"KILL WINTER FLIES"
Bulletin From New York Indersed
by official Here.

xiii the winter flies.
Now is the time to begin next
summers campaign.r
This advice. offered in a bulletin
issued by the committee on pollueon
and sewage of the Merchants Asso-
citation, of.New York, a copy of which
has been received by the Health De-
partment, IL heartily Endorsed by
Health Officer w. C. Woodward.
The hulletin's statement that "these
winter flies will become progenitors
of next summers countless billions
is backed up by the Health Depart
nfent's estimate that the progeny of
one fly from April 80 10 July 10 will
number s.2T3.6s4,211.
"The continuous warm weather of
the fall has brought 90 life many gen.
erations that would have persisted by
the frost" says the associations bull
letin. This multiplied army has now
invaded houses to seek shelter for the
winter in some secluded nook or cor
ner, to emerge in the early spring
and start colonies o. incompatible
numbers.
Don't trust to the cold to kill
them. Don't assume that they are
dead when you find them lying on
floors and window sills in hsed rooms.
They are playing 'possum,; and win
revive when the temperature rises
Clean UP the house and give spe-
cial attention to every out-of-the-way
place where flies may Turk. Make
sure there Is nothing left which may
harbor their eggs. -

and shouted to his comrades. They
