Flies Have Killed
More People Than :
: The Worlds Armies

A CCORDING to an eminent author
"A ity flies have been responsible
for the death of more human be-
1ngs than all the armies Of the world.
Flies are natures champion spread
ers of disease. If you were to examine
fly's legs through a sufficiently pow
erful microscope you would see good
deal Of decayed animal and vegetable
matter and millions of ugly wriggling
things, more repulsive looking than the
worst nightmare monsters.
They are disease germs which the
fly has picked up in the course of its
travels. Diphtheria, enteric, typhoid and
scarlet fever, influenza and many other
diseases are doubtless resting on the
legs of the fly.
Every time he alights on your head
he leaves a few germs. Presently he
will crawl over your food and leave
some more germs for you to eat. Per
haps he will drown himself in your
milk jug. That will suit the germs, be-
cause they breed quicker in milk than
In any other medium
If you are in good health you may
not come to much harm.
1t is to children that flies are most
dangerous. Whenever there is an ex-
ira number of flies the infantiIe NOR
tally always becomes abnormal.
One of the reasons why there is less
infantile disease, comparatively speak
ing, in the large towns than in the
country is because there are fewer
flies. The pigsties, cow sheds, stables,
refuse heaps and fertilizer piles of
the country breed so per cent of the
flies
1t is never too late to start. Keep
your rooms clean, cool and dry. Keep
all food in a cool, dark pantry, and
place covers over it if necessary. See
that the lids Of your garbage cans are
always on tight, and do not allow rub
bish to collect in your garden.
And whenever you see fly kill it.
Remember that every fly is your enemy,
