Cleanliness

Many diseases cause injection
of the sputum or spital. When
this infected sputum is deposited
where it may evaporate, dry
and turn to DUST, the little par
ticles of dust contain the germs
of the disease in question. This
dust is carried about from place
to place in the house by cur
rents of air and may serve to
infect those who breathe it. The
mumps, scarlet fever, diphtherla,
diseases spread thru the sput-
cerebro-mcDingitis, infantile par
alysis, influenza, tonsilitis and
others.
When speaking of cleanliness
lit should be understood that
this germ-laden dust Is the ull'
that is 10 re dreaded. Cleanli-
ness, then, means care III the
guarding o. bacteria and in pre-
venting the spread Of bacteria by
excreta. The ordinary dirt such
as the sol ashes, etc, which Is
brought into the house on the
feet or is blown in, is practically
harmless.
