The summer season and its accom-.
panying hot weather presents three
all-important sanitary problems gar
bage and rubbish disposal and fly swat.
ting. a.,
Two of them depend, for solution,
upon one thing cleanliness. If every
housewife will keep the home and its
surroundings thoroughly clean; rub:
bish will cease to exist and the 18th.
rate of flies will be cut to an almost
negligible quantity. y.
Garbage disposal is almost equally
depend nt upon cleanliness, in another
form. "Order" is perhaps a better
word. Much depends upon the house:
holders methods.
Z If garbage is drained and wrapped
in paper before it is deposited in the
garbage can, then there will be little
garbage nuisance and lower death
rate. The draining and wrapping pro
cess is all-important.
These three problems should be
thoroughly understood by everybody.
