The Fly Symptom Not a Disease


ful "swat' Of one female fly. And
when we consider that she is the
potential great grandmother to
the sixth generation in a single
season Of othermothers and grand
mothers equally prolific, we can
see that we are fighting no mean
foe.
1t is only by the most rigidly
enforced sanitary regulations, by
screens and "swatting" that the
number Of flies can be effectively
controlled. so long as bad sani-
tation exists and filth abounds,
flies will continue to be a scourge
which we will be compelled to
fight.
The fly is not. in the strict sense
Of the word, the cause Of disease,
only its carrier. Both inside its
body and outside, we may find
countless organisms which under
favorable conditions may produce
disease in the human subject. Fly
speclls" have been found upon en-
animation, to contain the yirulent
bacilli of typhoid. tuberculosis,
anthrax and other infectious dis
eases. after the fly had been feed
ing upon the infectious material.
Until we have learned to effect
lively screen out flies from all
stable refuse, to never expose ref
use, slops and garbage from our
houses, and until We have done
away with the open closet and the
open sewer We must continue to
fight flies and typhoid.
If we would do away with these
breeding places We would do away
with the fly 10 great extent and
, by proper sanitary precautions
wherever there is a case Of infec-
tions disease we would have no
epidemics.
But until this ideal is reached
we must continue to screen and
trap and kill the adult fly. We
must insist upon our food stuffs
being properly screened from flies
and dust in the market. By earn
est, concerted action the scourge
may be materially. lessened in
single year.
10 summarize we may say.
screen out, trap, kill the fly. De-
StrOy the breeding grounds. Dis
pose Of garbage and sewage by
sanitary methods.
Insist upon protection of food
stutfs, especially those eaten raw,
from flies and dust.
Burn or disinfect all material
that may be contaminated with
the germ of any infectious disease.

where he had seen machines goinu
over Main street at a rate of what
seemed to be 20 miles an hour. He
SAID 1t would be easy to measure
OFT a certain distance on Main
street and time some of the ma
chimes and prosecute violators of
the speed laws.
Mayor Hossinger remarked that
the town ordinance. which places
the limit at II miles an hour. also
prohibits reckless driving. After
some more discussion a motion
was made and carried. instructine
the town officer to enforce the or
dlnance pertaining to reckless
driving and exceeding the speed
limit.
Mayor llOssinger reported that
when former officer Allen Reed.
turned over the town property, he
refused TO give up a revolver cost
ING $l3. which was owned by the
town. His reason. he said. for re
fuslng was that he had an under
standing with the former Council
that he was to get one uniform a
year, and that last year the town
did not furnish him with a uni
form and therefore he was keeping
the revolver for the uniform that
he should have gotten. Members
Of Council. however. consider that
the revolver is the property of the
town and instructed Alderman
Loyett to request Mr.. Reed to give
II up and in case he refuses to
take any steps that are necessary
to secure it.
Council decided to have Il tele-
phone placed in the home of Town
Officer Shellenger. 50 that he can
be reached in the day time in case
he is wanted.
Council will hold a special meet
ing in the near future for the pur,
pose of revising the ordinances.
many of them being out Of date.
The Town Council met on Mon
day afternoon to hear appeals
from the assessment which was re-
Gently completed for the present
year There were only a few ap-
peals made. The total assessment
is about $SSO.0OO. This is an in
crease of about $35 900 over last
year The two hotels and Thomas
r. Claringbold property. for
which there is liquor merchant s
license. are assessed at 100000
each, which is slightly more than
one-tenth Of the total assessment
of the town. These are the larg-
est individual assessments in New
ark. The town exempts new in
dustries from taxation for town
purposes for 10 years. The exemp-
ton on the Thomas Wall Paper
factory expired last year and it is
assessed for the first time this
year for $4,000. The exemption
on the Continental Fibre Company
has not expired as yet.

Important as the anti-hy cam

prevails regarding it, which has
fcaused many to commence at the
wrong end Of the problem and then
condemn the whole because the eff

may be due to the very import.
ance of the subject that errors
have sprung up and in the blind
enthusiasm for doing something
the main factors in the case have
been overlooked Scientists as well
as laymen, have sometimes been
misguided and on account Of mis-
takes, this most cOmmendablc cru
sade against the fly has provoked
mrth where it should have had
the endorsement and called forth
the concerted action Of every sane
person i'll the community.
First of all we must consider the
fly symptom and not a disease.
Treat the symptom with all the
vigor possible, but do not forget
the disease that lies back of the
. symptom, This underlying cause
must be removed before the symp-
tons will disappear. In the prac-
tice Of medicine the physician who
only prescribes for symptoms
without looking for the cause of
the symptoms. will never be a sue
cess in his profession,
# we look for a moment at the
history and habits Of the ordinary
house fly we may be able to more
inteliigently and more effectively
take up the weapons at hand and
thus carry on a successful cam
/ paign.
Under existing conditions. flies
are almost a necessity. acting as
they do, as scavengers. If there
were no filth in which they could
breed and upon which they could
live we would have no flies to fight
II given the choice the fly ays her
eggs in piles of fermenting horse
or other stable manure. but she is
not adverse to using any kind OF
decaying organic matter or other
filth that may give food for the
larvae. Open outside closets and
surface sewers give unlimited fa.
cilities for breeding unlimited
numbers of flies, as well as direct
ly spreading infectious material
Under favorable conditions it
takes from ten days to two weeks
for the young fly to develop and be
ready for work. AS each female
fly becomes the parent Of approx
mately thousand flies in a sum
mer, it is easy to see the possible
beneficial results of each success

Mr.. Taft was not to be outdone,
He was inaugurated on March 4
1909. and just W. days later there
appeared in Golfers Weekly above
the signature of the president this
remarkable tribute to My Predez
cessor": ~
N one associates closely with Mr.;
Roosevelt without having the strong
est possible affection for him. His
mind, his disposition and his tenn
permanent are all of that class tina
would rather a him agree than
disagree with the people with whom
ne comes in contact. But this is not
TO say that he does not enjoy a con-
troVersy n a fight according to the
rules of the game, for he does. He
believes as strongly as possible in
teamwork and l. never served under
any other man, SO intensely loyal
to the cause which we were both
seeking to uphold and so generous
in his acceptance of the full respon-
sibiltty for his subordinates in the
work as Theodore Roosevelt. / never
served under another who was as
generous in his praise of those who
worked with him and who was as
willing to accord more than their
deserts to the men who were shoulder
to shoulder with him in the fight.
That characteristic Of his has been
calculated to tie men to him with
bonds of steel. . q . -cf,
The relation between Mr.. Roosevelt
and myself has been one of close and
sweet intimacy. 1t has never been
ruffled in the slightest degree, and l
do not think that we nave ever mis-
understood each other. 80
When the friction of the last few
months shall be forgotten, when the
mists of momentary irritation shall
have disappeared, the greatness of
Theodore Roosevelt as president and
leader Of men in one. Of the great
moral movements Of the country's
history will become clear to every
one and he will take his place in
history with Washington and Lin
