text: SIX HEALTH HINTS
Wash all over if possible before going to the shelter
Change all underclothes before going to the shelter - they need airing after daytime wear
Germs of many diseases enter through the mouth - try always to wash your hands before you handle food
Remove all bedding from shelter frequently for cleaning and airing
Keep the ventilators open - you must have fresh air from outside
Don't leave litter about - even crumbs encourage vermin and flies, both carriers of disease
KEEP FIGHTING FIT

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
