By careful attention to the cleans

Are Citv Officials Responsible To Its Citizens In Causing
Disease From Preventable Causes
An Intelligent. people must co-ofier-
ate In the great work of eradication of
disease, for the right to enjoy health
is quite us sacred as that to possess
property. As a general proposition,
our sanitary laws are very good but
their administration still leaves much
to be desired.
To Ignorance and carelessness must
be attributed much of the causation of
disease in the centuries gone by. Out
of the throes of suffering and death
of the myriads who have preceded us
we have obtained a certain enlight
enments which, while not perfect, still
makes it absurd to plead ignorance
and lack of knowledge.
The day is not far distant when it
will be considered a crime for a city
to continue to murder its citizens by
furnishing them an impure water sup
ply. Diseases which consign thou
sands to the grave leave even worse
results in their wake by passing on
to the children a hopeless poverty,
opening the gate to crime, prostitu
tion and mendicancy. All the au
thorities agree that contagions react
on the moral fibre of a community or
people, and contrariwise, where they
live under healthful conditions great
advancement in government, litera
ture and science has been made.
There is a moral obligation to be
intelligent. Ignorance is a vice and
when it results in injury to anyone
it becomes a crime, moral, if not
statutory. There is no excuse in this
day for ignorance of any one in rela
tion to the necessity for the purifica
tion of all water supplies in cities
where the death rate from water
borne disease is higher than that in
cities having perfectly satisfactory
water.
Responsibility is a word of tremen
dous Import. Its significance is akin
to trust and these men who are re
sponsible for and high minded in the
conduct of human affairs realize their
liability to be called to account when
honored with leadership.
There are men, however, upon
whom responsibility rests lightly, per
haps not wilfully but because of cir
cumstances beyond their control and
hi the management ot their trusts they
become indifferent to the only too
common signs of inefficiency, whien
ultimately result in retrogression, if
not disaster.
The purpose of government is to
protect its citizens, and a government
which fails to shield the people from
infection cannot be truthfully called
either responsible, intelligent or
moral.
The greatest asset of any city or
town is the health of the citizens,
and the officials who secure this in
the highest degree are those who ap
preciate the responsibility placed upon
them in this very important matter.
Preventive measures in conserving
the health of the community records
success in direct ratio to the number
of lives saved, and it is pleasing to
note that the statistics of the last cen
tury show an increase of fifteen years
in the average human life. There 'is
reason to hope that, in the future,
this increase may be duplicated in a
considerably shorter time, if earnest
le is made of present day science.
The plain fact is that not only does
ignorance breed disease hut the con
verse is almost as true and that dis
ease breeds ignorance, immorality
and strife. In the light of the scien
tific work at the present time, disease
in Its horrible wholesale form Is con
trollable if it cannot be entirely elim
inated. This control or elimination is
possible only when there is an awak
ening of the sense of responsibility on
the part of those who have been ele
vated to the high places in govern
ment. Short sighted humanity fail^to
appreciate nature’s gifts until threat
ened with their loss. This is true
even of the greatest of them all, life
itself. It is significant of our failure
to value health.
Now, Mr. Public Official, do you, as
a city official, realize that you, person
ally, are, responsible for every death
from a water borne disease, which
occurs in your city unless you are
consistently and persistently doing
everything possible to prevent such
ileath?
A very large percentage of the sick
ness of the human race is due to the
eating or drinking of human excre
ment. This is not very pleasant to
think of and less elegant to write
about, yet it is necessary sometimes
for us to know unpleasant and distate-
fill things. When one takes typhoid
fever he has partaken of human
faeces; when we have dysentery we
are obliged to have taken into our
mouths the germs that are thrown off
from one who has the disease in the
movement of the bowels. This is
also true of other diseases.
There are many ways in which these
germs are transmitted from the hoot,
the diseased person, to the well per
son. If all human excrement could
be Immediately handled in a sanitary
way these diseases would become an
cient history.
One thing that everyone could do
to lessen the incidence of these dis
eases would be the constructing of
sanitary closets. They are inexpen
sive and almost anyone could have
a safe privy. For the amount of the
investment we do not know of a great
er return; it is the very best, cheapest
life insurance policy that you can
take out.
The State Board of Health, Atlanta,
issues bulletins giving you instructions
how to construct sanitary closets for
rural homes and schools, and send
when requested working plans, so that
anyone can build such a closet. It
is your duty to yourself and family,
let alone to your neighbor, to build
an approved closet. Write for these
plans and bulletins and get busy.
