corner grocery, where the milk dip- 
per, hanging on the wall, affords an 
inviting resting place for every fly 
visitor that wings his way through 
the open door. The result has been 
evident, as in a large percentage of 
the cases visited last year infant 
troubles afflicted those children 
whose milk supply came from the 
corner groceries. 
The grocery keeper this year will 
be enjoined to keep both his milk 
and his dipper in the ice box, out of 
the way of the flies, and to keep the 
flies out of his store, so far as 
possible, by close screening, scrupu- 
lous cleanliness about the premises 
and the prompt disposal of decaying 
vegetable or animal matter and gar- 
bage of all kinds. 
To the housewife the department 
of health issues the following in- 
structions: 
““Hirst—See that your windows 
and doors are closely screened. 
‘““Second—See that all refuse and 
garbage are promptly placed in the 
garbage can; that the can is kept 
tightly covered all the time. If it 
has no lid cover it with a carpet. 
““Third—Any papers in which 
provisions or edibles have been 
wrapped should be kept in a closed 
receptacle and burned once a day.

How to Keep Flies Out. 
With these precautions the de- 
partment declares that the average 
household will be almost free of 
flies all summer. Flies do not come 
into the house to keep the inmates 
company, but. hunting something to 
eat. If there are not waste, garbage 
or crumbs about the premises there 
will be no incentive for a fly invas- 
ion, and the screening should prove 
sufficient to repel the curiosity of 
winged idlers, although it will not 
keep a hungry horde out if there 
is any food in evidence inside. 5 
Typhoid fever is also often trans- 
mitted through the agency of flies, 
and the infant ailments are largely. 
due to the infection of foods by 
houseflies. We are not only going 
to fight for the child’s life after it 
has been taken ill, but also against
