Free—Fly Swatters—Free THE FLY MUST GO "Swat the Fly, For He Must Die," is the slogan. In line with the Fly Crusade being waged by the Civic Club of this city, Bowman & Company for public welfare, will give FREE thousands of Fly Swatters. All you have to do is to come in and ASK FOR ONE. Some facts about the fly— THEY ARE A SOURCE OF CONTAGION They light in all sorts of filth to feed, carry all kinds of filth and disease-breeding germs on their feet and mouth. 250 Americans soldiers were killed by bullets during the Spanish-American war. 5,000 were killed by infectious diseases, germs conveyed by flies. There are 8,000 known species in North America. Appropriately called "Musca Domestica." , i 4 j Has complete circulatory system. Lays 150 eggs at a time. Is musical, wings vibrate 330 times in a second; the buzz of the house fly is in Key of "F." One fly from Tuberculous Sputum or Typhoid Ejecta will start a culture of 582,000 Bacteria of one species. If one fly lays 150' eggs and 75 are fertile there would be i 11,250, multiplied by 75 there would be 843,750 would be 63,281,- i 250 would be 4,736,093,750 would be 355,207,071,250 would be 26,640,507,343,750 would be 2,008,048,050,881,250 would be 150,- 4 603,604,716,093,750 would be 11,295,273,353,711,031,250 would be 4 857,145,501,528.327,343,750 would be 64,385,912,614,624,200,781,- J 250 would be 4,838,946,446.097,815,058,593,750. ■ Suppose we have the 8,000 species in Harrisburg by June 10 1 there would be 38,711,571.586,797,520,468,750,000,000, enough to j turn Pharaoh green with envy. Help exterminate the fly. Get busy! Get your swatter! Swat! 3
