Some time ago little card book-marks were given to the school children of Dallas, Texas, by the Board of Health. On the cards were printed these words:
Spring is here. It is time to clean up. Let us all help to make Dallas a more attractive and healthful city.
Keep your yard, in front and rear, neat and clean. Ask your neighbors to do likewise.
Plant trees, shrubs, vines and flowers. Destroy weeds.
Put garbage and rubbish in covered fly-tight receptacles. Such refuse breeds flies and insects which are dangerous because they spread disease. Cleanliness is cheaper than sickness.
Spare the birds. They destroy worms and insects, thus preserving the flowers and trees and helping to make the city beautiful.
