“Files are the most dangerous insects
we have. They are much more dan-
gerous than bees or hornets; these
may sting you, and the sting is painful,
but you soon get over the pain. Flies
do much more harm than this. They I
walk over filthy places like sewers and
garbage cans, and after eating the
filthy food which they find there, they
come into your house and walk on the
food you eat, carrying on their feet the
tiny germs which live in filth Just as
you live in a house. These germs are
not only filthy and disgusting, but
many of them cause such diseases as
typhoid fever, cholera infantum and
Summer complaint. When the flies
hring them from some dirty place to
your food or leave some of them when
they crawl'on your face or hands, you
may swallow these germs without
knowing it and be taken HI with one of
these diseases. So the fly that seems
so harmless may do you much more
hrm.than a bee of a hornet.
“All persons should place screens at
their doors and windows during the
warm weather, to keep the flies out/of
the house. If they can not screen all
the rooms, they should cren those in
which food is pt; and if anyone is
Mick in the house, flles.shoul be kept
from the sick room, so that they may
not carry germs from the sick person
to tho rent of the family.
"Children may help to keep files
from swarming in and around housea
and from earning germs of sickness
from one person to another. In the.
flrat place, they should not buy candy,
na legislation of the current year fruit or Other food which is left in
to hasten the inevitable reac- front of stores or anywhere else where
om the wild-eyed enthusiasm of fiies may feed and walk on it. Files lay
