most important problem in sani-
tation now confronting our citizens,
Let US have a cleanup week, begin
ming now, OF the accumulations Of
the winter waste and refuse.
During the winter this accum-
J ulation is not so serious, for decom-
posing matter and filth of all kinds
as a rule remains harmless owing TO
its frozen condition. AZ the suns
rays secome warmer decomposition
takes place, disease is spread and
they become breeding places for flies.
the most common and least feared
OF all pests. yet the most dangerous
of spreading disease. II II Is sys-
cleaned the city will be
more sanitary during the summer
months and there will be a marked
decrease of contagious diseases, es-
pecialy those spread by the fly and
caused by mosquitoes Many precious
lives can be saved and much sickness
and distress prevented.
The canal zone is an excellent A.
lustratson of what can be done by a
thorough cleanup. where the pre-
vailing diseases have been entirely
eliminated and typhoid fever greatly
reduced.
Start early to weed gardens and
vacant lots and the work OF keeping
them free during the summer will
be lessened.
Weeds are not only unsightly but
are breeding places for the mosquito.
Especially cans and bottles should
be carefully carted away as an ordi-
nary tomato can will hold sufficient
water to breed enough mosquitoes to
infect an entire city block. See that
the cellars are clean. A coat of white
wash Is inexpensive and viii kill
many insects. Do not throw rubbish
on vacant lots.
