PAGE TB2X3 HEALTH AND HYGIENE (Conducted by Dr. W. A. McPhaul, County Health Officer.) WOULD TOU SHARE YOUR CHILD'S FOOD WITH THE FLY Flies are the natural enemy of children usually very successful ene mies, because the younger the child the more helpless the victim. Fnes breed in filth manure piles too near the house, open previes, dead car casses. Flies cause diarrheol diseases and typhoid fever. The house fly will breed in almost any fermenting organic matter, but prefers horse manure and takes as second , choice human excreta. The female fly lays on an avrage 120 eggs at a time and may do this sev. eral times during her life time. Dur ing midsummer, eggs of the fly hatch in eight hours, and in five days the eggs has envolved to an adult fly capable of infecting the food for the entire family. The life of an adult fly may deal death to as many peo ple, if they are available and oppor tunity presents. Flies do not live on clean premises. In some places the fly is called typhoid fly, and in others, the diar rheal fly, and this should be taught to school children to remind them of the business of flies, that of causing typhoid fever and diarrhea. Hot weather, filth, flies and diar rhea all go together Why? Flies bred more rapidly in hot weather; they, are dependent upon filth for a breeding place, and whenever there are flies and a baby in close proximi ty, there will also be found diarrhea. The fly is bred in filth, hatched in filth ,lives in filth, and is the filthiest creature on earth. The fly has thej filthiest habits one moment crawl ing over excrement and filth, (the next flying in te window and alight ing on pies, or on fruit one is pre paring to lift .to the mouth. Flies are not necessary and their presence in your hon.e show an in difference on your part to the health of your family ,and your baby par ticularly. If you desire to rid yourself ofj flies ,it will be necessary first to pro tect all food from their contamina tion. To do so, screen the windows, and doors, cover the garbage pail, clean the stables, build sanitary pri vies, construci fly trap and use a swatter. Second get your neighbors to do likewise. Get your community interested in exterminating flies, get the boys and girls interested in fight ing tliem, get the boys' to making fly traps, and teach the children to hate flies and to be ashamed to have them about, swatting them wherever they make their appearance in the house. Start the! campaign before the flies get a start-r-beein with the fizht be. fore the eggs are laid or hatched and keep it up without ceasing. Babies are the prey to flies; if their bed is exposed to flies they crawl all over them during their day time sleep, speck their faces and lips. The food and its containers are not forgotten by the fly, as particularly like the articles of food usually give to the child. All babies have not the robust constitution to throw off te germ deposited by wlies, which get in to their stomachs and intestines. As an act of humanity every one snould protect the child from the fly, but a parent should be ashamed to allow his child to be exposed to the danger of the filthiest of all creatures the fly.
