uses to which the handkerchief has

BEGIN BATTLE NOW
This Is the Month to Wage War
Against Disease-carrying
Fly in the House.
In the Interests Of Public Health
Every One Must "Do His Bit-
Destroy the Few That MahA
Already Have Begun
to Annoy.

This Is the month for the housewife
to wage battle against the most deadly
OF all enemies Of health and sanitation.
the housefiy.
This Is the breeding time for the
fly, and for every one killed now, there
will be over million less In the sum-
mer.
So many women are careless about
flies.
They watch these dangerous pests
walking over cake and bread or hov-
ering about the sugar, without any
apparent anxiety.
They allow them to buzz about the
table without making any move to kill
them.
WiIful Neglect.
How can they. be 80 careless when
SO much has been printed every year
about the real dangers connected with
the fly?
It cannot be ignorance that makes
them SO negligent about killing off
these disease carriers.
No woman who reads the newspa-
pers can plead ignorance as an excuse
for such criminal negligence.
There is only one reason why any
woman can sit still and let the flies,
which they know carry thousands of
germs, walk all over the food, and
that reason is wilful neglect.
You, who wish to protect your fam
lilies from all possible illness must
carry on an unremitting fight against
the fly and now is the time to begin.
You may not think 1t worth while
to bestir yourself for the few speci-
mems you see about the house now.
But try to realize that each separ-
ate one Of the half dozen or dozen
flies you see buzzing around now Is
the probable broader Of million other
flies.
Later on In July and August. when
the house Is full Of these pests, you
will probably use every means to erad-
icate them.
But you will be too late then, for 1t
is impossible to wipe out thousands.
Now, however, by killing off every
fly you see, you can prevent your home
and others from being filled with a
swarm of thes. dangerous insects.
Read the statistics offered In the
bulletin by the boards Of health on
the activities Of the fly.
Learn how many deaths have been
traced directly or indirectly to the
same fatal source.
Ask any doctor to tell you his opin-
ion on the question as to whether the
Misunderstanding house fly does or
does not carry disease germs.
Expert Opinion.
A great many physicians declared
that the infantile paralysis of last
summer was spread by flies. 1t has
never been proved. but 1t is very prob
able they might have been instrumen-
tal.
Now, II after you have made these
Inquiries you are not satisfied as to
he dangers Of the house fly you GER
tainly should have a personal exam
nation by an alienist.
II you are already convinced Of the
very real dangers of the fly, and most
sensible women are, work with all
your might to exterminate those which
may now be roaming about your
rooms.
Use fiy-paper. swatters, and poisons
II necessary, but kill off the flies.
