the propagation of the fy at this 
juncture, it may be stated that it is 
now too late to stop their multiplica- 
tion effectually this summer. But 
this fact makes the necessity for pre- 
caution against the ravages of 
the fly all the stronger remem- 
bering that it is the propensity 
of the fly to feed upon putrescence 
and to carry the bacilli with them to 
be deposited upon the nearest article 
of human food possible, milk or other 
white food preferably. So then: 
Sereen your houses next summer 
as nearly perfectly as possible. 
Keep the flies away from all forms 
of food, especially milk. 
Use every means possible to kill 
the flies. Fly paper, fly traps, ‘‘Fly- 
Go,’’ ete., anything and everything 
that will kill them. 
Sterilize everything possible that 
has been exposed to flies. Boiling 
water is the greatest of all germi- 
cides. Surgeons now boil the instru- 
ments with which they operate on the 
human flesh instead of using ecar- 
bolic acid, corrosive sublimate. (mer- 
cury) or other chemical germicides. 
Wash your kettles, pans, pots, 
dishes: and cutlery in boiling water 
if for only a moment, and then use 
water at a lower temperature if you 
desire. 
Keep flies away from children— 
not because they might awaken the 
baby,. but because they may imocu- 
late it with deadly baeilli. 
Destroy all forms of. refuse, 
whether from the table or from the 
chamber. If you cannot destroy it 
utterly, at least scald it with boiling 
water—mere hot water will not do. 
Most important of all: Do not im- 
agine that all this talk about house 
flies is an ordinary fad to be dis- 
missed from the mind as most other 
fads are when, after the moment, 
they cease to interest. 
Fly Deadly Enemy of Man. 
No one knows why a dried kernel 
of grain planted in the earth will 
bring life and more grain, but it will. 
Content yourself with the knowledge 
that there are men who know how 
and why the house fly earries 
disease, and is in reality the deadli- 
est, most destructive and most devas- 
tating enemy of mankind, instead of 
being a harmless insect that may be 
idly brushed away by the hand, be- 
cause all you know about it is the 
trifling annoyance it causes you. 
There is no room in a daily news- 
paper to relate the proofs of these 
general statements. There is room, 
however, to give this general warn- 
ing, and it is done in the hope that

every household into which The 
North Shore Breeze enters will join 
the army that is being enlisted 
throughout the civilized world to 
eradicate this insect that is at once 
a nuisance, a plague anda pestilence. 
At another and more opportune - 
time this paper will show ‘how this 
greater source of fatal diseases may 
be eradicated and the diseases it 
transmits may be made as rare and 
as infrequent as yellow fever, small- 
pox and other forms of illness once 
as common as they are now. 
Meanwhile, kill the flies. If you 
can’t kill: them, keep them away 
from your food. And keep them 
away from the baby.
