DANGEROUS HOUSE FLY.
II 10 a Menace to Health and Should
De Exterminated.

House flies, now called typhoid flies,
because they carry the germs of
typhoid fever and are responsible for
many deaths in the human family,
also carry the germs of consumption
and some other diseases. They are
menace to the health of our families.
They breed in fresh horse manure
and in other kinds of filth; one fe-
male fly may lay $50 eggs or more;
they infect our food and drink with
germs. The house should be screened
to keep them out. The use of sticky
fly paper is desirable, or a poison
harmless to man, made by putting two
tablespoonfulls Of formaldehyde (for-
malin) In pint of water. They are
