NF unusual interest was the re-
cent decision OF French
court that the breeding and
collection OF flies due to failure prop
erly to take care OF large garden
was legally and hygienically a nui-
sance and a menace to the public
health and welfare.
DR.. Edward Ross, brother of Sir
Ronald Ross the discoverer Of the
mosquito as the agent of malaria, in
pointing out that house flies carry
diseases from one person to another
offers a practical method Of reducing
the fly hosts in a community and
simultaneously abolishing the human
malades spread by them.
House flies breed at a great rate,
especially in warm weather. The to-
tai number killed is so small, in COM
parison to the number born, that the
swatting campaign has not met with
great success.
The best method to prevent house
nies from breeding is to observe strict
cleanliness in the homes and on the
streets. This method was successfully
carried out along the Panama Canal
In the campaign against malaria and
yellow fever. which are conveyed
from one person TO another by mos

An Easy Cure for Flies

House flies choose dirt in which to
breed. AS soon as the weather be-
gins to get warm each female fly lays
about $50 eggs. The eggs hatch into
tiny maggots. At the end Of five days
each maggot becomes a rolled up,
bean shaped chrysalis, and after an
other five days each chrysalis gives
birth to the six legged whiskered
bristly flying insect known as the
house fly. Blue-bottle flies breed in
a similar manner. The house fly and
the lesser house fly convey disease
by bathing their legs In germ laden
material. They carry these germs on
their legs and on the lips of their
telescope proboscdes, and in this
way the germs are scattered in food.
These germs are often swallowed by
the flies and multiply inside their
bodies. Afterward the concentrated
disease focus Is again deposited
wherever the fly settles.
Flies can easily be eXterminated II
the laws of cleanliness and sanitation
are strictly observed. All fly lairs or
breeding places should be destroyed
These pests will he got rid of II all
unclean places are made clean at
least once a week. If this In done the
fly maggots will not have a chance ia
come to maturity. The press has in
terested itself in the determination of
these pests and andi-hy campaigns
