The following notice has been is-
sued by the Fort' Worth board of
health:
"By reason of the fact that the
heated term of the year is now on and
that investigation shows that - more
typhoid fever prevails throughout
the country than for many years past
the board of health of the city of Ft.
Worth has instructed me to have all
overground tanks and reservoirs
thoroughly cleaned out at once each
owner of such tank or reservoir be-
ing subject to a fine of $25 under
city ordinance for the failure to ob-
serve the same.
''It is a well known fact that stag-
nant water and impure water alone
is responsible for more typhoid than
all other causes. If you own or con-
trol an overground tank or reservoir
clean it out or if you are supplied
with water by some one that does see
that the owner has it cleaned out at
once. If you own or control one or
more vacant lots on which weeds have
grown up cut them at once under
penalty of a fine of $25 for the fail-
ure to comply with this ordinance. If
you are not using lime freely in your
water closet provide yourself with
a quanti y and use it often in order
that flic' may not carry disease to
your family or your neighbors by
your neglect.
"If you have no board blind hung
on hinges to the rear of your toilet
pat one there at once as provided by
city ordinance and no longer endan-
er yourself and neighbors by this
neglect.
"The city now has a gang of men
at work cutting the weeds from the
prineipu: streets of the city and has
employed a special santiary officer to
enforce the above city ordinances and
he is instructed to file complaints in
every case these ordinances are not
fully observed."
