BEWARE OF THE DEADLY HOUSE FLY ANDSWAT HIM EARLY! Catechism, Prepared by the Ladies of he Civic Im provement Club for the Use of the People of Vale During Coming Campaign Against the Pest. Is the house fly known bv anv Mh. , Yes, it is now called the typhoid ! , .uoc im3 Deen proved t() I spreua much of our typhoid fever. 1 2. Is the fly the only means of car rying typhoid fever? No, this disease is al o contributed by water, milk, and other foods, if the perms get into them. 3. Does the typhoid fly spread other .diseases? J Yes. It brings cholera infantum j dysentery, tuberculosis, spinal menin gitis, and many other filth diseases. 4. Are there flies in Vale all the year around? Yes. In winter they may be seen active in places kept warm enough restaurants, bakeries, cellars, stores and office buildings. Where it is cold.

What do flies do in the spring? They begin feeding actively and soon commence laying eggs. For this pur- The Rex Theatre Peoples Forum TELLING US HOW Editor Enterprise, Vale, Oregon, There is nothing more irritating to the people of small towns than the air of superiority that people from larger towns have towards them and their village. It is hard to say just what prompts the city man to feel greater than the villager, but he al most invariably does, and what makes it worse, shows it in his actions. It is the weakness of city people, this belief of theirs that country peo ple are back numbers. The man from a city concern pays the country busi ness man a visit and shows plainly that he considers the little merchant a very small potato; but if he were I wise enough to resiizs w.c tru.. c their said respective businesses, he would know that the back-number merchant, as he looks upon him, is laying by each year more than the city chap is drawing as a hired man from a company that could find a thousand like him in a day's time. The narrow-brained lecturer will drop into the small town, and at the beginning of his talk, mentions that he has changed his subject, "for fear the one announced would be over the heads of his audience," then pro ceeds to ramble along for a couple of hours with stale stories and disconnec ted ideas, boring his auditors half to death. The Chautaqua entertainer, until he has a good deal of experience; the traveling salesman, up to the time he becomes of some value to his house; the transient visitor, on a chance busi ness or pleasure trip; the young city employee.bcfore he learns the lesson of the relation of capital to business, wherever it is employed all of them make the same mistake of misjudging the capacity, the intelligence and the character of country people. If there is such a thing between the city and country folks as superiority, the latter have the best opportunity of securing it. But as people, there is no difference between those who live in cities and those who live in the country. They all read the same newspapers, the same magazines and the same books; they hear the same lecturers, and see the same theatrical performances; they attend the same high school and graduate from the i . ... same colleges anU universities; tney take the same trips, visit the same va cation resorts, and make as many ex cursions abroad; they ride in Pull mans as often, and pay their bills as regularly; and when everything is counted, it is hard to point out any difference between them, except that the country people have the advantage of freedom from the life in throngs, and from the scramble for a r'.velihood in the country or in small towns, with great numbers contesting for a share. We have no contempt or criticism for those who prefer to live in a city, but we do object to their attitude of Fcorn for the doings of those who live in the country or small towns. There is no basis for their feeling of superiority and, to a person with a proper understanding of the relations of things, it is nonsensical and uncall ed for. ly feeding, if food is abundant. 14. How docs a fly eat solid food? The house fly has no teeth, but ii provided with a sucking tube or pro boscis with which it laps up liquids. The flies which "bite" are stable flie, and these have a sharp piercing pro boscis, with which they suck the blood of animal-;. In eating solid food, like cake or candy, the house-fly first puts out a big drop of saliva, and sucks it back and forth with its proboscis until the dry substance is dissolved. 15. How do flies carry diseases? They feed upon filth, containing dis ease germs and carry them on their feet and proboscis to our food. The germs may pass through the body of a fly unharmed and may be distribu ted in the fly specks. 16. Where do disease germs come from? From the bodies of the sick people. 17. Then flies should not be allowed in the sick room? No. and the discharges from the bo dy of the sick should not be placed where flies can get at them. 18. Can a flv carrv mnnv disease pose they go out of the buildings and germs? seen preterably to lay their eggs in Yes, over 6,600,000 germs have been any wet rotting, animal or vegetable found on the body of one fly.

How many eggs does a fly lay? About 120 to 150 at a laying and a fly may live to lay six times. 8. How long docs a fly live? About three months in the summer. They may live much longer in the win ter. The stages in the life of a fly are: (a) Egg, eight hours in hot wea ther to six weeks in cold. (b) Maggot, six to eight days of active feeding upon filth and rapid growth. (c) Pupa, a resting stage of two or three days in which the maggot becomes covered with a hard case and completes the great change from a worm-like maggot to a winged insect. It then comes out to full size. "Lit tle flies" do not grow into bigger flies. There are many different kinds of flies, big and little. 9. How old is a fly before it begins to lay eggs? After coming out as a fly, it feeds and flies about for fourteen days, be fore it matures its first batch of eggs. This is very important because if ev ery fly gets caught during this two weeks, no eggs will be laid, and the pest will disappear. 10. How many flies may breed from a pair in the spring? Allowing six batches of eggs, of 150 each, supposing all to live and find filth to breed in, the number would be 191,010,000,000,000,000,000, enough to burv the entire earth 47 feet deep. So why not kill the fly in the winter or early spring? 11. Docs Vrale raise her own flies, and are there ns many as there used to be? Practically all the flies of Vale breed in the city. There are fewer flies in some sections now than formerly, be cause there are fewer horse stables and less filth in which flies may breed. 12. What kinds of food are most at tractive to flies? They swarm to any fermenting or rotting matter, garbage, and all sorts of unnamable filth, except at meal times, when they swarm over our tables. They are especially attracted to milk, fish and sweets. 13. How much and how often do flies eat? It is not unusual for a fly to swal low half of its own weight of food at one meal, and it is almost continuous- 19. Do flies always carry disease when they alight on our food? No, they are'always disgusting be- ;cause they carry filth to our food, but they are dangerous to health, only when they have access to disease germs. 20. Can a family escape the dangers from flies by screening them out of 'he house? No, not if they use food over which flies have swarmed or fallen into. 21. Do flics carry sickness and death to many people in the United States? There are nearly live hundred thous and cases of typhoid fever yearly in the United States, and nearly 50,000 deaths. Much of this is distributed by fiies. Forty-nine thousand infants die annually of entiritis or summer complaint, the germs of which are probably all carried to the milk by flies. Flies are now known to be the most deadly enemy of man. They kill more people than all the lions, tigers, and snakes, and even wars. 22. Have flies always been such an enemy to mankind? They have always carried disease, even in the Bible times. Their power to do harm has increased with the number of people. 23. But people have lived in spite of flies? Yes, but a great many have died. About four out of every five children in Vale live to be five years old. Many of these deaths are due to flies carry ing disease gernn to their food. 24. How is it possible to protect our selves against flies, more than we have already done? When we thought flies merely an noying we could afford to hide our selves behind screens; now that they have proved to be our deadly enemy we must come out and fight them in the open. In three ways: (a) By killing all the winter flies that have been hiding in buildings as fast as they come out. (b) By cleaning up all manure and filth in which flies may breed. (c) By keeping traps set in covers of garbage cans and on porches where the flies are thickest to catche them before they can enter our homes. 25. How can this be done? Killing the flies that live over win ter means killing the mother flies be fore they can lay eggs in the spring. German Cruiser Reaches U. S. Newport News, Va. The German converted cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, the elusive raider of commerce In the South Atlantic, slipped into the port here and asked for fuel and provisions. Many times reported destroyed, the former North-German Lloyd liner had evaded hostile warships for eight months while she sent 14 merchant men to the bottom. Her officers said she was forced to steal her way past four allied cruisers off the Virginia Capes to reach this refuge.

To prevent the spreading of rabies, the state livestock sanitary board has issued an order placing 11 counties under quarantine. It was an nounced that the disease had been communicated by coyotes to horses, dogs, cats and other animals In eight counties in the eastern part of the state. The counties included in the quarantine are Lake, Harney, Crook, Baker, Umatilla, Malheur, Wheeler and Union, where rabies prevails, and Multnomah, Clackamas and Jackson, to which It Is feared the disease may spread. The order requires that all dogs, un less UBed In herding livestock, be muz zled.
