The Common House Variety Are a Menace to Health. The United States Department of Agriculture has started a crusade against the common house fly and is | carrying on extensive experiments as to the best way of banishing it from Re abodes of man. The fly has been found to be not only a nuisance, but a menace to man's health. Its | hairy body carries both disease and leath. Many epidemics which sweep over communities in the hot season have been traced to the fly. Having its origin in filth, it brings with it the bacteria which breed in filth. And as it moves about, now crawling over refuse, now over the food on the ta- ble, flying from the lips of the sick | to the lips of the healthy; it is said to be more dangerous ¥ modern society than were the wild beasts to primi- tive man The high mortality among the chil- dren in the congested districts of a city, where - families are closely | crowded together, where refuse ac-! cumulates fast, where food is often kept in living rooms, 8 due to a | large degree, so scientists now say, to the fly: Infant diseases chiefly prevail in the hot season, when the flies abound.
