which may be enforced by law. The fol-
lowing will serve AS Il basis for such II
document. All the provisions need not
be obligatory.
In seaside or other summer resorts
which depend for their prosperity upon
public patronage, 1t is imperative that all
hotels and boarding houses should be
carefully examined as to their drainage.
and rigid rules as to their sanitary condi-
tion enforced If there is any rick of the
drinking water being polluted, it should
be analyzed at the beginning of every
season. garbage should be removed sys-
tematically, no swill closets should be
permitted, and outhouses or earth closets
should be kept clean and sweet. This is
"A matter of mutual interest, aud should
not be considered arbitrary or iuterfer-
ring.
Diaries or other receptacles for food
should always he kept free from any
any source of contamination, as all food
is specially subject to taiut. II is not de
slrable to have such places in cellars or
under ground, unless carefully protected
from ground air or damp. Neither should
they be located near stables or outhouses.
SO many cases of sickness have been con-
yeyed by milk that too much care cannot
be taken to have dairles remote from all
sources Of contamination. The Shakers
set an admirable example in tins respect,
and their COW stables are kept WONDER
fully neat and clean. All milk dealers
and dairles should be licensed and subject
to inspection of the premises.
Cisterns should be covered to exclude
dust and cleaned out frequently. In hot

IL that case they must be carefully guard
ed from pollution. Turbid water should
be allowed to settle, and will clear itself
more quickly if n teaspoorful of alum is
added to each ten gallons Boiling water
before drinking is sure safeguard against
impurities. There is no test for the puri-
ty of water, as the most sparkling fluid
may be full of sewage. Most filters are
useless, If not harmful, as they soon be-
come full of matter, which, Ill itself, may
be II source of corruption.
Earth closets have tmied unless with
the most careful supervision. The great
est objection to them isthat they allow IT,
fuse matter which is not perfectly harm
less to be kept III or near dwellings,, and
, hence they should always be placed out
of doors If possible. To remove kitche-
waste, provide grease trap on the kltch-
en- sink and allow the fluid to discharge
