i The Truth About The House-Fly.
Much has been said and written
about the house-fly.
It is an old and not a very interest
ing subject.
The fly has been accused of spread
ing various diseases. What is the
truth about the matter? In a brief
way, I shall give what the best author
ities say:
Flies udoubtedly act as mechanical
carriers of various infections. Dr.
Rosenau, who is connected with the
medical department of Harvard Uni
versity, says that a single fly may
carry over four million bacteria upon
it; surface, and over twenty-five mil
lion in its intestinal tract.
Among the list of diseases of which
there is more or less evidence that the
infection may be conveyed by flies are:
Typhoid fever, diarrhea in infants,
diphtheria, dysentery, paliomyelitis,
hookworm disease and other less com
mon diseases.
The U. S. aijmy commission studied
the presence of typhoid fever in our
camps during the Spanish-American
war in the summer of 1898. They con
cluded that flies undoubtedly fly as
carriers of the infection. "Flies
swarm over infected fecal matter in
the pits and then deposit it and feed
upon the food prepared for the sold
lers at the mess tents. In some in
stances where lime had recently been
thrown over the contents of pits, flies

The scenes of the big mining plant

j Flies undoubtedly spread the infec
tion of typhoid fever, but the import
ance of the part they play in this re
gard varies considerably with circum
stances. In camps, unsewered towns
and overcrowded places in poor sani
tary condition the danger from flies
is considerable. In a well sewered
J city or where surroundings are kept
in sanitary condition, the danger is
much less. In any case, the danger
from flies is great enough without the
need of exaggeration. Their sup
pression fully justifies the effort.
The suppression of the fly is best ac
complished by striking at their breed
ing places. Their chief breeding places
are in horse manure and garbage. One
neglected stable will furnish a plague
of flies for an entire neighborhood.
In towns and cities stables should
be cleaned at least once a week. This
prevents the flies from reaching ma
turity, as the life cycle of the fly is
only about nine days.
.Garbage should be kept in fly-proof
receptacles and removed frequently,
especially in warm weather.
Proper screening is the next best
practice. There is no better invest
ment for the health and comfort of
any house than good screening. Es
pecially is this true of the witchen and
dining room.
This is the truth about the house
fly.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDEK.
BIG GULF MEET;
AnRAGTIBG MUCH
ITTIITIIII- IM
CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—With the West
ern Amateur Golf championship out of '
the way. attention of American golfers
today turns to the western open tourna ■ (
ment, the only other important golf
championship of the year in the United,
States, as the United States Golf as-J
scciation cancelled its tournaments on '
account of the war. leaving Chick Ev- ,
ans to hold over his dual title. All.
the eastern professionals and several (
leading amateurs, according to Tom
McNamara, of New York, former cham
pion. will meet at the Westmoreland
club, Chicago, on Sept. 12 to 14 to con
test for the open title.
When Francis Ouimet, recognized as
an amateur by the Western Golf as I
sociation. captured the amateur title at
Midlothia recently following the de
cision of U. S. G. A. to abandon cham- (
pionship play, further attention was
called to the open meet planned by
the western body for September. This
e\ent has for several years been a na- J
tional affair, and the title was cap
tured last year by Walter Hagen of
Rochester at Milwaukee, with Jack
Hutchinson then of Pittsburg and
George Sargent of Minneapolis tied
for second place and James Barnes J
of Philadelphia colse behind. Thcj
title in 1915 was carried off by Tom'
McNamara, then of Boston, with Alex!
Cunningham of Wheeling, W. Va., in
second place and Sargent, Hagen and,
M. J. Brady of Boston, next in order
after the 72 hole contest at Glen Oak
club. Chicago.
The championship in 1914, played
at Interlaeken club Minneapolis, was 1
won by James Barnes of Philadelphia?
with William Kidd of St. Louis as'
runner-up. In 1913, John J. McDer
mott, famous eastern professional led
the field at Memphis, and in 1912,
MacDonald Smith, then at Del Monte,
Cal., topped the scores at Idlewild
club, Chicago.
The western open title has not
been won by a western Golf associa
tion territory player, except Smith
and Hutchinson, since it was made a
medal play affair five years ago, and
in all the tournaments 1 there has been
a larger representation of eastern
par golfers than of western of a sim
ilar rating.
There have not been as many
scratch amateur players entered,
however, as there have been in the
National Open meets, although Charl
es Evans, Jr., National Amateur and
Open champion, won the event in
1510 at Beverly club, Chicago, when
the play was at match. The premier
amateur of America, then only 20
years old, made low medal of 71 and
defeated George Simpson, Chicago
professional, in the final round 6 and
5. Evans competed at Glen Oak two
years ago, but was off his game and
did not make a showing.
While the event has been more
strictly a professional championship
than tho National Open meet, it is
likely that Ouimet will compete this
year. The Boston amateur, who won
the National Open title by defeating
Harry Vardon and Edward Ray in
1913, said he intended to play in the
coming Westermoreland tournament,
unless unforseen contingents prevent
! ed. He is reported to be among the
' first ones drawn in the selective draft
I lottery, and this may prevent his
I participation.
Evans, early in the season, decided
to devote his golfing activities this
year to playing for the benefit of the
Red Cross and similar war organiza
tions, but he may yet decide to enter.
Robert Gardner, twice National Ama
teur champion, has enlisted for war
service and will not compete. Tom
McNamara, as spokesman for many
eastern professionals, while attending
the amateur championship play at
Midolthian said:
“All the best eastern professionals
and, I believe, a goodly number of
amateurs, will be at Westmoreland
for the open tournament. Golfers in
the east are pleased with the stand of
the Western Golf association in stak
ing tournaments, feeling as President
Thompson of that body said, that golf
“keeps men perpetually and pleasant
ly prepared.” In addition. as entry
seek and ordinary cost of cups are
given to the Red Cross, the players
feel that they are doing their bit for
the country by playing in the meets
Cf course cash prizes are to be award
ed at the open championship, but like
ly these sums will be turned over
for war purposes by the winners; and,
in any event the leading golfers will
be carrying out President Wilson’s
idea that athletics should be kept up."
people were the result. It is about one
prospector in a thousand who has this
dream realized.
CUBA PLANNING
TO CO-OPERATE
FOLLY WITH U.S.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11. —Immediate
steps by the Cuban Government to
co-operate more closely with the
United States food administration
during the war will be discussed in
Washington early next week at a con
ference between Captain George Reno,
o the Cuban Department of Agricul
ture, and Herbert C. Hoover, the
United States Food Administrator.
Captain Reno Wrings from Havana
data bearing on Cuba's ability to be
come more and more a self-supporting
nation, so far as the production of
foodstuffs’ is concerned, and to be less
or a dependent on other countries for
imports of diversified food materials.
During his stay in the United States
which will be an extended one, Cap- ■
tain Reno will discuss with other
Government officials closer co-ordina
tion between Cuba and the United
States in methods of maximum price
fixing. transportation of sugar and
other crops from Cuban ports to this
country and to other of the allied na
tions, and other preparations which
President Menocal of Cuba and his
advisors have long had under consid
eration.
I Vice-President Emilio Nunex of
I Cuba, who formerly headed the Cub
,an Department of Agriculture, has
■ worked out a plan in consultation
. with President Menocal and various
(Cuban economists, whereby next year’s
, production of diversified vegetables
.and livestock will, it is believed, re-
Iduce the importations of food supplies
and release considerable tonnage
I space for the transportation of the
( Cuban sugar crop and various war
' material required to carry out Cuba’s
j plans for making her soasts impregn
able to possible German attack.
“For many years,” said Captain
Reno, “Cuba has been known princi
pally for two principal crops—sugar
and tobacco. Accordingly, the im
ports into Cuba, of the standard
! foodstuff ,ssuch as fresh meats, po
i tatoes, vegetables and fats, have not
j shown any reduction in the face of
.the fact that Cuba’s material resourc
es from agriculture have practically
| doubled in the past few years. This
is a condition which the Cuban De
partment of Agriculture is now en
gaged in remedying, and I purpose to
gain from Mr. Hoover detailed sug
gestions as to how this work may be
carried on still more efficiently.”
Why, of Course.
