statements, scarcely suitable for break fast table perusal, deserves wide cir culation for it's plain portrayal of the evils that follow in the train of the fly. The indictment is lengthy one, but it is true bill. The fly is put in the same class with the mad dog, the snake in the grass and the wild animal roaming at will, for the fly Is insidious. He turks in every corner. He plants his disease germs on your bread. He buries them in your butter. He drowns them in your baby's milk bottle There is no escape If he once enters your home. The lesson IS obvious put your screens in early. Don't wait until the enemy is legion but start the battle while there Is some chance of winning. The fly must go.
 Recent issues of the medical journals have devoted much space to literature on the fly and it's menace to health, and a vigorous campaign has been started against the pest
 "Once flies were considered merely a nuisance but since science began deving successfully for causes of the ills that afflict mankind 1t has ben discovered that they were the carriers of disease germs and primarily responsible for many of the levers that are deadly during the summer months. In the interest of healht it therefore becomes important to devise means of eliminating flies or reducing their number by as many millions are possible.
 ''rhe campaign against mosquitoes has driven yellow fever out of cities where it formerly reaped a yearly harvest, and has rendered remote the probability of that disease in this country. A vigorous war against the house fly is the next thing in order.n
