A Serious Problem. 
As a disease disseminator the 
house-fly causes the family of the 
average household more trouble and 
annoyance than any other insect. 
Since the discovery that the mos- 
quito is responsible for the spread of 
yellow fever, medical experts have 
given a great deal of attention to 
the work of the house-fly and have 
come to the conclusion that it is one 
of the most active agents in the 
spread of tuberculosis, typhoid fever 
and diarrhoeal diseases. 
It is mainly to young children 
however that the flies are a menace 
in hot weather and especially during 
the months of August and Septem- 
ber, when the dog-days are with us. 
They swarm around the baby’s crib, 
unless kept off by neting; they alight 
upon the nursing bottle and seek to 
share the baby’s food. In this way 
diarrhoeal disorders are _ often 
started, ending in death from cholera 
infantum to the little one. In the 
state of Maine several large cities 
are taking up the work and Presi- 
dent Murphy of Augusta’s Board of 
Health says in his report: 
‘<The chief breeding place of the com- 
mon housefly is stable manure which has 
been stacked up in piles and is undergoing 
a process of decomposition. Last autumn 
your board passed an ordinance regulating 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
proper control of manure piles throughout; 
our city limits, and this ordinance we are 
now commencing to put-into execution, re- 
quiring that every householder who keeps 
horses shall either set out his manure 
daily, as required for other garbage, or 
shall keep his manure, if he desires to do 
so, in a bin, barrel or pit covered with wire 
gauze of sufficiently small mesh to prevent 
the flies passing through and depositing 
their eggs in the manure pile beneath it. 
This measure, if persistently enforced, will 
mean a great diminution in the number 
of flies and consequently a diminution in 
their possibility to transmit typhoid. In 
fact, with a clean water and milk supply 
and with the surface closets and manure 
piles eliminated or under proper control, 
typhoid would become almost a curiosity 
in any community.’’ 
‘*Death to the house-fly’’ should be 
the war cry at all times, and especial 
emphasis should be laid on _ this 
phrase. Your and the whole 
family’s health demands it. It 
should mean keeping continually at 
it all the time and the result will be 
amply rewarded for the effort ex- 
pended. 
We advocate the liberal use of 
‘““Fly-Go’’ for the work of extermi- 
nation; which is recommended by the 
government and all who have used 
it, to be the right thing in the right 
place. 
Well-Known Manchester 
Passes Away. 
Citizen 
On Thursday morning, the 25th, 
Mr. George A. Kitfield fell into that 
sleep which knows no waking. For 
several months he has suffered from 
a stricture which made it impossible 
for any nourishment to reach _ his 
stomach. Since his return from the 
hospital, some three weeks since, 
his friends have felt no reasonable 
hope of his recovery, although every 
means known to medical science 
were used, and his personal courage 
and manful fight for life was extra- 
ordinary. 
Mr. Kitfield was born in Manches- 
ter, May, 1856, and, with the excep- 
tion of three years spent in Dorches- 
ter, bas always lived here. He was 
the youngest son of Henry and Lucy 
Ann Kitfield and the last surviving 
member of his family. After leaving 
the Manchester High School he pre- 
pared for college and entered Har. 
vard with the class of 1878. His 
father’s death caused him to leave 
during his senior year,’ and soon 
after he commenced a_ business 
career in Boston. In 1882 he married 
Miss Hattie B. Carter of Manchester 
who, with two daughters, Misses 
Marian and Edna, survive him. His 
cherry greeting and pleasant smile 
made him very popular. A man of 
kindly sympathy and ready help, 
his loss will be felt, not only in his 
family cirele where he was a most 
tender husband and devoted father, 
but also as a neighbor and a friend. 
The sincere sympathy of the com- 
munity is extended to his afflicted 
family. 
Funeral services will be held at-his 
late residence, Ashland avenue, on 
Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock. 
Burial will be private.
