No geed housekeeper will allow it fly to remain Within the four walls of her clean and orderly home. But un- fortunateiy the mischief begins out- side the jurisdiction of the helloes keeper. Garbage heaps, stables, end manure piles form the pet breeding Places and happy hunting grounds of flies.

This means that every dirty and danger- ous disease germ is carried by flies. They aro the greatest menace to life and health known to the civilized world, if wo eliminate the Germans. Destroy Breeding Places. The beat way to guard Against the etunmer crop of files is, first, to kill, as fast as they come out, all the win- ter fifes that have been hiding in buildings; second, to clean up all man- ure, filth and rubbish in which flies may breed; third, to keep theme set In covers of garbage cans and on porches where the flies are thickest to catch them before they can enter the house. Killing the flies. in early spring means that the mother flies are dis- posed of before they can lay eggs. Cleaning up all rubbish in the neigh- borhood means the elimination of flies from that neighborhood, because a fly seldom travels over five hundred yards from its breeding place unless, as frequently happens, it decides to take a radial trip or horsebacic ride. Trapping flies can bo done successfully because they will inevitably enter a trap baited with food if no other food is left about. 'The fleet thing is to see that there, is no rubbish in the house or garden in which flies may breed and live; the' second, to enter a vigorous protest if any such places are discovered in the, neighborhood, and to keep on making a disturbance until the menace is re- moved..
