The infantile paralysis\nepidemic wnich took such toll of young lives in New York last\nsummer is believed by many to have been spread by house flies,and\nthe people of the American metropolis have inaugurated a campaign\nagainst the noxious insects. THE MINER has received from Jthe\nMerchants' Association of New York a circular which we consider\nworthy of reproduction in part. Under the heading \"Kill Flies and\nSave Lives\", the publication says:\nKill at once every fly you can find and burn his body.\nObservers say that there are many reasons to believe there\nwill be more flies this season than for a number of years.\nThe killing of just one fly NOW means there will be billions\nand trillions less next summer.\nClean up your premises; see and insist that your neighbors\ndo likewise.\nEspecially clean \"out-of-the-way places,\" and every nook\nand cranny.\nFlies will not go where there is nothing to eat, and their\nprincipal diet is too filthy to mention.\nThe fly is the lie that binds the unhealthy to the healthy.\nThe fly. has no equal as a germ \"carrier\"; as many as live\nhundred million germs have been found in and on the body of\na single fly.\nit is definitely known that the fly is the \"carrier\" of the\ngerms of typhoid fever; it is widely believed that it is also the\n\"carrier of other diseases,including possibly infantile paralysis.\nThe very presence of a fly is a signal and notification that\na housekeeper is uncleanly and inefficient.\nDo not wait until the insects begin to pester; anticipate the\nannoyance.\nApril', May and June are the best months lo conduct an\nanti-fly campaign.\nThe farming and suburban districts provide ideal breeding\nplaces, and the newborn flies do not remain at their birth place\nbut migrate, using railroads and other means of transportation\nto towns and cities.\nKill flies and save lives!\nRECIPES FOR KILLING FLIES\nThe United Slates government makes the following\nsuggestion for the destruction of house-flies: Formaldehyde and\nsodium salicylate are the two best fly poisons. Both are superior\nto arsenic. They have their advantages for household use.\nThey are not poison to children; they are convenient to handle,\ntheir dilutions are simple, and they attract the flies.\nA formaldehyde solution of approximately correct strength\nmay be made by adding three tablespoon fills of concentrated\nformaldehyde solution, commercially known as formalin, to a\npint of water. Similarly, the proper concentration id' sodium\nsalicylate may be obtained by dissolving three teaspoon fills of\nthe pure chemical (a powder) lo a pint of water. A container\nas described below has been found convenient for automatically\nkeeping the solution always available for flies to drink, An\nordinary thin-walled drinking glass is filled, or partially filled,\nwith the solution. A saucer, or small plate, in which is placed\na piece of WHITE blotting paper cut to the size of tin' dish, is\nput bottom up over the glass. Tin' whole is then quickly\ninverted, a match placed under the edge of the glass, and the\ncontainer is ready for use. As the solution dries out o!'the\nsaucer the liquid seal at the edge of the glass is broken ami\nmore liquid flows into the lower receptacle. Thus the paper is\nalways kept moist.\nAny odor pleasing to man is offensive to the fly and vice\nversa, and will drive them away.\nAccording to a French scientist, flies have intense hatred\nfor the color blue. Rooms decorated in blue will help to keep\nout the flies.\nMix together one tablespoonful of cream, one of ground\nblack pepper and one of brown sugar. This mixture is poisonous\nto flies. Put in a saucer, darken the room except one window\nand in that set the saucer.\nTo clear the house of flies burn pyrethrum powder. This\nstupefies the flies, but they must be SWEPT UP and BURNED.\nBorax is especially valuable around farms and out rf doors.\nOne pound of borax to twelve bushels of manure will be found\ndesirable as a poison without injuring its manurial qualities or\nfarm stock. Scatter the borax over the manure and sprinkle\nwith water.\nLye.chloride of lime.or copperas (sulphate of iron) dissolved\nin water, crude carbolic acid, or any kind of disinfectant, may\nbe used in vaults.\nU. B. C. COURSES\nFOR PROSPECTORS\nThe University of British Columbia put on short courses in\nmining and allied subjects early\nin 1917, which lasted for six\nweeks. Twenty-eight students\nenrolled for the various courses,\nincluding prospectors, miners,\nbusiness men and others,of whom\ntwo were ladies. Attendance\nwas kept up remarkably well and\nthe students showed keen interest and enthusiasm. The result\ndemonstrated that the courses fill\na definite want, so they will be\ncontinued next year.\nThe courses given included\nmining, smelting and milling,\ngeology, mineralogy, surveying,\nassaying, blacksmithing. Next\nyear the course will be lengthened to eight weeks, and a course\nin chemistry will be added. Particulars will appear in the regular\nUniversity calendar for the session of 1917-18 and Ihe courses\nwill be given at the University\nin Vancouver.probably beginning\nabout January 15, 1918. It is\npossible that they may be extended to other centers of the province, either the coming year or\n'later as the University staff shall\nincrease sufficiently to conduct\nthem.\nThey are completed courses in\nthemselves, having nothing to do\nwith the regular University curriculum,and requiring uo entrance\nexamination. A registration fee\nof $5 is the only charge made.\nThey are specially designed to\nsuit the needs of Ihe prospector\nand apply particularly io conditions in British Columbia.\nLand for Veterans;\nLondon, April 16:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe Canadian representatives have submitted definite plans to the Empire\nLand Settlement Committee dealing with soldiers and other service men. They dissented from\nthe idea of the representatives of\nthe more distant Dominions that\nall discharged soldiers should be\npooled and allotted to several\ncountries by a central committee\nin London.\nThe Canadian federal proposals\nplaced before the committe yesterday offered 160 acres of Crown\nland and also a loan of $1500 for\nhouse, barn and implements, repayment to extend over 15 years.\nThe plan, which is to be worked under a Canadian settlement\nboard,composing three members,\napplies to honorably discharged\nsoldiers and sailors who enlisted\nfor the present war, whether\ndomiciled in Canada or els( where\nin the British Empire at the outbreak of the war; also lo widows\nwhose husbands died on active\nservice.\nIt is believed the scheme will\nprove highly attractive to many\nHritish ex-soldiers. Provinces\nowning their own lands can make\ntheir own additional plans. Doubtless arrangements can be made\nto ensure a careful selection here\nand thus avoid unsuitables.\nMexico City: Carranza, in a\nfour-hourspeech,stated that Mexico would be neutral in the war.\nSan Francisco: The Japanese\nadmiralty says there are no Hun\nsubmarines in the Pacific.\nLondon: Turkish troops in\nMesopotamia are steadily retreating before the advancing British,\nwho meet but slight opposition.\nBuenos Aires: Argentina has\ntaken possession of all German\ninterned ships.\nIF YOU CAN'T FIGHT\nYOU CAN AT LEAST\nSTAND BEHIND THE\nMAN WHO FIGHTS\nFOR YOU!\nTHE CANADIAN PATRIOTIC FUND\nWhich assists the wives and families of Canada's gallant\nsoldiers, requires millions of dollars to keep the soldiers'\nhome fires burning.\nDistrict Treasurer: Stephen H.
