THERE WILL BE NO
FLIES ON BERKELEY
Board OF Health Backs Crusade
to Rid Town of Insect
Pest

BERKELEY May 21.-Resolutions
have been adopted by the chamber of
commerce of this city asking for the
appropriation of at least $500 to fight
the common house fly which is said
by the entomologists to be q menace
to public health because the tiny insect
carries on its hairy feet bacteria by
the thousand. The money to be asked
for from the town will be used in raid
ing and eliminating the breeding places
of the insect.
INSECTICIDE Is CHEAP
This action was taken after Prof. W.
p. Herms of the University of Califor-
MIA had explained that the expense of
abating these nuisances would be very
light. and that powerful insecticide
for use in the work may be obtained
for less than two cents a gallon. Pro-
fessor Herms said he believed, that own
ers of stables would be glad to CO.
operate in this effort to eXterminate
the house fly as soon as they learn
how simple and inexpensive the pro-
cess really is. especially when they
realize that they are the persons who
receive the greatest benefit.
1t was ascertained that the livery
Stables are as q general rule better
kept than the places owned by private
citizens. One barn in neighborhood
viii infest all the houses in the vicin-
ity with flies, and the prime safeguard
against a plague of flies is to require
that all stables be kept in a clearly
condition.
WORK OF DIFFERENTIATION
1t is estimated that for $500 the work
of determination may be carried on
to such an extent that Berkeley will
be practically free from flies. and the
authorities will be urged to place this
sum at tie disposal of those who are
carrying on the campaign. Professor
Herms said that Berkeley would enjoy
the distinction of being the first city
west of Chicago to do this important
work for the community, adding to
the comfort and hea1thfulness of the
people
The board of health has heartily in
dorsed the work of Professor Herms
and his assistants, going so far as to
pledge personal subscriptions If the
city funds prove inadequate. DIR. j.
]. Benton, Berkeley's health officer
says that the movement is of great i'm
portance to the people or the city, and
he is heartily supported by Dr. f. r.
Woolsey. Dr.. A. f. Gillian, DR.. H. N.
Rowell and DIR. f. L. Carpenter, the
other members OF the board OF health.
