IF the dust etA1tLtS A-l.sttDs AF1fM
contains the organisms of con
sumption on: summer diarrhoea,
the chances of disease resulting
are increased.
Dust should, therefore, be
abated in the interest Of public
health.
The sweeping OF unsprinkled
streets should be regarded as
crime.
A damp buster should be used
for busting in the home and damp
tea-leaves or fragments of paper
strewn on the floor before sweep
ing.
The vacuum. cleaner and cor
responding devices are great pro-
tections.
In both the United States and
Great Britain water carts are
used extensively. both mechanical
and horse drawn. the former be-
ing more hygienic.
In some towns, notably in
France. there are large water
taps in the principal streets
which supply streams Of water to
clean the cutters.
In Lausanne, I observed the
sanitary service use hosepipes on
these taps by which they can
spray the whole street. They
also have an arrangement for
watering the roads by tramcars.
which is now used in most towns
and cities in the United States.
Sprinkling streets with disin-
fectant mixed with the water can
not be of very great value. as the
solution is bound to be extremely
weak. Municipal authorities at
Hastings, England, found after
long trial that the use of salt
water injured streets, carriage
wheels, paint and plumbing.
In the home, as / have repeat
eddy urged, the vacuum cleaner
is the most sanitary and ideal
method Of cleaning, the principle
being successfully applied on a
large scale to street cleaning in
most American cities. This means
a great gain in the public, health.
