GREATER
CLEANER
SALEM

Mayor Rodgers has inaugurated n
campaign for cleaner Salem. A
call is to be made upon the citizens
of this city to devote half day dur
ing the coming month to demon
strate their civic pride by turning
out as a solid force, cleaning up their
back and front yards, throw out
the tin can collections hung on back
yard fences; sweep up the alley
ways so that after the day has come
and gone 1t will seem as IL Pied
Piper had charmed the dirt, gather
ed during the years, out of the
houses and into the river. The ex.
act date for this grand cleanup has
not been decided upon by Mayor
| Rodgers, but when the same has
been decided upon, a request will be
sent to the Willamette University.
the public and private schools of the
! city, the business men and others to
| declare a half-holiday and get to-
gether as one giant cleaner, the
same as has been done in other
towns often-the same as was done
In San Francisco February %, 1907,
when the streets still covered with
debris from the fire and earthquake
were cleaned up by thousands OF
volunteers from labor unions, the
school children and the contracting
concerns, while the society women,
in their daintiest garments served
sandwiches and delicacies alike to
the plebian and patrician street
cleaners. who rubbed shoulders to-
gether TO make theirs n better city.
Mayor Rodgers said, in speaking
of the plan, as follows:
my attention has been attracted
to the necessity of q cleanup day by
the number of tin cans. old barrels,
boots and shoes, and every kind OF
rubbish which is allowed to remain
In the yards years in and year out
without being done away with.
don't believe this Is typical OF the
cleanly spirit OF Salemites. For the
purpose OF proving this, will issue
a call for vo'mnteers-voluntee
teams TO take away the dirt which
can he deposited in the street on
the day TO be set; volunteers TO as
sist I'm every way. hope and be-
lieve that every man and woman In
Salem will answer this call for civic
pride. | would like TO see every
alley and alley-way between houses.
back yards and front yards in Salem
swept clean on that day. ! appeal
especially TO the women for aid
for they can, besides doing their
share In the work OF cleaning up. In
sti'l the necessary inspiration into
the men OF the city.
When the day is decided upon, |
will issue a proclamation calling up-
on every patriotic citizen and resi-
dent I'm Salem TO make theirs
cleaner. healthier and more whole

respectively, and a further in
crease of 81 a month for each
Successive enlistment up to and
including the seventh. By this
time, if he still continues a pri-
vate, he receives S25 a month.
The corporal is given $2l for
first enlistment as compared
with SIS formerly, an increase
of nearly so per cent. He has
the same amount of increase for
succeeding enrollments as the

Under the new Law the great
est increase in pay was for the

private is now in the band,

that which provides that any

SO SAYS s. R. THOMAS,
MISSOURI MINE INSPECTOR.

Macon, Mo-, Aug. l0.-R s.
Thomas, Coal Mine Inspector Of
Missouri, has a fixed belief that
longevity and coal mining 20 to-
getber.
"You never hear Of coal
Miner having consumption, "
said Mr.. Thomas, ''unIess he
contracted the disease before he
went into the pit. And even
then he finds the peculiar prop
critics of a coal mine beneficial
TO his lungs, and he often be-
comes we'll and strong by reason
of his work under the ground.
''We have a number of hardy
miners in Missouri who were
taken into the pit in the old
country (Wales) at 8, 7and s
years to act as trapper boys.
These youngsters kept steadily
at work until they were promot-
ed to be miners assistants aud
then regular miners, and thrived
nightly under conditions which
in most trades would retard
their development-I mean,
beginning work at that early
age.
sit seems as if Providence had
given health TO the miner as a
recompense for the hazard of his
calling. Nearly all of those who
manage to dodge falls Of rock,
breaking cables and other dang
ers incident to the craft live to
a green old age. They not only
live, but keep at work.
at would surprise Doctor Os-
Ter if he knew how many men
far past 80 were yet working in
the mines at Bevier. Uncle
Johnnie Griffith, who died a few
months ago at the age of "a,
worked in the pit from the age
of Z until a year before he died.
He began as a trapper boy in
Wales, his father carrying HIM

"His last work was in mine 81
Of the Central Coal Company,
near Bevier, and be made a full
hand every day for three years
after he was 80. With the ex.
ception Of a short time that he
ran a hosting engine Mr..
Griffith had practically been in
the pit three-quarters of a cen.
turY,"
Mr.. Thomas has made some
research at Bevier, the largest
coal camp in the State, and finds
that there are there a number Of
men who have been at work for
half a century and more In coal
mines and are still vigorous.
"And here's another thing, y
remarked Tom Williams, vet
eran who had to abandon the
pit some years ago owing to
fall of rock, "vou never hear a
miner puff and blow when he
runs. His wind is as good as an
athlet's. HIS lungs are sound,
although coated thick with coal
dust.
NEARLY everybody at Bevier
burns coal for all purposes, be-
cause it is cheap. Most other
towns in these parts use wood
for fireplaces and heating. Now
in time the tops of the Bevier
houses become coated with coal
SCOT from their chimneYs, and
the rain after falling on the
roofs passes into the wells and
they drink it.
"a Bevier family doesn't like
water unless it is caught that
way and goes through that pro
cess; that's the only kind Of
water tastes good to 'em. Why?
Because it has properties that
kill pneumonia and typhoid few
er germs.
cts an absolute fact that
people don't have such maladies
when they use water caught in
that way. I've lived among
them a lifetime and | know
that. i can't give the scientific
reason for coal SCOTS beneficient

there's no earthly doubt that it
has such influence"
