KILL THE Fly
OR Be KILLED
Most Dangerous Germ Carrier in the
Country is the Common House
Fly, Filthy
Insect.
TIME TO SWAT
More Health in a Well Screened
House Than in Many Doc
tors Visit lt'is
Said.

1From the Press Bureau Board Of Con
troll Of State Institutions Department
of tuberculosis.
DES MONIES, May 16.-The slogan
of every man, woman and child in the
state of Iowa, during the coming sum
mer should be Swat the Fly
Either man must kill the fly or the
Fly will kill the man.
The fly is the most dangerous germ
carrier to be found in this latitude as
by nature it is filthy and its familiar
habits make it exceedingly dangerous
to the health and life of mankind The
fly is responsible for large proper
ton of all cases of typhoid fever and
diarrhoeal diseases of infants and is
certainly an element of danger in the
spread of tuberculosis and other con.
tagious diseases Flies have caused
thousands of deaths in Iowa and will
continue to devastate and destroy In
til the people are awakened to the ne
cessity for an aggressive warfare to
eXterminate this nuisance.
In the first place, flies breed in filth
Without filth there could be no flies
1t is stated that more than 80 per cent
of the flies breed in stable manure and
the rest in garbage and open out
houses. The r,ost potent factor in an
aggressive warfare against them is
to remove all filth from alleys and
yards and to have all outhouses and
closets protected against them
There should be a thorough clean
up at once. Stable manure should be
kept in vaults or boxes, screened or
covered or should be sprinkled with
lime or kerosene and removed at least
once week. All garbage receptacles
and privy vaults should be made fly
proof
All doors and windows, especially OF
the kitchen and dining room should be
screened, in fact the house should be
made inaccessible to the fly. Food
exposed for sale should be screened
and ordinances to this effect should
be enacted and enforced.
Flies should, by all means, be kept
away from the sick. A national ealth
bulletin says-"rf yon saw a fly mag
nified until it was as big as a full
grown hen and saw the fly light On
the b,oodspit of .consumptive, in q
cuspidor and then fly with his feet
covered with the germs of consump.
ton and light on the nipple of the milk
bottle being sucked by your child, and
afterwards saw your child die of con
sumption, you would not charge the
death of the child to Divine wisdom
but to human ignorance in permitting
the fly to disease the child" There
for keep the flies away from the milk
Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't let flies crawl over the baby
and swarm upon the nipple of It's nurs
ing bottle.
Swat the lily and remember there is
more health in a well screened house
than in many a doctors visit.
A good device to be used in the cam
paign against the fly is a fly trap con
structed of wire screen so made as tc
gather them in large numbers in E
most inexpensive and sanitary way

on Main St at Ryerson's store In
the winter of 1909. bruising her
left knee Later the bruise develop

to be amputated. Miss Allison sued
the city for damages and the
case was tried i'm the Corporation
Court In March, 1910. resulting In a
verdict Of 1920 for Miss Allison.
Her counsel thinking the verdict too
small. moved to set the verdict aside
but the Corporation Court declined
to do so. Then the case was taken
TO the Court of Appeals and was
argued before that court last
March. The question raised was a
new principle which had never been
passed on by the Supreme Court
of this state The Supreme Court
Thursday delivered its decision af-
firming the Corporation Court.
Therefore. Miss Allison will get the
$1,000 with interest from March.
1910.
Messrs. w. w. Butzner and G.
y. Wallace represented Miss Allison.
and Mr. st. George r. Fitzhugh rep
resented the city.
