A united campaign has been started
in Bonnie Terre to get rid of the fly,
and efforts are being made to getall
interested. Some time ago the Par
ent-Teacher Association began the
discussion of the subject Of the harm
that the small house fly could cause,
and since several plans have been I'M
der way. The pupils at school have
already organized to "swat the fly
and a contest for the largest number
of flies killed has been started be-
tween the different rooms. The Com
mercial Club has set May as Clean
Up Day, and it is hoped that every
one will unite in this effort to de-
stroy the breeding places Of the flies.
Killing one fly at this time Of the
year means rs much rs killing sew
eral thousand during the summer,
On Monday night "Thc Fly Pest a
very interesting and instructive reel
of moving pictures on the fly subject,
was shown at the Lyric Theater. and
the facts shown by it We're ideal and
could be made useful in the destruc-
ton of this pest. Screens will keep
out the flies, but its destruction means
more, and this is the idea held in
mind in organizing this campaign.

prevent such mortality, and the wan.
dering and generally insanitary mods
OF life and the small attention paid to
women and infants at childbirth nc.
count for the heavy infant mortality.
