A CARD ON THE
DANDER OF FLIES
A Constant Reader Writes Telling
ol the Dangers and the Reme
dies ol the Common House Fly.
Mr. Editor:
I have noted with real interest
the warnings that have appeared re
cently in your columns concerning
the danger of the common house
fly. Those warnings are needed
and I hope you will keep them up
until the people heed them
Flies are a genuine danger to
health, not simply an inconven
ience. Physicians tell us that the
common house fly is a great propa
gator of disease. In fact, its new
name is the “typhoid fly.” It is
the great distributor of typhoid
germs. This fly is born in filth
and is the common carrier of filth
and disease germs and should be
driven from our homes, especially
from our kitchens and, tables. Food
on which these germ laden pests
crawl should not be eaten. People
should screen their homes, espec
ially their kitchens and dining
rooms.
The city of Atlanta has just pass
ed a “Fly Ordinance,” the limit
for the violation of which is a fine
of not more than $100 and a city
prison sentence of not more than
thirty days. Recorder Broyles said
the other day, “this is a splendid
law and I intend to do my part to
wards its enforcement. It affords
great protection to the health of
the people. Flies ore more danger
ous than the most poisonous snakes,
lions, tigers or any other wild beast
or reptile, for the reason that they
carry death-dealing germs among
the unpspecting people and if we
can shut them out from food-stuffs
we have Accomplished a great
thing.”
As a, community, we are in dan
ger and it will be well if we take
the warning and act accordingly.
Fever has started in our midst un
usually early and there is danger of
it spreading. Our physicians are
taking every precaution to prevent
its spread and now it remains for
the people to do their part. A few
dollars spent for fly screens and
mosquito nets may save not simply
a medical biff, but a distressing case
of illness, much anxiety and per
haps a life. Keep on sounding the
alarm and may the people heed the
warning.
A Constant Reader.

Report of Medical Inspection
Of Grady Countv Schools
I have inspected 51 schools in
Grady county, 41 of which were
whites and 10 colored, with a total
attendance of 1,972. Of these chil
dren examined 825, or 41 8-10 per
cent, showed clinical evidence of
Hook Worm disease. There were
1,508 white children, of which
number 641 or 42 1-2 per cent
were suspects, and 464 colored chil
dren, of which number 184,
39 1-2 per cent. \Vere suspects.
I have found the sanitary con
ditions’of the county to be very
poor, many of the schools having
no privies at all "'and others with
onlv poorly constructed ones. And
as Hook Worm disease is spread
principally by soil pollution, one
infected person can, by careless
habits, pollute t)ie soil- around the
whole school grounds and infect the
whole school. At no school in the.
county did I find a properly con
structed privy, thereforee the need
of improving the sanitary condi
tions around the schools is urgent.
I have reported each suspect ex-,
amined in the county to the parents
of the child and advised that they
have a microscopical examination of-
their faces made’to determine defi
nitely .whether they have this dis
ease. This can be easily arranged
by advising with the local physv
