The Clean up Season
By n. J. LaRose, Commissioner of Health

1t is necessary to remind people that the
season is here for general cleanup; all
householders are expected to give their
back-yards and adjoining alleys thorough
cleanup.
This means that for every house there
should be two receptacles at the alley-one
for garbage (unless this is buried on the
lot or fed to chickens), and another for
junk and other refuse, such as broken
dishes, wire, bones, empty tin cans, etc.,
which cannot be burned. The garbage can
proper should have a good cover and the
contents should be sprayed twice week
with kerosene, or other disinfectant, to pre-
vent the Matching Of flies.
And this reminds us that all live Boards
OF Health everywhere are Waging a relent-
less warfare on the house-fly and the mos
quito. We have long since learned that
while "swatting the fly is all right, we can
never exterminate them by this method the
only way to accomplish that is to prevent
them from Matching.
The great majority of flies are Matched in
manure piles, neglected COW and horse
stables, neglected toilet buckets and uncov-
cred garbage cans. A strict rule of this
department is that all manure piles are to
be removed once a week during the hot
season, and all cows and horse stables, open
garbage cans, toilet buckets and offensive
chicken parks, must be sprayed or sprinkled
with common kerosene, containing tea
spoonful of crude carbolic acid to each
gallon, once each week. If this is done,
practically no flies can hatch on your
premises.
Every dwelling house should have screens
for doors and windows; but if you cannot
succeed in keeping flies entirely out Of the
house, be sure to keep them out Of any
sick room
Another thing, diphtheria and typhoid
fever have been known to originate from
puddle of water or even a bucket Of
slop, near the back door Garry out all
slop and laundry suds to the garden and
pour them between the rows of growing
corn and potatoes-they are splendid fer
tilizers
The asf-heap is another menace. All
asll-heaps must be spread out in the alley.
This should be done when the ashes are
carried out during the Winter, thus saving
the extra work of spreading them out in
the Spring

in this matter in the past, and trust they will

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Notice is hereby given that driving on Gin
der paths and parkways must be discon-
tinued at once
We have had some complaints already in
regard to bicycle riders not observing the
restrictions placed upon them Let all
those interested be sure to read the instruc-
tons in the Theocrat of April 18th and OBJ
serve them, or they will have to be entirely
withdrawn. The habit of riding on park
ways and in yards along the sidewalks,
must be discontinued.
The Police have instructions to see that
these regulations are obeyed.

continue to help, to the end that we may
make the City Of Zion the cleanest city
along the North Shore. It is the intention
of this department to patrol the alleys, as
sisted by the police, to see that these regu-
lations are carried out
An Ordinance has been prepared and will
soon appear in The Theocrat, regulating
rates for scavenger, garbage and junk re-
moval. These rates are all very reasonable
and should be paid promptly; they are just
as necessary as telephone and electric light
accounts, and even more so, for they have
to do with the health of the city, while the
others are often mere luxuries, and yet no
family could have them without payment
of the bills promptly.
It has been the history of all wars, that
besides the loss of life, distress of body and
mind, famine and suffering that accompany
them, there are always more or less disease,
sickness and contagion following in their
wake. This has been doubly true with the
world war that closed last November. This
disease and contagion usually reach the ut
termost bounds of civilization and we here
in Zion already have been touched by it,
so that we should all be on the alert to keep

less likely to be affected by the scourge.
1t is a wel-known fact that all the con-
tagion we have ever had here has been
carried in from the outside, and since our
geographical location brings us in close
touch with surrounding cities, it will always
remain So Let us, therefore, increase our
vigilance and cooperation with the health
authorities, that we may cope with it to
the best possible advantage.
