H0uSeh0lderS Urged to
Fight Fly Non

Cooperation of all the household
ers in the District in maintaining
their premises in a cleanly condition,
thereby contributing to the elimina-
ton of the fly and mosquito, Is urged
by the Health Department in it's
weekly bulletin just made public.
During the fiscal year ended June
20. it Is stated. the sanitary inspec-
tors found 534 private alleys, 2S7
areas. 353 cellars, 1,s10 sheds, 4,432
yards. 1853 vacant lots in filthy con-
dition. Most of the refuse having &C
curnulated during the winter months.
In permitting such conditions the
householder disregards the primary
principles Of sanitation. and has no
reason to be surprised IL he finds in
the early spring an abundance of
flies and mosquitoes. carriers Of in

says the report
a small amount of intelligent self
help on the part Of the head Of the
household will prevent such condi-
tons occurring, and thereby secure
better health for self and family and
the public generally.
In many instances ashes are al
lowed to accumulate in a heap in
the cellar, area, yard, and shed. This
heap at once becomes a convenient
place for members of the household
to deposit refuse that should be
placed in the garbage can: also for
depositing unciean rags, paper, and
household refuse generally. These
heaps then become excellent breeding
places for the early flies, as flies will
breed in such filth. The householder
should, therefore, make il his bust
ness to see that the refuse incident
to housekeeping Is placed in proper.
