Undoubtedly every large California labor camp, practically without 

 exception, has its typhoid carrier or carriers. 



3. Any person afflicted with a communicable disease should be kept 

 away from the kitchen and fnesshouse. 



4. In the case of cooks, helpers and waiters, absolute cleanliness of 

 person and clothes should be insisted upon. 



5. All perishable food supplies should be protected from putrefaction 

 and insects. In remote localities where ice can not be obtained, a 

 small screened inclosure should be built in the shade and covered with 

 burlap or canvas which should be kept wet in warm weather. This 

 will keep fresh, meats, eggs, butter, milk, etc.

VI. 

 Garbage and Refuse Disposal. 



1. Kitchen garbage and refuse should be kept in fly-proof containers, 

 preferably metal, until permanently disposed of. Such containers 

 should be emptied at least once in two days. 



2. Fly-tight receptacles should be provided convenient to the sleeping 

 quarters, for the collection of wastes, such as paper, cast-off clothing, 

 etc. 



3. All garbage should be disposed of either by incineration, by bury- 

 ing, or by feeding to hogs. (Hogs should not be allowed within a 

 quarter of a mile from camp.) Garbage should not be fed to chickens, 

 as they will not consume it all, thus affording fly breeding and feeding 

 places. 



4. Incinerators for the burning of garbage and wastes can be easily 

 and cheaply constructed.
