it would be a distinction to be proud
of if Texas were the most sanitary
state in the Union and we should be
proud if Southwest Texas were in bet
ter condition than any other section
of Texas.
If, as the state health officer sug-
gests, each man will clean his prem
Uses, each woman clean her house and
each officer clean his territory, mill
ions of disease germs will be de-
stroyed next Saturday, and the fires
which consume the accumulated trash
will send up an incense to the god of
health which will secure mis- blessings
upon the people. Certainly each house
holder in Texas should be willing to
devote one day each year to so adj
mirable cause, and if there are those
who have not sufficient interest in the
health of their families and of their
neighbors to do this much willingly,
then they should be made to do so.
Public health is too important con-
sideration to be treated lightly.-San
