ABATE THE FLY
And one-Fourth of the Typhoid Fever
is Prevented.

And one-Fourth of the Typhoid Fever
is Prevented.
'Abate the filth nuisance and you
have abated the fly; kill the fly and you
have prevented oue-fourth of the
typhoid fever which causes 30 much
sickness later on in the season." This
is the advice Of DR.. Robert L. Dixon,
secretary of the state board Of health.
ELIMINATE FLIES NOW.
TOO many people consider that later
in the summer is the typhoid fever sea-
son and give the matter mo considera.
tion now," continues DR.. Dixon. "Swat
the fly and swat him early in his career
for the first flies are most dangerous.
These pests which live on filth cause
half or about one. fourth of the typhoid
fever. The time to eliminate the flies
Is now.
Whats the best thing for fiies2" is a
question often asked this Office. 1t de-
pends upon the point from which you
view the proposition. If you mean
from the fly aspect. it is filth; If you
mean from the position of the baby, the
child or the adult human individual, it
is the absence of filth. The best medi-
cine for flies is preventative medicine
The sequence of filth, flies, fever has
been established. From the standpoint
of prevention of typhoid fever now if
the season and action now to prevent
the increase in the fly population is
essentially seasonsble. A few flies now
mean millions next month and many
cases Of typhoid the month following.
FLIES BREED IN FILTH.
Files breed in filth, rubbish and de-
caying material and the important
thing is to destroy such material. Any
material which cannot be destroyed
should, be carefully screened. If such
action is not taken the charges should
be brought against the persons re
sponsible for maintaining a nuissnc,
dangerous to the public health. Every
local board of health has the power t.
abate such nuisances and failure to d.
so constitutes neglect Of duty. NJ
garbage should be deposited on tn,
ground. It should be burned, buriet
or covered tightly at all times. Person
having knowledge Of fly breeding shoul'
report them promptly to the loca
health officer. Attention to these con
ditions now will do more good than
dozen fly swstting' campaigns later l.
the season.
Avoid the grocery or meat marke
where food is not properly protecte'
from flies. Screen all doors and win
dows in the home and see that thes
screens fit tightly. It is more impoi
tant to prevent than to swat the fly.
