What A
Clean Town
MEANS FOR THE HEALTH
OF HER INHABITANTS.
By Mayor Dr. E. B. Banghn.
Cleanliness is the best. asset to
ths l»alth and happiness of any
town, city or community. In fact,
cleanliness is the heart and soulof
all health, happiness and prosper
ity of a town or community. We
are miserable and paupers without
health, and we cannot have it un
less we abide by certain laws which
cleanliness is the first and most
important. Vt e are inclined to
place it before Godliness, for clean
liness of body, cleanliness of mind
and soul, and cleanliness of our
surroundings are essential to a full
appreciation of the Spiritual
■virtues.
Our conception of the cleanli
ness of our surroundings has great,
ly changed with our advanced!
knowledge. We once thought that
the soil contained all germs that
were pathogenic to man; but now
we know that the soil contains on
ly a few of these germs, that the
greater number breed on decaying
matter and filth that cover the soil. j
Tin cans, trash heaps, boxes, open j
wells and closets, wot marshy places ,
covered with weeds; horse lots and
stables, old open rotten bouses, hog
pens, decaying fruits and vegeta
bles are the places that insects
breed, and aie the places that de
mand our attention if we expect to
ba well ar.d happy.
Every town and community
should have a clean-up-week, at
least twice a year. I mean a thor
ough cleaning, from one side to
the other.
This should be in the early'
spring, at breeding time of tin se
insects, and the late fall, at hiber-
. nating seasons for them.
i I don’t mean to simply do this
■ work at these time?, but these are
1 the essential times; but, that we
r should clean up every day, as far
as possible.
Does our town need some of this
cleanliness? Let’s see if it
doesn’t.
You know as well as I there are
! old vacated houses here, rottea to
the ground, and when it rains, it
rains under them as much, as it
does out side. And that these are
unhealthy. Making a favorite
bleeding place, as well as hiding

jtoes. All of which are detrimen
j tai to our health. Especially the
i mosquito and fiy. They should be
condemned. I mean the houses.
You know, too, there are lots in
this town that have never had the
weeds and filth taken off them
That they too, are breeding places
for these same insects. Open wells
are here, hatching mosquitoes by I
the thousand, all during the season.
Hog pens, nearly on the streets,
ce?s pools open and stables where
water and filth abound.
Are we interested in the health
'of our children? If ho, we should
look after these unsanitary places.
Change them from a pool of water,
filth and weeds, to a place of beau
ty, recreation and health sports
Which is best? Lot them remain
and tight the pest after he has
come, or kill him by sanitary con
ditions, before he gets out to do
hie harm. Or rather, to do us
harm.
Which is better, to sweep the
house once a day. or wait until
dirt and rags are two inches deep
and then sweep? Which is the
most sanitary, clear your bed be
fore becoming soiled, or wait until
the creeper comes and annoys you
all night? <Vhy, sure, the first is
the better,

the brave forefathers, who subdu

The fifth of March marked the

place as Councilman of his home
town.
