FOR CLEANER CITY
Wo, Hie children of the Roosevelt
fifth mid sixth grade.., fool thnt wo
should put our knowledge, of s'nhltn
, Hon to iirnctioal use nnd to the. best
of our nbillty help make our city
elenn nnd saniinry. Cur committee
luih reported these errors in sntntn
tion nnd we ask that they be cor
rected, for what is the use in study
iii physiology iyid snnitntion in
school If we are compelled to live
in unsanitary conditions through i.u
nornnce or plain reelect.
ClartwiRO
We find that a practice has been
mado of ilumpiii); garbage at the end
of Cottage street into Hear creek.
A great pile of refuse now Hex rot
ting there, nnd the 'stench is very
bad. This is one of the worst cases
of noor sanitation. Not only does
the food decnv and produce a had
odor, but it provides the finest
breeding plncc for germs and flics.
We earnestly nsk that the city
council prohibit this custom of
dumping garbage in the city limits,
nnd that n way may be provided to
bum the city's refuse.
Wo find that thero nrc several
places within the. city limits where
peoplo keep horses or cows, nnd that
they allow the mnnure to lie outside
of the sinbles for months at u time.
Stable manure is the greatest place
for breeding flics; a cubic foot is
said to hnfch thousands every year.
Flies lay their eggs in it, and the
vrnrrath insures n 95 per cent hatch.
Wo recommend that the city compel
theso peoplo to remove the manure
every week, at, least every thirty
days, nnd wo suggest that all the
schools unite with us in a fly swat
ting campaign ncs&rsprinp.
A few peoplo in the south part ot
Mcdfonl have pig pcB on the bank
of Hear creek. Thlsris a violation!
of the city ordinance. The pens are
filthy and produce a vile stench.
Street Stwplngs
Wo notice that tho street sweep
ings are dumped behind the city pub
lic market, and now n bed of .soft
mud lies there containing decayed
food. If, n, stone is thrown into the
soft; mnss it disappears, and n vile
smell greets you.
Wo wish to praise this feature,
because it is deserving of , high
praise, yet one thing is done there
thnt is not correct. Fruits nnd food-

of nil kinds nro di.solayed, so that
dust, germs and flies could come in
contact with it. People 'handle the
food and then pass on. This is a
dangerous practice, ns diseases is
easily spread in this way. Some of
the men who sell meat and other
foods nro very careless as to the
cleanliness of their hnnds, and even
their faces. This should not be al
lowed.
Spitting
Tho ordinance against spitting has
not been enforced nnd the people at
large do not obey. The Nash corner
and Brown's generally look n's
though there hud been a gentle rain
falling, though the sky be clear and
the sun shining.
Hies
All our stores are not careful as
to the number of flies in their build
ing. This is dangerous. We, beg th
grocers not to allow their show, win
dows to be filled with flies. It is a
poor advertisement.
We condemn the way that tho av
crngo citizen cares for his gurbage;
in fact, fails to care for it. This
should not be allowed, and tho city
ought to stop paying salaries to
councilmen nnd use thnt money to
hire a city garbage wagon.
This is part of the report of the
unnitary committee,

auguratcd by tho ladles ot the Grea
ter "Medford club was endorsed, reso
lutions upon the death of J. E. Watt,
were adopted and "Medford tho
gateway to Cfatcr 1-ako" was recom-
.mended as a slogan for local corre
spondence, together with "Buy your
191S'tlckcts via Oregon with Modforl
stop-over."
The resolutions upon, the death of
J. E. Watt Introduced by Den Shel
don were as follews:
In that Infinite wisdom and good
ness that Is beyond our understand
ing the Divine Father has removed
from our midst our esteemed felloiv
member and worker, Mr. J. E. Watt.
Only those who have been cloycly
associated with him In his dally activ
ities can appreciate tho great loss to
our city, the business community and
to this Commercial club. Wo bava
lost a splendid citizen, an upright
and successful business man, a loyal
worker for tho common good, a de
voted and well-loved friend. To his
bereaved family we extend our deep
est sympathy with tho hope that their
grief In this dark hour may be light
ened by the memory left with us of u
man ot such lovable character and
sterling worth.
The directors voted to send an ap
propriate floral offering and the fol
lowing' committee was appointed by

little expense. Tho butterfly net to
be used In the homo Is superior to
tho ordinary "swatter." Ho bo
lleved It this campaign Is prosecuted
vigorously Medford will sec Its last
fly In June.
Prof, Wilson of the agricultural
college also dwelt strongly upon har
monious co-operation if good results
aro to bo obtained. Destroy tho fly!
beforo he reaches tho house as he1
may be carrying typhoid gornis. Do-
stroy tho breeding placo of the fly.
Ulsposo of all rofuso and treat with
something to destroy larvae, disin
fectants aro not usually effective;
placo fly traps where flics appear.
The general plan Involves an educa
tional campaign and the enacting t.f
city ordinances. All garbago should
be removed at least once each week.
The education Is brought about by
posters, placards, lectures and mov
ing pictures. Interest the women's
clubs, tho newspapers school chil
dren, boy scouts; place books bear
ing pon the subject in tho library:
bring tho subject beforo the Commer
cial club and the city council, en
courage the dealers to handlo tho
best traps, offer prizes to children
and lot them distribute posters. Prof.
Wilson urged that patronage bo with
drawn from all dealers in foodstuffs
and dalrys who wero tincloanly and
unsanitary.
Mrs. McKlbbon of Grants Pass, re
cently of Muskogee, Okla., a promi
nent club woman and connected with
tho food Inspection department in
that state told of the campaign to
make Muskogee flyless which was
practically accomplished largely
through her personal efforts. She
also advised the boycotting of dealers
who did not maintain sanitary condi
tions In thoir plans of business.
In early spring cards were distri
buted to the school children nnd
prizes given to tho child in each
school who had killed the most at
the end of the season, count made
each week, credit entry mado on each
card. Interest was maintained by
A campaign for tho extermlna
tlon ot the fly was Inaugurated for
Medford at the library yesterday af
ternoon when three prnctlcal nnd In

by n good sized audience of Interested
housewives, Dr. llodgo who la known ut,0pcst admiration and wonder. Tho

kind of work was tho first speaker! tlc destruction of Insects and weed
and dwell first upon the Importance ;mni,, s nimost Incalculable. It Is
of fly extermination noting tho fact,Lttmatod that birds destroy 21,000
that In the Spanish-American wnrltnnrtHthi of Insects In one day in
over 7000 soldiers died of typhoid Massachusetts. It Is a matter of
due largely to fly Infection, while vital Importance that protection bo
only 1000 men were killed In battle.
Summer complaint among children I
largely caused by files about GC,000
deaths yearly. Millions aro Invested
In fly screens but are almost use
less, keeps tho files Indoors, screened
pits are almost perfect Incubators,
stable cellars nlco dangerous.
Plans for extermination require a
friendly co-operation, authority re
quired so some ordinances may be
necessary.
The biological plan requires out
door extermination, a thorough vac
uum c'caulng. Cleveland, Ohio, was
extended to them, Many stunt birds
have beeu exterminated, notably the
trumpeter swan nud tho passenger
pigeon nnd woodcock nrovftnlshlug,
destruction brought about largely by
man's ruthlessiiesit and commercial
ism, Up to tho past year thoro has been
a standing offer of $1000 tor any ouo
who would find tho nest of n passen
ger pigeon. Young peoplo should bn
taught to preserve, birds nnd to tame!
feeding shelves, for birds fastened t"
tho window lodges would n sources ot
plensuro to all as all kinds of birds
will bo attracted thereto autt an In
timate study mado of them. He ad
vised tho building of bird fountains
at school arouses the Interest In na
ture In tiio child ng well as teaching
kindness,
The "llob White's" service to ngrl
culturlsts can hardly bo estimated.
