Pleasant: Our attention is being called by the I state board of heaUli to the necessity 'of our annmal Comunity Clean-up day It has long been an accepted fact that cleanleness, beauty and health are inseparable. We have learned that one of the worst enemies of human health is Typhoid fever, that this disease is caused by a little r od shaped Bacteria which Floats in the human blood stream, that the disase is carried to communities by means of an in-adaquate in-adaquate water system, that the incidence inci-dence of this disease with its high death rate are very materially reduced reduc-ed by means of a well protected water system. ' Last year in Mt. Pleasant and adjoining ad-joining vacinities there were six cases 'tnd not oie using soley city water-supply water-supply developed the disease; fur- ther the spread of the disease is very materially enhanced by our foe, the house fly this insect generates in 'manure piles garbage piles, out nouses and,other places of filth hence 't becomes our duty to carefully dispose dis-pose of or disinfect these beds of ' generation. This item is sincerely drawn to the attention of every citizen and will be carefully inspected by the captian of each Clean up Team and the City jToard of Health. j These items will be followed up and observed dulling the coming seasons by a civic committee. Should j there exist any question as to proper jdispposal of these filth heaps the i board of health shall gladly cooperate cooper-ate with you. ,' Lets make this a clean up year. rather than a "clean up day"; beaut-. beaut-. ity our city, add to our health and wealth.
