54 CAMP SANITATION AND HOUSING. 



The Commission of Immigration and Housing of California 

 makes the following suggestions to men in labor camps: 



1. Please use the toilets. Do not urinate or defecate on the 

 camp grounds, for this is the direct cause of a great deal of camp 

 sickness. 



2. Provide yourselves with urinal cans for night use. 



3. The common towel is a carrier of disease. It is better to use 

 your own towel. 



4. Be careful to empty all garbage, refuse and slops into the cans 

 provided. 



5. Keep your windows or other means of ventilation open to admit 

 plenty of fresh air to your sleeping quarters. 



6. Air all bedding and blankets at least once a week. 



7. In malaria regions, use mosquito nets over your beds. 



8. It is safer to use a drinking cup of your own. 



WE HEARTILY AGREE WITH THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND 

 TRUST THAT OUR MEN WILL ASSIST US IN KEEPING THIS CAMP 

 CLEAN AND LIVABLE BY FOLLOWING THE ABOVE SUGGESTIONS.
