Several Mayors Ask Information About Hurty's "No Fly" Plans.

Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, has received letters from several Indiana mayors asking about the crusade he propoHan to make on flies and offering to give it every possible aid. To all of these inquiries Dr. Hurty is sending a copy of an anti-fly ordinance which he has drawn up. The ordinance makes it a misdemeanor for any resident of a city where the ordinance is passed, to permit the existence of fly-breeding conditions. The police, health officers and town marshal are directed to enforce the ordinance. Dr. Hurty believes the common house fly is responsible for the spread of disease. v
