Clean Up to Swat the Fly. Have you noticed there are not so No-|many flies as there used to be? If you live in one of these cieaned-up cities you surely have. The little house fly has always been considered a nuisance, a pest, but it is only in late years that we have come to under- stand that he is more than a nuisance. He is a deadly menace to health, He jes disease of many kinds, among them the deadly spinal meningitis. jathering disease germs on the cush- ons Of his feet and on the ends of his “whiskers,” he deposits them on food, n water, on the lips of sleeping per. on clothing everywhere. He ls siest known distributor of diseas: rms. Even that notorious plague rrier the rat, takes off his hat to the deadly fly. The mosquito, confines his vity to malaria. The fly isa wholesale distributor of disease germs of all kinds, What, ask, has the clean-up and paint-up campaign to do with the de struction of the fly? Perhaps you sup posed the “wat the fly” slogan dic the Job of reducing the swarms of thar little pest. You call to mind thosc wonderful figures of the millions of flies which result in August if you fail to swat just one in March. Theoreti cally those figures are good, and if you miss a fly in March and naiure progresses perfectly with none of the thousands of mishaps which may oc cur, there will be millions of flies in August, or there would be if this new idea did not intervene to prevent For remember this: Files breed in refuse. When refuse is destroyed the fly finds no happy home in which to establish a family. Likewise, the mos. quito breeds in‘every little bit of stag nant water he can find.

Now you sec how a clean-up| and paint-up campaign, which re- moves the refuse from back yards, cel-| lars, alleys and vacant lots reduces| tremendously the numbers and activ-| ity of those disease spreading agents. | Not “swat the fly” but “remove th refuse" is the right slogan for fly extermination. | Ask any health officer and he will| say that thie is the finest kind of sanitary and disease preventing work| that can be done. But, you ask, why) do not the health officers do this if it is so vital to health? The answer is that they have flot the facilities nor the backing of the city govern- ment and its ordinancees, nor the} people themselves, unless that interest! is specifically stimulated. It’s Up to the People Themselves. The people themselves must awake to the situation, and they must do the work; and not for a day, nor a week. Then after having thus cleaned up the premises they must clothe them in the garb and armour of cleapliness so that the wanton desecrator will re spect and not defile them with further accumulations of filth and disorder. This was the gist of Mr. Clark's idea, that prompted his creation of the playr| by which the people might be*induced to get into this cleaning up and keep. ing it up.
