SWAT THE FLY AND SWAT THE MAN WHO PERMITS IT TO BREED Her* arc thm mathematics of our greatest menace: The fly 4- the milk-f-the baby^=the grave. The man who willfully permite tho flies to breed on his property by not removing or screening all filth ehouM bo looked upon as a destroyer of human life and da* It with aocordmgly. THE TONGUE OF TREACHERY The fly iivcs and thrives or :h* bounty of mankind. He repays V * kindness by bringing death and disease into oar homes. Man should be the fly*i most dangerous and persistent natural enemy. - j Flies in the dining room precede the doctor in the sickroom. ? HOW TO KILL FLIES QUICKLY AND CHEAPLY Professor R. 1. Smith, entomologist, j North Carolina agricultural station, says. "Forma lis is a very successful poison for Hies in spite of many re ports to the contrary.- I have recently used It extensively with excellent re volts. The method that 1 have found most successful is the use oT formalin la milk with the following proportions: "One ounce (two tablespooufuls) of formalin; sixteen ounces (one pint) of equal parts mitk and water. "In this proportion the mixture seems to attract the flies much better than when used in sweetened water. The mixture should be exposed In shallow plates. A piece of bread in the middle of the plate furnishes more space for the flies to alight and feed and in this way serves to attract a greater num ber of them. "I first used this poison in a milk room where the tlies were very numer ous and poisoned over 5.000 flies In less than twenty-four hours on several ! occasions. Over a pint of flies were swept up in this room each time the j poison was used. "Another experiment was used in a j large calf l?arn where the flies were j numerous l exposed six ordinary sized plates of the formalin poison mixture and killed about 40,000 (four: quarts of fliesi between 12 o'clock. noon and 8 the next morning. This is only l an illustration of what can be done | with formalin around stables where flies are breeding. 1 could cite a num ber of cases where the formalin poison mixture has been used In unscreened kitchens and dining rooms and resulted In killing practically all the flies. "A good place to use this formalin is on the front and back porches, where flies are frequently numerous and wait ing to enter whenever the doors ^re opened." PLAN OF CAMPAIGN FOR FLY FIGHTERS. ; Keep the house free from flies. Every fly should be considered ? possible disease carrier and should be destroyed. Keep the. windows of the house, ?specially the krtVhen windows, oarefulty screened dbrfrig the spring, summer and autumn. Protect children from exposure to flies and do not allow nursing 1 bottles to be exposed. Protect milk and foodstuffs" from contact with fliss. Kssp -the garbage outside of ttis holies carefully covered. Abolish open drains near dwelling places. '} HOW TO FIGHT THE FLY IN THIS TOWN > First.- Ed ucational work should ba br^nn at once In schools, women's clubs and other civ If organizations, be cause if you wait until the flies appear In the spring tliey will be multiplying b.v the million while .you are doing organization work that ought to have been done during the cold weal her This coinnifttee. as in former years, will co-operate with local committees, furuishlug literature and answering questions as to methods of individual ? ampaigns. etc Second.? In your movements for pass ing of general cleanup and anti-fly or dinances first secure the interest of \t'he state health department. If yoc. find difficulty in doing this by mere force of suggestion^ employ other legit l mute means of stirring It to action ?petitions from local or state organize tions. boards of trade, women's clubs, town Improvement societies, etc. If j the bead of thesstqte health service is not cordially co-o|H?rntiug with you hn can !?e shamed Into h.. \ Third.? Employ similar tactics, if necessary, with the healU? authorities aldermen and other olficUH^ of your city or town. Fourth.? <?et ordinances passe&fstate It possible. local at any rate) for\the screening of foodstuffs, the chetnle#! ?treatment and removal of manure, etc.ii hut do not think that because you have 1 an ordinance it will enforce itself Eternal vigilance Is the price of free dom from tilth and flies Probably even the most energetic and sympa thetic health officer will be uuable with the force of fnspectors at his command to discover all the violations of the or dinance. You must help him by vol unteer Inspection and reports. If then he is lukewarm in the prosecution of offenders make bis position uncom fortable. If the magistrates refuse to Impose fines for proved violations make It uncomfortable for them too. It's all very simple if yon are in ear nest. Fifth.*-Colorado and Texas have In stituted the * custom of state wide "cleanup days.*" Induce the governor of your state by proclamation to set aside a day for snch a purpose, and If he cannot 1m? Induced to do so? but be probably can if proper representations are made to blm? at least get your mayor to proclaim a local "cleanup day." Sixth. ? If you must have "fly swat ting" contests to stimulate interest in your local campaign let them be held as early in the spring as possible, while there are comparatively few flies. If you could find and kill all the spring files, as of course you cannot there would be none to trouble yon In the summer. Seventh.- lie careful to brnsh up any flies that may be lying around with their feet up In the air looking as If they were dead: they may be '.'playing: possum ** The only safe way Is to burn them I?o not throw tbem out or Into the gnrlwge can. as they will be come active lis soon as the temperature rises. A fly in the <nilk may mean a baby in the grave. JEKYLL AND HYDE The fly enters your horn? as a harm less insect. But once inside he be comes transformed into a monster of horrible proportions, carrying disease to the members of your family. One fly carries over 6,000,000 germs about with it. A screen in time saves many lives. O BE as good an our fathers we must be better.
