Kill the Flies or the Flies
May Kill the Babies
Flies are a menace to health, because, after walking and feed
ing upon filth, they often carry upon their feet and tongues the
germs or seeds of diseases like dysentery and typhoid fever.

W.VT tlie fly" Is n good wnrory,
Imt It Is like loefcltig Ilia stahle
aftor tli uorse Is sinien. There'
:s a bt'tter one, "Swat the eggs." I'rou
nbly every uinguxine anil newspaier
lu the rutted State primed hint men-
Hn from one tou avxtre of arraignments
if the common housefly the disease
breeder, the typhoid fly. the Infantile
imralyals fly; In a word, the twentieth
century est. au enemy of tnmikUid.
"Swat the Hy" has become the slogan
of the day.
Kor every fly killed tn June there will
be 10.000 less In July, t. 000.000 lew
In August and by September the
nioat ambitious boy, eager lu earn the
prize for the greatest number of (Ilea
killed, couldn't poealbly lift the progeny
of tula aliiKle fly which eseaied hliu la
the springtime. AH very true, but
where will all those flies lay their eggs
and rear their precious babies? I'aa
we flud the nests, can we destroy them
by wholesale, the larvae or Hie eggs?
We cun. easily and cheaply, aud every
city with ordinary regulations may bo
come fly less town. Flies breed lu
tilth, aud If you get after those placva
It will save a lot of swatting later on.
Our government has parried t-n an
extensive exierluieut with manure
plies 1 the eggs which each female
fly ('. .is tlicrcln by the thousand
and bus found the remedy. It Is ordi
nary borax, one of the commonest aud
cheapest of minerals, produced lu
abundance in the lulled States, and It
takes very little to make the fly egg
unite worthless as a future fly. Horax
cotitS' about 5 cents a (sumd. and the
crude borax mineral, colenmulte. cuu
sidembly less, while three fl ft lis of a
iouud sprinkled through teu cubic feet
about eight bushels if manure will
kill fit per cent of the eggs aud mag
gots of the fly.
Laws Would Do Away
With the Pestiferous Fly
IT would appear, from what we
know of the life history of the
common housefly and from what
remedial exi"rimentatlou baa already
been curried on. that It la perfectly
feasible for cities and tovns to so
zrMtly reduce the iniiiiti.-Ts of these
annoying and dangerous Inserts as to
render them of comparatively slight ac
count. The hcnltb departments of
most of our cities have "thu authority
to abate uiilsauces dangerous to health,
anil It Is easy for the health authori
ties of any city to forniulato rules con
cerning the const ruction ami care of
attihles mid the keeping and disposal
of manure which. If enforced, will do
away with the housefly nuisance.
Should Start a
Cooperative Cleanup
A COMMUNITY pninpnlgn against
tiles should lie started early, lu
the winter If possible. IMans
should be made for towu Improvement
along this Hue. An association could
tie formed for this purpose. t'ie village
divided Into districts and one or more
memliers made Inspector In each dis
trict Kvery town and city should
have a food screening ordinance ap
plicable to food kept for ante.
From April 15 to June 30 offer gener
