Vern Newels a Leader in Abating the Fly Nuisance.

Vern Nowels has joined .hands with Dr. Hurty in an effort to abate the fly nuisance. He has even gone the active state secretary of health one better by indulging in a practical scheme of demolition, while the Indianapolis man simply encourages others to do it. Vern has made a couple of fly traps. They are large and can accommodate many million flies. The traps work perfectly and are simple of construction and a sure catch and sure hold. A frame of light wood, about 30 Inches high and a foot square is enclosed about the sides and over the top with wire screening. A hole about 7 Inches in diameter is made in the bottom of the trap and a piece of wire bent cone shape runs to a point from the hole. A small aperature is left in the top of this cone. The trap Is mounted on legs and a plate of sugar and vinegar is set beneath the hole. The flies eat a little and then climb up the cone and are trapped. It works perfectly and a trap in the rear of his restaurant Thursday evening was literally filled with files. They were scalded/ It would be a fine thing if these traps I were used at every store.
