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. School Improvement Club The School Improvement Club will meet - at the school house Fri dar afternoon of this week' at o, clock. • ' MRS. R. C. Bell, Pres. Mrs. W, H. Robinson, Sec 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 'We've just received our new “ Queen Quality" styles for Spring and they're beauties.
