DANGERS OFTHEHOUSEFLY
The Civic Improvement society
of Woodstock, VT, has issued a
circular regarding the dangers
of the common house fly.
1t states that IS per cent of
all house flies n born in horse
manure and in warm weather
they will hatch in five hours into
maggots which form lasts three
days. Then comes the pupa form
from which they fly forth ready
to lay eggs in eight days from
their own egg stage. It can
readily be seen that it would be
much easier to kill the flies be-
fore they have wings. This can
be done by scattering chloride of
lime over the manure, but this is
costly.
Carrying the manure away and
placing it in large piles will kill
most of them. AS eight days
are sufficient to develop a full
grown fly allhorse manure should
be removed twice a week.
The common house fly walking
through privies and cess pools
picks up the germs of typhoid
fever, cholera and consumption
on it's hairy legs. 1t then enters
the home for warmth and food
and deposits the germs on dishes
or in food it walks over, thus car
rying disease to well persons.
This was demonstrated in the
camps at Chattanooga in the be-
ginning of the Spanish American
war. Some flies may be driven
out by darkening the house, 9th
ers by sticky fly paper. but an
ounce of prevention is better than
Il pound of cure, and the evils
brought on us by flies can be
largely prevented by leaving no
accessible material for them to
breed in. No horse manure, no
flies, or almost none. A remote
country house inhabited by a
single family is exposed to less
danger than houses in villages or
cities, because there is less
chance for the flies to find excre-
ments from diseased persons and
there are no germs to be carried.
But in q village or city there is
always a case of some one of
these dangerous diseases, most
commonly typhoid or consump-
ton and the presence of swarms
OF these carriers of disease is
dangerous to public health.
AS the danger is common to
all, the remedy must be common.
In every village some definite or
gained places for the removal of
horse manure from every stable
and from the public places should
be formed. It is now carried
away, but it is usually allowed to
live long enough to serve as the
breeding place of many flies. 1t
is of value as a fertilizer and will
pay it's own cost Of removal; but
the public health and public Sc.
curity often demand that it be
removed frequently and entirely.
Nine stables out of ten may be
kept clean of refuse, the n ne
elected stable with it's accumu-
lating piles Of refuse, is enough
to furnish material for breeding
multitudes Of flies. A common
danger requires a common rem
edy and one that will be self op-
erative. One competent public
contractor, under proper regu-
lation, will relieve any village
from the pest of flies.

a repeal of the present system of

going to learn this year many a
lesson, from the humble tiIler of
the soil to the leading craftsmen of

tools. Elect MEN to public office

politicians you have sinned away

All over the country the union
worklngmen are up in arms against
the two political parties, who have
always proven that the only time
they have any use for working
man, be he union or nonunion, is
just about election time. How
ever that time is passing and
workingmen, especially the union
lists, are beginning to think for
themselves, and that thinking is
bringing them to the conclusion
that it is time to call a halt on the
actions of their representatives,
and let them know that they are
wise as to why they are continu-
ally pressing labor to the wall and
carrying the corporations around
on their shoulders.
That union workmen have a
just and reasonable cause for seced
ing ftom their old party affiliations.

Judges against organized labor

ELUSIVE PALACES.

We'll meaning newspapers con-
denim the entrance of Union labor
into politics on the ground that
this is an attempt to secure class
legislation. If these journals were
not blinded by an unreasonable
and Elusive theory of industrial
equality. they would realize that
practically all legislation has the
effect of favoring some class or
classes. They do not realize that
as long as the laboring class seeks
only reasonable legislation Gas it is
doing at presently it ought to be
encouraged. And the laborers
will never secure reasonable legis-
lation until they demand it by
organized effort both before and
after election. l am not speaking
now of an Independent labor party.
That is matter of expediency and
of detail into which l do not wish
to enter. All I wish to insist
upon is that laborers have right
to such legislation as will render
impossible those intolerable con-
ditions which follow from a regime
of excessive industrial freedom,
which will give them real free
dom Of opportunity; and that they
can get such legislation only
through united effort politically as
well as Industrial.
