Keep flies from the SICK, espe-
cially those i'll with commune
cable or contagious diseases;
don't forget that flies will carry
the baoilli of typhoid fever to
the food in the kitchen and
dining-room. This is no con-
lecture. The Spanish American
War proved this fact; the great
secret of how to get rid of the
flies is CLEANLINESS; screen
all food. Keep receptacles for
garbage carefully covered and
the cans cleaned or sprinkled
with oil, lime, or some good
disinfectant. Cover food after
a meal. Screen all windows
and doors, especially the kitchen
and dining-room; don't forget
if you see flies, that their breed
ing place is near by. 1t may be

or in the cuspidor;if there is no

Flies and Filth.

Flies are disease carriers. They
live and breed in all kinds
Of filth. Flies infect food
and liquids by germ
laden feet. Each fe-
male fly can lay

should be kept
out Of dwell
lings.
The presence of flies is a dir
ect evidence Of careless houss-
keeping and the existence of
filth in some form about the
premises; remember that when
and where absolute cleanliness,
prevails there will be no flies;
look daily after the garbage
cans. See that they are care
fully sprinkled with a disin-
fectant; look carefully after the
cuspidors; they require con-
slant attention; they should al
ways contain a .disinfectant.
flies feast on tuberculous
sputum, and hover around GUS
pidors. The specks of flies
contain live tubercle bacilli
after they have eaten tuber-
culous sputum, showing that
the bacilli will pass through the
digestive tract of the fly in an
active, infective state; flies carry

Editor V. S. Peet says: The
Utah Independent would sug-
gest that a four-rod wide road
should be opened between Gar
land and Tremonton and from
one to two-acre building lots
along this road be put on the
markets. Such lots would read
lily bring from 5000 to 5000 per
acre. The time is not far dis
tant when a street car line will
be built through the valley. A
nice macadamized road with
shade trees, side walks, with a
street car line, electric lights,
and a water system, would en-
hance the value of all the land
in Bear River Valley north of
