CLEANING ur TME.-This is the
cleaning up time of the year both in
side the home and upon the exterior
aud about the streets and lots. The
necessity Is apparent; for the sake Of
health il is Imperative that the germs
of disease be not allowed to form on
account OF bad drainage or the accum-
ulation of filth or dirt in back ward,
and around the sheds and stables: for
the sake of good appearances it is oblig-
atory to have the lawn rakcd over and
cleaned OF the debris that may have
accumulated during the past few
months. 1t will be the duty of the
board of health of the city to carefully
hunt out everything that savors of
foulness and filth and seek remedy at
once. 1t should be the object ofspecial
attention OF the street committee to see
that the highways are kept clean and
neat at ali times.
