THE MENACE OF THE HOUSE FLY Different times, different manners! In medieval days when the black death, typhus, smallpox, and other virulent plagues were taken as a mat- ter of course, the phrase "he would not kill a fly" was invented as a very high compliment to personal gciod- ness. Today, the person who would not kill a fly is looked upon merely as ignorant. The house fly is world- wide in distribution and is notorious for the part it plays in the dissemin- ation of such dangerous diseases as typhoid, infantile diarrhoea, tubercu- losis, eholera, dysentery, and others. It breeds in filth of the most objec- tionable kind, and yet it is tolerated in many homes, and public eating places. The fly is a menace to public health owing to its 'habit of passing directly from putrid filth to human food, carrying with it bacteria and other organisms and particles of de- composing organic matter on its hairy body, legs, sticky feet; and niouth- parts. Undesirable organisms may al- so be conveyed to food it its excreta and repur"gitated saliva (fly specks). Several generations of house flies develop during the warm months of. the ?rear, says the Dominion. Entoni- ologist, the number• varying with the character of the season. The flies are most numerous in summer and early autumn but diminish rapidly with the advent of cold weather. The most ef- fective and desirable method of con- trolling house flies undoubetdly con- sist in eliminating or reducing their breeding places to a minimum by pro- perly treating or disposing of such materials as manure and garbage. Fresh horse manure is a prolific source of house fly production and this material is probably responsible for the majority of flies in rural sec- tions. In. thetitre. s l wiere horses have been largely replaced in favour of mechanical transport, garbage is an important factor in fly production. To be effective, control measures dir- ected against their breeding places should be organized on a community basis, supported by a public well -in - 'formed on the menace of the house fly to health and the means by which it may be combatted. One neglected manure heap or garbage dump is of- ten f ten sufficient to infest a whole neigh- borhood, and it is necessary therefore to enlist the active co-operation of the- whole community. "I say, dad," said the enthusiastic schoolboy returning home, "we gave a wonderful show at school. Lots of OP parents came, anti though some of them had seen it before, they all had a fine time.
