We are pleased to know Miss Ross were Bay, God- This is the time for each household­ er in Canada ’to lay plans for his own. annual private war, in which the bat­ tle-cry is “Swat that fly!”, the Health. League of Canada advised today. One reason for the success with which the pestiferous insect resists at­ tacks upon him is his habit of taking up the fight each year without warn­ ing and before he is expected. A good way to wreck his plans at this time is to spring clean the yard, and every other outlying portion of the home, as vigorously and thorough­ ly as the housewife cleans the inter­ ior. Garbage cans might be given a wash with strong disinfectant with advantage to the household involved. No rubbish or garbage should be al­ lowed to collect, and where manure is used for preparing the garden it should be dug under as soon as pos­ sible. Don’t forget that the female fly lays her eggs in rubbish and refuse; that the grubs hatch out in a few days and shortly afterward burrow into the earth to undergo their metamorphosis. Don’t give them any encouragement or help in doing so. I *’ b. Many people still look on the fly as only a mild nuisance, chiefly an­ noying by his habits of buzzing and tickling. Those little things are noth­ ing! If one had microscopical eyes, capable of seeing the disease germs which this enemy of mankind picks u,p, carries around and distributes dur­ ing a single day, he would take a dif­ ferent view of the enemy. - ■ It may be permitted to mention on­ ly one of the fly’s obnoxious manners: When you see him trampling ar­ ound in the sugar bowl, he is not just nibbling the grains of sugar. He can’t nibble; so he regurgitates a drop of fluid from his tummy to melt the sug­ ar, then he can suck it up. Not nice, is it? The sooner you put up fry screens, and get ready with the swatter, the better will be your chance of having a home free from flies. The occupant of a ground-floor flat said to the postman: “You always seem to have something for the man in the top flat.” “Yes,” replied the postman; “I once had a row with him, and ever since he has sent himself a postcard every day, just because he knows I have to climb- five flights of stairs to deliver it.” S.S.
