KILL FLIES NOW TO
PREVENT DISEASES

Attention has been called to the
fact that now is the time to begin
fighting flies for the flies killed
now mean many millions less flies
during the hot summer months. While
no concerted campaign aaginst flies
has been started, this will come later,
and the following information is
published for these concerned and
those concerned means everybody.
Although the life of a fly is only
about forty days for breeding is so
rapid that except for natural enemies
and mans efforts the fly would soon
render earth uninhabitable for human
beings.
They multiply faster than any 9TH
er known pest and are more danger
GUS to human life than war. They are
conveyors of the most deadly dis
eases, including typhoid, diphtheria,
dystentery and infantile paralysis.
Science has learned lot of inter-
esting facts about flies and how to
exterminiate them. By means of a
scientifically constructed trap the
army practically eliminated flies
from hospital and training camps,
and saved thousands of lives.
Since the war these traps have
been used by health authorities in
Tulsa, Louisville, Paducah and other
southern cities and have resulted in

ARE YOU A MORON?

What is a moron? Recently sew
eral alleged moral degenerates, crimi-
nails, and certain persons of rather
high social standing who have used
the revolver effectively and sometimes
rather promiscuously, have been dub
bed morons. The term was common
among the psychiatrists and psyche
logists in the army, they applying
it to soldiers discharged because of
mental deficiency. At recent meet
ing of the local home service section
of the Red Cross, both Mrs. Coleman,
the secretary, who defined the word
as meaning "a person whose mental
development is arrested at about the
age of twelve" as well the Rev. L.
]. Bristow sought further light on
the derivation of moron. A third
person who was present at this meet
ing later wrote the photographer of
The Literary Digest for the deriva-
tion and the definition. The reply
received this week says: "a moron
is feeble-minded person, of higher
intelligence than an imbecile. The
word is derived from the Greek word,
moros, meaning stupid" Now we
have it. A moron is person, who is
possibly capable of making living
by manual labor, but one who will
not support a proposed extra levy
for better schools for Abbeville, or
who will not subscribe to our honor
able paper.
The word is not to be found in
either Webster's Unabridged Diction-
ary or any of the encyclopedias, but
The Literary Digest informs US may
be found in the latest edition of the
New Standard Dictionary.

towns

"flyless towns"
Flies can only travel with their line
of vision which must be toward the
light. They also find their food en-
tirely by sense of smell. They rarely
travel farther than three hundred
feet from where they were hatched
or above the third or fourth story OF
a building. The only successful meth
cd of exterminating flies is based on
these characteristics.
DR.. L. O. Howard, United States
department of entomology, says: "5-
599,72O, 100000 is the normal num-
Der of flies a single fly will produce
from April 18th to September 10th" !"
The St. Louis health department in
it's literature during the annual fly
campaign says. "Flies in the dining
room usually precede nurses IN tne
sick room." Also, 'Flies are the most
dangerous insects known to man. He
should be their most persistent ma
tural enemy. A fly in the milk may
mean a member of the family in the
grave" Further, eff flies were as
much feared as bad water, there
would be less typhoid fever"
The war on flies should begin early
in the spring. One fly killed in April
means
$50 less in two weeks.
5000 less in one month.
5,59S, 100000 less in one sum-
mer.
Flies have killed more people than

which is The 18th. The executive
committee decided that in view of the
fact that Greenville street leading to
the high school building was almost
impossible and that influenza was
still prevalent, no February meeting
should be held. An attractive pro-
gram is being arranged for the St.
Patrick meeting and a large attend
ance is anticipated.

our war with Spain in 1898, more
men were lost from the dangerous eff
fects of flies than Spanish bullets.
Flies should be .exterminated at
their breeding places. Clean up and
trap flies out doors They do not
breed in the house. They can and
should be controlled and killed out
side the House.
