Here's 70 Mr.. Fly

To begin right, remove the fly

An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of swats.
Now is the time to surprise Mr..
Fly by thwarting his fond hopes OF
40 million descendants.
A fly's only chance Of being a
worse factor in carrying disease is
to grow as many feet as centipede.
A fly is no respecter of places or
persons. He will crawl from a place
of filth and fly right to the lips of
the sweetest baby in town.
II your grocer, butcher, baker, or
milk dealer does not protect your
purchases from flies, ask him to do
SO. He wants to do right, but why
should he care more than you?
A hint to the cook-when using
canned goods, rinse out the can be-
fore throwing 1t into the store house
or rubbish box. A fly will not favor
q tin can that has no decayed bit
of vegetable or fish clinging to it.
These paragraphs may be nause-
ating, and unlovely, and suggestive
of filth, and decay and disease, well
so are flies. M. N.
