SAVE The CHILDREN
From InfantiIe Paralysis by Cover
ing the
FLY-BREEDING MANURE PILES

Several years ago medical experts
after long and careful testing proved
conclusively that our dirty home-bred
pest the FLY, Caused big percentage
of the cases of tuberculosis, typhoid
and other fevers, plants
of small children, etc., by carrying the
deadly germs of all those diseases.
On top of this evil record for causing
these scourges, it has just been proved
by the Pennsylvania State Board of
Health officer, DR.. Dixon, that the
dread infantile paralysis germ is also
carried by flies.
Monkeys inoculated with germs taken
from flies caught in the room where lay
a child sick with infantile paralysis,
showed all the symptoms of that awful
disease, including the paralysis.
One would think that in the face of
such terrible case made against this
filthy homemade pest, the FLY, that
everybody who loved children, and had
the welfare of the town at heart, would
be up in arms, aroused to red-hot indig-
nation to fight the pest.
Once more. 1t is also proved that at
least Is or 80 per cent. of all flies are
bred in manure piles, the rest chiefly in
all sorts of rotting filth, open garbage
cans, etc.
Middletown is just now jubilating
over the handsome home the New Cen
tury Club has just builded for itself 1t
has long been priding itself upon the
useful things its members have done
for town and state benefit.
Now, the mothers of Middleto Hn who
are trembling for their little ones lest
this awful plague suddenly light on one
of them, appeal to the ladies of the
New Century Club to come out and in
sist upon the enactment by our Town
Board of law requiring the covering
of the pest breeding manure piles and
the covering of all garbage cans, ETC.
=, Is it unreasonable to say that the
health and comfort of this community,
III. .
.Slould be of more account than the few
dollars it will cost to remove this need
less peril of the open manure pile?
Are these little ones to be weighed
in the balances against these few ma
nure pile dollars?
Over a year ago the winter drew up
an ordinance requiring all manure IN
the town limits to be kept in pits or
pens made absolutely fly tight.
This can be done for small outlay by
wire screening or digging. In fact the
U. S. Government has proved that 60
or more per cent of manure values in
open piles leach away. These lost ma
nure values would soon pay for the cost
of digging pit or making fly tight
receptacle.
The Town Board refused to enact
that ordinance. They will enact it if
the ladies of the New Century Club,
thinking the babes and children of Mid
dletown more worth than its manure
piles, will create public sentiment de-
manding such enactment. Read the
Transcript editorial in this issue.
