FLIES-DANGEROUS TO HAVE IN THE HOUSE

Dangerous to Mankind—Such Diseases as Typhoid, Tuberculosis, Cholera Infantum,
and Many Others Are Sprgad By Hies.

This insect, which has been
given but little consideration
until recently now attracts wide at
tention on account of the fact that it
is a conveyor of all sorts of diseases.
Besides carrying germs of typhoid
fever, dysentery, cholera, and numer- ;
ous other dreaded diseases, it is pos

fly breeding. The second best is to j
keep things so clean as to prevent fly !
feeding. The third best thing is to j
defend oneself against the flies that !
have come Sometimes it will be pos
sible to screen them away. This works
well enough with dwellings The few
flies that get into a well screened
bouse can be swatted, or caught with
paper, or killed with poison.
Where the doors are opening con
stantly. screens are sometimes of lit
tle service and sometimes none at
all. Under these circumstances, what
is to be done?
Usually it will be possible to protect
the food supply with cases, screens, or
mosquito bar. Anything kept in the j
icebox will be protected. Flies sud- I
denly entering an atmosphere of 60 1
will escape if they can. If not. they j
slow up. At about 48 they lose their
ability to fly. At 27. five degrees be- .
low freezing, most of them die.
The best method of ridding a dairy
barn, milk house, or store of flies will '
depend on the number present and on j
other considerations When flies are
abundant the use of fly traps is the ;
most effective method
Sticky fly paper has some advan- ]
tages and some disadvantages. A few i
saucers containing a mixture of one
pint of water, one tablespoonful of
formaldehyde (commonly known as I
formalin), and one tablespoonful of
sugar will be efficacious, if not mnch
water is exposed in the room.
The proposers recommend that ;
pieces of bread saturated with this so
lution be placed in plates and these .
exposed in places Inaccessible to chil
dren and domestic animals.
When the place is not being used it
| should be darkened, whereupon fly pa
i per. fly traps, or fly poison, placed
near an undarkened window, will be
doubly effective.
The Connecticut experiment station
: has made some tests to determine how
; thickly populated with germs are flies
from different places. To begin with.
! our old enemy, the blue bottle fly, is
not much of an enemy after all. In
| addition to being so shy as to be
harmless, he is not thickly populated.
; He only carries 300.000 germ passen
gers. Swill barrel flies average about

and dwelling house-flies nearly 000

Swill barrel flies, pig pen flies, and j
dwelling house flies are the same (
species of insect. The only difference
is in the degree of dirtiness. It is the
difference between a mau before and
after his bath.
The fly is a most voracious eater.
We have heard that he is a most ap
palling breeder, but his gastronomic
ability has not had much notice. A

Because sputum Is from a case of con
sumption or excretions are from a
case of typhoid is no reason why they
do not appeal to the fly's palate. Being
fond of filth, as well as of clean food;
being fond of dirty places, naturally
they have many germ diseases of their
own.
There are epidemics affecting flies
as well as epidemics affected by flies.
But what matters it if a few millions

Hies are of no consequence except
as they affect the food They do not
start any disease They serve to carry
them from one place to another. One
farmer may get typhoid in his milk
and then spread typhoid to a hundred
farmers' milk by emptying it Into a
common vat. From this common vat
500 consumers may obtain their milk.
Thus typhoid may be spread all over a
town. But about the only chance for
solid food like bread, meat, and sugar
to spread typhoid is through the help
of flies. A man’s water faucet taps the
same pipe as that of another man. a
man's milk bottle is filled from the

"Swat the fly early and late," Is
what the health officials of the city of
Chicago are endeavoring to have the
residents of that city do in an effort
to prevent the spreading of disease
by the little pests.
Some of the truths which the health
officials are endeavoring to bring borne
are set forth in the following para
graphs:
"Bread makes a fine foot wipe for
flies.”
"It's a short haul from the garbage
can to the dining room via the fly
route."
"Flies Peddle. So Paddle.”
"Flies will peddle, peddle, peddle—
Unless you paddle, paddle, paddle.
Get busy. Keep busy.”
“If at first you don't succeed, swat,
swat again.”
In fighting files, it is most important
to concentrate attention on fly breed
ing places. Next in importance comes
fly feeding places. Flies reouire such
an enormous volume of food that we
'-an accomplish something by keeping
things free from fly food. Most im
portant is care of the garbage—no
garbage on the ground, a clean can
w ell covered and frequent removal.
But efforts toward diminishing fly
food should not stop at garbage. Ex
posure of foods to the flies in stores
must be stopped. Confectionery, fruits,
vegetables, meats, and general bulk
stand the principles of training, w hich
guided the Greek in his games, in his
battles and his dances, and made the
proportions of his figure different from
ours of today, that Greek sculpture
is in reality a puzzle to us. Certain
postures fixed by the Greek sculptor
seem to ns contortions, bordering on
physical impossibilities. There is al
ways a terrific controversy over the
restoration - of Greek sculpture, and
even then the arms and heads and
legs we supply never look right.
Ail this because we do not under
1 groceries must not be exposed. In
some states, laws covering this point
| are enforced. In others they are a
’ dead letter. What’s the use of fly
posters and widely heralded fly cam
paigns If the law relating to fly food
is not enforced?
It is advised that housewives sprin
kle a solution of one part of formalde
hyde to ten parta of water in their
garbage containers during the warm
months, to kill not only odors, but
flies and vermin.

of the harm from this fly. In addi

Jennings and King of the bureau of
entomology say it may spread pella
gra. The diseases of domestic ani
mals spread by it are anthrax, swamp
fever, glanders, septicemia, surra.
' souma, and. maybe, round worm.
In addition, biting flies worry stock
so much that they cannot work ef
ficiently. Animals get thin and milk
cows sometimes go off 40 to 60 per
cent in the amount of milk ppduced.
F. C. Bishopp of the United Slates
bureau of entomology, tells us that the
stable fly breeds largely in straw. Old
strawstacks in the fields are the worst
i offenders. Blshopp’s advice is to burn
; these stacks or else to spread the
straw, and plow It In deep. When a
j heavy rain falls on freshly threshed
! straw conditions for fly breeding are
at their worst- Manure containing
i straw is another breeding place of im
1 portance.
To keep the flies off, Bishopp ad
j vises a mixture of fish oil (one gal
lon), oil of pine tar (two ounces), oil
| of pennyroyal (two ounces), and kero
| sene lone-half a pint).
The fish-oil mixture. If faithfully ap
. plied, will serve as a repellent against
i flies as long as it retains its effective
ness.
Indian Ingenuity.
In his preface to "Antarctic Days."
Sir Ernest Shackleton tells an amus
ing little story of northern Canada.
A government geologist, with infi
nite labor, had collected some very in
teresting geological specimens in a
region far beyond civilisation. Most
of the collecting was done on the bar
ren ground 280 miles northeast of the
Great Bear lake. The scientific man
and the porters of the party carried
the rocks on their backs to the Great
Bear lake, paddled 300 miles across
the lake, and alternately paddled and
portaged 1,500 miles up the Macken
zie. Slave and Athabasca rivers.
The last portage was half a mile
long at the Grand Rapids of the Atha
basca. and it was done by Indian em
ployes of the Hudson’s Bay company.
The Indians were ingenious men. and
they still tell with pride how they
saved much labor by emptying all the
heavy bags and boxes at the lower end

at the upper end with rocks of simi

half a mile of difficult carrying. The

FRENCH LEGION OF HONOR
Highly-Prized Decoration Which Every

The first decorations of the Legion
of Honor, the famous French order of
merit, were conferred in 1302 upon
military and civil officers who had dis
tinguished themselves under the con
sulate. The order was founded May
19. 1802. by Napoleon, when he was
first consul. It consisted of various
grades, as grand crosses, grand offi
cers. commanding officers and legion
aries, and was a reward for services
of merit. The order w-as confirmed by
I Louis XVIII when the Bourbons were
returned to the throne a century ago,
and it has been continued, with neces
sary changes in the constitution,
through the reigns of Charles X, Louis
Philippe, Napoleon III. and the second
and third republics. Many Americans
and British subjects and other for
egners have received the decorations
