COMMON HOUSE FLY
MENACE TO HEALTH
Spread Diseases m Summer Time and Cause Thousands
. . of Deaths Big Cities Studying Methods of '.
' Eliminating Insects. -V
BY FREDERIC 3. HASKIX.
(Copyright 1908 by Frederic- J. Haakln.) ' ' ' ' ' -Washington,
June H; -With the growing heat of summer cornea
the Increased danger of typhoid and Intestinal diseases, the majority of
which are spread by that ever active peBt. the common house fly.- With
the fear of epidemics has-come a concerted effort on the1 part of pro
gressive cities to exterminate the fly. There are 850,000 caseB of
typhoid fever in the United States every year, and X0 per cent of the
cases are fatal. The fever la spread through three routes water, milk
and flies. Water Is responsible for" the greater number of cases, but
Infected milk has its hundreds to account for, and Dies many hundred
more. Last year's investigations In New .York city showed that there
were 650 deaths from typhoid and 7,000 deaths from other intestinal
diseases that were traceable directly to diseases spread through the
agency of flies.
'. Diseases of a distinctly unpleasant
toatura are those which the fly spreads
teat Asiastla choleras typhoid (ever,
dysentery and tuberculosis; Bred la the
JUth of barnyards and city dumps, the
house fly lives up to Its greatest pos
sibilities as a disseminator of filth and
disease.; On- its- fussy, -hairy little leg's
can carry iu.uuv oacierm urn i
It can earrv 10.-000 bacteria that
drops in ait Indifferent and rarelesa way
into the nearest milk pitcher,' on the
Inost convenient market table or the
tnnut attractive Min f t ionTT stand. It
is. never W direct and Intentional male-,
factor. ffcr it does not oite ana .in
fect In . that way: it merely trails
through the fllth that it loves and lets
the gathered bacilli fall off on any sur
face that it passes over. These bacteria
may live for two weeks ana can oe
carried long distances on the fly's legs,
nr. an thftv are indigestible, thev can be
arrled in the alimentary canal of the
fly and spread the contagion many miles
from the original source, a fact that a
Chicago woman 'has established, after
careful work in -her laboratory. x
wa oa'CTy. f ; . .;,
It was only n 184, scarcely four
years ago, that the -charge of criminal
carelessness was first preferred against
.. i i . . 41.. TTm that .lm m nA
ven now in many rural districts, it
was believed to be a useful scavenger,
a worthy and harmless member of the
Insert world. Then the medicine men
. pot busy in their private and munici
pal laboratories and among other val-
uanle things that they aemonstratea to
the world was that the house, fly was
directly responsible for" some twenty
r thirty thousand deaths in this coun
try each vear. So war was declared,
. li ! in in i hard and bitter war.
for-- the hosse fly can reproduce- its
ppedes with a -Vapidity and In num
bers that paralyse the modern statis
tician. Dr. Packard a short while ago
"put one fly -in a 'bottle and kept it
there for fourteen hours. In that time
it laid 128 eggs, almost ten for every
hour. -As it takes only' from eight to
' -twenty-four hours to hatch the eggs,
nd a fly Is mature , and ready to. re
produce Us kind ' in' ten or fourteen
lavs from the time the egg Is laid, it
'may be seen , that even one fly in a
gives summer can do much toward In
" n:reaslng the death roll of a community,
and incidentally pePl Its world with
' uncountable millions of pests within a
.year.. .-. '.-,--:--... ' 4 ,, ....

I The crusade against flies has been
,o far confined to the titles, and to a
very few of these. In the country and
rural districts where there is most
typhoid and where the facilities for fly
breeding are unlimited, the death rate
rrorn typhoid is nigner. 'mere are nwir
.three times as many cases of typhoid
- iin the country as tnere are in me cur,
,and It is noticeable that the city rate
always goes up highest in September
1 when the- people who bad spent tna
.summers in the country turn, cityward
again, bringing the germs or typnoia
readv for the "fly t distribute when
, the disease has developed. Th death
rate is lower in the city where more

i The Indiana State Board of Health
."recently began a .vigorous . campaign
. aaainst the fly. ; distributing eauca
tlonal literature and encouraging a
wider knowledge of the danger lyinar in
the tolerance of these pests. . Detroit
,over a year ago recognised the danger
or contamination xrom nies in ijpnura
cases and Issued instructive circulars
.making especial point of the fact that
.food must be kept isolated from files.
The national government has evl-
Anu-rA a arrester Interest in the control
of preventable diseases by considering
, a bill that will allow the united states
-hospital and marine ' service greater
, 'latitude In handling contagious dis-
eases, and " providing or cooperation

it Is known that insects of various
kinds disseminate' the germs of leprosy,
toholera, dysentery, elephantiasis, filarl
.asis, anthrax, trachoma, typhus, cancer.
tuberculosis and typhoid. th need of
national end - interstate -cooperation is
j keenly evident.
' Chicago Qte Susy.
I Chicago has begun an educational
.campaign on a large scale. New York
,haa been working with- a. will and in
'domitable courage ever since one of the
i city bacteriologists Intercepted a fly
1 on Its way from a stable to a milk de
;pot and discovered that 10Q.OOO bacilli
.were on its legs, and that when these
were left on a glass plate In the la bora
; torv by the Imprisoned fly a mass of
; swarming death-dealing bacilli sprang
"Into being, each capable of endangering
. a. human life. New York has found
that infant mortality is greatest in that
city In fly time, and health authorities
are beginning; a crusade that will make
. fly screens an imperative ' necessity on
. all houses, and that, .will abolish rank
: garnets and stable refuse from 111
; tended alleys. --.
Evidence against the fly Is plentiful.
, During the Spanish-American war a
committee , appointed, by the surgeon
general of the armv found that typhoid
, was not so prevalent among men who
' ate In screened -tents;' and that as the
. fly disappeared In camps at Knoxvllle
i'. and Meade typhoid generally decreased.
- Dr. H.'A. Veeder claims that the fly Is
a more dangerous agent in spreading
" typhoid thaa-etther water or milk. J.

i Th- war on the fly Is being conducted
alone both educational - and practical
lines.. Through circulars, through the
press, through lectures, through house
to nouse canvasses in sium districts
and contry sides, people are to be told
the very sctentiflo but very revolting
truth about the flies that daily swarm
through - unscreened homes, trailing
their war across tns rood on tne ta
blea, across the faces of the children
and on everything that Is to be touched,
eaten or handled. They will be told
that these files breed in f the filth of
the stables.- and. that it is from thl
pest heap, from impure drains, 'front
open sewers and disease laden ground
that they come into the house to spread
hundreds of millions of bacteria every
hour. Thev are thus 'menacing' the
health of the family and that- of the
nation, and Indirectly piling uo a long
expense account by encouraging illness,
and consequent idleness,- and materially
lowering the standard or national effi
ciency. Where stable sweepings are not
available for breeding places, garbage,
trash piles snd dust bins have been
known to produce a goodly quota of
flies, and on these leading municipali
ties mean to keep a closer eye in the
future.
The educational campaign wljl offer
such suggestions as these: Do not allow-trash,
garbage and organic matter
.to accumulate. Keep damp, dark cel
lars clean, and sprinkled liberally with
lime. , Pour liberal doses of kerosene
down ll drains and .over all refuse.
Have all kitchen waste moved dally.
Have ajll manure cleaned dally from the
stables Snd carried away to spread aSd
dry on the fields or kept In a screened
receptacle until a convenient time for
removal can be found.
Keep roods Screened.
Keep all food stuffs, whether in the
msrkett or at the home, carefully
screened. The killing. of flies Is no
easy task. Flv paper and poison should
be liberally used, and while the process
seems sometimes slow,- ths comforting
thought comes that In the slaying of
one the propagation of millions of oth
ers Is prevented. The crusade is one

When the stomach is feeble ths food
lies In It undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous, gases that distend the
walls of the stomach, and cause inter
ference wlth other organs, especially
with the action f the heart and lungs.
These gases have other ill effects. They
are absorbed by the blood and corrupt it
and so cause aches in remots parts of
the body and the rormation oi unuoaiu y
tissue everywhere. General - bodily
weakness and loss of weight result, inj
nerves and the brain are dlsturbod and
discomforts such ss dlzslness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, lrrttableness ana
despondency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish Just ss soon as ths stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words. It needs a tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food Into nourishment. The tonic used
ought to be one that will agree with the
most delicate stomach.
