WOULD KEEP FLIES
FROM DISTRICT JAIL
Correspondent Says DR.. Fow-
Ter Should Inspect 1t in
Aid of Imprisoned.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1 have been much interested in the
Fowler on The Danger of Disease in
Allowing the Fly to Become Men,
Der of Your Household" l agree with
DIR. Fowler that the fly is a deadly
germ carrier" and every precaution
should be taken to prevent it from be-
coming a nuisance. :
Among the diseases which may be
impaired by the house fly are typhoid
fever. diarrhoea. dysentery, tubercu-
losis. diphtheria, infantile paralysis.
smallpox and anthrax.
The health department is expected
to inspect all public institutions,
apartments. streets, alleys. stores. etc.
and if there is any cause for disease
the department should see that the
cause is removed or corrected as soon
as possible. l wonder how recently
the District Jail has been visited or
inspected by DIR. Fowler or any of his
staff, and what their report showed
after the investigation. Surely their
eyes were not closed to the number
of flies they saw.
The Jail belongs to the government,
and the government is responsible for
the care of the inmates and should
not allow them to be exposed to dis
ease any more than the inmate of the
public hyspitals. asylums and other
institutions. The lives of those in the
Jail should be protected. even though
they are there for punishment.
have learned through good authority
that request for screens has been
made several times. but it would cost
Ia great deal and the District cannot
| afford it.
The kitchen where the food is pre-
pared is screened, but the dining
rooms. where the food is served are
not screened, nor is any other part of
| the Jail. l understand the dining
rooms swarm with flies. How could
they be otherwise? Other public in
stitutions are screened. Why not the
Jail?
What right have we as citizens to
people to disease? What would it
cost the government if an epidemic
! OF typhoid fever or any other disease
should break out in our Jail? Just
because a man has committed crime
and is paying the penalty for it, must
his health be impaired by neglect? I
hope DIR. Fowler will inspect the Jail
and take the matter of screens up
with the proper department. and in
sist upon an appropriation being made
for this purpose before all of the Dis
itrlct budget is placed in other direc-
tionS.
! The Jail should be kept clean from
all kinds of vermin: exterminators
should be sent there regularly and the
cells kept free from insects of any
kind.
| We know the Jail is old. but the
| District cannot afford to build a new
one this year or next. so let US do the
best we can to keep this one clean
and free from disease.
| MRS. S. X. RAYMOND.
