Will, in his in- imitable fashion, described the politicians as elected with cheers one year and "chucked" out with jeers the next, but the minister, by his transparent sincerity, got
hold of the hearts of the people in another way. He illustrated his point by a reference to Wool- wich.
Wilson, he said, contests an election twice every Sunday and wins every time.

Flies Are Children's Deadliest Enemies!
HE fly 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 sammer diarrhea and other intestinal disturbances in children. The fly lays its eggs in filth and, born in dirt and refuse, it comes direct to man to poison him and his food. Under the microscope can be seen its six hairy legs laden with flith and millions of discasc germs.
Flit spray clears the house in a few minutes of disease bearing flies, 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. For sale everywhere.
