HOUSE CLEANING
OFFICIALLY NOTICED
State Board of Health Urges the PEG
Pile to Clean Up this
Spring.

The following admonition regarding
the care of premises by householders
has been issued by the Iowa state
board of health, and observance of the
means pointed out to lessen the dan
ger of disease and illness is urged by
the authorities quoted:
Now that spring is here, a word OF
advice will be timely and we'll receive
ed 1t is necessary that we be remind
ed of the Importance of a thorough
renovation of our dwelling houses and
their environments 1t is not enough
to clean the house alone. All out
buildings and yards should be careful
lly cleaned as we'll Fumigation should
be thorough and general Trees should
be cut away If standing too close to
our dwellings,, and groves should be
trimmed out ii the trees are too thick
to permit abundant circulation of air
and good distribution of sunlight
throughout the grove.
"All rubbish and garbage should be
removed from around houses and
barns. Cesspools should be removed
and water closets made inaccessible to
flies and absolutely removed from pos
sible contamination of wells or water
supplies. Manure and garbage should
be hauled away from barns and out
buildings, and if there have been any
infectious or contagious diseases
among the stock on the farms,
barns should be fumigated and yards
plowed up and opened to the sunlight
and air.
Remember that sunlight and fresh
air are the greatest germ killers
known to mankind, and that houses,
barns outbuildings and living abodes
should be screened early, and gener-
al warfare should be declared on the
common house fly and mosquito. Both
may transmit disease. especially the
fly, as its vacuum cupped feet are
ideal germ carriers.
Let the sunlight and fresh air into
your house; remove all distractions of
those life-giving elements out of the
way, and by observing the proper laws
of nature you will have health and
happiness"
