House Fly Biggest Murderer That 
Ever Lived Says Hodge. 
Declaring that the common house 
fly is responsible for a large part of 
the filth diseases, of which typhoid 
fever is one of the best known, and 
aroused by Worcester’s recent ex- 
perience with the typhoid epidemic, 
Dr. Clifton F. Hodge,, of Clark Uni- 
versity, has formerly declared war 
on the pest and, with the slogan, 
‘‘Let us make Worcester the first 
flyless city in the world,’’ he asks 
everybody to enlist in the fight. 
‘‘To it for Worcester,’’ he urges, 
‘‘and thereby protect yourselves and 
your neighbors so that we may not 
again be afflicted with a recurring 
typhoid fever epidemic which may 
be much more disastrous than the 
- one from which we are just recover- 
ing.’’ 
Professor Hodge has formulated a 
method of attack which he declares

makes possible the complete exter-

the house fly, which has _ recently 
been rechristened the ‘‘typhoid fly.’’ 
The house fly or the filth fly, which 
is a name some give it, is a scav- 
enger. He breeds in filth and he 
feeds on filth, but the good he does 
is infinitesimal compared with the 
harm he does. The murder he com- 
mits puts to shame the atrocities 
done by the cobra or the rattle- 
snakes and the man-eating lions and 
tigers. The harm is all the more de- 
plorable when one stops to consider 
that humanity does not need to lay 
itself open to his attacks if the 
proper steps are taken to extermin- 
ate him. And he can be extermin- 
ated if everyone does his part. It 
seems hardly reasonable to suppose 
that anyone will neglect his duty 
or shirk in the warfare which Dr. 
Hodge is to institute when he learns 
of the small though important part 
which he shall play. No one can be

mite. The mite is this: 
Must Kill Adults. 
The vulnerable point of attack is 
the adult fly and his food supply. It 
is almost impossible to remove all 
the filth in which the fly may breed 
and which he may feed upon, but 
it is possible to make a hitherto ne- 
‘glected use of this same filth to the 
undoing of the fiy. In a word the 
method is to use the filth for bait to 
trap the fly. After three years of 
experimenting it is proved con- 
vineingly that this is the only effec- 
tive method of attack. It is impossi- 
ble to kill the fly by violence so it 
must be done by strategy as the 
hunter does who lays in wait at the 
drinking pool to slap the animal 
which is safe in the thickets. The 
attraction of the adult fly for food 
and water, with its ability to fly a 
long distance in search of these nec- 
essaries, make it possible to trap ev- 
ery fly before it can get a chance to 
get into the houses. Every garbage 
ean and swill barrel can be _ con- 
verted into a fly-trap. Every fly 
that comes to it for food is caught. 
It is a practical matter to focus ev- 
ery fly that appears in the vicinity 
by earefully putting all filth in a 
single receptacle.
