THE DEADLY HOUSE FLY.

The following unique way Of i'm
pressing upon the reader the danger
OF allowing 1ics In the home Is from
the Denver Post.
Did you read the thrilling stories a
few weeks ago about the terrible
man eating lions OF Tsayo, Africa? II
YOU did not You missed one of the
most splendid adventure stories of re
cent years, and every word OF il true.
Two lions Stampedcd a camp of scv.
era1 thousand laborerS on a new rail
road, killed and ate forty men, and
three months. The story was written
by Colonel Patterson. who hunted
down and killed the lions.
Wouldn't II be fearful to live in a
country where such monsters are com
mon? Suppose there were in the
dark places about this city Wild beasts
which killed q man almost every day
KILLED even the women and little
children before the eyes Of the hus.
bands and fathers. Wouldn't there be
a sudden arming and a fierce hunting
until every one of those beasts was
killed?
But there are. right here. animals
that come into our houses and kill
men, women and little babies by the
score every year. Last year they
killed in the United States probably
$4,000 persons, yet only few men
have paid any attention to hunting
them, and If anyone were to go about
the streets trying to raise a company
OF men to hunt down and extermlnate
them. he would probably be laughed
at
No. 1t IS not the hon-men would
volunteer by hundreds to hunt lions.
Nor Is 1t the wolf. nor the bear, nor
the rattlesnake. 1t is the ordinary
house fly, And 1t is deadly. not by
reason OF its bite, but because it
carries the contagion of typhoid fever.
cholera infantum, cholera morous and
other pestilences. More than half the
soldiers who died In the Spanish
American war ten years ago were
killed, not by the bullets of the enemy.
but by the files which invaded the
camps. and carried from stables and
sewers TO the mess tables the infec-
ton of typhoid.
Flies breed nowhere but in filth.
and more freely in stables and neg
lected garbage cans than anywhere
else Keep these clean and there will
be few flies. Summer is at hand,
when flies multiply and typhoid runs
rampant every year. a single fly will
lay 1000 eggs. and in ten days they
hatch into full grown flies. OF these,
a few days later, the females will
each lay another 1000 eggs each, SO
that the pest multiplies at an enor-
nous rate.
These filthy scavengers make fres
quent trips from garbage cans. stables,
sewers and outbuildings to the kitchen
and dining room. carrying deadly dis
ease and scattering 1t on our food A
scientist once examined over 400 flies
to sec how many typhoid and other
germs each carried. The average was
over 2,222.000 germs to each fly.
Now If each family will do every
thing possible to keep flies from
breeding-fight the fly just as hard
as II 1t were lion and capable Of
killing with is teeth instead of with
disease-tho city will have less
trouble this year. and many a man,
woman and little child Will be spared
to life of usefulness.
