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

"flyless towns."
S Flies can only travel with their Jine
of vision which must be toward the
c light. 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.

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.
