Dr. Hurty Has a Few Words To Offer About Flies.

Towns which have flies on than, are the fly-town kind. They have flies because they are dirty. If you wish to know the character of a town just pass through the alleys back of the business houses and take a look back of hotels and restaurants, and then you will know. Why are some people dirty? Why do some people have manure piles? Why do some people have nasty over-running outhouses? Why do some people throw garbage on the ground at tne back door? Why do some people throw garbage into the alley? Isn’t it because-they are ungodly? Isn’t it true that cleanliness is next to Godliness? Where flies are, there are the ungodly also. There are the unclean. It is unnecsessary to warn good practical business men not to locate in fly-towns, for such are well aware that fly-towns are dead. That is why they have flies on them. / Towns! One and all, each and every one, be‘dean. There is money in it, and better, there is health and godliness in it. The state board of health will send to applicants a model AntiFly Ordinance, which every town should pass and enforce. Prevent the Fly. Respectfully,

J. N. HURTY,

* State Health Commissioner.
