They think the only reason for

things look well of course and you try
to keep clean for that reason. That's
a good reason.
But it isn't the only reason nor is
it the best reason by good deal.
The chief reason for keeping clean
is that you may keep well. Same
people can keep we'll with dirt around
them. That's because they are lucky
You are not all lucky.
Dirt kills hundreds of men and
women every year. 1T KILLS THOU
SANDS OF BABIES. Let me tell
you why.
In the first place by dirt / mean
filth, matter that is left to lie around
where. is doesn't belong where it rots
and moulds-garbage, rubbish, dust
and waste of all sorts.
This dirt is placed where bacteria
or disease germs grow by the mill
FUfhnCn cioly
ness.
Without dirt no germs can grow.
Flies feed on filth, then carry the
germs to human beings.
Without filth there would be no
flies.
Keep the dirt and flies away and
you will keep away great deal Of
sickness.
Think for a moment about this filth
that is allowed to lie around your
homes, in the streets, the cellars, the
back yards, on the fire-escapes and
say, in the hooks and corners of some
homes.
Would you like to have this dirt in
your food?
None of you would. And yet you
do
Every fly that comes around car
ries little of it, and every time he
touches your food he leaves little
of it there. Every particle of it is
likely to have in it hundreds of NIL
crobes that may get into your stom-
ach and blood grow there and make
you sick.
Some grown men and women as
have told you are strong enough to
fight off these germs and keep we'll.
Most babies are not. If there are
dirt and flies around, the germs are
pretty likely to get at your baby.
That is why l say-clean up for
babies.

Look out for dust. You are likely

But dust is also place for germs
to grow in. Dust goes all through the
air and carries these germs not only
to your food, but into your lungs
when you breathe the air.
One good way to keep the air clean
is to keep your windows open as
