A SANITARY CRUSADE.
The ordinance committee of the city
council of Waco. at the next meeting
of that body will report an ordinance
against dropping fruit parings in the
streets and committing other offenses
against health. This ordinance was
written in response to a petition to the
city council signed by committee of
women appointed to present the petit
ton on the part of the city federation
of women'S club of Waco. The petit
ton before the council is as follows:
In addition to existing ordinances
We respectfully urge the adoption and
enforcement of such others as will pre-
vent the promiscuous splitting upon our
sidewalks and streets and the throw
ing of fruit peels thereon. Such ordi-
nances are to be found among the sani-
tary laws of many of our largest, most
populous and progressive cities, and
are conducive both to the health of the
community and the comfort of the
travelling public. Sand boxes to be used
as cuspidors should be provided by the
city and placed at convenient points on
the said walks. Barrels or boxes should
likewise be placed as receptacles for
fruit peels and other trash which may
he case away by the travelling public.
THE most deadly germs that affect
the human family are often conveyed
through the habit of expectorating on
the streets. These germs, ground into
fine dust. are caught up by the shifting
winds and blown into the houses and
homes of adjacent property owners and
into the nostrilS and lungs of the trav-
cling public. Proper sanitary laws can
remedy this nuisance or at least re-
duce the evil to the lowest minimum"
