with hot water and soap several times each week. Urinals should likewise be 

 thoroughly scrubbed at frequent intervals. If wooden urinal troughs are used 

 they can be deodorized by painting with a solution of cresol. 



Privy and toilet buildings should be adequately lighted by means of 

 windows, and artificial lights should be provided for use at night. Good 

 sanitary conditions are much easier to maintain if both the interior and the 

 exterior of the buildings are painted. 



Toilets or privies intended for each sex should be plainly labeled with 

 painted signs. 



Disposal of bath water. In connection with organized camps, tourists' 

 camps, inns, clubhouses, etc., the disposal of bath water becomes a matter 

 of considerable importance. Where a water carriage sewer system is in use, 

 the bath water is carried away by the sewers and disposed of with other 

 sewage, either by dilution or by a septic tank. If this method cannot be 

 used then the bath water can be removed by drains leading to a subsurface 

 irrigation field, or a soakage pit. If conditions permit, the bath water may 

 be discharged directly to a stream or allowed to flow in open ditches until 

 absorbed by the soil. While bath water is not very putrescible, it will create 

 a nuisance if not promptly removed. Wash water from lavatories or ablu- 

 tion stands is similar to bath water, but as a rule contains more soap, and 

 consequently should be passed through a grease trap. A disposal system for 

 wash water is shown in Plate 346.

 other liquids resulting from culinary activities about camps, inns, club-
