The IIealtii Bulletin 11 language, it came from swallowing the excrement of other people, and they (lid not think it was nice. Besides, it was so unnecessary. They actually insisted on the strictest enforcement of the sanitary regulations (which Bum-town had adopted word for word) and, besides, they all took the antityphoid vaccination every few years. They insisted on this for all who handled food, raw or cooked food, in public or in private houses. Any one who had typhoid in Goodtown brought it with him; in fact, this is what worried Goodtown. Being a delightful, healthy town, it attracted many visitors from the best people in many of the finest cities of the State, and soon after arriving, some of them had typhoid. They blamed Goodtown. Goodtown loathed them and doubted their intelligence, their Christianity, and their patriotism. They nursed them carefully and pulled most of them through. Some of them died, and for these they wrote nice obituaries and tried to respect their memories. The city government of Goodtown had no easy time. They had to fight some of the oldest citizens, but they well knew that that w^as w^hat they were elected for, and that failure to enforce the law strictly on every one would surely prevent their reelection. The press fearlessly told the whole truth about health conditions and violations of law. The pulpit joined with the press in preaching that any one was a fool who did not look out for the health of others for his own sake, and no Christian if he did not do so for the sake of others. Hence, every one felt a conscientious responsibility for the life and health of every one else, everybody loved everybody, and the life insurance companies just loved the town. Which town would you prefer to live in? Like which town are yon trying to make your town? RECIPES FOR KILLING FLIES The United States Government makes the following suggestion for the destruction of house flies: Formaldehyde and sodium salicylate are the tw^o best fly poisons. Both are superior to arsenic. They have their advantages for household use. They are not a poison to children, they are convenient to handle, their dilutions are simple and they attract the flies. Preparation of Solutions A formaldehyde solution of approximately the correct strength may be made by adding three teaspoonfuls of the concentrated formaldehyde solution, commercially known as formalin, to a pint of water. Similarly, the proper concentration of sodium salicylate may be obtained by dissolving three teaspoonfuls of the pure chemical (a powder) to a pint of water. A container such as shown above has been found convenient for automatically keeping the solution always available for flies to drink. An ordinary, thin-walled drinking glass is filled or partially filled with the solution. A saucer, or small plate, in which is placed a piece of WHITE blotting paper cut the size of the dish, is put bottom up over the glass. The whole is then quickly inverted, a match placed under the edge of the glass, and the container is ready for use. As the solution dries out of the saucer the
