COMMON HOUSEFLY CARRIER
OF GREAT MANY DISEASES
Millions of flies help to cause the
illness and death of thousands of
childrens and adults each year in the
united States. Hundreds of these cas-
ualties may be in the State of Texas
this year if residents fail in their re-
sponsibility for developing the best
possible sanitation measures in the
area where they reside. Typhoid fe-
ver, summer complaint, and other in-
testinal diseases can be traced to the
common housefly as the carrier of in-
fection.
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Of-
ficer, speaking in this connection re-
cently said, “Be sure that your win-
dows and doors are tightly screened
so that stray flies from a careless
neighbor will not endanger your
family. Be sure that flies are kept
away from food, drink, and utensils
used in the preparation of food. Make
sure, if you live in rural districts,
that outside privy vaults are tightly
covered so as not to permit the en-
trance of flies. Infections from this
source can*be picked up and spread
to human beings through contact
with food, drink, and utensils. Keep
all garbage covered until collected or
buried. Eliminate all breeding plac-
es for flies and you will be helping
your community in its work of con-
trolling communicable diseases and
preventing unnecessary illness.
Dr. Cox said that the State Health
Department would furnish upon re-
quest a pamphlet outlining safe and
practical methods recommended for
use in fly control.

In This Hour of
TRIUMPH
y. .
Behind us lie 3V2 years of deadly struggle
5n which, with God's help, we have
prevailed.
So, today, we celebrate a victory.
After the celebration, what lies ahead?
For most of us, the outlook is a bright
one. If we will simply use the brains, the
will, the energy, the enterprise... the
materials and resources .. .with which we
won our war, we can't fail to win the
peace and to make this the richest, hap-
piest land the world has known.
For most of us, the years ahead are
bright with promise. But for others of us
— and, ironically enough, their part in
bringing victory was a major one — the
years to come must bear a different look.
In America today are hundreds of thou-
sands of injured men. Men with neatly
pinned up sleeves and trousers. Blinded
men. Men with clever iron hooks instead
of hands. Worst of dl, men with hurt and
darkened minds.
These men need our help. Helping them
>■
will cost a great deal of money. We can
help them by buying Victory Bonds.
Far away from America today are
millions of Americans. As we would be,
they're on fire to get back—to their wives,
to the children some of them have never
seen, to their jobs.
These men need our help. Helping them
will cost a great deal of money. And we
can help them best by buying Victory
Bonds.
This is our day of triumph. But it’s theirs
too—the injured men, the men who are
still far away.
Let's not forget them, in our just rejoic-
ing. And the one way we can help most
to care for our wounded ... to bring our
veterans home ... to give them a fresh
start in the country they fought for ... to
care for the families of those who died
before the Victory was won ... is simply
this:
Buy all the Bonds you can. Keep all the
Bonds you buy.
