J. Scholes This is the time of yeak' to begin to swat the fly and destroy its breeding plahes. The latter is the more effec- tive way of getting rid of flies!. Flies are scavengers, ,They are filthy. They breed in decaying vege- tation, human excrement and manure. Any germs of disease that .may be present in these favorite Breeding places are picked up by the flies and may later be deposited on food. The contaminated food then becomes the direct means of introducing these germs into the body. Typhoid fever, dysentry and infec- tious diarrheas can be conveyed in this way. It is possible that flies may be concerned in the carrying of sortie forms' of tuberculosis, Some believe that flies are also capable of conveying smallpox and infantile par- alysis front one person to another, One variety of fly is the means of spreading African sleeping sickness. So the charges against the fly are sufficiently numerous and serious to justify its destruction. Preventive Measures To prevent the breeding of fliea,,all garbage, waste and rotting vegetation should be either destroyed or remov- ed -to some distance front dwellings. Box ps'ivies should be treated with tinslaked lime. Liberal amounts should be used, daily, at least during the warm seasons. The U. .S. Department of Agri - culture advises putting in manure a solution of lb. of hellebore in to gallons of water to prevent the breed- ing of flies. This amount is enough. to treat about no... cubic feet of. man- ure. It does not interfere with 'the. fertilizing qualities.. (But remember that hellebore is•a poison.) Homes and stores should be pro- tected against the entrance of flies by screens or mosquito netting. Fly- traps placed near the doors are also. of same help, Both in the home and in the shops food should be kept cov- ered. Begin to swat now! Each fly kill- ed now reduces by many; thousands the number of flies there will be later on. And the fewer the flies, the less the opportunity for the spread of dis- ease.. Questions and Answers •' Embolism Mrs, O. M. writes: "I have •a' rela- tive who has .suffered from heart-dis- ease eart-disease for a number of years. • He has recently had a bad attack and has de- veloped a partial paralysis and has lost his ability to speak. 'The doctor says he has erabol:ism of the brain. Would you rnind telling me what'etn- bolism is? How is it different from a stroke? We thought he had a stroke. Any chalice of complete recovery. Reply r. The plugging; of a blood -vessel by a clot, or other obstruction, which has been brought to its place of lod- gment by the blood current, is called. embolism. Most cases of embolism of the brain occur in heart disease. ; 2, The term apoplexy is more commonly used to, desigtnate• the con- dition resulting from hemorrhage in- to the brain due to a ruptured artery. 3. Sometimes. Have Heart Examined A. K. L. writes: "For several mon- thsti I have noticed that I get out of breath when.I walk very fast or go up stairs or up hills. This did not worry me because I am too stoat. But lately I have been waking up at night and have trouble getting my, breath until I sit up. What 'would cause this?" Reply There are several passible causes. Among these are heart disease, Bright's disease, anemia, and harden- ed arteries with high blood pressure. Better have a careful examination -- (including an examination of the ur lee and blood.) Poisoning from Paints T. R. MO, writes: '113y trade I am a painter, I would like tq know if thele is much danger of getting poisa. oned by breathing the flumes of paint?" Reply. :There seems to be little doubt of the danger of poisoning from inhala- tion ofthe fumes of molten lead. In scraping off lead paint the dust may- be iaybe inhaled and cause poisoning. This applies 'particttlarly to white lead, though other kinds may also cause poisoning. <, It is not definitely known that these cases of poisoning are the result of lead being inhaled into the lungs. It is probable that most of the poisoning results from swallowing the lead.. ' Swallowing of lead may also occur as the result of getting Icad on the hands and not thoroughly cleaning i thein before eating. This also ;aa - plies; of course, to lead paints. Dementia .Praecox Mrs. W. L.. writes: "Have a rela- tive who has just been committed for dementia praecox. I would like to know what causes that form of in- sanity and whether it is curable," Reply The cause is not definitely known, It is generally regarded as incur- able. There are sometimes periods of improvement (remissions), (Note:—Dr, Scholes will answer such health questions in these col- umns as will be of interest to others and permissible in public print. Per- sonal questions will be answered only when accompanied by self-addressed stamped envelope, Address Dr. W. J, Scholes, in care of this paper,) Paw never married his first girl be- cause she would not have him until he went to college and got an educa- tion. Then after he went to college six months he would not have her. ° Smiling Char 6`Says- "A ys • `PA lot o' these fortunes that're bei.x spent an our - ultra -modern life urultra-modernliffe wire sacred. filth'. little old., fashioned screwed up pocket- book ocketbook Thursday',' April 3o44, xaza Vegetable ' nd Flower Seeds from your Loc s 1 Merchant TTIs easy eo identify a garden grown from )l ennie's Seeds by the magni- ficence of ice flowers, and the lueclouanaas and 'large size of its vegetables..
