Poliomyelitis and other epidemics with complications are striking the human race and little is being done about it in NorthNEED FOR land. Dr Smith, CLEANLINESS the pioneering mei , dicing man of Ho-

kianga. has got the right idea about I the closing of schools. Do not let us argue about the need for cleanliness. The cleanest public convenience between Dunedin and the North is that in Rathbone Street, but there are others in a filthy state, and flies find their way from them to food which people eat. I say isolate and clean all public conveniences, including the handles, doors, etc., telephone receivers and handles, fumigate all money and be clean. Then I am sure a lot of disease would not have anything to live on. —“EXIT GERM.”
