CLEANUP AND
KEEP CLEAN

Madison, Wis, April 11-Favoring
every precautionary measure known
to lessen the menace of infantile pa
ralysis in Wisconsin, the state board
of health has voted to urge all NUM-
cipalities in the state to institute a
thorough, systematic spring cleanup.
With present knowledge of infantile
paralysis, absolute cleanliness in the
matter of food, habits and environ
ments is considered the best prevent
i've in scourge like that which reaped
a heavy toll Of life in many states last
summer.
Experience has shown that what
ever protects against such communi-
scable diseases as measles, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough also
protects against poliomyolitis. Com
municable diseases, therefore, should
be gotten rid of before summer, and
children's health so built up as to re-
sist disease as far as possible during
warm weather.
The injunction to Wisconsin cities
and towns is to clean up and keep
clean to prevent flies and mosquitoes
from breeding, to supervise food regu-
larly, especially milk, to remove rub
bish and dirt from home surroundings.
and to observe Baby Week i'll a prac-
teal way.
However, the board adds, spasmodic
efforts at cleanliness are not enough.
A campaign which induces people to
clean up and keep clean all the year
and which goes after the flies and their
breeding spots is considered themost
effective from health point Of view.
To some, flies do not look as bad as
rubbish and other filth, but these are
persons who do not know where flies
breed, what they eat and the number
and variety Of disease germs they car
ry on their feet. This is the kind of
filth at which the cleanup campaign
is especially aimed.
The board has also considered a.
mendments to the rules for the quar-
antine and control of scarlet fever, but
took no formal action.
