STARTS WAR ON FLIES
State Board of Health Takes Up
Cudgel against the Pests 10
Refuse Number. :

Sioux CITY, July 15.-The Iowa
board of health has issued a state
ment, copies of which have been re-
ceived in Sioux City, warning the
people of Iowa to take precautions
against flies. In making the report
on the dangers of flies, the board
declared that many people are neg
lecting to heed warning against the
pest. The board has asked that the
following note be published in the
various papers of the state:
"Attention has been called to the
fact thai flies are n of the most
dangerous menace of life and OF
health with which mankind has to
contend, being responsible for a
large proportion of all cases of ty-
phoid fever and diarrheal diseases OF
infants and many cases of tubercu.
losis and other contagious diseases.
'"rhey have caused thousands of
deaths in Iowa and will continue

housekeepers awaken to the fact
and inaugurate a warfare that Will
result in their determination. This
can be accomplished definitely anu
effectively. 1t requires only the re-
moval of filth. Flies breed in filth.
and in filth alone. Without filth
there can be no flies. More than
80 per cent of them breed in sta
BILE and the balance in gar
bage, outhouses and other forms OF
refuse.
IAN immediate and thorough clean
ing of premises should be effected
and further accumulations Of filth
avoided. Stable manure should be
kept in vaults or boxes. Garbage
receptacles should be carefully COW
cred and the contests sprinkled with
unslaked lime or oil. In addition
to the measures for prevention OF
the breeding of flies, every effort
should be made to prevent them en-
tering the house or having access
to mill or other foods.
, "Flies especially should be kept
= away from the sick, and if n "
discovered in the sick room it should
be killed. People who have cleaned
their own premises should demand
that their neighbors do likewise, and
notify the board of health Of any
failures or refusals."
