 But whatever the lack of activity on the part of the state, it may be said the City Of New YorK, through interested individuals and various pri- vate societies, is leaving nothing un- done to inform the public. and to get q real anti-fly crusade started Half dozen years ago the matter was ten tatiyely taken up by the Merchants association committee. which was formed to investigate the pollution Of the waters of the state One day two members Of this committee, Edward Hatch, Jr., and Dr. Daniel D. Jack son. were examining the condition of docks along the waterfront of this city past which the sewage of the town is carried, when they noticed enormous numbers Of flies settling here and there. By close observation they found that the flies congregated especially on floating sewage bred very rapidly In order to test the matter whether such flies would car " disease to buildings located some distance from the docks, a number os fly traps were placed in and under the docks, nearly two hundred being distributed around Manhattan Island and at Bay Ridge. It was easy to as- certain from captured flies what di- sease germs were on their feet. Then health records of deaths from typhoid fever were plotted down in map Of She city, and it was found that on overwhelming proportion of deaths oc- cured among people living within 2 few blocks Of the waterfront; the only location having health records of deaths from typhoid being certain sections where old-fashioned open toi- lets were still used.
 As soon as this was once establish ed no time was lost in getting public spirited citizens and societies inter- ested in a campaign to educate the city of New York
 It is said that by means of a red powder scattered over piles Of gar. bage and other filth flies have been traced in many cases directly into sick rooms, as well as to markets and fruit stalls where foodstuffs were displayed withOdt being screened. By such means as this flies were traced during an outbreak of typhoid fever in Plattsburgh. \. Y., The local

filth in which flies may breed.
 Co By keeping traps set in covers of garbage cans and on porches them before they can enter our homes.
 26 What particular good would come from killing winter flies?
 Killing the flies that live over win ter means killing the mother flies be- fore they can lay eggs in the spring. 27. If we did clean up all the man ure and filth from the neighborhoOd would not flies swarm from other parts?
 A fly seldom travels over 800 yards from its breeding place.
 2S. With what are the traps baited? If used in the cover of a garbage can the garbage is the bait If used otherwise. bread and milk is an at tractive bait.
 29. Will all the flies go into the trap?
 Yes, if there is no other food about. 90. Have any one ever succeeded ln keeping his house free from flies without screens?
 Yes, number of people have used the method above indicated, and have done away with screen windows and doors.
 31 Will the city of Cleveland ever be free from flies?
 Yes, just as soon as every one does his part in his own house and yard Cleveland will be city of flyless stores, markets. snd homes.
 Che of the most Interesting expert ments made last summer was high ly successful effort to teach children the truth about the necessity of eX- terminating the typhoid fly. Those at the head of the movement realized that if aroused to action the children of the average American family would kill off more flies than the parents would have time to find. So num- Der of individuals. newspapers, and societies offered money prizes for the best essays on the subject, written by boys and girls under 16 years Of age.
