Not for long has a movement I
l>een inaugurated that will more J
commend itselt to a thoughtful j
public than the crusade just begun |
anew with the coming on of spring |
against insect pests, particularly j
house flies and mosquitoes. It
has now been shown beyond reu-|
sonable question that yellow fever ;
and malaria are propagated among
human beings by the bites of cer- ;
tain mosquitoes. The mischief:
done by the house fly has not been I
so absolutely identified; but that |
lie is a frequent carrier of disease, j
especially of those germ diseases i
which attack the a 1 imentary cana 1,
is beyond question. He is a born
scavenger, with a fondness for
creeping over and feeding upon
refuse of all degrees of badhess. j
His person, his dress, especially'
his numerous feet, are never above :
suspicion, and he has so often been j
caught distributing the deadliest!
kind of germs, such as those ot j
typhoid fever and cholera, forex- 1
ample, that he has about forfeited j
his right to appear in respectably j
society. From his birth in a dung-1
hill to his’death in the soup ket
tle of some careless cook he is un
clean, unwholesome, undesirable. ,
How many innocent babies give
up their lives to him every sum
mer, while parents and boards of
health charge it up to the water
service or the dairyman, will never
be known.
Hitherto flies and mosquitoes
have been looked upon as an
noyances, posts; now we must be
gan to consider them menaces to
iife and health as well as to com
fort. Typhoid fever, which ranks
next to consumption as a white
plague, is a filth disease. Malaria,
GIU3ENS TO ANSWER ON
CHARGE OPENING MAIL
Valdosta, Ga., May 2.—Aaron
Guldens, the young rural mail car
rier who opened a letter addressed
to J. F. Flanders at Kirkland, Ga.,
took a sl2 check from it will have
to explain his conduct to Judge
Speer in the United States court.
Guldens claims that he acted un
der instructions from Flanders,
who died hefor the letter came..
He said that Flanders owed him
and agreed for him to take the
check, which was expected from a
stock claim agent for killing a cow
by the railroad train.
Mrs. Flanders was the leading
witness against Guldens in the
preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Powell yes
jterdav evening. She said that she
made the settlement with the claim
agent herself after her husband
died, that the cow that was killed
belonged to a little boy and not to
her or her husband, and that hep
husband could not have authorized
Giddens to open the letter and
take flu* check. Giddens’ brother,
who was postmaster at Kirkland,
testified to having heard the con
versation between Flanders and
the accused and that Flanders told
him to open the letter and take
the check
Mr. Giddens belongs to a well
known and influential family,and
his arrest occasioned much sur
prise. His bond was fixed at $l5O
for. his appearance before Judge
Speer.

I which shakes the bones and swells
the liver of so many Americans
j evey year, could be eliminated if
! effective war were made on tnosqui
j toes. Even the bubonic plague is
: conveyed by fleas which have been
j given hospitality by their fellow
j nuisances, rats. It is a matter of
! health, therefore, as well as of
comfort, for us to clean up. These
! wretched insects must go, after the
i manner of that nameless terror
iof the nighttime which vexed the
j slumbers of our forefathers, or of
I those coarse skin parasites which
!once disfigured their persons.
How shall this be managed? It
is precisely to teach ways and
means that both the Federal and
State officials are inaugurating
j their new crusade. How to pre
i vent the breeding of flies and
| mosquitoes, how to protect dwel-1
i lings from their invasion, the im-
I portance of covering food at all
j stages from the contact of flies—
i these are some of t he things which
[the American public needs to
j learn. Those who have once ox
| perienced the comfort of living
without the company of flies will
scarcely need the added induce
ment of protecting their health to
! make them solicitous about the
screening of windows and doors,
about open drains, foul alleyways, |
stable yards, etc. The success
with which war can he waged
against mosquitoes was demon
strated in yellow fever times. Let j
us not wait for the urgency of un
other such epidemic, but take up
the war at once and follow it up
without ceasing. Some instruc
tion in our public schools in re
gards to this line of things might
be of great value.
