CLEAN UP PAnuCAH

An incipient controversy is on re.
garding the causes of yellow fever
There Is no occasion for 1t. especial
ly at this time. The malady is bad
enough, no matter what its causes.
Science in recent years has demon
strated that mosquitos-and possibly
flies and other insects-aid in dis
seminating yellow fever, Just as
effectually as it has demonstrated
that filth, bad drainage, the putrefac-
ton of animal matter and similar
things cause 1t. Insects do not cause
it; they merely spread IT, Hence
one of the first things to do, as shown
in Havanas experience, is to en-
force sanitary regulations and get
rid of mosquitoes.
From Louisville to Memphis even
the smaller towns are making vigor-
Gus efforts to clean up-all except
Paducah. In many of the villages
proclamations have been issued by
the authorities to clean up, cut grass
and weeds, fill up ponds of stagnant
water, pour oil on lakes and other
possible breeding places of mosqui-
tos and other insects, and strew dis.
infectants where they are needed.
We regret that nothing of the kind
has taken place here, although the
whole south is in hutter of fear
and excitement over a dreadful dis
ease which once killed thousands
and can do it again. 1t is we'll moi
TO cause needless alarm. But it Is
wise to be prepared for any emergen-
cy. The city authorities should
have the cutters cleaned. the alleys
inspected, and the city put in as clean
and sanitary a condition as possible
1t will at least do no harm
For the benefit of the general put
lie the following article from an ex-
change is printed, showing the places
among which are to be found the nu.
merous breeding holes of mosquitoes
and flies at nearly every home, and
which should at once be done away
with.
