Show Easter is passed, it Is time for the spring house-cleaning. If evory resident will see to it that his front and back yards are cleaned thoroughly thor-oughly there will be fewer cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever in the houses; if everyone is careful to boil all the water that is to be drank, there will be less typhoid. If a watch is kept and every man who helps take care of people ill with contagious diseases and then, in the same clothing cloth-ing gets into street cars or enters stores, is arrested ar-rested and sent to jail, there will be less contagious conta-gious diseases contracted. A recent article claims that leprosy is being cured chiefly by sun baths, water baths and medicated water baths and the chief lesson it teaches is that after all "cleanliness "cleanli-ness is godliness"; that the chief foe to health is filth and that when the world shall so progress every person keeps himself or herself perfectly clean, there will be perfect health in the world. |
