belgian steamer Ehuroon, from an Amer
lean port for Rotterdam with provisions

they not be exercised all the time?
This is the big question to come out of the war.
If the federal government steps in to regulate

tributed it will wholly recede from that position
If of great wealth and men at the head of
corporations get out to help the plain people to

If the rich and poor; the churches; the schools,

CLEAN UP
YOUR TOWN
State Officials Issue Bulletin Suggest
ing a Special Day for General Com
munity House Cleaning

There will be a ready response to
the suggestion that each community
have a general cleanup day. There is
need for this in Moscow as elsewhere
and the plans are set forth well in
the following bulletin just received
from the state health officials:
This is the season which demands
special activity on the part of the
health organizations of the state as it
is the time to apply the ounce of pre-
vention where it will do the most
good
For years this department under the
direction of the state board of health
has invited attention to the dangers
Of flies, showing that they are re-
sponsible for a large proportion of the
deaths from typhoid fever intestinal
diseases of infants, etc., occurring in
Idaho, and urging the prosecution of
a constant warfare against them.
1t is impossible to effectively con-
troll flies by swatting, poisoning and
although all these measures
are useful; but it is entirely feasible
to practically exterminatel them by
them from breeding. For
tunately this can readily be accom-
plished, inasmuch as they can only
breed in filth and refuse, the thorough
destruction of which is all that is re-
Quired.
A systematic clean up campaign I'M
der the supervision of the local board
of health should be inaugurated in eve
ry town in the state.
The few flies that have survived the
winter will become the ancestors of
swarms unless there is
prompt action.
Especial attention should be given
tc the early proper disposition of sta
BILE manure as this material furnish
IS the breeding place for fully 80 per
cent of fees, the balance being hatch
ed in garbage, contents of vaults and
other forms of refuse and filth, which
also should be thoroughly disposed of.
A public cleanup day in each com
nunity is strongly urged, and it is
recommended that April 25th, 26th. |
