It i" well-known that dysentry, infantile diorrhoea, typhoid, and tuberculosis have been carried by flies and it has been demonstrated that flies may be the possible spreaders of infantile paralysis. They breed in filth, they feed on filth, and pass directly from the foulest of flth to human food, carrying bacteria and particles of decomposing matter on their hairy bodies and sticky feet and mouths,: Yet they are tolerated in some homes and in some shops offering human iood and fruit for sale. The most effective method of bating the house fly is to destroy its breeding places. This is best done through community aetion involving the proper care and disposal ure, garbage and other waste materials. A leaflet outlining the' methods to employ may be obtained free of charge from the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. It is especially important to protect foodstuffs from contamination, by flies. Doors and windows should be r.roperly screened and flies that vade the home in spite of this should be promptly killed. new insecticide has been discovered by the code letetrs DTD which when sprayed in a five per cent solution in kerosene on the interior walls of stables, barns arid other buildings remain effective as fly killer for several weeks, present this is only available for military use in protecting the armed iorces overseas from disease-carrying insects of various kinds. After he war it will be a valuable addition to the civilian's armory of weapons In the fight against the insects. CO-OPERATIVE COURSE IN HOMEMAKING Women who have been in the ser-ces, in war industry and the English wives of Canadian soldiers who have to become adjusted to the ways of this country comprise three gorups who will need^.special help, if they are to establish "the satisfactory homes so important to reconstruction in the post war period,:'. The Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society has been contributing an unique service, through certain of its larger branches during the past two decades, and it is hoped that this service may be.extended to other areas, to meet post war problems. There is to be a co-operative course of intensive training in homemakjng in Toronto, September 11 to 23, under the auspices of the Ontario Division of Red Cross and the Toronto Visiting Homemakers Association. Miss Nesta Hinton, supervisor of Nutrition for the former, and Miss Marjorie Bell who directs the latter organization, have planned an excellent program of instruction. Speakers will include the noted child psychologist, Dr. W. E. Blatz, as well as representatives of the Victorian Order of Nurses, Catholic Welfare Bureau and the Hospital for Sick Children. Those wishing to take the course should contact their nearest Red Cross Branch, or write Miss Hinton, 621 Jarvis Street, Toronto. VISITORS TO. U.S.A. "Canadians planning to spend their holidays in the U. S. this summer vhen border-crossing restrictions are more simplified, need riot take their ration books out of the country with them," said Fred C. Butt, Ontario Superintendent of rationing,. Upon entry into the U.S., visitors om this country will be supplied with ratio: points if they apply to the nearest War Price and Rationing Board in the city or town where they are holidaying. Points adequate for J the duration of their stay will be provided, Mr. Butt explained. "If Canadian visitors plan to remain :'n the U. S. more than will be given a regular Am< ration book, but under the stances, they must turn in adian ration book to the here." "Visitors to the U. S. than 60 days may also apply for canning sugar allowance in that country." CHRISTMAS GIFTS MAIL CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR OVERSEAS FORCES SEPT. 15 -- OCT. 25 "Do not open until Christmas!" That exciting phrase should soon be making its appearance on parcel mail despite the fact that many places in Canada are just recovering from the hottest spell on record. Postmaster General William P. Mulock advises that it,,is time to make plans for Christmas gift parcels to members of the Armed Forces Overseas. The Christmas mailing period this year is September 15--October 25. Naturally parcels sent to those serving in the more remote theatres of war should be sent the earliest. Suggested "deadline" mailing dates are : September 15--The far East, India, Burma, Ceylon, etc. October 5--The Middle East area : Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc. October 10--Central Mediterranean Forces.

Last Christmas season (Oct., Nov., ■Dec.) over 12,000,000 lbs. of parcel mail alone were respatched to the Forces Overseas from Canada. This year an even greater volume i: peered. Therefore, early mailing is necessary to enable Postal offiicals to cope with the handling, and to carry out arrangements for transportation on trains and ships. Remember that cargo space is still at a premium. Bear in mind this year that the mail must travel greater distances--many of our troops are farther afield--on different fronts fighting under the conditions of mobile warfare--plenty of time must be allowed between mailing and delivery. Picture the chaos if everyone should wait until the last minute to mail. Postal thorities would be faced with the impossible task of providing sufficient space aboard the last ships leaving iri time to ensure Christmas delivery. The result would mean a cheerless Christmas Day for thousands overseas looking forward to getting their Christmas gifts in time. A suggestion to further help our boys and girls on Active Service receive their gifts from home is to voluntarily cut down, as far as possible on the size of the package, even though the maximum weight at the special rate of 12 cents per pound is 11 lbs.. This will enable authorities to_ ship a greater number of parcels in the cargospace available. The bitter disappointment caused 'fef^late arrival of Christmas gifts can be spared our Fighting Services too if citizens will give the most careful attention to correct addressing and proper packing. Last Christmas season thousands of parcels were received at the Base Post Office in a dam-condition. They had to be set tside for repair or readdressing in order that they might be safely sent to destination. This caused delay and extra work for the Postal Corps. The longer the distance a parcel must travel under wartime conditions to reach its destination at a battle front, the more imperative is careful packing. Each parcel should be carefully packed in corrugated shock proof containers, the contents compact so that they will not shake loose and break out of the package. Then the parcels should be wrapped in several layers of wrapping paper, and se curely tied with strong twine. On no acocunt should "Shoe Boxes' be used as containers--they easily crush and break. Avoid using fancy coloured Christmas paper as an outside wrapper, or coloured ribbon to tie. For added security parcels may be sewn in strong cotton or similar fabric. Any substance likely to leak, spread and damage the mails ,if sent at all, must be enclosed in sealed metal containers with lids securely soldered on--then surrounded with absorbent material in corrugated cardboard and securely wrapped and tied. Fresh fruits, grapes, pears,etc, or other items likely to spoil are not acceptable.

The mailing of matches, safety matches, lighter fluid or any other inflammable substance is prohibited by law. A complete Customs Declaration should be attached to each parcel. All mail should be fully and clearly addressed in ink, without misleading abbreviations. Place a return address on the cover of each parcel and also a slip among the contents giving the name and address of the sender and the complete Armed Forces address that appears on the parcel. Prepay all mail correctly. By refraining from writing to a member of the Armed Forces that gifts are being sent, until actually mailed, much worry can be saved the soldier. Do not disappoint our men by mailing too late for Christmas delivery. Person's who MAIL EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS to the Armed Forces can rest assured that the .authorities will do everything possible to make delivery on time.
