3. EXCRETIONS.—Bury a foot deep all human excretions, at least 200 feet
from streams, lakes, or springs.
4. WASHINGS.—Do not wash soiled clothing, utensils, or bodies in
streams, lakes, or springs. Use a container and throw dirty water
on the ground away from the water supply.
5. TOILETS.—Use public toilets where available. They are properly
located. Toilets should be at least 200 feet from streams and not
in gulches.
6. OBSERVE LAWS.—Observe the rules and endeavor to have others do the
same. National and State laws impose heavy penalties for
health-law violations. Report all violations or insanitary
conditions (including dead animals) to the nearest health officer
or Forest Service officer.
_Six Rules for Prevention of Forest Fires_
1. MATCHES.—Be sure that your match is out. Break it in two before you
throw it away.
2. TOBACCO.—Be sure that pipe ashes and cigar or cigarette stubs are
dead before throwing them away. Never throw them into brush,
leaves, or needles. Do not smoke while traveling through the
woods.
3. MAKING CAMP.—Before building a fire scrape away all inflammable
material from a spot 5 feet in diameter. Dig a hole in the center
and in it build your campfire. Keep your fire small. Never build
it against trees or logs or near brush. Where available, use
grates and stoves which have been provided.
4. BREAKING CAMP.—Never break camp until your fire is out—DEAD OUT. Use
water where available.
5. BRUSH BURNING.—Never burn slash or brush in windy weather or while
there is the slightest danger that the fire will get away.
6. HOW TO PUT OUT A CAMPFIRE.—Stir the coals while soaking them with
water. Turn small sticks and drench both sides. Wet ground around
the fire. Be sure that the last spark is dead.
