TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS
One Of Our ToWnsWomen Tells
How She Rid Her Home of
Fly Pest Last Summer.

The thoughtful husband and wife
flies are to be seen about their home
during the summer. 1t should be the
proud boast of every family in this
town, for the absence of flies indicates
a clean and healthful home place.
We were discussing recently the
proposition of local campaign against
hies with one of the best known wom-
en- in this community.
Il will be glad to help in every way
possible" she declared, and I'm sure
that If we all work together we can
reduce the amount of disease so per
cent here this summer-especially
summer complaint among children and
typhoid fever among the men and
women.
do you know we had hardly any
dies around our place last summer
OF course, 1t was a cool summer, but ]
believe our efforts to be free of flies
had much to do with their absence.
I'VE screened the house early. We
hung two fly traps near the kitchen
door close to the garbage can. We put
one trap at the door opening from the
dining room into the side yard. We
burned most Of the garbage-peelingE
and things. We had the manure hauled
away every Saturday morning. And
we used plenty Of disinfectant around
the clubhouse. 1t wasn't much trouble
once we got the habit"

BE WISER, NOT SAD
Here's the Story Of a MOssback
Who Was Stubborn.

Community Dangers From Flies

Once there was q man in this town
who thought the germ idea was "all
bunk" He declared up and down that
it was a fad of the doctors anc =
scheme to scare people out OF their
wits and make money playing ON their
fears. He is wiser than he was nine
years ago, but the lesson was expen-
sive and sadie lost one of his chill
dren with scarlet fever because he
thought the disease wasn't catching.
This is an enlightened community,
but there are still lot of people here
who pooh-pooh all the fuss we're max
ing about the fiY danger. They ieer
and insist it's the work of bunch Of
slick doctors and fool women who
ought to be home minding their babies.
You would be surprised at the number
of mossbacks who think this fly talk
is "all bunk" too. mossback is all
right until he becomes a danger to the
health of the neighborhood by his stub
born ignorance in refusing to help
wipe out the sources of disease and
exterminate disease carriers.
Make it your business to convert the
mossbacks and get them into the army
