Beware of the Typhoid Fly"


The common house-fy is the
most DANGEROUS enemy of man
kind. This pestiferous creature
is especially prevalent during the
warm season of the year. He
begins his existence as a tiny
wriggling worm in any pile of
filth. The egg is deposited in
this incubating material and
matches under favorable condition
in about twenty-four hours after
being laid. 1t then remains in
the larva or miggot stage from
five to seven days. 1t requires
from ten days to two weeks for
the fly to reach the adult stage.
The home of the fly is, therefore
manure, rubbish, and garbage of
all kinds. Tie presence of the
! fly means disease and unsanitary
conditions. Where there is no
filth there are no flies. KEEP
THE HOME SURROUNDINGS
CLEAN.
His habits OF living and crawl
Jug make him one of the FOUR
great agents in the spread of
disease. He is the chief cause in
the transmission of typhoid fever,
hence he has come to be called
the typhoid fly All intestinal
diseases, such as cholera infantum
which kills children by the
thousands, ale more frequent
whenever and wherever flies are
most abundant. 1t is this little
pest and not the summers heat
which is the active agent in the
spread of these diseases. KEEP
THE FLIES OFF OF THE LIPS
AND FACE OF THE HELP
LESS BABE.
The spongy feet and hairy body
of the fly make it possible for
him to carry Thousand of germs,
so he is found transmitting
not only the germs of typhoid
fever, but what is worse, the
germs of consumption from the
sputum on the side walk or
cuspidor to the food we eat.
FLIES TRANSMIT GERMS OF
CONSUMPTION TO MAN.
During the Spanish American
War thousands of soldiers died
of typhoid fever. Upon investi-
cation the officers of the regi-
ments were found eating their
food under screened tents while
the food of the privates was left
exposed. 1t is known that dis
ease germs of the sick are found
abuudantly in the waste matter.
The epedimic was confined to
the privates and the flies were
seen coming direct from the waste
pits to their tables. When the
refuse in the pits was covered
with lime then the food was
marked by the white tracks of
the flies. Thus the presence of
the fly is not only nuisance but
he may spread disease wherever
he goes. His touch may be
deathly. His presence should not
be tolerated. THE FLY MUST
BE DIFFERENTIATED.
A person can catch disease on
ly by coming i'll contact with it.
For example, the germ of typhoid
fever must be swallowed in the
food that one eats or in the liquid
that one drinks, or obtained from
the vessel from which one eats or
drinks. CLEANLINESS PRE-
VENTS DISEASE.
Remember that MILK is an ex-
cellent culture medium for the
growth of germs. If exposed to
flies, and few germs get into it,
in a very short time these germs
will multiply into the thousands.
GERMS MULTIPLY WITH
GREAT RAPIDITY.
Therefore, keep the flies away
from ALL food. whether it be for

cRowrA or THE SOUTH
Industrial Development Has Kept Pace
With Population Expansion.

Win Population Expansion
The census bureau has within the
past few days given Gait the COM
pleted counts Tor four Southern
stales-yirginia, Kentucky. Missis-
sippi and North Carolina. In not one
OF these states is there indicated
such standstill or refrograde ten
dency OF population as in two OF the
New England states and one or two
stat s OF the central West. There Is
! yet greet deal of spare room In the
agricultural areas down South. but
| It Is being occupied steadily ana
surely.
Virginia. Kentucky and North Car
olina have all crossed the 2,voV,VVV
population line. with margins 10
spare in each case, which assure
that there will be no dropping below
that mark 10 any count hereafter.

year has. except for the demoraliza-

been an era of prosperity all over
the United. States. but especially and
unin.erruptedly' so in the Southern
states.
The South SIS no longer purely
sgri ultural region. though agricu-
ture Is and must always continue to
tie the basic industry in the South
ern area as In the central West area.
In North Carolina the last decade
population increase has been at a
ratio of 1876 per cent. and the IN
crease OF the previous decade was at
a ratio OF III per cent. This is rate
of progress indicating life aud activ-
