FILTH AND DISEASE.
In view of the prevailing epidemics it has been suggested to us that the managers of the local halls should, at least once a week, thoroughly disinfect the buildings. Probably this is being done, if not, it should be, as a safeguard against disease germs. It has been arranged to have the local State school thoroughly disinfected periodically by the Health Officer and in daily cleaning a liberal use of disinfectant is provided for. Householders should also burn or bury decaying vegetation and other rubbish and sprinkle a little dry earth or other disinfectant in theisanitary pans. Until Foxton Inaugurates a drainage system residents cannot be too caretul in taking all necessary precautions to safeguard their own and othe_r people’s health by burning or burying fifth and refuse on their premises.
