No Closed Season For CIean-UDs
Seven million Americans in some
seven thousand communities have
( been up to their elbows in soap and
water during the year, engaged in
vigorous Cleanup Campaigns Most
of these campaigns reached their
crest in the spring months, when
a young mans fancy turns to love
and woman's fancy turns to house
cleaning.
There should be no closed season
for Cleanup Campaigns, health
authorities now warn us. We should
love cleanliness in December as we
do in May. For the fall and winter
months are the best breeding
months of the germs of respiratory
diseases that gain powerful impetus
by the let-down in cleanliness stand
ards. Closed windows, imprisoned
crowding behind closed doors, and
oyer-heated rooms contribute to
bring this about. The problem is
largely that of crowd, household and
personal cleanliness. An unclean
towel, an unsterile eating dish or
utensil, coughing and sneezing into
nearby faces and Misunderstanding may
serve to communicate colds" and
similar ailments. Our best protec-
ton, therefore, is the habit of clean
illness, which often begins with the
spring Cleanup Campaign but
which should be followed through
the entire year.
The warning of Doctor w. w.
Peter, internationally known health
authority, which appeared in re-
cent bulletin of the American Public
Health Association, is one that peo-
pie individually and collectively
would do well to heed at this season
of the year.
If streets and alleys are filthy"
he states, "the yards will be filthy.
If the yards are filthy, the houses
will be filthy. If the houses are
filthy, the people will be filthy. If
the people are filthy, they will be
sickly, and they won't care.
"Or reason in the other direction.
II alley, streets, yards, and houses
are cleaned, these things show that
the people care. Those who clean
up do other things. One step leads
to another. It's like knocking over
ten pins. It's part of the same
psychology working when the peo-
pie decide they want clean water.
clean milk-and they will give bet
ter support to health department
which tries to keep down sickness
in the town."
Soap and water are the cheapest
form of health insurance.

new changes been rung in on the
bathroom to make it look less like

Rats DESTRUCTIVE TO Corn in Storage


Rats feed upon all kinds of animal
and vegetable matter; they are
equally at home in the open field, in
river banks, and in buildings of all
descriptions, destroying agricultural
crops when newly planted, while
growing, during the harvest season,
in storage, during transit, in the
mill, in the shop, and in the home.
They ruin by pollution many times
as much as they eat. One of the
most common complainants of the
farmer against rats is that they
cause great losses of chicks and
eggs. This kind of damage is more
conspicuous than the slow, steady
drain on grain and other farm pro-
ducts. Rats are expert climbers
and often damage standing corn in
the fields. Corn in the shock is liza
BILE to still greater injury, but by far
the greatest loss is to corn in stOr-
age, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. A ques-
tionnaire sent to 200 representative
farmers in North Carolina disclosed
that an average of 51a per cent of
the stored corn in the State is de-
stroyed each year by rats. More
than half the entire corn crop of the
United States is held in storage for
a period of at least three months
and in that time is susceptible to in
jury by rats. If the average damage
done by them to stored corn for the
entire country is only one-tenth of
what it has been shown to be in
North Carolina, even then we would
have loss of more than $7,OOO,OOO
to corn in storage alone.
