| FLY!
More Americans were killed by flies*
here at home last year than were slain ;
on the battlefields of France. g
Flies sent more human beings into
their graves within the past 12 months
than all the wild beasts of all the
i
wild jungles, mountains and plains ofi
the world did.
The fly is more dngerous than the;
roaring lion^ the slinking tiger^ the J
coling snake or the crouching wildcat, j
because it is easier to avoid the lionj j
tiger^ snake or wildcat.
The fly has killed more people than ;
all the criminal murderers of all na-l
tions and all time.
The fly is never harmless and is al
ways harmful.
Flics kill more human being's than
earthquakes, tornadoes floods fires
? >
1 volcanic eruptions.
| Flies kill' more people each year
than are drowned that year in all!

I Flies are more deadly than rattleJ
[ snakes, more to be draded than man'
eating sharks and more to be feared
! than the Gila monster cr the taran-1
' tula.
; Here's some expert testimony on |
! the subject of flies:
' "In its habits the fly is probablyj
the most objectionable insect with
which man comes in contactsays
I I>h. Fi nest A. Sweet, of the Fnited j
i
States Public Health Service who
J
adds:
'"The fly not only breeds in filthy'
but it continues to frequent objection 1
n!>le material troughout the days of its,
j existence, leaving nly to invade the.
: residence f>f Jinan contaminate his
food and oftentimes to spread di*
sease.
"Fliese may transmit disease 'n
either of two ways. The first method

is "by mechanical transference, where,
jby the insect becomes contaminated
Avith the parasites of niicrc-organizma!
jof disease as a consequence of fre
^quenting filth nd places where these
agents abound thus carrying patho- j
j > I
jgcnic organisms directly to food and!
idrink partaken of by man.
"Milk which is one of the best
J J
media for the growth of bacteria, may
[be. coi taminated by flies merely
| "The second metlu d of disease
transmission is by inoculation. Forthrough
th act of feeding,
tunately housefly are of the non bit;
ing variety and therefore incapable j
of spreading disease in tbis way. i
"Of the diseases which may he]
transmitted by house-flies the follow-J
ing are worthy of consideration: Ty-j
phoid fever, Diarrhea and Enteritis j
Cholera Dysentery Para-typhoid fe-1
J 9
vcr, Intestinal Parasitic InfectionsJ
Sleeping Sickness^ Surra Xagana. j
"Another manneere ein which flies;
disseminate infection is through the!
regurgitation or vomiting of food. It]
is unpleasant to ensider that insects
which have but recently frequented i
garbage heaps, cuspidrs and manure
piles may be guests at our- tables but;
it is all the more disgusting to consider
that the very material of which
they have partaken should be subse-j
quently distributed over our own food:
and then received into our system.
The number of such vomited spots do:
posited bv wol 1 -focl flies may bo onorl
moust frcquntly rising to a hundred j
or more a day."
(>ne flv killed today niav save the
I
life of a human being this summer?'
your life, it may be!
(hie fly less today means a hundred j
thousand less next September. Swat-j
ting a fly today is equal to swatting;
a hundred thousand four months;
hence.

culled into extraordinary session by
Pnidclont Wilson from Paris convened
at noon today and Republican
majorities in senate and house organized
both sides.
Representative Gillette of Massachusetts
was elected speaker of the
house over Representative Champ
Clark of Missouri Democratic candidate
and former speaker by a vote
of 21'to 17 2.
Senior Cummins of Iowa, the Rcpub
I lean candidate^ was chosen president
pro tempore of the senate over Senator
Pittman of Xevada Democrat 47
to !2. Several Democrats were absorb
but all Republicans were in their
seats, two withholding their votes.
The Republicans of both sides also
elected full slates of other offices and
thus for the first time since 1911 re
y y
turned to control of the American naional
legislature.
Routine affairs of organization com
prised the opening day's proceedings
both bodies adjourning until tomorrow
when Persident Wilson's cabled message
will be read in the senate and
house by the clerks. The senate to
day concluded its sssion in 50 minutes
and the house in two hours and 20
minutes.
Much Work Ahead.
Although keenly realized by all mem
hers, there was no outward evidence >
in the initial proceedings of the enormous
amount of work ahead. The
peace treaty with Germany including
the league f nations covenant^ the
Austrian treaty and the proposed con
vention for the protection of Francej
arc not expected before next month.
All hold promise of dramatic debate.
Appropriation bills which failed in
the filibuster last March will be rushed
immediately in the house. Chairman
Good of the house appropriations
committee tonight called a meeting
for tomorrow to begin work of the
general deficiency measure.
Xo objection was raised on the sen
ate floor to the seating of Senator Tru
man IT. Xewberrv of Michigan Re
publican, whose election is being con
tested by Henry Ford Democrat. For
y
mul notice of renewal of the Ford con
test with a request for a committee
investigation, was filed.
