Every year In thih country about
$40, 900, 900 IS spent for wire screens.
Al the present time these are abso-
lutoly necessary, because OF our ma
tional carelassnsss about the breeding
places Of the house fly. IL has been
estimated by Edward Hatch, Jr.. OF
New York, who has lnade study OF
the subject, that, including the sum
spent for screens house fly costs
the United States '..nually s35O,OOO,-
600 and 100000 years OF human
life by It's dissemination Of disease
This represents 100000 lives Of the
average length.
This IL all the work Of the little
insect which enters your house from
you know not where, tainting your
food, your drink, and trailing his
germ laden Eggs and wings over your
person and that OF your family. He
respects no ono. Coming from some
filthy place, no wipes his feet upon
your babys lips, contaminates the
meat, the milk, the bread in the
kitchen. Flying straight from some
sick room. he comes TO your home,
messenger of death. A moments yis-

your table nay enable some disease
to take its toll from your family.
You rem smber the epidemic Of ty-
phoid in tho Ninth, Tenth and Nine
teenth wards OF Chicago in 1903? On
that occasion hundreds Of cases Of ty-
phoid were caused by. flies which
carried the Eerm about. Flies with
consumption germs upon their bodies
have been found half a mile from the
consumption hospital at Dunning.
The open garbage dumps about the
city are a disgrace to modern sani-
tary methods. They breed enough
flies in a week, which, If disease la
den, as they generally are, could defy
the efforts OF all Chlcago's physicians.
A strong wind from these dumps blows
the flies by the millions half way
across the city.
But are you not responsible your
self for fly breedng2 Have your
garbage cans covers. as the law re-
quires? Is the refuse from your sta
bic removed as often as It should be?
Do you keep It in a closed box?
Flies love and thrive where bad
odors are, They love damp base
ments. They breed in filthy water
and where manure lies. But they
can not stand cleanly odors. Kero-
sene Is cleanjy. Poured on manure
or garbage, the flies will avoid these
substances. Pour kerosene into your
garbage pals, even when they are
empty. Keep them tightly covered
Keep cobwebs from the walls and
ceilings Of your rooms. Keep the
dust swept out OF corners and behind
doors and radiators. Flies like dust
heaps and C0bwebs. Keep solutions
Of formaldehyde, spoonful in a
quarter of @ pint Of water, scattered
about the house in shallow dishes.
Hichromate Of potash, dram in two
ounces Of water will kill all the flies
in the house.
without flies you can live in your
home In quiet and peace. They Will
not wake you from your sleep. They
VIII not taint your food. They will
not bring disease to your family.
These are simple facs which should
be known o every one. Cut these
