In view of the fact that business is quiet and that the most dire prophesies had been made in regard to the prospective payments, it is very satisfactory to know that the ratepayers still have faith in the city and are holding on to their property with a view to increases in value at no great distance in the future. Most Prince Rupert people are quits as well satisfied as ever that before long there will be a decided revival of business here. It may not come in 1931 but there should be a slight improvement very soon. Owing to the low price of fish, to the condition of the lumber market and to the slump in silver and other metals, the district has been very hard hit. No one industry has suffered alone. It has been a general condition throughout the country. L X. SUMMER TIME-FLY TIME ! No one is physically afraid of a fly because it can do no actual hurt of itself. It has, however, many bad .'habits which make it a dangerous insect to the human race. When a fly eats, it steps into the fbod and not only eats all it wishes but covers legs, body:arid'ings. In this way it may collect a few typhoid germs from a yard-toilet, or tubercle bacilli from an open cuspidor. It then next alights on some article of food such as the milk pitcher, fruit or vegetables, bread or cake, or the baby's bottle. After that it is only a short time till some individual, old or young, is infected. Once the fly enters the home, it is impossible to provide protection from the germs which may enter with the insect. It is necessary, therefore, to take such measures as will not only keep the flies outside but reduce their number in the neighborhood to a minimum. The prevention of fly breeding may be assured by the elimination of its breeding places. This requires the proper care of stable manure and the removal or disinfection of other decomoosinrr refuse such as earbacre. wet naners and a - aj Cj i - - rubbish of all sorts. The treatment of manure and other refuse with chemical disinfectants for the prevention of fly breeding is a development of recent years and progress has been rapid. Flies love the garbage pail, so this receptacle should always be kept tightly covered. Flies breed in almost any rotting or fermenting matter. They oreed in any kind of dung. Decaying grains, rotting fruit or vegetables, waste cotton or woolen garments, sacking and paper all furnish admirable breeding places when the materials are moist and warm and especially when mixed with ashes or earth.
