THE FLIES AGAIN
Norwich Record:
The obvious part of the fly season
is now at hand. The flies which were
not destroyed early in the season and
were emcouraged by the presence of
refuse heaps and receptacles of tilth,
have left their descendants, multiplied
a thousand times and more. It is late
now to do the cleaning up which ought
j to have been attended to in the spring
j and early summer, and activity from
j now on should be directed for the
j most part ito keeping the Hies out of
the house, away from the food, away
Trom the baby amd away from one’s
self. Almost every one now knows
something of the danger of the house
fly as a carrier of disease, but care
lessness and neglect may result as se
riously as ignorance, and have less ex
cuse. A vast number of people still
have no idea what a housefly looks
like under a powerful magnifying
glass. If they did, they would fear It
more than they do spiders and snakes,
and with more reason. Keep the flies
away from everything that is to be
used for food. Keep them away from
the mouth, and from .the hands, which
are habitually carried to the mouth.
THE CHILD
The most sacred thing In the com
monwealth and to the commonwwealth
is the child, whether It be your child
or the child of the dull faced mother
of the hovel. The child of the dull
faceed mother may, for all you, be
the most capable child In the state.
At its worst it capable of good
citizenship and a useful life If Its
intelligence be quickened and trained.
