gave some very interesting informa

to help as he showed the ravages of
this dreaded disease among the many
peoples, Canada having only 12 to 15
cases, but in foreign countries it is
very prevalent. Through medical
clinics many are cured and the suff

of the city. In many of these homes
several members of the family were
ill with a similar complaint and when
the flies which swarmed around the
pail containing soiled diapers were
seen to fly to the family dinner table
it is not hard to believe that trans
mission of infection might take place
in this way.
The lesson which all should learn is'
that flies are dangerous carriers. They
should be excluded from our homes
by properly fitting window screens
and screen doors. All filth and decay
ing material should be cleaned up.
Garbage and other refuse should be
wrapped and placed in cans which
have tight-fitting lids. Outdoor priv
ies in farming areas and at summer*
cottages should be properly construct
ed and looked after to exclude the
flies. The few survivors who are clev
er enough to penetrate these defences
may be dealt with in the
means of sticky fly paper
swing with a fly swatter.

where millions-of people are prevent
