Sanitation Then
And Now Compared j
,In The Olden Days People Lse.l j
I Whiskey to Prevent Diseases.
At Old Cleveland.
(By James C. Elliott.)
The Jews emphasized the Impor
tance of cleanliness. No unclean
person was allowed to enter their
| sacred congregations, and a priest
| or preacher must be sound or whole.
Any physical 'impairment disquali
fied him. Wash and be clean was a
commandment. Only civilised people
with good clothes can keep clean.
Savages clad in garments of skins
have a poor chance for cleanliiSSss.
When their camps oecame unsani
tary, they moved to new locations.
That precaution/ Is necessary in
modern army camps.
Towns and cities can keep sani
tary conditions good by co-opera
tion, but the isolated countryman
has much to contend with in stables
hog-pens, chicken roosts and bad
draining system. So we can uote
the c'.ean appearance of urban
homes. Time was, when buzzards
i ad flies W'ere natural scavengers
to consume surplus filth.
Then small towns had a vacant j
lot nearby where dead animals and
filth were deposited. Then typhoid
and typhus fevers, cholera and
smallpox were common seourages
of mankind. And whiskey was the
most dependable remedy and pre
vention against sickness In 1880 I
was running a little country store
and sold chickens and eggs at Clev
eland Springs—a giyal health resort
in the summer for the richer peo
ple. And I noted sanitary conditions
there. The large dining room was
■cn the ground Jlo.or •vjthjone long
table with all the food on the
table. Dishes screened against
flies, had not been thought of. A
rope was stretched length-wise of
the table to which was attached
long strips of paper A negro boy
had hold of one end cf the rope.
Jerking it to scare away the flies
while the crowded guests on both
sides of the table r.te their sump
tuous dinnef with flies swarming
like bees. Before going to dinner,
the guests took a drink of whiskey
in their rooms to preserve health.
All contagious and infectous di
seases come from filth Flies and
mosquitoes are bred in filth and
carry many disease gejms. The
way to combat them is to destroy
their breeding places.
I heard a man say 20 years ago
that the city of Paris was kept so
clean that it had no flies, other
vermin, to carry diseases . So do
rats, cats and tfogs carry diseases.
The dog is a scavenger, running at
large, carrying all kinds of disease
germs. The chief source of sickness
