METHODS TO BANISH FLIES.
To keep flies out of the house, put mignonette in your window flowerboxes, or hang up a bunch of thyme, sprinkled with essence of pennyroyal. Get some oil of sassafras, and put some on cotton wool, leaving it exposed on a saucer; this will rid you of all kinds of flies in a few minutes. To half a saucer of milk, into which a few grains of sugar have been sprinkled around the edge, add one teaspoonful of formalin. This will be found most effective.
