SWAT BEDBUG
SAYS Z|EGLER
Is a CoWardiy Creature Who
Attacks While You
SIeeD.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. d4-Have
you little bedbug in your home?
If you have, don't be ashamed to
confess 1t. DR.. S. Lewis Ziegler, do
rector of the department of health and
charities, says it's no disgrace, be-
cause bedbugs sometimes happen IN
the best of families.
The housewife needn't be morti-
fed Director ziegler says, Hif she
finds one of these bugs in her home.
Chances are; she isn't to sblame at all
The bedbug travels from house to
house and may make its home in one
place and take its meals in another.
Doctor Hiegler considers this bug
such a menace by reason of It's DIS
ease carrying habits that he makes it
the topic of his weekly health bulle~
tin. After explaining how these bugs
carry typhoid. scarlet fever, smallpox.
bubonic plague, infantile paralysis and
leprosy, he tells how to get rid of
them.
"F;rst, find their hiding place and
destroy it, he says. "Loosened wall
paper may have to be taken from the
walls or pasted faster. Coal oil may
be Injected by an atomfzer. brush or
feather into cracks and crevtces, al
ways remembering that it is inflam-
mable. 1t will destroy both the adult
bug and the eggs. BY far the best
agents are the scrubbing brush, soap
and hot water. to which may be add
ed washing soda or I've. Insect pow
ders are not particularly effective. !.
"oil or turpentine or solution OF
one ounce of corrosive subltmate
(polson) to one pint of alcohol also
may be used in destroying these pests
The common cockroach and little red
house ant are the natural enemies of
the bedbug. When the house is over
run with bedbugs. fumigation by sui
.phur is efficacious and this will be
done for you by the bureau of health,
on request"
