EIIES CAN BE ELIMINATED,

Garrett P. Serviss-The greatest
peril of summer is not from heat, but
from flies. Mans deadliest enemy in
hot weather is the innocent looking,
buzzing, impertinent, filth-loving house
ay. 1t is Graded in uncleanliness, fat
tens upon putridity and plants loath-
some disease wherever it alights.
These are disagreeable facts which,
like some others, have TO be plainly
stated for the good OF humanity.
A single fly breeds more than two
hundred million descendants in forty
days, and every one of them, if al
lowed to live, becomes a carrier of
typhoid, consumption, fevers, catarrh,
plague and every communicable dis
ease from which mankind suffers.
1t is safer to allow burglar to go
andisturbed into your silver closet
than to permit a fly to enter your
kitchen. You can replace what the
other takes. Your life and your chill
dren are better than your silver
spoons.
Do you thing that you cannot get
rid of the fiies-that they are "neces-
sary nuisance?" Then listen 10 this.
There are so few flies in Bavaria
ghst they can in no way be regarded
as pest. This is perhaps due to the
extreme cleanliness of Bavarian cities,
courtyards alleys and vacant lots.
All are kept clean, and the Railways
and entrances of the houses are as
freSh as soap and water can make

HOT WAVE IS PASSING
OVER ENTIRE COUNTRY

The hot weather of the last few
days has not been peculiar to Imperial
valley. San Francisco reports tenn
perature of 80. which is worse than
10 here In eastern cities the heat
has already brought many prostra-
tions and few deaths, and the sum
mer has but just begun.
The maximum temperature here has
been 10 degrees, which is not pleas
ant, but is not prostrating in this dry
air, and surely is not fatal
With hot weather beginning here
June l and continuing through Sep
tember, ii is notable that the period
of great heat is not longer than it IS
in a great portion of the country,
even where severely cold weather fol-
lows soon after.
A Notch Higher
Mercury today went a notch higher
than yesterday. scoring Ill, making
this the hottest day of the season.
This is within five or six degrees of
the ordinary summer maximum,
reached one or two days in a year,
and it is within l6 degrees of the
highest temperature ever officially
recorded anywhere on earth.

A CHANCE TO BOOST

"A If only every citizen OF the val
iey who goes for a summer vacation
would make of himself or herself a
committee of one to boost the valley
during their entire vacation period, the
valley would gain vastly more from
the vacations than it loses.
Taking this season alone, if every
person would do all that could be done,
The value of real estate here would
advance not less than $50 an acre,
and $50 an acre for 100000 acres is
s12.500,000
This implies that every person shall
become a summer missionary and an
swer all inquiries. There are two
points the outside public is always
harping on. and there is the best of
answer to each, and these answers
should be used on every occasion.
The first is that the summers here
are long and hot, and against this
fact that during the hot months alone
this valley produces more than three
million dollars and makes good vaca-
tions possible, and then some.
The second is the old story that the
water question is not entirely settled.
And the answer TO this is that there Is
not an irrigated progressive country
where the water question is settled
for improvements are always in order
Here it is settled as regards the three
essential points. Getting the cheapest
water, the most abundant water, and
delivery when you want it, the Other
matters are non-esSential details, and
every progressive community has de
tails to be cared for.
If you Will paste these truths in youl
nat and drive them home to every
person you have a chance to talk tC
and all your fellow vacationists do the
same, your joint effort will add millions
to the value of your property in z

them"
Perhaps the only error about this is
the statement that the few flies that
do remain cannot be regarded as a
pest. Even a few flies are pest;
even a single one is potential pest,
because of it's amazing productivity.
But when, by CLEANLINESS, they, have
been so reduced in number it is IN
finitely easier to dispose of those that
remain.
Every city should be rendered as
free from flies as those happy Bavari-
an towns. One effective way to do il
was pointed out by an editorial few
weeks ago. Begin the fight with the
first fly that comes buzzing out in
the spring. Kill him on sight; don't
let him get away,
