By DR.. A. r. LEWIS
State Health Commissioner

Now is the time all good people
should begin making plans for a
cleanup"
Long experience has taught us
that cleanliness OF person and prem
ises is a protection against disease;
that clean surroundings. are apt to
be free from germs and infection;
and that clean food is the only safe
food
We have also learned that clean
healthy environment has whole
some effect; that, dirty, insanitary
environment is degeneratlve in its
effects physically, mentally and
morally, and produces an unfit cit
izenship. Another self evident truth
is that anything which raises the
standard of public health pays finan-
cially. There is nothing more ex-
pensive to the individual or to the
community than sickness or impair
ed health.
Favorable sentiment toward heal
thy living and better health condi-
tions has grown until now nearly ev-
cry town and city in the state has
its regular annual cleanup. But 1t
remained for an enterprising little
town on the east side to strike the
keynote to health protection and the
"City Beautiful" Realizing that an
annual cleanup would no more suf-
flee for clean city than would
yearly bath for clean individual,
this town appointed three commit
tees. each committee composed of
three business men of good judg
ment. These committees have
sought and been granted authority
to act as guardians Of the public
health. They will make monthly in
spections (more often il necessary,
of the milk and meat supplies, all
restaurants, hotels and soda foun-
tains; look after the sanitary condi-
tions of the streets, alleys and back
yards. They have gone about rails
ing the standard of the public health
in the right way, knowing that aeon
tinuous.y clean city requires contin-
lous effort and vigilance.
Now is the opportune time for
city officials, women's clubs, church,
es, mems organizations, and similar
bodies to get together and formulate
cooperative plans for a general clean
up and to appoint committees to
stand sponsor for the public health

produced the best cotton in the
state in 1921. and present indica-

the acreage. even In the face OF
probable invasion by the boil weevil.
