoon in perfect safety. 1 often stop on tbe way. though. to set in tbe sugar bowl or crawl over any eatables that are handy. There's a baby in this bouse who an noys me very much. Every time I leave the spittoon and crawl into that baby's mouth it- cries and aplts me out. Of <*ourse I leave a few tuberculosis germs In its mouth, but it doesn't seem j like that would hurt the baby. It seems to wo like people don't know ! v.- bat is good to eat. At least tbe peo- ! pie in this bouse don't. Why. they throw away all the Rood things. They 1 put tbem in tbe garbage pail. 1 am endeavoring to show them what good | things are. however, for I get my feet j all sticky in the garbage can and then j go and wipe them ou tbe bread. About a hundred of my companions are do- i lug tbe same thing. I really believe I that tbe people are beginning to like It. j for they uever trouble us any more. | We wipe our feet on tbe bread in peace and quiet. 1 heard the woman across the way I say that she believed flies had some thing to do with the man in this house having consumption. 1 wonder if be got it from, tbe bread Tbe woman across tbe way is losing all ber flies They're all coming over to our house She won't give them anything to eat. She covers up her garbage pail, has tight screens on all ! ber door* and Is a terror to flies in gen eral. Her children are such happy, hearty youngsters, while tbe children in this house are always cross. They ' never get any afternoon nap. The flies wpn't lef..ihem. There's a very great deal of illness in this house. Two of the boys have malaria and tbe father is never well. I heard tbe mother say to the woman across the way: -1 realty do not know what to do for all this sickness. It drives me distracted." What do yon think that woman said? Why, "Swat tbe fly." of course, at which I docked Oh. yes: The baby has tbe typhoid THIS IS WHERE THE FLY BREEDS? STOP IT fl'oo in tho manurt pit now mean a million in your homo noxt August.
