State Board OF Health Begins
Annual Campaign.
Most Dangerous Animal on
Earth, Says DIR. CrumbiRe.

II you would rather live than die
Roll up your sleeves and swat the
fly.
The foregoing Is the 1921 version Of
Dr. S. J. Crumbine-s annual admo1I-
ton to exterminate the house fly Il
appears in the current issue OF the
Bulletin. the official organ Of the
Kansas State Board Of Health
Doctor Crumbine, who Is secretary
Of the board, is nationally known as
the original swat the fly crusader.
He has been On the war path against
the little winged pests for score Of
years This year he reminds the pub
lie OF the constant menace TO health
which the fly family constitutes. Altho
he mOdestly Will admit that the anti
fly campaign has accomplished much
towards protection of public health
he by no 1Leaus comedies that It Is
time to call for an armistice. Keep
swatting, Is his battle cry.
The most dangerous animal On
earth IS the fly" says the Bulletin
That is the conclusion, not of sen
satiou mougers. but Of eoolheaded
and cautious scientists That little,
insignificant, pesky house fly Is
thousand times more dangerous to
you and your babies than all the man
eating animals Of the world could be

ting the men women and children Of
America. The blood thirsty deuizeus
OF the darkest continent do not harm
the human family in 4 century as
does the fly IN one single summer
The poisonous reptiles Of India are
harmless plaEthings in comparison
Railroad accidents kill and MAIN
many, but the fly is ten times more
destructive.
The number Of bacteria On one
fly have been proven to range al the
way from $50 to 5000. 600 The av-
erage is about 1.250-000 per fly. This
represents the number OF bacteria
