"FIy COMPLAINT"

Summer complaint" is what they
used to call the intestinal infections
that carry off so many thousands of
babies each summer; but now doctors
often call 1t Fly complaint" for they
are frequently caused by common
house flies, which carry the disease
germs to baby's mouth.
The Panama Canal zone was once
so unwholesome a place that white
men could not live there for any
length of time. The government ex-
terminated flies and mosquitoes and
now the zone is as free of disease as
any place.
Screen your house early. Keep out
all the flies you can, swat every fly
that sneaks in, and destroy all refuse
heaps that might be breeding places
for flies.
One doctors bill saved will pay for
screening a house, and may save a
life, too-Kansas City Star.
