Flies Are Children's Deadliest Enemies!
THE ily is the greatest murderer known. Thousands of babies died last year a result of diseases carried to them by flies. Flies are largely responsible for summer diarrhea and other intestinal disturbances in children, The fly lays its eggs in fith and, born in dirt and refuse, it comes direct to than to poison him auil his food. Under the microscope en be seen its six hairy legs laden with fith and millions of disease germs.
Flit spray clears the house in a few minutes of disease bearing lies, mos quitoes, bed bugs, cockroaches, ants, moths, fleas and silverfish. It searches out the cracks where insects hide and breed, destroying their eggs. Flit spray kills moths and their larvae which eat holes. Extensive tests showed that Flit spray did not stain the most delicate fabrics. Flit is clean and easy to use, death to insects but harmless to mankind. It is economy to use Flit and avoid disease.

The fact that Attorney-General McCall kunws the inner workings of the order has made it possible for him to level deadly blows. Te kas ordered its members, into Court and sent them to jail when they refused to come.
He has searched the Klaverna of local organisations and the homes of Klan officials. He has seized records, correspondence. regalia, and paraphernalia.
Which Law is to Stand?
The question now Is whether the Klan is, superior to the law in Alabama., Cecil Davis, a former State Klan officer, when called before a Crenshaw County grand ing at Luverne, bluntly declared thal Klan law was superior to Alabama law, and refused to ans. we questions because "my oath He as a Klansman prevents me." was sent to jail for five days, and boasted that he would be free in 24 hours by action of Governor Graves But this hope" was in. vai, and he served the sentence.
Kinn leaders are striving desperately to find some way of pacifying McCall and calling him of. As yet they have found no way, and apparently there is little likelihood that they will, as McCall comes more and more to cn- appréciate the wide-spread dorsement given by the State to his prosecution.
the
In his resignation from Klan, Mr. McCall said:-I regard. my oath as an officer of the law

But the Davis incident is proof positive to the Birmingham News that many members of the Klan place their oath of allegiance to the hooded order ahend of their outh of allegiance to the State. It has remained for Davia-to veal in all its nakedness the pre- tensions of this hooded organisa- tion, points out the Birmingham Age-Herald. He refuses to full his duty to the State because he owes a higher duty to the Klan.
Says the Chicago Tribune of Mr. Davis's refusal to answer the grand jury's questions:-An or ganisation that exacts such an obligation is outlaw and seditious, and its claims to be a protector of Americanism are bogus. It does not express American ideals and principles, but repudiates them. The Klan does not re- present Americanism, but its op- posite. It represents the Ignor- ance and intolerance which per- sists in spite of Americanism.
