that the. Housekeeper FOR July muck
rakes midsummer hot days, it can
be shown that the air freshness of the

which it can be overcome. The abund-

an afternoon in the hammock. Lii

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE
HCUSE-FLY.

The chief speciaities OF the fly are
now known to be the transmission of
intestinal diseases, typhoid fever,
cholera, and diarrhea. 1t has also
been pointed out in recent studies by
the local government board of London
that he may very possibly carry tuber-
.culosis, anthrax, diptheria, ophthalmia,
smallpox, staphylococcus infection,
swine fever, tropical sore and the
eggs of parasitic worms.
Hence the vigorous campaign now
being carried on against the house-f1y
by civic associations and the health
boards throughout the country. In
many cities placards have been posted
warning the people in terse text and
graphic pictures of the dangers from
flies, and giving rules for protection
against them; lectures on the subject
are also being widely given, and even
that new popular fad, the moving pic
