KILL FLIES NOW TO PREVENT DISEASE Attention has been called to th fact that now is the time to begi - fighting flies , for the flies kille now mean many millions less flie during the hot summer months. Whil no concerted campaign aaginst flie has been started, this will come latei and the following information i published for these concerned an those conecrned means everybody. Although the life of a fly is onl about forty days for breeding is s rapid that except for natural enemie and man's efforts the fly would soo render earth uninhabitable for humai beings. They multiply faster than any oth er know* pest and are more dangei ous to human life than war. They ar conveyors of the most deadly dis eases, including typnoia, aipntnene dystentery and infantile paralysis. Science has learned a lot of inter esting facts about flies and how t exterminiate them. By means of i scientifically constructed trap th army practically eliminated flie from hospital and training camps and saved thousands of lives. Since the war these traps havi been used by health authorities ii Tulsa, Louisville, Paducah and othe southern cities and have resulted ii _ g?r- wmmsw 1 .

They also find their food enn tirely by sense of smell. They rarely J travel farther than three hundred :S feet from where they were hatched ejor above the third or fourth story of s a building. The only successiui memr' od of exterminating flies is based on s these characteristics. d Dr. L. 0. Howard, United States I department of entomology, says: "5-j y 598,720,000,000 is the normal num-| o ber of flies a single fly will produce! s from April 15th to September 10th." j n The St. Louis health department in n its literature during the annual fly campaign says. "Flies in the dining) i- room usually precede nurses in the i - sick room." Also, "Flies are the most j e dangerous insects known to man. He ; i- should be their most persistent nal,' tural enemy. A fly in the milk may mean a member of the family in the - grave." Further, "if flies were as 0 much feared as bad water, there a would be less typhoid fever." e The war on flies should begin early s in the spring. One fly killed in April t, means? ^ 150 less in two weeks. e 5,000 less in one month. 1 5,598,720,000*000 less in one sumr mer. ij Flies have killed more people tnan MMi! rrin Drug I ipany J )ERED MILK, |{ le place of liquid milk m\ i?Economy, ConvennH Survnlv.

C. \uction People ^ | our war with Spain in 1898, more men were lost from the dangerous effects of flies than Spanish bullets. Flies should be . exterminated at their breeding places. Clean up and trap flies out doors . They do not breed in the house. They can and should be controlled and killed outjside the nouse. ARE YOU A MORON? What is a moron? Recently s?t-: eral alleged moral degenerates, crimi-; nals, and certain persons of rather j high social standing who have usad the revolver effectively and sometimes rather promiscuously, have been dubbed morons. The term was common among the psychiatrists and psycho| logists in the army, they applying it to soldiers discharged because of mental deficiency. At a recent meeting of the local home service section of the Red Cross, both Mrs. Coleman, the secretary, who defined the word as meaning "a person whose mental development is arrested ait about the age of twelve," as well the Rev. L. J. Bristow sought further light on the derivation of moron. A third person who was present at this meet ing later wrote the Lexicographer of j The Literary Digest for the deriva-! tion and the definition. The reply j received this week says: "A moron j is a feeble-minded person, of higher j intelligence than an imbecile. Thei word is derived from the Greek word, I moros, meaning stupid." Now we have it. A moron is a person, who is possibly capable of making a living by manual labor, but one who will n<?t support a proposed extra levy for better schools for Abbeville, or who will not subscribe to our honorable paper. Thii word is not to be found in either Webster's Unabridged Dictionary or any of the encyclopoedias, but The Literary Digest informs us mav be found in the latest edition of the New Standard Dictionary.
