BEWARE OF DANGER
Gus HOUSE FLY
\ Strong Appeal for People 10 Pro-
tect Themselves Against the
Poisonous Pests.

The Merchants Association of New
York is without doubt the most re-
body of men to be
found in any city of the world This
association is made up of those who
are loyal to New York and dare
maintain its integrity against rings
and grafters of all sorts,
The motto of the men who are
connected with the association is to
do any and all things which will
make the city a better business cen
ter and healthier place of resid-
ence. The latest subject which this
organization has taken up is fight
for the destruction of the house fly,
In an address. largely to the children
of the city it makes some startling
announcements which concern peo-
pie everywhere and for that reason
we publish the address in full.
This document is sent out by the
Merchants Associations committee
on pollution of the waters of New
York. 1t reads as follows:
Flies are the most dangerous in
sects we have. They are much more
dangerous than bees or hornets;
these may sting you, and the sting
is painful, but you soon get over the
pain. Flies do much more harm
than this. They walk over filthy
places like sewers and garbage cans,
and after eating the filthy food
which they find there, they come in
to your house and walk on the food
you eat, carrying on their feet the
tiny germs which live in filth just
as you live in a house. These germs
are not only filthy and disgusting,
but many of them cause such dis
eases as typhoid fever, cholera in
fantum and summer complaint.
When the flies bring them from
some dirty place to your food or
leave them when they crawl on your
face or hands, you may swallow these
germs without knowing it and be
taken i'll with one of these diseases.
SO the fly that seems so harmless
may do you much more harm than a
bee or a hornet.
Your parents should place screens
at their doors and windows during
the warm weather, to keep the flies
out of the house. If they cannot
screen all the rooms, they should
screen those in which food is kept;
and if anyone is sick in the house
Flies should be kept from The sicR
room, so that they may not carry
germs from the sick person to tht
rest of the family.
Children may help to keep fliei
from swarming in and around house,
and from carrying germs of sickness

from one person to another. In the
first place, they should not buy
candy, fruit or other food which is
left in front of stores or anywhere
else where flies may feed and walk
on it. Flies lay their eggs chiefly in
stable manure, and IL this is left
without screens or other covers to
keep the flies away, great numbers
will be hatched in every stable II
you know of stores where food is
not covered from flies, or of stables
that have swarms of them around,
get your father or mother to write
to the Board of Health about them,
and the Board will make the store
keepers or stablemen obey its rules.
But before you report other people
for being careless and dirty and so
making it possible for flies to be-
come a nuisance, be sure that your
own house is clean, and that no garb-
age-cans or boxes are left uncovered
to attract flies.
If you and all the people you
know will follow this advice. there
will not be nearly so many flies to
plague you in hot weather, and there
will not be nearly so much sickness
and death, especially among children
as now.
Keep the flies away from the sick
especially those i'll with contagiou.
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room His body 4,
covered with disease germs.
DO not allow deCaying material oi
any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises.
All refuse which tends In any way
to fermentation such as bedding
straw, paper waste and vegetable
matter should be disposed of or Gov
cred with lime or kerosene oil.
Screen all food.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans
cleaned or sprinkled with oil OF
lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit, screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparation.
Cover food after a meal; burn or
bury all table refuse.
Screen all food exposed for sale.
Screen all windows and doors. es-
pecially the kitchen and dining room.
Don't forget, if you see flies, their
breeding place is in nearby filth. It
may be behind the door, under the
table or in the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt and filth there
will be no flies.
If there is nuisance in the neigh
borhood write at once to the Health
Department.
