GENERAL SANITARY NOTICE.
DUST-BIN. Vegetable refuse should not be placed in
the dust-bin, the decay of such matters, especially in hot
weather when few ashes are made, causing offensive
smells injurious to health. Vegetable refuse being, after
slight drying behind the fire, combustible in ordinary
grates, may and should be burned, small quantities being
placed on the fire at a time. The dust-bin should be
emptied once a week.
