country as whole; that infant NOR

Putnam'S Health Plan
CONTINUED from Page Onel

That some radical change Is needed
is indicated by the results Of examina.
tions.
We have gathered from whnt Mr..
Dodd says that the dairymen Ms a
whdle are interested IN putting out
clean product, also thai they nre pro.
daeing milk ut very small margin Of
| profit and In some cases ri an actual
loss. In fact he says Tint n number
are trying to sell their stock and go
out Of business.
The per capita consumption of milk
is already low in Putnam, only one
half pint per person, ard in view Of
the present high cost OF other foods
and the relative food value Of milk ms
compared with more expensive arti.
Giles IL would seem that active steps
should be taken to both improve the
general quality of the supply and TO
increase the per capita consumption.
This latter point should be made the
subject of campaign of education. As
to the former matter, OF securing u
cleaner supply, IL is suggested that a
local inspection systembe inauguraied
This may be done, unless we are mis-
taken, under the general powers Of the
Board of Health but If IT be deemed
advisable distinct ordinance could
be passed
such an ordinance should provide
for the frequent inspection of diaries,
the grading and proper labelling of AL
milk and the publication OF dairy
scores and milk analyses with such
explanations and comments as may be
needed 10 interpret these findings to
the general public. All milk should
be graded and the best grades should
command and receive a higher price
and the consumer should understand
hast he is getting and the producer
should feel that his efforts are suitably
rewarded. This is the basis of all sue
eesslul and lasting milk reform aud
| the determination of the price of milk
upon quality basis is only just and
proper 10 both sides of the milk ques
tion.
In this connection It should be stat
Ell that samples, in reasonable
amounts, should be given by dealers
not paid for and that this should be
made a prerequisite 10 the sale of mllk
in Putnam.
Likewise should the scoring OF
diaries, outside of ,the city limits, be
provided IN the local law or regula,

Waste Disposal

Sewage. In the investigation Just
completed, inspections were made Of
5S7 premises. OF these AS were con
nected with the public sewer System
and 1870 were not. We are Informed,
however that wherever public sewer
is available all premises are connected
Assuming that these inspections rep
resent conditions existing throughout
the city, we find that about % per cent
of residences have no sanitary sewer
The great majority of those not so pro-
vided have surface privies and the bal
ance cesspools. Some are said to use
old wells and some even dispose of
their human waste from pals by emp
tying upon the ground, None OF the
privies, it is claimed, or very few, are
fly proof.
That this is dangerous situation
needs no argument, and in view OF
these facts, Putnam's relative freedom
from typhoid, or at least from fatal
cases of this disease, Is ITO be wondered
Mt, 1t is a safe statement that this
comparative immunity Will snot last,
under such circumstances.
The law requires that these places
be cleaned once year. This is not
sufficiently often, nor is ii specified
that the contents Of vaults be carried
only in waterlieht containers. This
work should be done by city depart
ment, not 10y individual heaseholdefs.
Garbage and refuse should be collect.
ed periodically by tie city, and the
householder should not be required to
depend ON the farmer for The taking
away Of his swill, nor should its bury
ing be permitted,
The maintenance of public dumps,
for any other than !dry refuse, is with
out excuse. Our inspection shows,
however, that these places are iall
breeding flies and mosquitoes, and con-
tain accomplishing animal and vegeta-
bic matter as well MS water collected in
discarded receptacles.
! In none OF the stables inspected is
Il
manure so kept in water tight, fly
proof receptacles as TO prevent fly
| breeding, nor Is Ii treated chemically
so as TO control this feature. OF the
cisterns, tanks and rainbarrels inspect
ed, 63 were mosquito proof and III
were not, SO that with the advent OF
warm weather mosquitoes should be
present in abundance, Sagging or
stopped up rain cutters ~, tin cans A.,
with several pools Of standing water
will all add 10 the mosquito problem
at the proper season,
TheSematlers may all he easily con-
trolled ey proper laws and inspection

Infant Mortality
In the protection Of its child life,
especially infant life, has Patnam ac-
compnshed less than in any other line
Of public health work, and yet even
here, there is a,good foundation upon
which to build, namely fairly complete
birth registration.
During 1915 there occurred n deaths
Of infants under one year of age, OF
about one death among every eight
babies born. The number of infant
deaths, based upon the l7s births fol

oiuer Foods

The inspection of the restaurants
and food stores, such as groceries, meat
markets, soda aud ice cream parlors
and lunch counters, shows the need OF
attention to some matters which are
fundamental In the production and
distribution Of clean safe foods. There
were twenty-three such places inspect
ca. I'm ten groceries, foods intended Ia
be consumed raw were protected in
eight, and not SO in two. Seven Ct
these stores had adeq uate washing and
toilet facilities for employees and three
had none. In six, there were proper
facilities for washing utensils, and in
four there were not. All ten groceries
claimed To have their places Of business
screened in summer, yet nine of these
stated that their screen doors were not
self, closing,
In four places where Tres b meats are
handled, one had self closing screen
doors and three did not have their
goods properly protected from flies.
