FURTHER PERIL FROM
FLIES

There are several reasons for a
high fly standard. A fiy-infested
town is one with low sanitary
standards. They do not properly
dispose of stable manure. They can
brag all they please about, their
parks, monuments, and paved
streets, but they are dirty lot just
the same.
If any one will escape the clutches
of the entertainment committee and
snoop around the stables and alleys
they will find that the boastful In
habitants are mired down in stable
manure and garbage.
A fy-infested residence means a
dirty garbage can. unwrapped gar
bage can, unwrapped garbage. or
some very definite department from
proper standards of cleanliness.
Never mind about the fine parlor.
What do the flies say?
A fly-infested store means a dirty
store. Flies breed in manure. They
congregate where there IS food.
So much for the esthetic reasons
for a high fly standard. Now for
health reasons.
A certain proportion of the ty
phoid fever plague is due to water.
other parts to milk, other parts to
vacations, and other parts to car
riers. Flies must bear their part
of the blame. Were there no flies,
neither milk, carriers, nor vacations
would bring about so much typhoid.
A certain part Of the summer
diarrhoeas Of babies can be charged
up to flies. Children's institutions,
which screen out flies and put all
soiled diapers into covered, fiyproof
cans, have less than their share of
summer diarrhoea.
DR.. +. M. Root has shown that
flies are capable of causing amoebic
dysentery, a form of diarrhoea which
affects grown people. The return
Of our soldiers and the increased
commerce of the last 20 years has
caused amoebic coli to be widely
scattered over the country.
1t may be that 1t has always been
so. but whether that be true or not,
we know that protozoa from human
intestines are being reported from
all parts Of the United States. Many
of those so infected never have been
in any region where protozoa are
supposed to abound.
Root had flies feed on human
stools infested with protozoa and
then examined the fly specks from
them to discover how much time
was required for protoZoa to pass
through fly's alimentary canal
and how long they persisted in the
specks discharged after a fly had
eaten them, and whether they were
alive or not.
Most people know that a fly eats
an enormous volume OF food COM
pared with it's weight and size, and
this is because within a few minutes
after it begins eating it begins pass
ing fly specks composed in part of
what has just been eaten. Roots

Extension Of Sentence.

Beatrice, Neb., Aug. 20.-To the
Editor of The Bee: 1 see in the ac-
count of the capture Of Horton and
Slack the prediction of an extension
of prison time to 10 years for at
tempted escape. If this is done isn't
it a strange quality of justice that a
non-essential for leaving should, for
the simple cause that he attempts to
get free without violence, be COM
PEELED to stay two or three times
his sentence, while man who helps
wreck a bank for 100000 or SO can
he pardoned after a months loss of
liberty? Crime ought to be severely
punished, but equalize it.

tozoa. They began passing live ones
In about an hour. They continued
to pass cyst forms for 16 to so hours.
In the case of amoeba, which
cause amoebic dysentery, the flies
continued to pass them for 90 hours
after eating. At the end of Is hours
one half those eaten still were alive.
A fly that has feasted On amoebic
coli, IL it fall into the water, soup.
or milk within one week after Its
feast, is capable Of injecting 1t with
the diarrhoea organisms. This es-
tablishes the fly as real menace in
spreading amoebic colitis and other
diseases due to protoZOa-
