FAILURE TO KILL FLIES
BLOT UPON CIVILIZATION
DR.. L. O. Howard Believes
Preventive Methods Best
to Avoid Danger.

That the failure to- destroy house flies
in a community is blot on civilized
methods of life is the opinion of DIR. l.. o.
Howard chief of the bureau of notomology
of the United States Department of .Agri-
culture, who probably has made more
exhaustive study of the insect than any
other scientist in America.
DR.. Howard is watching with interest
The Stars campaign against the pest and
believes that the preventive methods be-
ing urged constitute the only feasible
means of eradicating this source of dam
ger to mankind
Acts as Freight Train.
The conclusion reached by the Depart
ment of Agriculture expert is that the
by acts as freight train for the output
of Germville. The carrying of typhoid
germs. he says, is the f1y's chief asset,
but. in addition. the insects manage to
distribute few hundred thousand tuber-
bacilli. AS general thing, every fly car
ries a quarter of a. million bacilli and
spends most of the summer months in
scattering free samples wherever he goes.
careful collection of garbage in cans
Watertight floors for stables, absolute
cleanliness and careful inspection by
board Of health employees are the fly pre-
vention methods suggested by DR.. How
ard.
Prevention the Solution.
The final solution Of the fly nuisance,
he points out, must rest entirely on pre-
vention-that is to say, the breeding
places of flies must be done away with.
The majority of flies being reared in
stable refuse, 1t is stated, would seem to
point the way for the successful abate-
ment of the fly nuisance.
DIR. Arthur l.. Murray Of the District Of
Columbia health department, who is SUI
pervising The Stars campaign, intends to
make an inspection of a large number of
stables and suggest to owners steps that
may be taken to prevent these places from
serving as fly hatcheres. The Star already
has sent to more than 100 liverymen a
letter urging their cooperation in the
campaign. and it is the plan of DIR. Muir
ray to follow this up with personal visits,
and attempt to arouse general interest in
the effort being made to wipe out the
germ carrying insect.

Waterville WOmans'
Club Holds Meeting,

That old, old saying of Charity begins
at home" was rather well exemplified at
the first meeting of the season. of the
Watervile Woman's Club. held Tuesday
evening, in Library hail. with the domes-
tic science committee in charge. All
: that was said and done had a direct or
indirect bearing on the home or the
housewife herself. The program was
both iHstructing and entertaining, and
was especially entertaining in it's con-
Guiding number, when Il series of tab
, leaux. representing the universal ads of
foodstaffs or commodities familiar to the
home was presented. Mrs. G. NJ. Dag
Sett in an article styled IAN EDITORIAL
told of the high cost of living now preya-
lent and how women could help to de-
crease it. Mrs. Philbrick, in an Informal
talk on marketing brought to light the
two modern modes-that of purchasing
personally or of ordering by phone and
abiding by the judgment OF the dealer.
Some, in an open discussion that fol-
lowed, favored the former while others
concluded the latter to be as satisfactory
and as profitable.
Mrs. Glarkin with the aid of two
dressed figures showed in her address on
the fads and frills of fashion the bad
and the good taste in dressing. She
showed wherein some women made
themselves appear ridiculous by donnlng
fashionable apparel. while they could be
equally if not more attractive in plain
but tasty dresses. A resume of the lit
tie helpful things that women have
learned and remembered was given in
