ARE BEST' TRAVELERS Half Humorous and Half Serious Discussion-Made oT"Why is a Ely ?" : i WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.?At tb< "Communky Comfort" session of'ths American Civic Association, Dr Woods Hutchinson delivered a hall htimerbus. half serious address on the question, "Why is a Fly?" "No longer to be dismissed with a contemptous 'shoo,' but an influence to he rekoned with, -the fly is- hustler from way back," said the speaker, "and be distributes samples of pe3 tilence, marked D. O. D. 'Uaacti on Delivery' with a lavish hand. . "We may admire him for his industry, pertinacity and business enterprise.; . we may even love him,? lukewarmly,?as one of God's creatures'; but we had better wipe him ^ gently but firmly out of existence Just the same." He is the best traVel' ing salesman known, ' carries . a grip on each of his six legs, and a trunk in his head. His line of samples is extensive and will last trSm time to eternity. He Is more of a nurseryman and tree agent than anything else, and only one whose seeds and - cuttings bear blossoms and fruit ' equal to the pictures in the catalogue. In fact they bloom, never fading;?on the other side of the Jordon, or rathev : translate you to b)oom there." m j Among the specialties of the fly. Dr. Mutchinson mentioned: "Bacillus Typhosus; (Ebertli) hardly lwrennial, seldom known to winter, kills even in Alaska, heavy crop, pro' duces 3.000 deaths annually In the United States. !> Value of lives de' stroyed, $100,000,000. One fifth of all who grow It guaranteed never to grow any other. Blossom, rose colored all over abdomen and chest. Fruit, cherry red deepening to black all through the Intestines. No difficulty in disposing of the surplus to your neighbors. A splendid variety for both city and country trade. Strong, well rooted specimens, carefully selected from sewer months, now reedy for delivery, F. O. F.?Free on Food." He continued In the style-of a seed catalogue, d?ier">ing Cytoryctes Varlolne, otherwise small pox, as a half hardy annual, now very rare though formerly a great favorite. Baccillus Tuberculosis is a half hardy perennial and old favorite, but delicate, easily sun blistered and will not grow in strong rich soils.

No trouble ut all to grow; all that is as guaranteed by the ceusus bureau. ; needed Is a baby, a little dirt, plenty of carelessness, and flies will do the , rest." And so on through a grim and ghastly travesty of a 'seedman's catalogue Dr. Hutchinson proceeded, concluding with this warning: "A fly in the house is as dangerous as a rattlesnake, as illthy as a louse, as disgraceful as a bedbug. The time will come when any. modern cleanly home will fed itself ashamed and disgraced by the presence of a fly, and when every householder upon whose premises a brood of flies is detected, will be fined heavily and sent to Jail. The flv Is ?h? literal 'Bye of the T-ord,' because he is in every place beltold' Ing evil and the good, especially the evil, for he loves to lay eggs in it. You can't hide dirt from' a fly. He is 1 also the most intimate and domestic . animal we breed and Keep." An ounce of cleanness is worth a ton of fly miner and ivlre-sereons.
