THE GREATEST
OF MURDERERS'
HOUSE FLY so CHARACTERIZED
BY DR.. GElSEL IN ADDRESS
ON THE HOME BEHIND
THE MAN"

Clean streets, clean homes, clean
lives, clean cities. clean habits and
clean schools, no cigarettes or alcohol,
proper cooking and an abundance OF
clean pure air and water, are factors
In making better men and better citl-
zens. according to DR.. Carolyn Geisel,
the noted woman physician and sur
gcon who lectured last night i'm the
high school assembly hall under the
auspices of the Home Study club.
Dir. Geisel was introduced by Mrs.
A. E Spalding. president of the Home
Study club, and announced that her
subject would be The Home Behind
the Man." "The kind of home that
boy is brought up in, the kind of
parents and companions that he has,
and his general environment have
more to DO with what a man turns out
to ze than does heredity," said Dr.
Gcise. "Most of the boys who we're
brought into Judge Ben Lindsey's ju-
streets or i'm houses that were lack
ing I'm the elements that make homes,
where in some cases there were mo
women folks hanging around" or else
the mother had to work to support
herself and family or was too much
taken up with social frivolitics.
The house behind the man should
be clean" said DR.. Geisel. The prem
ises should be kept clean. Garbage
cans should be covered ana emptled
at intervals of about every seven days
and manure piles should be sprayed
with dlsinfectant to kill the larvae of
the ny. The house fly is the greatest
os murderers. IL carries the germs of
typhoid, tuberculosis and dipththeria.

germs, and then after the fly has been
hshed cut somebody crinks It,. Don't
DO IL unless you care to drink dilut-
ed solution of bugs. The germs when
they get inside of you breed at the
rate of 16,2SS,376 every twenty-four
hours. Get iii of the flies before they
are developed, while they arc still In
the larvae state. If YOU all work to-
gether you can make this spotless
town. town with no flies on It, Get
rid of the flies. II can be done. I,
cost the city of New orleans 100000
In money and untold misery and grief
and tears before the yellow fever
plague was eradicated and the stygo-
mia mosquito that causes yellow fe-
yer exterminated. They got rid of the
yellow fever mosquito and you can
get rid of the ny. Don't spit on the
for the flies to crawl
through and deposi, germs on the
baby's bottle and then blame God for
taking the little one. God isn't to
blame. It's ourselves. A hen or a

created things are the only animals
that lose one out of every two before
they reach maturity-just because we
don't keep clean"
order i'm the home was discussed
and the evils of improper food and
cooking gone into at considerable
length. The speaker deprecated too
much formal orderliness i'm the home,
and said mans things should be lerS
where he left them or thinks he did.
The kind of order she advocated was
liberty under the law and training a
man up to law and order of civic
sort. AS to cooking, Dr. Geisel declar-
ed there are already 2S varieties of

probably will have a full fifty-scven.
But what can a woman do? Domes-
tic science schools are step I'm the
right directin but so far they mostly
teach girls how to make fudge and
angel cake. There Is no place where
q woman can learn to raise a man but
anyone can go to an agricultural col
Iege and learn 20 raise prize hogs at
your and my expense"
