WISE SANITATION.

The sanitary committee Of the city
council has recommended an ordinance
requiring that garbage and refuse must
be placed in suitably covered can, the
style OF the receptacle to be designated
by the health commissioner.
The non-sclentlfc observer can
scarcely appreciate the possibilities for
evil that Turk in garbage left exposed
to decay in the open air during the
heat Of midsummer.
Last summer typhoid fever was un-
usually prevalent here The medical
authorities believe that the exposure
of garbage may have caused the spread
Of the disease
Scientific Investigators are now CON
WINGED that the majority of typhoid fe-
yer cases can be traced to flies.
Experiments carried on by the federal
health authorities have shown that a
majority Of the cases of typhoid fever
commonly attributed to defective
| plumbing and impure water supply
really owe their origin to fly infection.
Professor L. o. Howard, entomologIst
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, says:
THE principal insect agent in the
spread of typhoid is the common house
ny Ten days complete generation
or house files In the summer. The num-
Der or eggs laid by each female dy
averages 100 Thus, under favorable
circumstances, the offspring of a single.
Overwhelming house fly may In the
course of a summer reach a figure al
most beyond belief"
Exposed filth and garbage are the
breeding places of this plague.
At the rate at which flies breed, a man

| commencement of season does a

always provided. of course, that
nothing interferes with each succeeding
| generations span of life. So the sud-
den taking off of any fly at the COM
mencement of a season means just so
many billions fewer flies at the end
of the summer.
Cholera. too Is diffused at short dis
tances by the common house fly. This
mas been proved beyond dispute by OBJ
servation in Paris, thus explaining why
cholera epidemcs diminish in the win
ter when fly life is practically arrested
by the cold. Professor Saverio Santori
of the meteorological laboratory of the
R1man commune has demonstrated
| that the fly causes the dissemination of
'lnfecttve intestinal maladies," partic-
ularly the summer gastro-enteritis of
children In its acute form.
We regard the measures adopted by
the board Of health as of the utmost
consequence, and urge the citizens to
aid the board in these undertakings to
| prevent the spread of disease.

in part to heat and prejudice. This
