To the Public and Home
Owners in Particular
The fly, the pest which caused
more sickness and disease in
general every year than all other
pests combined, is nere again
to cause us endless trouble and
annoyance, also .to carry filth
from outside sources to our kitch-
ens and bed rooms.
To eliminate the full grown fly
is a task of gigantic proportion:
in fact no matter how many
"fly swatters" and how much
"tanglefoot" we employ we can-
not hope to get them all.
But we can eliminate their
prolific breeding to a market ex-
tent by adopting sanitary mea-
sures. Screen your 'home and
make judicious and frequent ap-
plications of Snew Duft Cerbol-
zed Disinfectant Lime on gar
bage heaps, manure piles, sta-
ble?, cow lots, out houses, etc.
This will make these intenai'le
as breeding places.
Lime is .only 406 per sack.
screen doors can be bought as
$1,00 and galvinized wire as
cheap as 2 l-2c per square feet.
Sanitarily yours,

Temple 4; Bartlett 3
Bartlett Buffered another de-
feat Wednesday from the Tem
pie team, the score being 3 and 4.
Both Bides played good ball, and
by rights Bartlett was due the
game, as everyone could plainly
see. However, Umpire Miller
couldn't see it that way. The
Tribune is indeed sorry that the
boys didn't get a fair and square
deal. But it's useless to "beef"
about it. The Middle Texas Lea
gue hires their umpires, and of
course don't know what one is
untila game of which he calls
has been recorded, but if he is
ignorant of base ball, and of a
big robust build, we are sure
that headqbarters will ask him
to Vback to the cactas". Presi-
dent Blum called1 umpire Miller
in after this game.
Yesterday's Ball Game
It took 10 innings of base ball
yesterday to decide the winner
of the Temple-Bartlett game. It
was a fast game, and was wit-
nessed by a good crowd, and the
chance for either side to win was
beginning to look slim, when
an error on one side and Tutting
on the other won the game for
Temple. Score 2-3.
