77 BULLETIN 2S'. C. STATE BOARD OF HEALTH. How can Ave prevent this disagreeable repetition of events this summer? By preventing the fly, by screening our doors and windoAvs, particularly in our dining-rooms and kitchens, by insisting on pure food, fruits, etc., free from fly specks, and by the strict use of sewers where there are sewers and by the more general use of sanitary (fly-tight and water-tight) privies elsewhere. A VALUABLE IDEA. INVITES GUESTS, BUT NOT FLIES. Warren H. Booker, C.E., Assistant Secretary, Flies tax the ingeniuty of man to the utmost. It is folly to talk of exterminating them at this time. The best we can hope to do is to prevent the majority of them from ever being born and keep the rest of them from doing us much harm. Screened doors and windows are the greatest protection a house or food products store can have. But screened doors are not a hundred per cent efficient. This is particularly true where the doors are much used, as around groceries, market houses, fruit and conf act ionery stores, hotels and restaurants. Such places are usually a veritable Mecca for flies, and, with the doors frequently opened, flies dodge in in liberal numbers. To overcome just this condition of affairs an enterprising restaurant keeper has evolved a clever idea. He uses the very best kind of close - fitting screen doors, but to keep the flies from coming in when the door is opened he has attached a large wooden blade electric fan just outside and above the door, as shown in the accompanying illustration. The object of this fan is twofold. To some extent it blows the flies away from the door, but, according to the owner of the hotel, by far the greatest value of the fan is in frightening the flies away. It appears that small electric fans, while they really make a much stronger breeze across the screen, do not keep as many flies away as the sight of the large moving wooden blade fan. How one restaurant keeper invites guests, but not flies. A good suggestion for grocers, bakers, etc.
