OFFICES MUST BE CLEAN.
President Roosevelt Issues Order for
Cleanliness in All Federal
Buildings.

President Roosevelt's recent order
issued to all the heads of the govern
ment regarding cleanliness in the Of
fees Of all federal departments, and
especially urging the greatest care in
cases of tuberculosis, is now being car
ried out in the various departments.
The postmaster general has issued in
structions to all post offices in the
United States, following up President
Roosevelt's order. Postmaster Rob
erts, in Brooklyn, among others, re-
ceived the general order and at once
began to carry out all the provisions.
I'VE have received such an order"
said Assistant Postmaster Newcomb,
and 1t is one of the best orders ever
promulgated. Cleanliness is always
essential in any department, but more
so in the postal service. We have al
ways tried to carry out this idea in
this Office. So far as cleanliness is con-
cerned, it is not a new order, but that
part of the order referring to tubercu-
losis is new, and is very Important In
this respect, splitting on the floors is
prohibited, and anyone in the service
who is a sufferer from tuberculosis is
to be isolated from the rest of the en-
ployes, and they are prohibited from
using the same towels or soap as used
by other employees.
"The mail sacks, which come from
all parts of the world, are handled by
many clerks. We d~isinfect these sacks
and do everything possible to keep
the mail in the very best of condition.
not only as a safeguard for the m
,ployes, but for the people who event
ually receive the mail matter"
Are any of the employees in the
post office suffering from tuberculo-
sis?" Mr.. Newcomb was asked.
THAT is a question / would not care
to answer" said Mr.. 4,ewcomb. but I
can say that any who are under sus-
picion will be isolated, as requested by
the order"
Have any been isolated as YETI"
was asked.
Several" was the response.
