FLY PEST COSTS
u. S. MILLIONS
ESTIMATED THAT INSECTS
CAUSE LOSS OF 4,OOO,-
900 LIVES.
Expert on Subject Give Data
Showing Loss in the
United States.

New York, Dec. 2S.-One hum
dred and seventy million years
would be added to the lives of
people of the United States or A.
100000 lives of the present aver
age length, and $2O,0OO,O00,00O
would be saved If the house fly
wee annihilateu.
In these starting figures DR.
Daniel Jackson, a member OF the
pollution committee, told the New
Jersey Sanitary association This
estimate of the damag by the
common household fly.
1T is almost incredible what
damage is being done by the
pest DR.. Jackson said. Figures
help to convey it in a way. but no
figures can tell the whole tale.
However, when | tell you that if
the pestiferous household fly
could at one sweep be annihilated
two years would be added to your
life, my life, and that of every
man. woman and child in the
world. That means something.
And when we go further and fin
that this means the saving OF
100000 lives of the presents
average length, or a total of 173-
100000 lives of the present
great deal more"
DIR. Jackson is an authority
second to none on the subject.
For years ihe has investigated the
flv in its bearing on disease, and
he is convinced that in doing
away with the pest we will also
do away. in a very, large degree,
with typhoid and other contagi-
Gus fevers.
In investigating the pollution
OF the waters OF New York har-
Dor, DR.. Jackson found flies were
most numerous in the neigilbor-
hood OF sewer outlets, and that in
the same neighborhoods typhoid
ever anil other intestinal disease.
were most prevalent. Thousand,
of flies were caught and examin.
ed. and upon them millions o.
disease germs were found
Flies Cause Epidemic.
In the paper delivered before
the Jerseymen. DR.. Jackson told
OF one model tenement block in
| Manhattan where, more than 1OC
cases NJ typhoid fever developed
in the recent epidemic. The health
authorities were inclined to as
cribe the fever to milk, but il
was shown that other neighbOr-
hoods getting the same milk from
the same source had little fever
Investigation showed that two
stables in unsani'tary condition
were Immediately behind the mo.
del tenement and millions of flies
swarmed before the two places
carrying on their legs and wings
the filth from the stable refuse
60 it was shown that the flies had
caused the epidemic.
AS to the possibility OF exter-
minating the fly family, it is
shown by statistics the fly FAM
lily is a monumental if not impos-
sible one A few months ago state
entomologist Bruner OF Nebraska
said single house fly could be
the progenitor on 1875 qualrillion.
OF flies in ten generations, which
means in one years time one hun
dred and ninety-fve quadrillions
is about $4,000, 900 bushels o.
flies.
