Report of Health Officer DR.. Banks.

The conference of health officers held
in Huntington April oath devoted the
whole term TO subjects of health and
sanitation. 1t was urged that all towns,
villages. camps, etc, be cleaned OF all
loose rubbish and garbage OF wnat-
soeyer kind. That to prevent the HES
from carrying microbes into houses,
screens should be used; that all gar
lighthouses and privies should be kept
clean and that they be so constructed
that their contents could easily be re-
moved. and that wire screen be used TO
nrevent flies from having access to the
nrivv contents. By this screening the
propagation of flies would be cut OFF.
Flies carry myriads of germs TO your
kitchen, dining-room, your glass OF
milk or YOUR cup of coffee. Flies are
the greatest carriers of typhoid fever,
because of their coming directly from
typhoid excreta into your home and IN
fecting your food. Do we see the ne
cessity of carefully guarding our PRIV
les and disinfecting all excreta and re-
fuse from the sick room?
II was argued that school athletics
as now practiced is detrimental TO our
Young men and women. Too much space
would be required to set forth the why's
That instead of so-called athletics, lei
military tactics be substituted, which
not only bring about the fullest state
of physical development, and manly
bearing, but gives to our nation man
of worth and training in time OF need.
The mental impairment OF the COM
monwealth, which is due TO morpheus
and feeble minded, is degenerating our
people mentally and physically. Such
marriages should be prohibited by law,
or that castration or vasotomy should
be used to prevent this alarming growth
of degeneration.
School sanitation by Hon. M. P.
Shawkey was ably discussed. 1t was
insisted that all persons, school officers
or not, should often visit their schools
and with the aid of the teacher should
often clean up the school-house
grounds, privies, ETC., that healthfuI
environment be maintained at all times
All towns installing water plants
should have our State Sanitary Engin-
eer come inspect same, point out de-
fects, if any, and approve if no defects
exist. This engineers services any
town or community can have without
expense.
| simply point out the subjects dis
cuSSed and more, | cannot too ur'
gently insist that we institute clean
ing-up campaign for our town and com
munity.

FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR.

That food will win the war is more
and more becoming the opinion OF all
men who are in any measure response
bic for the successful termination OF the
present struggle. 1t then becomes the
privilege of all Of US to contribute in the
winning of the war in two ways-the
production Of large crops this season
and the proper conservation Of the crops
after they are produced. To this end
the Food Administration very courte-
ously urges all farmers to 60 to the limit
in production this year and all house
wives to conserve with reference to
wheat flour and sugar to the limit at
this particular time. Farmers are here
iy required to market their 1917 crop
of wheat without fail before May IS,
1918. This order becomes imperative,
as the supply of wheat for the Ameri-
can homes has dwindled from AZ mil
lion bushels per month to 81 million
bushels per month.
Women folks are interested in the
sugar situation as the canning season
approaches, and the administration ad
vises that every effort is being made to
so distribute the sugar supply in the
United States that each section will
have an abundant supply for canning
at the time needed. To serve this end
consumers in this section are asked to
buy only the normal supply-maXimum
10 pounds in the country and pounds
in the town-until the canning season
is on.
The corn situation OF 1918 is becom-
ing rather acute in this county, and
farmers are asked to see the necessity
of using acid phosphate in the growing
of this years crop, as this will shorten
the maturing period OF the usual crop of
corn at least ten days. Test your seed
and use 200 pounds Of fertilizer per
acre, and the delay in planting will in a
