LET'S BEGIN TO SWAT
'EM EARLY THIS
SEASON

The most effective time TO fight is
before the enemy is ready. Why not
open a swatting campaign before the
fly is ready? That would give a strate-
gic advantage which would keep the
pest in check.
One can hardly imagine anything
more desirable than a hyless COM
munity. OF course, it is hardly posi-
BILE to eliminate all flies, but expert
ments have shown that flies can be
eliminated TO such an extent that they
will be hardly noticeable.
Flies breed In manure and other ami
NAL and vegetable waste. By eIiminat-
ing these breeding places or by treat
ing them with substances which viii
kill the fly larvae, flies can be almost
entirely eliminated from any farm or
community.
BY starting early, any community
can practically eliminate the fly nui-
sance but if the fly is given an oppor-
tunity to propagate, determination is
well-nigh impossible. The trouble with
most anti-f1y campaigns is that they
are not started until the flies begin
to give trouble Then it is too late for
effective work.

CHAPTER xIl-continued.

But when he opened his eyes later,
and with clearer head, he found food
and drink near. Unable to believe his
sight, he fancied his wavering senses
deceiving him, until he put out his
hand and felt actually the substance
of what he saw. He took up bottle
of milk incredulously, and slipped at it
with the caution of a man not unused
to periods of starvation. He broke
eggs and swallowed them, at intervals,
hungrily from the shell and meat he
cached, animal-like, in nearby cram
MES, and, manlIke, in his pockets.
He was determined, if she should
come again, to intercept his visitor.
For forty-eight hours he tried cat-naps
with an occasional sandwich to keep
up his strength. Nan returned I'M
seen, and disappeared despite his
watchfulness. A new supply of food
proved she had been near, but that it
would be hard to time her coming.
When she did come, the third time,
an innocent snare discovered her pres
ence. It was just before day, and De
Spain had so scattered small obstacles

TYPHOID FLY TRUTHS
THAT EVERYBODY
SHOULD KNOW

1. Where do young flies live? In
filth and manure.
2. Where do flies first dirty their
mouths and feet? In every kind of
filth imaginable, being bred in filth
they are infected by it
8. Is anything too dirty or bad
smelling for flies to eat? No.
4. Where does the fly go when it
flies from the vault, the manure pile
or the spittoon? (a) 1t may wipe its
feet upon the clean lips of your sleep
ing baby; Cb) 1t may carry germs into
the open wound on your hand; (c) 1t
may track over the butter, the meat,
or take a bath in the milk.
5. Is the fly merely nuisance? No.
1t is very dangerous.
6. Why is the fly considered dan
gerous? 1t is mans worst pest. 1t is
more dangerous than rattlesnakes or
tarantulas. 1t carries deadly infec-
tious diseases.
Z. What diseases does the fly car
ry7 1t carries typhoid fever, tubercu-
losis. and various intestinal diseases.
s. How does the fly carry disease
germs? The germs stick to its legs,
mouth-parts, hairs, wings, and feelers.
o What is the correct name of this
human pest? The typhoid fever fly.
10. Has it ever caused anyone's
death? 1t killed more American sol
diers in the Spanish-American war
than all the weapons of the SpaniaTdS.
1t has killed thousands of soldiers dur
ing the present European war.
IL. Why is typhoid fever so preva-
lent during the summer and fall? Be
cause flies are most numerous during
those seasons.
II. Why is typhoid fever common
in one community and not in another?
Largely because the common house fly
is abundant in one locality and is con-
trolled in the other.
Is. Where are flies most abundant?
Where there is most filth.
IA. How shall we kill the fly? (a)
Destroy all filth about the house and
yard; (b) Put lime into the vault and
over the manure; (c) Trap all flies
before they enter your home by using
wire fly traps; (d) Kill all flies, large
or small. with a "swatter;" (e) Use
sticky fly paper or fly poisOns around
he house or store; ~ Pour q borax
solution over manure, filth or other
places where the fly may rear its
young.
