PASS THAT FLY ORDINANCE

DIR. Flexner, of Chicago, one of the
foremost authorities in the world upon
bacteriology and germ diseases, has
uttered warning which should be
needed by every city, town and village
in the land, namely, that this year may
see renewal with increased virulency
and upon far greater scale, of the
dread scourge of infantile paralysis
which in 1916 terrified our citizens in
city and country, aud caused such big
loss of child life.
1t has been conclusively proved that
there is an immediate relation between
hy-breeding manure piles. and the preva-
lence of infantile paralysis. In other
words, that flies, rs to 85 per cent. of
which are bred in manure piles, have
been proved to be carriers of this awful
disease.
Now the mothers of NIiddletown are
again asking the Town Board if thew
mean to pass an ordinance requiring
the covering of all manure piles and
other filth in the town, making them
absolutely 1y-tight.
If they think the babes and little chill
dren of Middletown are more deserving
of protection than the manure heaps
they will reverse their former action.
and pass such an ordinance, and do so |
at once. Spring will soon be here, and
our crop of filthy, disease-carrying flies
will be bred by millions in these open
manure piles and issuing thence carry
the germs of many deadly diseases, in
cluding this cruel, new scourge of the
young-infantile paralysis. The Tran
script In the name of our children calls
1pon the Town Board to act now in this
highly important matter.

his grief in silence, hoping thereby to
lessen the shock to his wife and daugh-
ter
