PUBLIC IS URGED
TO Swat THE FLY
Campaign Against Disease Car
,riers Started by City

The health department proposes
to start early in its war against flies,
and in a message published today by
DR., Louis J. Dumont, superintendent,
the cooperation of householders and
dispensers of food is requested.
DR.. Dumont's article on the house
fly follows:
The evidence against the house
fly as carrier of diseases, is con-
elusive.
The house fly gets in his most
deadly work by Communicating hu-
man food and drink with all sorts of
infective material. Consequently, the
fly is likely to bring into the family
kitchen and dining room either on
his feet, or in the material which he
regurgtates. from his stomach, any
living organisms capable of repro
ducing human disease. The house fly
is a carrier OF typhoid fever; he is
also the cause of infant deaths,
through food which he has contain
mated.
Carries Typhoid
Besides being an indirect cause
of typhoid fever an infant mortal
ity, the h6use fly is a distributor Of
bacteria, which bring about the
putrefacton of food and which in
directly give rise to the less serious
infections of the digestive tract,
commonly referred to as ndiges-
ton or of 'ptomaine poisoning
knowing as We do that the house
fly is a menace to health, I strongly
urge our citizens to start carly on
an anti-fy campaign. I advise first,
elimination of fly breeding places by
removing exposed manure piles. and
henCeforth disposing of the same IN
according with city ordinance Sec
ond. having sufficient number of
screens to prevent entrance of flies in
homes. Third, keeping garbage re-

times, and washing them out fire.
quently with boiling water. Fourth,
screen all food. especially milk. Do
not eat food that has been on con-
tact with flies. Fifth, screen the
baby's bed, and keep flies away
from bays bottle. the babys food
and the babys lips. Sixth, catch the
flies as fast~as they appear. Use
liquid poison, sticky fly paper and
traps.
You can kill the flies fast by
keeping mixture in shallow dishes
in the house, of one tablespoon of
formaldehyde solution in a pint of
