Fifth—The last but not the least important point I wish to call your attention to in speaking of the in- dividual, is the great sew- er pipe of the system—the bowels; and I want to say to you, in passing briefly over my subject, that this is one of the most neglected of all Mrs. Steven Meyer of Ot- well, a daughter, Danielle Suzanne, Sept. 15; to Mr. and Mrs. Brad Woodhull of Otwell, a daughter, Ton- ie Rachelle, Sept. 2; to Mr. and Mrs. Stacy Jenkins of Petersburg, a son, Kolby Al- an, Sept. 12; to Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Aldridge of Hous- ton, TX, a son, Joshua Benja- min, Sept. 11.

Lamar before the last session of the Pike County Farmers' Institute: (contin- ued from last week) Third— No clothing which is used through the day should be worn at night because they do to some extent contain the poisons excreted by the skin. Fourth—The sleeping 1/20/1893—Sanitary By Sandy McBeth the laws of nature and yet, one that should be thought of and regarded every day of our lives. Why, I have known persons who kept their bowels so well filled that their breath actually gave their condition away; and I remember one person in particular, whom the Lord had blessed with all the at- tractions of form and beau- ty, one in whose love and presence I had almost con- cluded I could spend a life- time of peace and happi- ness, and, leaning over the old rusty gate I had just fin- ished my declaration to her, when the moon, in all its sa- cred kindness, peeping from behind a passing cloud, re- vealed the fact that her po- sition was still unchanged and I kissed her squarely in the mouth. Your house should be con- structed in a way that it will protect you from the win- ter's chilly blast as well as the scorching rays of mid- summer's sun. The win- dows should be large and commodious that plenty of air and sunlight may en- ter the room—a necessary means for the destruction of the myriads of infectious germs whose only mission is to find inviting soil and de- velop disease in the human system. Your water should be well tern divided into halves by a brick wall about nine inches thick allowing the water to flow into one side and grad- ually filter through the wall into the other where the wa- ter by seeping through the brick partition is deprived of the greater portion of its im- purities. I want to say to you that the wells in the country are a great source of disease, especially in the dry season when the water is low and we are compelled to depend on the scanty supply. Dur- ing the summer months of this year we had an epidem- ic of dysentery and typhoid fever and a careful observa- tion forced me to conclude that the source of infection was through the use of low well water; for in every in- stance when called to see a case of typhoid fever I gave instructions to boil the wa- ter or quit the use of it and I never had the second case in the same family. The above precaution had not been taken in the treat- ment of dysentery hence, in many instances every mem- ber of the family was infect- ed. It is true we may get the guarded from surface filth, for through it such diseases as typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera and many others too numerous to mention, are conveyed into the system. Hence, the point I wish to call your attention to in the construction of a cistern are: First the location, which liott, 63, of Campbelltown, died Sept. 20 suffering from cancer; Martin L. Hayes, 72, of Greenfield, formerly of Velpen, died Sept. 18; Lucy Catt, 52, of Petersburg, died Sept. 17; Martina Fehribach, 80, of Jasper, died Sept. 14; George Benedict of Bethes- da, MD, formerly of Win- slow, died Sept. 17; Vena A. Wampler, 84, of Bicknell, sis- ter of Mildred Willis of Pe- tersburg, died Sept. 17. a capacity to hold as abun- dance of water through the long dry seasons; for drink- ing purposes and household use. Third—A cistern should should be some place where the surface water will drain from instead of into the cis- tern. Second—It should have destruction of the poison- ous germs requires but lit- tle trouble or expense. It can be done by pouring boiling water or a solution of bichlo- ride of mercury over them. Your yard and garden poison direct from the stools of the typhoid or dysenter- ic patient or may get it indi- rectly by casting them into the privy vaults, by burying them in the ground or by a more frequent habit of emp- tying the vessel in the back yard or on a favored spot in the garden where next spring's onion bed is to be made. The proper way for the should be led from the house through a filter of charcoal into the cistern, to catch as much of the impu- rities as possible or, a still better method, have the cis- be well walled and cement- ed that no surface water may enter. Fourth—The water should be kept free from all filth, garbage, decaying veg- etation and stagnant pools of dish and bath water which are the favorite resorts of the goose and duck, where in their hydro-nature they delight in stirring up the hot beds of disease germs. The yard should be deco- rated with a requisite num- ber of shade trees for the comfort of the family and a proper distance apart and from the house to admit plenty of air and sunshine. sponsor of the club.
