FOR A CITY WITHOUT FLIES
"Head 'Em Off" Campaign In Early Spring Better
Than "Swat the Fly" In Summer
WIILARD D. PRICE .
Exclusive Service The
;Mr.lFlT, Undesirable Citizen, official
distributor of typhoid, cholera infan
tum, dysentery, tuberculosis, spinal
-senlngitis, is having the fight of his
ife in Cleveland. The city has gone
"Swat the fly" one better and carried
through an early spring neau em
off" campaign with results that are
nothing less than sensational.
Cleveland has already been pro
claimed a "IWess city." It is hardly
that yet. But thousands of house
holders have found it possible to dis
pense entirely with screens at doors
and windows and a lone fly creates
'more excitement now than a swarm of
files would have & few years ago. In
a recent inspection of the city mar
kets where quantities of meata and
provisions are exposed, only two flies
were found.
Two', years ago there
were myriads.
The "Head 'em off campaign was
tried last year with such good effect
that this year, with improved methods
and a notable marshalling of forces,
the war was a still greater success.
The present attitude of the . com
munity is pretty well expressed in this
sentence from a' letter by Mayor Ba
ker to the city council: "The anti-fly
campaign is a movement of more Car
reaching importance, and more prom
ising of prolonged life and freedom
from disease than perhaps any other
single activity going forward in the
community." From the beginning
the movement has been under the
leadership of Dr. Jean Dawson, Pro
fessor of Civic Biology at the Normal
School.
The big emphasis has been on the
elimination of breeding places. To be
sure,, hundreds ofSthousands of flies
have been "swatted" ; " but . countless
millions have been prevented, which
is better. Miss Dawson began with
the claim that ninety per cent, of
; houseflies come from unclean stables.
Owners throughout -the city were f oijc
', ed to clean up their stables and keep
them clean. Public opinion f ocussed
' sentiment, the Board of Health pass
ed rules and the "Junior sanitary po
lice'" saw that they were enforced.
The "Junior sanitary police" are
boys recruited from the sixth, sev
enth and, eighth grades of the city
schools. In each school district the
force is officered by a chief, an assist
ant chief and "four inspectors. The
principal of the school appoints the
ntlr fnrrp Npfdipsfl. to sav. it is
considered no small honor to be ap
pointed a member of the "junior sani
tary police." -The official badse la
prized highly. The girls have a part
too, some of them being made sani
tary eias." .
The school district is sectioned off
And . each member of the foroo made
responsible for one section. He must
rh&Re regular inspections.. "When he
Qnds a dirty -stable, a, rubbislv-fllled
hack yard, a heap bf fermenting laWn
clipptngs or a leaking garbage recep
tacle he has, of course, no power.' tq
compel the owners to clean, up; but in
nine cases out of ten he can persuade
them to do -so. And the children
ere proving spienaia eaucaiors.
and then persuasion fails and the
abuse , is uncorrected. Then the case
is referred to a boy inspector and la
ter to the boy chief. If the courteous
efforts 'of these high, officials also
prove unavailing," the report goes to
the Board of Health and a threat of a
suit brings the offender sharply to
time. He discovers that the- alert
consciousness of a whole city is back
of these badged children.
- The schools were further utilized as
distributing stations for fly pam
, phleta and circulars.' Each bit of
'educative literature as it came out
was placed in the hands of every child
in the sthools of Cleveland and thence
carried into the homes.
The striking fact about all this cam
paign was that it was waged not dur
ing the fly-season, but before it! Dur
ing a Clustering March and a wild,
weeping April, while flies were as
ecarce is straw hats, the battle -was
at its height. . It was directed against
the "winter flies" the few which had
survived the cold season and would
soon begin laying eggs.
The reason for these tactics was set
forth i a "fly-catechism" issued by
Miss Dawson. One question and its
answer read:
- "How many flies may breed from a
pair in sjring?"
"Allowing six batches of eggs,, of
150 each, supposing all to live and
find filth-' to breed in, the number
would b- 191,010,000,000,000,000,000.
enough t bury the entire earth 47 feet
deep. VThy not kill the fly in the win
ter or eirly spring?"
Even if the :. actual progeny , of a
fly does not nearly approach the pos
sibilities it is apparent that the kill
ing of ne sluggish winter fly means
the prevention of thousands of sum
mer infesting insects. .
An enterprising ice cream company
contributed 200,000 "swatters" and all
the school children of the city, wheth
er they were members of the "Junior
sanitary police" or not, were armed.
A bounty of ten cents a hundred was
offered, for all flies brought to Miss
Dawson's office at the City Hall. The
campaign was financed by popular
subscription. At first there was com
plaint that no flies could be found
- but sharp eyes soon sought them out
in attic windows, barn lofts and odd
out-of-the-way corners, -and ' they be-
gan to pour in at headquarters at the
rate of 10,000 a day.
Clergymen" were urged to preach
"fly sermons" and many responded. A
picture film, "The Life of the Fly,"
was used to good effect in many
churches and theatres. . In addition
to "Head 'em off" and "Swat the fly"
a triple logan raa "Clean your yard
Make a garden Swat the fly," and in
many a back yard gardens began to
blossom ' where fly-breeding rubbish
heaps had been.
Wnen the winter campaign closed
May fifteenth, 490,833 flies had been
accepted and paid for and this be
fore the beginning of the , "season'
and in a city which had suffered very
little annoyance from flies during the
preceding summer, thanks to the anti
fly campaign then In progress.
Ton have brought about a. famine
in flies," lamented one man who had
six chameleons to feed. "My pets are
starving. There are no flies to be had
about my. house and my 'neighbors
can't seem to help me out. I'll pay
and pay well for every live fly your
children can bring me." And he did.
at the best fruits of the move-
Survey Press Bureau)
ment has been a public demand for
fly-free stores. Merchants have made
quick to sense the demand. Recent
ly one hundred Normal School girls
inspected 511 grocery stores, confec
tionaries, meat stores, restaurants and
milk depots. They reported-that in
60 per cent. o the stores not a soli
tary fly could be found, 'in only 36 per
cent." were flies at all numerous!
The early spring "Head 'em oft"
campaign is a remarkable success.
Over one hundred towns and cities
have written , for information con
cerning the methods used in Cleve
land. The coming year will doubt
less see the plan in operation in many
municipalities.. The more commonly
it is adopted, the worse luck to Mr.
Fly and all the diseases of which h
is the herald.

Own Stories Here Told.
Beatrice, Neb. "Just after my mar
riage my left side began to pain me and
the pain got so severe at times that I
suffered terribly with it.. I visited three
doctors and each one wanted to operate
on me but I would not consent to an op
eration. I heard of the good Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
doing for others and I used several bot
tles of it with the result that I haven't
been bothered with my Bide since then.

girls." Mrs. R.B. Child, Beatrice, teb.
The Other Case.
Cary, Maine. " I feel it a duty I owe
to all suffering women to tell what Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did
for me. One year ago I found myself a
terrible sufferer. I had pains in both
sides and such a soreness I could scarcely
straighten up at times. My back ached,
I had no appetite and was so nervous I
could not sleep, then I would be so tired
mornings that I could scarcely get
around. It seemed almost impossible
to move or do a - bit of work and , I
thought I never would be any better
until I submitted to an operation, but
my husband thought I had better write
to you and I did so, stating my symp
toms. I commenced taking Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
soon felt like a new woman. I had no
pains, slept well, had good appetite and
could do almost all my' own work for a
family of four. I shall always feel that
I owe my good health to your Vegetable
Compound." Mrs. Haywabd Sowers,
