Fight the Flies
W ISE people predict that the day will come when housekeepers will be just as ashamed to have flies in their homes as rats of mice. Since preven- tion is always better than cure. it is well to begin the campaign early in summer. A. thorough cleaning of the premises will do away with much that breeds flies, and a stern determ- ination to keep the ground about the house free from filth will see won- ders accomplished. Have it under- stood that not a bit of waste from the kitchen is ever to be thrown on the ground, that all sweepings are to be religiously burned. that chickens and live stock are to be kept at a safe distance from the kitchen, and that all vessels containing slop must be covered. Have you ever noticed the myriads of flies about a crumb oi sugar or a spoonful of jam dropped by some careless hand? If so you will readily see that the crumbs from the kitchen swept into the yard will furnish food for a whole army of pests.
When a storm is coming the insects gather in swarms on porches ready to swoop down the instant the door is opened. A good plan on such ve- casions is to have a pail of boiling water, and with a broom dipped into it. sweep down the flies by hundreds. making sure they are really dead. The cleanest of housekeepers are not free from this affliction on rainy days. so the best way is to go in and out as little as possible, brushing the screen each time.
Poison fly paper has much to com- mend it, if it is kept out of reach of the children. It is swift and sure,
and few flies can resist it. Of course, there is some danger that the dying flies will drop into uncovered vessels of food. but with care this can be avoided. The sticky kinds of paper have the added advantage of keeping the fly when they catch him, but where the space is limited it is hard to manage. One thing ought never to be done, and that is to shroud the whole house in darkness to get rid of the flies. Even a few flies are better than a house shut up like a vault and as dark as the grave.
Manure piles are the ideal breeding places for flies, and for this reason should never be located near the house. A clean barn helps make a clean house, but it is not always possible to dispose of the manure every day in the busy season. The family dog should not be allowed to drag his dinner here and there over the porches, but be taught to eat at a distance from the back door. Al- lowing milk vessels to stand uncov- (red will draw hundreds of flies, and milk spilled on the floor or given to the cat out of doors brings trouble.
And never, never allow the baby to wander about with food and the flies helping themselves from it. Flies car- ry disease germs, and the same dirty insect that a moment ago was on filth in the barnyard may the next be on the baby's food as he wanders about the lawn. If the child is hungry he will sit quietly in the kitchen until the bread and butter disappears, and if not the wait till meal time will not hurt him.
The ideal closet is connected by an underground pipe with a running stream, but if this is impossible a

good supply of earth may be always on hand to use each day. Lime fre- quently scattered about will keep down the odor and also the chance for fly breeding. A stout box that may be carted to the field and emptied frequently is the best thing for a country closet, but if this is impossible it should be located at some distance from the dwelling.
Of course, much may be accom- plished each day by a determined kill- ing of such flies as creep in, or boldly enter while the youngest member of the family makes his slow exit. A wire brush or folded newspaper will bring down the pest and not damage the wallpaper, unless the lady of the house gets angry and mashes the fly. A light blow is sufficient, but there are housekeepers with such a hatred for flies that nothing short of annihila- tion will satisfy them when they strike one. Cleanliness is the keynote in successfully battling with flies, and it wins every time.
Using Disinfectants
Bear in mind the difference between a disinfectant and deodrant : the form- er kills germs, while the latter des- troys odors but does not kill germs. Many so-called disinfectants have very little germ-killing power, and are simply deodorants.
Cleanliness is the foremost agency in destroying disease germs. Sunlight is a valuable destrover of bacteria ; it - importance cannot be overesti- mated. Moisture is favorable to growth of bacteria. Germs thrive in damp corners.
Boiling water is one of the most of- ficient disinfectants: one-half hour boiling destroys all disease germs.
Bichloride of mercury or corrosive sublimate in solution, one part to 1,000 parts of water, may be used for
wiping infected woodwork, etc. It should not be used on metal. It is ex- tremely poisonous, and has no color or odor ; great care must be exercised in its use.
Carbolic acid in 3 per cent to 3 per cent solution in water is most ef- fective. This is poisonous, but its strong odor reveals its presence. It may be mixed with typhoid dis- charges ; soiled bedding may be soaked in this solution before boiling.
Chloride of lime, 6 ounces to a gal- lon of water, is excellent in scrubbing floors.
For disinfecting a room after the patient has left, formaldehyde is most efficient. This does not injure fabrics. furniture or hangings. This is usually used under the direction of an officer of the board of health. It is exceed- ingly poisonous.
Do not buy disinfectants about which you know nothing.
Sulpho-napthol is excellent to nse about the kitchen sink. A little in the water in which wounds, scratches, etc., are washed, will prevem infec- tion .
