CoUer Manure Box
and Garbage Can

A proper system Of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as a method of son
trolling the fly nuisance s proper
method of garbage collection and dis
posal is next in Importance. The gar.
bage should be drained. wrapped in
paper and collected in a fy-proof metal
bucket. The bucket should be washed
at intervals with lye soap and water
and then sponged with kerosene in
water
The foregoing advice is from the IA
nous sanitary authority, DR.. w. A.
Evans of Chicago. In our local cam
paign we should utilize this informa-
ton to the utmost. 1t has long been
recognized that swatting the fly would
never rid the community of his whole
tribe forever more. We have learned
that we must make war on him early
in the season by getting rid of his
breeding places and his natural
sources of food supply-flth.
Some of us are inclined to grumbIe
that campaigning against flies is
mighty troublesome Well, the grum-
blers will find it less troublesome to
campaign effectually against flies THAI
to nurse a member of the family
through spell of typhoid fever-and
much less expensive.

HOUSEFLY NESTS IN
FiLTH--HELP TO
KILL HIM

The housetiy is a foul and dangerous
little pest. The female lays her eggs
in manure. in human excrement or in
the flesh of dead and rotting animals
never anywhere else. The eggs hatch
INTO maggots and the maggots feed on
the hlth until they sprout wings and
become flies. The flies swarm into
our homes, bringing with them the
germs of many Diseases especially
typhoid, consumption and dysentery
which they deposit on our food
Many of our homes were saddened
last year by death resulting from dis
eases spread by flies. Therefore the
housefly is our deadly enemy and we
ought to kill him off as far as possible
before warm weather comes. To do
this effectually will require the coop
Grafton of the whole community.
Cleanliness. generally speaking, is the
fiy's greatest enemy, but if one man
cleans up his place-removing all
barnyard filth. keeping garbage cans
covered. etc.-and his neighbors on
either side do not follow suit. the one
man will not be protected from flies
and disease.
This war on flies is a job for the
whole town, and it is big one It is
suggested that our local authorities or
some of our active citizens call a meet
ing and make plans at once to start
the campaign for fly determination.
Let us enlist the aid of the health of
hcers, the physicians, the merchants,
the lawyers. the mechanics, the wom-
en- and the boys and girls.
1t will be necessary to have a num-
Der OF committees to look after the
many angles of the work and see that
proper preventive measures are taken
to remove the opportunities for flies
to lay eggs and hatch them. Swatting
the fly is ineffective-you only kill
one fly at a swat. But if you begin
earlier by spraying manure piles and
the contents of clubhouse vaults with
kerosene or with chloride of lime, so
that fly eggs will not hatch in these
masses, you prevent the birth OF mil
lions of flies.
The state board Of health will be
glad to send US all kinds of informa-
tion helpful in carrying on a fly war,
If our local doctors have none on hand.
After the campaign organization is
formed, about the first thing to do is
to get reliable information and put it
in the hands of our people.
Who will make the first move to
start the campaign?

No Fihh-No EIiesl

Flies and filth go together. No filth.
no nles! About the only good thing
you can say about the fly is that his
presence should stimulate you to hunt
up the place where he was born and
destroy it so that it may breed no
more of his kind.
Fly swatting may be a popular pas
time. 1t has been talked about much.
So far, it has proved ineffective. The
well-meaning person, applying the
swatter at every opportunity. kills one
1y at time. The removal of the con-
tents Of single manure box will swat
millions of them at a blow.
Screens and swatters are a good
thing. but a clean neighborhood is the
best. Get busy!

One way to control the fly is
to catch it in such a trap as
is shown above. The trap NAV
be placed near the garbage can.
or any other place that the flies
are sure to come. A simple
and effective trap may be made
from a grocery box by substi-
tuting wire netting for the top
and two sides, cutting a round
hole in the bottom and inserting
in it a wire netting cone with
an eighth-inch opening at the
bottom and haif-inch opening
at the top. Some article of
food, preferably a fish head.
should be placed inside for bait.
The trap must be elevated sew
eral inches above the ground, so
as to give the flies a chance
to enter. When the trap is full,
it may be emptied by shaking
its contents through a small
opening, ordinarily closed by a
sliding door The trap described
and shown in the Illustration is
a particularly effective one, as
it was planned with a view to
the fly's habits. The odor of
food leads the fly to enter the
trap at the bottom. Once inside
it is attracted to the top by the
light. When it gets out of the
wire cone it cannot escape. The
trap has the additional virtue OF
being inexpensive. 1t may be
made at cost of about twenty
cents and about a half hours
time
