Wants Householder to Do
His Share.

The food inspection force of the
health department will take an ac-
tive part this summer in the cam
paign launched by Health Officer
Fowler to exterminate the fly.
The food inspectors will make war
on the flies that inhabit the city mar
kets. They have been instructed to
see that all market dealers provide
some means Of keeping the pests
from lighting on meats, vegetables or
other foods exposed on counters.
These safeguards, DR.. Fowler said,
must be taken in grocery stores as
we'll as in the markets. DR.. Fowler
said he does not believe there are
many public breeding places for flies
in the District and that the bulk of
the fight rests on each householder to
make war on these rm-carriers in
and around the house.
An uncovered garbage pail or
greasy wrapping paper left uncovered
in the trash basket make fertile
breeding spots for the house ny. he
said.
Another effective measure. he con-
tinued, is to keep the kitchen free
from exposed scraps of food.
And last, but not least, keep the
