An observing undertaken says few
persons who have LED an active life
ever have lingering Illness. In most
cases they die 10 few days or drop
dead Of heart failure or apOplexy. The
lOafers and disSipatOrs are the ones
who generally have the lingering i'll
ness. When the worker collapses it is
a complete break down, and death
comes quickly.

There are many pieces Of property
10 the city which have not yet felt
the hand Of the cleaner. Ii you
haven't attended to this important
part Of the leaT'S work you had better
do so at once. The sooner this is done
the better it will be. Hot weather
mixed with a lot Of manure plies can
not improve the health Of the COM
mun'Jy, and the medical books tell US
that this mixture gives birth lOgermS
Of many different diseases. Aside
from the danger 10 the health Of the
community, there is something about
a manure pile which does not appeal
to the artistic eye, even if it does
adorn the back yard. Old tin cans,
worn out buckets and the various
other articles usually to be seen in a
back yard can be spared, and the
looks Of the place will not be lessened.
Ordinarily this cleanup should be
ordered at least twice a year, but it
is hard enough to get it done once.
People who own their residence prop
erty are usually very prompt, and do
not require much urging.
The Mexico & Orient railroad has
submitted proposition to run
through Sedgwick county if the coun-
ty will grant construction aid bonds
for g, 900 per mile. This is the statu-

$50, 900 will take care Of" Wichita.
The Mexico & Orient railroad will in
all probability be built. Contracts
for the construction Ct the greater
part of it through Kansas have

road has secured valuable land grants
in Mexico which will justify the build.
