He Breeds Disease.
What does he do in these places of
exploration? He wipes his feet on the
food, bathes in the milk, or browns in
it, and annoys the sleepers. If there
is sick person around, consump-
tive Ior instance, he alights on the
patients lips or invades his sputum
cup and takes on n load of deadly
germs. This he distributes on the
food, on the baby's lips or on your own
if you are not very careful to shoe
him away.
A busy deaths head is the house fly.
He killed more American soldiers in
the Spanish-American war than the
bullets of the Spaniards, and was the
direct cause of much of the typhoid
fever in the United States last year.
He cannot be ignored safely.
The only way this town can effec.
tually exterminate flies is to make an
organized effort. Our municipal au.
thorities and health officers should
map out a campaign Immediately and
enlist the active aid of everybody in
the community.

men 1t was inevitable that some should
be disease carriers. The waste matter
which they threw off acted as an in
cubator for the bacteria which it car
ried. Flies and other insects, but es-
pecially flies, swarmed around the filth
sinks and fed. They were n frightful
annoyance at meal time, and they
were the army's most deadly enemy
for they distributed dangerous germs
among all the men. As result fever
and bowel diseases became almost an
epidemic. AS a nation we were taught
a solemn lesson about the menace of
insects Our army medical men learned
more in the Philippines. in Cuba. in
Porto Rico and In the Canal Zone
about the relation of flies, mosquitoes
and lice to the spread of disease than
had previously been learned in two or
three thousand years.
Cleaner Than Homes.
Visit any of our army encampments
today. They are kept cleaner than the
average housekeeper keeps her prem
ises. Special attention is given to the
sanitary disposal of garbage, of sew
age and of other waste matter coming
from the camp hospital. Elaborate
means of protection against flies. mos
quitoes, lice and bedbugs are taken
but flies are considered the most filthy
and dangerous from the medical point
of view.
1t is safe to say that II this COM
munity should cooperate and act at
once so as to clean up the town thor
oughly, with special attention given
to the breeding places of flies. the
average of serious illness here would
be reduced so per cent for the months
of June, July, August and September.
Such cleanup campaign is not i'm.
possible. 1t means the spraying of
manure piles with simple kerosene
solution every day or So frequent re-
moval of manure piles, screened
toilets, covered garbage cans ard the
use of fly swatters and fly paper by
everyone.

How to Make Fly Paper

The use of sticky fly paper is better
than the use of poison to trap flies.
Once fly alights on sticky paper he
is pretty certain to stay there until
he dies. If you place a saucer contain
ing poison fly paper and water in the
dining-room window, the flies drink
the deadly stuff but they do not die
Immediately. They may not die until
they reach the cream pitcher. If you
want to make yc1r own sticky fly pa
per, boil together equal parts of castor
Oil and resin and spread the substance
on tough paper before 1t cools.

Make War on
Flies: Ward
off Disease

In order to make this community a
better place to live in, we must declare
war on the house fly at once. If we do
not slip up on him and strike the first
hard smashing blow, he is going to
come at us in overwhelming numbers.
How may we successfully fight the
fly? By destroying or removing his
breeding place, the manure pile, re-
moving all garbage and making the
privy vault fy-proof, and by keeping
our yards and alleys clean. We must
screen our houses and use the swatter
and sticky fly paper without let-up.
Where is the fly born? In filth. gem
orally in horse manure and outhouses,
sometimes in the flesh of dead and rot
ting animals-never in any clean,
wholesome place. The life cycle of
the fy's birth runs about ten days
from the time the egg is laid until the
mature insect is born. A maggot is
hatched from the egg. The maggot be-
comes pupa Ia state corresponding
to the tadpole state in frog life), and
the pupa becomes the mature fly that
helps to make life miserable for us in
warm "edIueT.
Flies Live In Filth.
Where does the fly live? Where
there is filth and there is nothing too
filthy for the fly to eat. He eats clean
food also, but his special delight seems
to be wallowing in filth, then buzzing
into the house and wiping his feet and
wings on substances you are about to
eat. Watch him and see for yourself.
Think Of the most sickening, dis
gusting places where you have seen
flies. Think of them until your palate
is light and the pit of your stomach
ticklish. For If you think hard
enough about this dangerous, nasty
insect pest you will help fight his
whole tribe with all your might.
The fly's favorite place of residence
is in the manure pile, the privy-vault,
the garbage can and the spittoon. But
