HINT FOR AIEXANDRANS
Weeds Believed to Cause Much Sick
ness During the Summer And
Early EaL

The Health Department OF NOT
folk has ordered all of the owners OF
vacant lots in the city to have the
weeds cut down.
The Gazette has often called atten-
ton to the Importance OF the ellml-
nation of weeds during the summer
and at this time, following clean
up days in this city, it is suggested
that a war upon weeds should De
started at once. These menaces to
public health are allowed to multi
plv year after year and spread until
in some quarters of the city it is
necessary to adopt the tactics OF
Davv Crockett and cut ones way
through in order to reach some dwell
lings.
Many thrive in many vacant lots
in Alexandria, and at the end OF
summer fields of noyious groWhs
can be seen. The cost Of eXtirpatlng
these eyesores would not be great.
Typhoid fever RACES more or less
every year, ard anything which will
in any way tend to minimize the
number of such cases should be re-
sorted to at once.
About twenty years ago the au-
thorities of Alexandria started a
crusade against weeds. In most cases
the parties notified acted Immediate
ly and ceard their premises CT the
poisonous growths. Others, how
ever, demurred, as is generally the
case when sanitary measures are
started. When the interests of the
community are involved, all should
! work with will toward making the
city sanitary.
