Birmingham is Alive
to the Fly Menace.

Birmingham, Alabama, also has
! awakened to the occasion and he
filthy fly has fallen into disgrace. The
Ledger, of that city. has declared war
against the obnoxious and dangerous
pest and speaks only the truth in
the following:
About the most vicious insect TO
its size is the common house fly. He
| cost the country millions of dollars
a year in typhoid fever alone He
costs probably as much in other lis
eases.
Any person who keeps places where
flies breed maintains a nuisance, aud
can be made to abate it. We have
come TO the time when we know the
causes of disease in many cases, and
Birmingham remembers sad ep5de-
mic of fever in a few blocks of the
city traced directly to flies.
When we know this, IL is high time
to take action. The first duty is to
protect the home and food with
screens, then it is the duty of the
health. officer and the city to see that
the public health is not endangered
There is no virtue in making Biz
mingham beautiful if We do not make
Birmingham clean so as to keen il
of the city far better than normal.
We can keep it so if We keep the flies
OF our food. That one thing would
insure it. The fly and health do no-
stay in the same house, town or coun-
try.
The Journal gives this prominent
place to extracts from other news
papers, in order that the people OF
the city may understand how wide
spread has become the crusade. TIE
whole country is aroused to the dan
ger and those who have given the
question thought are urging univer-
sal action.
This action should be we'll organ
lied and thorough wherever there is
a human habitation. Victory is sure
10 crown a determined, strenuous eff
fort. The legions of obnoxious flies,
even though their number reaches
millions upon millions. could not resist
well directed human intelligence. They
would be certain of humiliation.
