(1.) Do not use Sanitary sewers and Closets until notified by the Board of Health. Even if the hollywater system is on, the sewers are full of mud and will clog. Burn or bury all excreta garbage and filth. Add lime and bury deep. Use disinfectant in out-door trenches also. (2.) Thoroughly scrub, clean and dry your cellar. Keep your cellar windows open. Remove and burn or bury all rubbish. Sprinkle lime around cellar, especially in damp places. Sprinkle floor with disinfectant sent herewith (two tablespoons-full to one quart of water.) (3.) Thoroughly clean your in and out door premises. (4.) Place concentrated lye or a tablespoon of disinfectant in each sink or trap in toilet, basement and kitchen. Allow to stand over night. Do this every evening. (5.) Boil all water, even holly water, and thoroughly cook all food. Boil all cooking utensils. Do this for months to come. (6.) Do not enter houses which have been flooded until thoroughly cleaned and dried. (7.) Keep your own self clean. Do these things to avoid pestilence and sickness. Do it for yourself. Do it for Dayton. Take care of yourself and you will take care of Dayton. =Maj. L. T. Rhoades, U. S. Army.= ONE OF THE EARLY NOTICES “Do not use water closets. Contents will reach cellars. Use vessels, disinfect, and bury in back-yards. Disinfectants: carbolic acid, chloride of lime, bichloride of mercury, and creolin.” “Do not use sanitary sewers and closets until notified by the Board of Health. Even if the “Hollywater” system is on, the sewers are full of mud and will clog. Burn or bury all excreta, garbage and filth. Add lime and bury deep. Use disinfectant in out-door trenches also.” Inspection showed a much better condition than was anticipated. In all but three districts, the sanitary sewers were running freely and the warnings were replaced by new notices: “Sewers are open and ready for use. If the water supply is not sufficient for flushing, fill the tank of the closet with a bucketful of water, and flush as usual.” Wooden public convenience stations were also established over sewer manholes in the business sections and in residential sections without sewer connections.
