MORE ABOUT HrE HOUSE FLY

OF interest the present widespread discussion Of the
peserous house fly is the following vigorous editorial
comment from the columns Of the Fort Worth Record:
aThe menace Of the fly is SO tarreachng from the fact
that no matter how sanitary the home may be and how
far removed from conditions productive Of the deadly
germs if the far travelling fly nvades the domicile all
previous precauon Is nulihed And though BY perfect
screening the fly is kept out Of the house still
compshes his deadly mission by hayinb in contact
with the family food stuff while on display the grocery
or market Full understanding Of this condition has brought
about two lines Of campaign In several Of the cities
movements are foot to prevent food dealers from
exhibiting fruits and vegetables the open sidewalk thus
exposed to the CRIME dust Of the street and require
them instead to have all food sus kept in fyproof
tainers The other part the the eradication Of
the breeding places Of the insects Flies liable be
bred great numbers in all unsanitary places but the
special source from which they spring are stables and
rigorous measures are being taken concerning the santa.
ton and disposition Of the refuse from all stables.
Scientists assure the public that in time the fly by
proper methods will be utterly eradicated but
psh this there must be earnest and active cooperation
importance that is would seem unnecessary to urge it
upon the people Of any community While breeding places
for flies are permitted to continue and SO long food
suffs are left for free contamination by the insects the
