Clean Up.

In view of the fact that Asiatic cholera may
make its appearance in America before winter
the Illinois State Board of Health ask of the
all nuisances may be removed. Especial at.
tention should be paid, it is urged, to
FirSt-The condition Of the water supply.
Second:-The disposition of night soil, gar.
bage and sewage.
Thrd:-The cleansing of streets, alleys and
other public places.
FOUth:-The supervision of food supplies,
and of market places, slaughter houses and
similar establishments.
FitM:-The general sanitation of every
house and its surroundings.
l. Water is one of the commonest me-
diums through which cholera spreads; but,
aside from this, typhoid and malarial fevers,
diarrhea, dyscntery and other diseases, are
caused by impure and polluted water. Hence
the necessity Of protecting the supply from
contamination by surface washings and drain
age Of filthy soil or premises, or by seepage
through the ground from privy vaults, cess
pools, etc.
2. Night soil, garbage, sewage, and all
other forms Of decomposng organic matter,
are highly prejudical to health, and their foul
odors are indications of danger. The various
methods for their proper disposal, so as to
and should be enforced according to the vary
ing conditions of each locality.
8. Clean streets and alleys, and cutters
properly drained and kept free from insight
ly and filthy accumulations, are Of even great
er Importance during the heat Of summer,
than at other times. The healthy condition
of the atmosphere of locality largely de-
ponds upon the condition of its thorylghfares
4. The rapid decomposition Of most arti.
cles Of food during hot weather-thc tainting,
souring, willing or rotting processes-and the
arrangements of the stomach and bowels
caused by the use of such food, indicate the
necessity for special supervision at this time,
of all food supplies, and of the places where
they are prepared, stored, or disposed Of
5. The foundation Of healthy living is, OBJ
viously, the individual home and its surround
ings. Houses, cellars, yards and out-build
ings should be carefully inspected, and all ac-
cumulations Of garbage, refuse and filth of ev-
cry description should be removed, or, where
this is not practicable, they should Be rem
dered harmless by appropriate treatment; No
house or premises can be healthy without
proper drainage. If this is not secured by
sewers or underground drains, then recourse
should be had to surface drains, so as to pre-
vent the possibility of stagnant water under
the dwelling or in its vicinity. Cellars should
be dry, clean and well ventilated, so that they
may not generate foul air to be drawn up
through the house.

The glass blowers know how to entertain a

ceipts were liberal, the expenses ate them up.

1t is one of the glorious privileges Of the
newspaper of a town to foster one or other
sides Of all the squabbles of public or pri-
vate nature. They are rather expected to
do so. If mans COW gets out of pasture
and runs the streets, it is the newspaper
business to raise row, impound. the beast
or "make it so hotn for the police that they'll
graciously fall to- and hunt her up. If
John Jones gives John Smith black eye,
Smith was right or rice versa. If a saloon
remains open all night to accommodate
party of rOisterers whether official or mere
civilians, the public expect the newspaper to
arrest the guilty parties and bring them to
justice. And so on through the whole cate
CORY of public and private sins and INSIDE
meanors. Now we don't believe in that sort
of thing. This city hires police for certain
duties. II they don't do them, it is the
councils business to see that they do. They
are the men paid for doing disagreeable
things of that kind, and as one Of the pub
lie we will so far as we are concerned expec
them to do it and not shove work they don
like to do over to our shoulders. There is
some reason for believing they are trying to
do it now. If they have not sufficient back
bone to perform their duties let the city hire
some one who has; and not pay the police as
ornaments while civilians have to do their
dirty work
