Effective Folder Goes Into
Every Home in Barnes
County," Starve the
Fly" Slogan.

If the rural districts of Barnes
county are not comparatively free of
flies, it will not be the fault of Miss
Nelson, county superintendent of
schools.
Miss Nelson is making prepare.
tons for an active campaign against
the house fly, and as a starter, has
sent out folders to the schools Of the
county, to be distributed among the
children. 1t is expected that the
folders will in this way be circulated
among the homes Of the county, where
they will do their greatest good
Following is the text of the folder
to be sent out:
| Dear Sir or Madam:-This is to in
form you that we will be at your
screen door earlier than usual this
summer, with choice line Of sum-
mer. infections, including Typhoid
Fever, Diphtheria, etc. Special in
ducements for babies are offered in
a new line of bacteria, insuring long
illness and slow death.
! Every July, August and September
we increase the sickness and death of
our babies several hundred per cent;
We cause babies to die by the, thou
sands. We laugh at our enemies who
dole out insect powder, which only
gives us good drunk; and fly poison,
which doesn't materially interfere with
our business. No one can hurt us un-
til the vault, manure heap, open gar
bage pail and dirty yards are wiped
out. OF course this won't be done
right away.
Yours for dirt, disease and death,
HOUSEFLY & co.
In view of this warning, let's all
become citizens Of the land of Swat!
New evidence Of the fly's misdeeds
accumulates every daay. The latest
convicts him Of crime Of harboring
the germs of infantile paralysis, the
deadly disease which is the horror and
fear of all parents who love their chill
dren. Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, dip.
iberia and scarlet fever are only few
of the other diseases which the fly
spreads.
If "Swat the f1y!" is good slogan
for mankind to adopt, wherever the
pestilential creature drags his filthy
feet and strokes his germ laden wings
with his death bearing legs, scattering
millions of germs in the process
"Starve the fly" Is better.
A clean home is the fy's greatest
enemy. It is most essential, therefore
that the home and its surroundings
be kept scrupulously clean and sani-
tary. Allow no filth or decaying mat
ter of any kind to accumulate on or
near your premises. Sprinkle kero-
sine over contents of privy vaults,
keep garbage receptacles tightly COW
cred; clean the cans every day, and
the boxes at least every week. See
that all manure is removed at least
once a weekly so doing you will
eliminate the breeding places. To get
rid of the pest, screen your doors,
windows and porches. Screen all
food. especially milk. Do not allow
them to come in contact. with the
haby's bed, his bottle Or comforter.
