When the head is infected with head lice

These Household Pests Often
Prove More Dangerous
than Wild Beasts.
Nv Dr. JacoIyn Van Viiet Manning.

TIL. insects which transmit disease from
man TO man and from animal TO man are
divided into two classes: First, those
which act as mechanical agents only by
carrying the infected germs on feet or
wings from one area and accidentally de-
posting them elsewhere; and second
those bloodsucking insects which act as
hosts for the germs they have taken up
with the blood from a sick man or animal
and inject them into the next victim whose
blood they seek.
The common housery is the best exam
pie Of the former class. The houseny' ored
I'm manure and offal, may mechanically
transmit from these sources the organ
isrns Of disease-notably OF typhoid fever
to food supplies In the pantry or on the
table
The most noted members or the sec
ond class arc: First. the louise, winch
transmits typhus fever; second, the tick'
which transmits Texas and spotted fever;
third. the bedbug, which has been proved
to transmit bubonic plague, tuberculosis
and Oriental sore. and which is suspected
of being the most important agent IN the
transmission OF epidemic paralysis from
man to man: fourth the biting stable n.y.
which some authorities consider the prop
able agent OF transmission of epidemic
paralysis from animal TO man; hfth' the
flea Of both rat and man, which is known
to transmit bubonc plague. and sixth
the small ly. or gnat. which transmits
pink eye.
The destruction OF the househy IS de-
pendent on the sterilization and removal
of the material in which 1T breeds. All
other methods are merely temporizlhs
with n problem which sooner or later
must be met and acted on In every SAM
tary community. To prevent the breeding
OF the biting stable fy, as wei as the
common house1y, mixture OF equal
quantities of German kainlt and acld
phosphate should be added twice daiy
to ali stable manure. This mixture when
used at the rear of the stalls. absorbs tho
LIQUID manure. sterilizes all droppings and

farms In these days arc very progressive
They have hundreds OF comforts that
their mothers and Rrandmothcrs did not

such a continuous era Of prosperity that
It was made possible for them 10 have
those things.
