 WHAT WE HAVE DONE ABOUT
 THE FLY IN CONWAY.
 Ordinance No. 159 is of tremendous Several sections are practically dead letters and they OUGHT TO BE THE MOST RIGID LY ENFORCED. OUR HEALTH DEMANDS TT. This is the ordi- nance on the construction, cleansing and disinfection of privies. It pro- vides that the box shall be Is inches broad, 12 inches deep and the length of the seat and shall have a properly constructed hinge door to close behind the box. Fine for violation not to exceed $15, and each day is a separate offense. I shall make my comments on each section after stating the con- tents. It does not require a close ob- server to see that many of the boxes over town are not of the right dimen- sions, some have an end out, in case or two not in position at all, and many with no hinpa door to fall into position behind the box. Any doctor will tell you that neglect of this pro- vision is one of the surest ways to start an epidemic of typhoid if one case is not looked after properly.
 Further provisions of this ordi- nance will be noticed in the succeeding articles.
