WONDROUS WISE MAN is
ONE WHO SWATS THE FLY
State Health Director Advocates
War to the Finish With Them

A seasonable version of the old
rhyme, used by the State Department
of Health in leaflet listing flies as
carriers of disease, pictures the man
who was so wondrous wise as cover
ing up his garbage pail to keep away
the flies. Incidentally he is cutting
off one of their main sources of food.
giles have no claim on our mer-
cy," DR.. R. H. Riley, Director Of the
State Department of Health, said in
advocating war to the finish against
them. "They are more than mere
pests. They are carriers of disease
and messengers of death. The fly is
no respecter of persons. 1t carries in
lection to old and young. 1t spreads
typhoid fever, dysentery and other
diarrheal diseases. In spreading sum-
mer complaint among babies, as it
does, it is particularly dangerous en-
envy of young children.
Files breed in filth and feed on
filth, decaying vegetable matter, hu-
man excreta and putrefying animal
matter. They carry disease germs
from infected filth to food and to hu-
man beings. Garbage dumps, untreat-
ed manure piles, open cess pools, are
breeding places of these winged car
riers of disease. And the householder
who uses covered garbage pail, who
carefully disposes of all garbage and
human waste, who protects his food
supply from pollution, who screens
his living quarters and his sleeping
quarters, is in a very real sense won
drous wise
Files breed so rapidly that sim
gle pair may have several million de-
scendants. To keep down the fly dam
ger
"Be sure the fly has no place in
which to breed. Don't allow manure
to accumulate. Flies breed in ma
nure. Manure should be spread thin,
or treated at least once a week. Write
to the College of Agriculture at Col
lege Park for advice in regard to
methods of treatment.
"Have sanitary outhouses. The
State Department of Health, PAIL n
Charles street, Baltimore City, will
send you a plan of one, if you write
for it. Flies carry filth from out
houses to food within doors.
"Use a covered garbage pail and
either burn or bury the garbage. Flies
feed an garbage and filth.
Don't let flies crawl over your
baby's face or hands or nursing bottle
Be very careful to see that your
baby's milk and other food are kept in
cool place free from contamination
Flies carry summer complaint to the
babies.
"Screen your kitchens, your dining
rooms, your sleeping rooms against
flies.
Don't wait until the fly season is
here in full force. Swat each fly that
comes within your reach"
