The Teachers Normal opened auspi-
ciously last Monday, and the attendance
is constantly increasing. The manage
ment has secured Prof. T. G. Menden-
hall, of Columbus, o., to deliver his pop
ular lecture, Education in JAPAN" at
Eaton Opera House, July 18th, 1884.
DIR. Halderman. proprietor OF Cedar
Springs, was in Eaton on Tuesday last.
He reports prospects favorable for a big
season. Already there are about 40
guests. In view of the many improve
ments made the place is gaining a fine
reputation.
Now that warm weather is upon US, it
is u duty to do all in our power to sup
press presidential odors, and hotbeds of
disease. If you are a humanitarian, if
you love your neighbors, if you love your
self and family, see to it that there are
no cess-pools, out-houses or decaying
matter SO situated that the germs of dis
ease will be propagated and spread. 1t
is by the very process of fermentation
and decay, fostered in the barn-yard and
clubhouse; yea! v at the very door,
that zymotic diseases obtain sway in the
neighborhood. If your neighbours pig
pens Oh cess-pools prove to be odious,
you have the right to protect yourself
It is better to sacrifice friendship, rather
than life. If the promoter of the evil is
not ready to rectify it, the Board of
Health should be appealed to. All drains
should extend as far from the house as
possible. No Stops should be emptied
into the back doorway or about the
house. Over the contents of the out
house should be daily sprinkled sulphate
of lime or other absorbent in order that
noxious gases may be absorbed. Look
sharp to the sanitary conditions of the
farm. If every man would do his duty,
there would be little need of the great
army of doctors that are now living upon
the ailments of mankind.
