WHAT PEOPLE
Are SAYING
Cleanliness.

Prophylaxis in place, prophylaxis in
person should be our slogan, meaning,
literally, clean in place, clean in per-
son.
Now is the time to begin a crusade
against filth and trash of every kind.
The suggestion is made to the citizens
in each block as a committee to organ
ize, cooperate and proceed vigorously
as clean up club. Burn all combus-
tibles, get the non-combustibles into
pile on your alleys, then call c. W.
Bright, phone SS9, who will haul it
off at once.
1t would be good thing to invite
the state health officer and have him
inspect our town and pronounce it the
cleanest town he ever saw. 1t would
be splendid advertisement, for
clean town means healthy town, a
strong asset appealing to parents who
wish to educate their children there.
Think what a benefaction it would be
to Chickasha to add 100 new families
to her citizenship. This benefit could
not be estimated alone in dollars and
cents, but would bring a degree of cul-
ture and refinement that would chal-
lenge the admiration of the state.
This can be done. The taxpayers at
great expense have laid about eleven
miles of sanitary sewers for 10 other
purpose than to rid the town of filth
But notwithstanding this wise provis-
ion for cleaning the town there are
hundreds of unspeakably filthy and
horribly offensive toilets standing over
the sewers, unconnected.
Flies breed in filth Flies carry in
fection. For ages the common house
fly was regarded as a pest, nothing
more; a nuisance to be borne with
each recurring warm season, but
harmless, aside from the annoyance oe
its buzzing and it's habit of committing
suicide in food or depositing its eggs
and droggings therein.
By cultivating the filth from the
feet and and droppings of flies in
camps, the typhoid bacillis was dis
covered as well as the germs of chol-
era, cholera morbus, dysentery, tuber-
eulosis, and others.
In an epidemic of 20 cases of ty-
phoid fever, with death rate of 20
per cent, the source of infection was
found to be from an open, filthy privy |
vault. This was cleaned out and clos
ed up, after which no more cases &C
Cured.
When hogs get cholera a govern
ment expert is sent for, the hog own
ers organize at once in order to put
stop to the disease.
If an ordinary man, woman or child |
dies from contagious or infectious dis
ease, very little thought is given to the
source of infection or that others
might contract the disease NO cam
paign is started to destroy the source
Of contamination.
Some individuals are disease car
riers. Recently in Chicago there was
an outbreak of typhoid fever. A GER
tain milk station was suspected. Ex- 4
animation of this milk as delivered at
the station showed no infection. A
