TO GET MEYERS BLOCK
Milwaukee Electric Ry. and
Light Co. Gets Option on
Big Building.
PRICE $4,000 is A RECORD

/, The report that the Milwaukee Flee
!tric Railway and Light Company has
taken on option on the Meyers build
ing on Market Square has been VERT
ned AMI it IS stated today that the
deal Tor the purchase of the building
viii De closed up on May 10th. The
option given by the present owner of
tae building will expire on that date.
| The price agreed upon is $4,000 and it
Represents the largest price ever paid
Ior any building in the business dis
trict of the city 1t is declared that
the superintendent Of the new com
pany who have investigated the build
/ ing are satisfied that it is almost ideal
lily located and that it will make an
ideal public service building. 1t is
understood that the company will
make many changes in the building if
the purchase is closed up on the date
stated and some of the tenants have
already been notified that they will
have TO seek new places for business
at the conclusion of the periods stat
ed I'M their leases.
The company has not made its plans
for changes in the building public, but
it is understood that the building will
provide offices for all the public serv-
ice corporations in the city and that
in addition to this it will offer place
for waiting room for passengers us
ing the cars of the company. If this
plan is followed it will be necessary
for the company to secure easements
from the property owners in order to
be able to operate the interurban cars
on Market Square. Many Of the prop
erty owners have declared their will
ingness to give such easements. The
building would offer a central point
for the transfer of passengers on the
local line and for the picking up Of
passengers On the through line. If
the deal goes through and it seems GER

MUCH LITERATURE CIRCULATED
Leaflets Given to Employees of Big
Factories in City Show Danger from
Flies and Best Methods to Get Rid of
Them National Organization Aids.


house fly is to be taken up in Kenosha
this year under the direction of mem
bers Of the National Association Of
Manufacturers and these men have Sc
cured hundreds of copies Of a circular
showing the danger of the spread of
disease by flies and one of these cir
culars is being sent to every employee
Of their companies The circular tells
about all there is to know of the
house fly and then gives the best
ways Of disposing of them. Among
other things contained in the circular
are the following:
Flies are a dangerous nuisance.
They carry disease. People are just
beginning to wake up to this fact.
There are many kinds Of flies; but
lit is the ordinary house fly that es-
pecially concerns us. 1t is unneces-
sary to name the others.
All flies are dangerous. House flies
are especially so, because they are SO
numerous and because they come in
contact with people and foods.
Flies lay eggs, A single female fly
lays an average of one hundred and
twenty (120) eggs, at time. Four de-
posts Of eggs may be made by one
fly Under favorable conditions the
eggs become flies in about ten days.
1t takes about ten days more before
these flies also lay eggs.
Flies will breed in almost any rot
ting or fermenting matter. All OBJ
servers agree, however, that flies pre-
fer horse manure. But they will
breed in any kind of dung, whether
from horses, cows, pigs or human
beings.
In cities, flies generally breed in
stables. In the country and small vii
lagos, it is often the open privy or
any place where night soil is exposed
that produces9fies in the largest num-
bers.
They breed not only in manure, but
also in decaying grains, in brewery
waste, in decaying vegetables or fruit,
in waste cotton or wooden garments,
i'm sacking or paper, when such ma
terials are Kept moist and at the prop
er temperature, especially when mixed
with ashes or earth,
A house fy's egg is about one
twentieth (1-2o) of an inch in length.
Under favorable conditions it will
hatch maggot in eight or ten hours
The maggot which comes from the
egg moves about in the manure or
other material in which it is Matched
for several days and undergoes some
changes. Usually in about a week it
becomes a fly.
Let us suppose that on April Is a
female fly lays 100 eggs, that these all
become flies, that half are female
which in turn breed at the same rate
about every twenty days, that none
are killed, we would then have table
ell.

TATTOO SAVES PETERSON.
Man Thought to be Parolled Prisoner
Had Flag Tattooed on Wrong Arm.

The fact that he had a flag tat
tooed on his left arm instead of his
right arm saved John Peterson, a
sailor from a lot of trouble today.
Peterson was picked up by the police
last night and given a night s lodging
at the tramp room at the county jail.
His face appeared familiar to some of
the police officers and an examination
revealed the fact that he was very
similar IN appearance to William
Keckline, a man who was wanted by
the officials Of the Minnesota state
prison at Saltwater. Peterson insist
ed that he was a Swede and the man
sought was an American When the
police made a close inspection of the
man they found that he had the same
Kind Of Z mark on his arm as had
been borne by the missing convict,
but in the case of Peterson it was his
left arm while the man sought had
the flag on his right arm. Peterson
was released.

This thing of being bright and
shining example for most of the other
counties of the state, of being noted
as the best assessed county in the
state" is something to be proud of,
but it has had disadvantages q tba
past along about tax paying time.
There is no question but that this
county paid more than its proportion
ate share of the state taxes for the
fist year or two after the full value
assessment law was supposed ) to go
into effect Kenosha county appoint4
ed an able and energetic supervisor
of assessments, w. III. Harrison, and
every effort was made to carry out
the spirit and intent of the law and
put the assessment of this county on
full value basis, while in some eoun-
ties the law was treated as a joke and
no effort made to enforce it. AS a
general rule every new taxation meas
ure puts the counties where an earn
est effort is made to enforce it in the
beginning at a disadvantage and his
tory is likely to repeat itself in tbs
income tax measure This law is so
loosely drawn that no set rules for
the collection of the tax are laid down
aud much depends on the character
and ability of the individual income
tax assessors in the different districts.
They are all working under the simple
instructions to get the money! but
it is largely left to their own judg-
ment as to how to go about getting it
and under the conditions it will be
surprising if there are not great in

From this we see that if an adult
female fly can be destroyed before
she lays her eggs, We have got rid Of
not only that fly, but all of her vast
possible offspring.
In general, flies rest at night, but
during daylight they never seem to
show fatigue--of flying almost con
tinuously. They prefer shade to sun
light, and SO prefer the inside Of the
house if not too dark.
Flies do not travel far from their
food unless transported in cars or
other vehicles. They cannot eat solid
food. Such food they moisten before
eating. They prefer semi-liquid food.
They seem to have little choice as to
whether food has been freshly prepar-
ed in the cleanest kitchen or whether
it is in the garbage can, or in unmen-
tionable filth

Many people who have been accus-
toned to move annually before coming
to Kenosha did not move this year for
the very good reason that there were
no places for them to move to, The
doing away with the annual tearing
up Of everything is the only good
feature Of shortage of renting &C
commodations. BY the way why has
custom decrecd that all leases should
terminate on ME same day and why
was May I selected as the date? The
least the real estate men should do
for their tenants is divide up and
have two moving days, one in the
spring and one in the fall.

Flies Garry Disease.

The house fly carries the germs of
disease on its legs and feet, and in its
alimentary canal (intestine). Actual
experiments with many kinds Of
germs prove this.
Flies may infect foods with such
disease germs, and may in this way
affect human beings, and may also in
feet each other.
Flies spread tu loid fever. Typ
hold fever is a germ disease. 1t comes
from the introduction of the typhoid
germ into the system. This is done in
three ways-by fingers, by foods and
drinks, and by flies.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1912-05-09
Protective and Preventive Measures.

Flies must be kept from entering
dwellings. For the protection of the
house all windows and doors should
be screened.
Foods not on ice--such as fruit,
bread, cake, pie, etc. should be kept
in a screened safe, closet or box.
| Tables should not be kept continu-
ously set as they are in some boarding
houses. 1t is best to put things away
and set the table at meal times only.
| Flies have many natural enemies
such as spiders, etc, but these can
not be relied upon to exterminate
them.
There are many devices for catching
or killing flies One Of the most eff
fective is sticky fly paper. Certain
patent wire cage traps are also use
full. Burning pure Persian Insect
| (pyrethrum) powder is effective.
To prevent the propagation Of flies,
! all their breeding places must be found
and all rotting material and filth must
be removed and disinfected.
People should not throw the house
hold waste and garbage around the
back door or into the yard, but should
put all such waste that will rot
/
into az covered galvanized iron can.
Garbage should not be mixed with
ashes.
Stables >and pig pens should not be
built in back yards but should be re-
moved as far as possible from the
dwelling house or dairy.
Stable manure must not be permit
ted to accumulate on premises but
should be removed daily from the
stable or kept in covered pits or bins.
These pits should be screened and the
manure should be disinfected.
Especial care should be given to
|privies. Open privies should be
abolished
For disinfection of privies, stables,
etc, kerosense, chloride of lime or a
solution Of sulphate Of iron Il pound
to the GALLON may be used.

Certain persons are chronic typhoid
germ carriers and from their waste
(excrement or uriue) dies carry the
germs.
These typhoid germs may live under
favorable conditions in soil or on tow
|eling for many days after pollution.
It has been shown that typhoid
germs live in butter several months
and in milk from twenty to thirty
days. It must not be understood that
all typhoid cases come from aies. The
greater number come from polluted
water and milk, but cases coming
from flies are numerous.
If a fly gets into milk, the germs
left by the fly will increase very
rapidly at the ordinary temperature
of the room in summer.
Besides typhoid, flies are also ear

Flies feed on sputum from persons
suffering from consumption (tubercul-
osis) and exerete the germs which
cause that disease.
Flies like to feed around the eyes
Of sleeping children and in 50 doing
may cause ophthalrnia, a serious eye

Flies carry disease germs from priv

tacles they are attracted by the odor

Experiments show that the number
Of disease germs on single fly may
amount to over 100000.
Many germs are excreted. A fresh
fly speck contains many living germs.
A well fed fly passes excrement
more than twenty times day.
