Let ID Better Our Sanitary
Conditions.

is a great work going on, being push
ed BY state and county health offices
for bettering the sanitary conditions
Of our towns, villages and rural dis
trlcts. Therefore, feel it my duty
as county health officer to say few
words to the people of my town and
county along the line of sanitation.
| ! will begin at home Selmer. We
have nice little town with lots of
nice clean people; all full Of pride,
trying to keep up respectable APP
pearance, which is right and as it
should be. Can we say as much of
the town, it's streete and alleys? In
my opinion we can not say as much
for some of the streets and alleys of
our little city as We can for the in
habitants.
| A home can be no cleaner, no more
sanitary than the individuals who 90
| to make up that home; neither can a
town be any cleaner nor any more
sanitary than the people who make
up town.
| The yards and lawns of the individ-
dal homes of Selmer, as a rule, are
clean. We rarely ever see the back
yard the place where the germs of
disease are 30 often bred. In fact, |
have seen some back-yards that might
be truthfully called hot-beds for the
propagation Of germs of any kind.
But it can be said to the credit of the
COOL women of our town land | am
sure OF every town in the the county,
that all front yards and most all back
yards are kept clean. AS rule men
depend on the women 20 keep the
home clean, to at least control affairs
along that line. The men are sup
posed to keep the town clean. The
women should expect and demand it..
That there is room for considerable
improvement in the sanitary conditions
of some of our streets and alleys, !
think most all will agree, or would
readily agree after an investigation.
Preventive medicine is the slogan Of
the medical profession, 1t is making
great and rapid advancement, and on
its success depends, largely, the
health and prosperity of the people,
but the doctors cannot do it all; they
must have the aid and cooperation
of the people. 1t is an undisputed
fact that most diseases are prevent
able. That being so, we should all
take more interest in sanitary con-
ditions of our homes and towns. We
have always heard it said that an
ounce of prevention was worth a
pound of cure. | think it more than
true when applied to the prevention
of disease Especially since medicine
has gotten so high
| want to say to the people of Sell
mer that we should get move on US,
Investigate the conditions of the town
and clean up. Last spring we had a
cleanup day; this spring we need a
cleanup week, for | am sure we could
not do what should be done in day.
What | have said to the people Of
Selmer | would say to the people of
every town in the county, clean up
and keep clean. If We do all of this
we will greatly aid in the fight against
disease and premature death.
In conclusion, ! would say to one
and all, that | am ready, at any time,
to give any assistance in my power on
the subject. Respectfully,
R. M. KENDRIcK, M. d..
County Health Officer.
