Cities “With No Files On Them” Wanted by Dr. Hurty.

Cities “with no flies on them” will be raised to distinction this fall by the State Board of Health, according to Dr 7 J. N. Hurty, secretary of the board, who said he expected to publish a list of the citieß which were free from flies. The State Board of Health is after the fly, and from present indications the carefree insect will have to buzz around some to keep out of the way. Dr. Hurty’s plan of extermination does not contemplate the use of fly paper, but goes further. It will strike at the very heart of the problem by spreading broadcast information for the elimination of breeding places. Flies are always thickest in stables, barnyards and unsanitary outhouses; they breed in filth, says Dr. Hurty. The fly, as an active agent in the spread of disease, is hard to beat, he says, an no other agency is known that works so effectively in fertilizing receptive mediums with disease. The man who is in condition to get typhoid fever need only eat food visited by Mr. Fly in his aimless buzzing about, to receive the germs. The State Board of Health’s plan contemplates the drawing of an ordinance for the extermination of all breeding places, and for greater cleanliness upon the -streets. Thjs ordinance, with a circular letter explaining the habits of the fly, together with a colored poster showing how Mr. Fly flies from his home to the dining room, will be mailed to the health officers of the state. The cities that enact the ordinance and make a determined effort to enforce it will be placed upon the list of cities “with flies on them”. Do you know that croup can be prevented?
