Don't Ignore
Fly Menace
This Season

Many persons do not realize what
serious menace the s,y is to the health
Of this comm nifty. II is characteristic
of the average man to ignore this kind
Of danger until it threatens his own
family. "Oh, the fly may be the means
of carrying a fatal disease to some
puny person" you reason, perhaps,
but there's no danger of his bringing

That is a characteristic attitude of
soldiers. Rather, it used to be so.
Doubtless you remember the awful toll
Of life taken among the soldiers en-

the death of most of those stricken

Fly Talk Is Dirty

When people discuss the fly evil
frankly and seriously they use dirty
talk necessarily. 1t is a nasty subject,
but we are bound to consider IT for our
own protection and to take steps to
abate the evil.
How does typhoid fever spTcau?
Generally it is communicated when
the solid and liquid food to be eaten
by healthy persons is contaminated
in some manner with human eXCre-
ment from someone who has the dis.
ease
This is where the house fly gets III
its filthy Work. Suppose your next
door noighbor has typhoid fever. The
waste matter cast from his intestinal
tract is emptied into the outside toilet
on his premises. Flies swarm about
the toilet vault until dinner time at
your house. Then some of them at
tend your meal They alight on the
food and poison it with germs-either
from their hairy feet or by depositing
q speck which also contains germs.
Do not pOOh,pooh this statement
Ask your doctor if it is not the gospel
truth Then get busy and help XIII th'
flies. Thus You may keep death out
Of your own home.

Consumption Germs
Spread by Flies

The great white plague-tuberculo-
sis-plain, deadly consumption of the
lungs, causes more deaths than any
other disease In the United States.
Flies are big factor in the spread OF
this frightful ailment. To go into de-
tails of the subject is very disgusting,
but disgust will not kill anyone. Con-
sumption will, and flies help,
Assuming that bedridden consump-
tIves deposit their sputum only in
closed vessels which flies cannot en-
ter, consider the careless consumptive
on the street. He has a coughing
spell, raises germ-laden pus from his
infected lungs and spits into the high
way. Flies Immediately swarm on
this sputum, feed cover their padded,
hairy feet with the stuff and buzz into
the nearest open window or door.

FLIES LAY eggs IN MANURE
Stable Dung Should Be Sprayed
and Removed Often, Says
Sanitary Specialist.

"The most effective method Of con.
trolling flies is by preventing fly
breeding" says Dr. w. A. Evans, an
eminent health authority and publ
cist. LAS q rule this means that no
collection Of moist manure is to be left
accessible to flies for as long as a
week during hot weather.
Fly eggs and larvae live for a week
in hot weather in moist manure. There
fore, If manure Is hauled away and
spread oftener than once a week it
will not breed flies The advantage Of
a daily removal is that 1t means no
manure boxes, manure pits or manure
piles, and practical experience proves
that give a stable an inch and 1t takes
an ell.
The only places that have entirely
conquered the fly nuisance remove
manure daily. The only manure re-
ceptacles are small and portable, II
prompt removal is not possible the
next most effective procedure is treat
ment with chemicals.
THE methods of treatment advised
by authorities are with boraX, or cole
mantle, or sulphate Of iron. II the
amount of manure is small and good
deal Of ground is available, spreading
in thin layers on the ground at inter
walls of three days or less is feasible
and efficient"

How to Make Fly Paper

The use Of sticky fly paper is better
than the use of poison to trap flies.
Once a fly alights on sticky paper he
is pretty certain to stay there until
he dies. If you place saucer contain
ing poison fly paper and water in the
dining-room window, the flies drink
the deadly stun but they do not die
Immediately. They may not die until
they reach the cream pitcher. If you
want to make your own sticky fly ma

oil and resin aud spread the substance

ROUSEFLY NESTS IN
FILTH..HELP TO
KILL HIM

The housely 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 filth until they sprout wings and
become flies. The flies swarm into
our homes, bringing with them the
germs of many diseases-es especially
typhoid, consumption and dysentery
which they deposit on our food.
Many OF our homes were saddened
Inst year by death resulting from dis
eases spread by flies. Therefore the
househy 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
fys greatest enemy, but If one man
cleans up his plaCe-remOying 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 1t is big one. 1t Is
suggested that our local authorities or
some of our active citizens call meet
ing and make plans at once to start
the campaign for fly determination,
Let us enlist the aid of the health of.
fcers, the physicians, the merchants,
the lawyers, the mechanics, the wom-
en- and the boys and girls.

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 il 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?

Cover Manure Box
and Garbage Can

A proper system Of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as a method of con,
trolling the fly nuisance. A 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 fly-prOof metal
bucket. The bucket should be washed
at intervals with I've 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-tilth.
Some of us are inclined to grumble
that campaigning against flies is
mighty troublesome. Well, the grum-
blers will find it less troublesome to
campaign effectually against flies than
to nurse a member Of the family
through a spell of typhoid fever-and
much less expensive.

Cubator for the bacteria which it car

peCially flies. swarmed around the filth

annoyance at meal time, and they
were the army's most deadly enemy

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.

sanitary disposal of garbage, Of sew

and dangerous from the medical point

munity should cooperate and act at

pughly, 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 a cleanup campaign is not i'm
possible. 1t means the spraying of
manure piles with a simple kerosene
solution every day or so, frequent re-
mOyal of manure piles, screened

use of fly swatters and fly paper by

No Fihh-No Flies!

destroy it so that it may breed no

Fly swatting may be a popular pas,

So far, 1t has proved ineffective. The

millions of them at a blow.

nure is a small receptacle-say,
tin tub or barrel which can be kent
covered from flies. Have this taken
away and spread on a field oftener
than once a week.
If you have an outdoor toilet, see
that the vault is closed up tight where
the house fits over it, Use sod to make
1t so if you cannot get cement. Use
plenty of lime on the sewage and keep
covers on the seat holes.
Keep your house screened, keep a
swatter handy and keep your eye
peeled-for during cold or rainy
weather a few flies almost surely will
wander in. Vigilance and action on
your part will so discourage the flies
after one or two seasons that they
will keep away from your premises.
Tell this to your neighbors and urge
them to join you in the campaign
against the fly pest. Pretty soon 9th
ers will see the advantage of santa
ton, and If there's any "git-up-and- git -
in the neighborhood it will not be long
until everybody in your end of the
town will have the sanitary habit.
1t is not expensive to get rid OF
flies. There are people who may feel
they cannot afford to buy a garbage
can or other little necessities of clean
premises. Where there's a will there's

spend any money, set your mind on
