The Shame of Having Flies Around.

The Shame of Having Flies Around.
Much has been said this summer
of the danger of having flies around
and of the best way of poisoning
them or otherwise disposing of them.
A writer in the September Mcclure s
contributes to the discussion by some
very pertinent remarks on the shame
of having flies. What he says ap-
plies both to the country as a whole
and to individual households.
England, he tells us, is now al
most without flies, and that because
of the cleaning-up work of the last
so years. eff We had no decaying
organic matter we should have no
flies" he says, and as England has
Systematically undertaken to remove
and destroy such matter the fly prob
lem for her is solved.
AS for the households, it is almost
an identical proposition to say that
house has many flies or that it has
many smells. "The fly has one SUI
preme motive in life, and that is to
move toward the strongest smell. He
enters the house because there are
more smells inside than out, and,
once in, he frequents the kitchen be-
cause there are more smells there
than in the parlor" A number of
devices for getting rid of flies, based
either on their attraction toward
smells or their attraction toward
light Of certain intensities, are des-
cribed in this article, and prospective
home builders would do we'll to con-
slider them and have provision made
for some of them in their kitchens
or other rooms. A useful hint as to
killing flies with no other apparatus
than the human hand is also given
Most people who have hit at flies
know that slow approach is sue
cessful where a swift blow is not
If one brings the hand slowly above
the fly he will stay, and If one then
drops the middle finger quietly upon
him he will not be able to detect it
coming.
The work of keeping the fly from
Matching is partly a civic and partly
private duty, in both cases being
work of cleansing. The work of
getting the flies, when once Matched,
away from the homes is a private
duty. Apparently methods for all
these tasks are available, and have
but to be applied to succeed. Every
time we are reminded that fly can
easily carry six million germs, most
of them gathered in the barnyard or
the garbage bucket, we get a fresh
hint to busy ourselves at once
