GARBAGE AND HOW
To DISPOSE Of II.
DeIivered,by Mrs. Nm. Kellogg
at the Civic Meeting of the
City Federation,

Sometimes We reserve the best
subject until the close Of the pro-
gram, but this time we did not do
SO. Garbage! Can you imagine any
subject less inviting?
But even though cit smells to
Heaven" It's a subject We must con-
slider
In larger cities the problem OF
handling garbage is easily settled
the city attends to the matter just
as it does to lighting the streets and
furnishing the water; and in time we
hope our city may come to have its
garbage system just as it now has
its water and sewerage systems
But / think we will all agree our
city is in no financial condition to
take up this matter just now. We
have grown rapidly during the past

Overloaded Stomachs Make Poor

Health is a state of normal, spiritual.

That is the assertion Of authority With
the stomach overloaded with food that
sours and is hard to digest the blood is
loaded with the sour acids and gases, the
head aches, the nerves are shattered,
bowels disordered, and i'll health reigns
supreme.
Can one be pleasant, industrious, cap

two years and our water, sewerage,
streets and schools are constant
drain upon the rather slender re-
sources OF the town.
What then can be done to. obviate
this garbage nuisance? For no one
disputes the fact that like the poor"
our garbage is always with US. =
Even in the midst of winter-when
the snow has kindly mantled even
the rudest objects in Clearly robe,
We are painfully conscious that our
heap of ashes, tin cans and yege
table refuse is constantly growing;
until by House cleaning week" it
looms veritable mountain-to dis
figure our back doorways and change
the very face of nature along the
street, For 10! as you look from
your own to your neighbors yards,
you see-"garbage heaps to right
Of you, garbage heaps to left of you,
and only too plainly garbage heaps
in front of you Then l want you
to recall with what a sigh of salts
faction you saw the city team and
wagon with it's driver arrive upon
your street and one by one the OBJ
noxious heaps were gathered into
the wagon, and the place that knew
would know them no more. But
indeed that's just what | can't say
for by the end of the very same
week a small spot which had been
cleanly and bare, and now comes the
really terrible part of the garbage
seanson, hot weather, and flies!
These add a thousand fold to the OBJ
nervousness of the heap. Not only
the senses of sight and smell are
greatly offended, but the very health
of the family and community are
jeoperdized.
For-humming gaily by thousands
the flies of the good old summer
time" collect about the garbage piles
they find food ready to hand and of
their liking and the worse condition
the heap is in, the more attractive
it is to the common house-fly. Now
then-it has been proven over and
over by scientists that the common
house-fly is a deadly enemy of the
human race-in as much as they are
the constant bearers of germs, of
such fatal diseases as typhoid fever,
consumption, diphtheria, yellow fever
plague, and in fact any disease which
is developed from a germ. 1t has
been proven that each fly has upon
its feet and legs something like
$4,000 hairs which exude a sticky,
Shiny fluid and upon their feet the
deadly germs just mentioned which
are left in small colonies upon every
object upon which the fly alights.
Now don't you think it high time
that the intelligent people in each
community began to wage war on
the fly? And this common fly whose
species by single fatal foot print
can kill a man, lays 100 eggs, which
period lasts days and the pupa

cans and our kitchen refuse-for we
cannot all be as successful Cbeing
dependant upon servants to do our
work. as the woman who was able
to burn all her garbage. Then what
can we do with it?
In all cities where there is a reg
ular garbage system each household
is obliged to own garbage can.
This is a galvanized iron can which
holds perhaps a half barrel and has
a fitted cover. At certain intervals
man in the employ of the city.
calls with vehicle containing watts
into which the garbage is emptied.
And if one is careful to keep the
can constantly covered and little
lime on hand to sprinkle in now and
then-and the can is thoroughly
cleaned frequently-this method
proves a satisfactory solution of the
problem.
But as our city is not able to take
up this matter, why could not as
many house keepers as are inter-
ested in doing away with the insight
ly and unsanitary refuse heaps of
old, try this system in a modified
way.
Each one might purchase her own
garbage can, provide a barrel or box
(out of sight in which to throw
cans and broken dishes, and collect
ashes in a place as far as pos
sible hidden from sight. l am sure
if any number of persons would fol
low this plan, a man and team
could be secured to empty the cans
regularity and at stated times the
boxes or barrels This man would
be paid a regular fee from. each
household. If g large number en-
ployed him the fee would be but
small one for each, and most of us
would be very glad of this oppor-
tunity.
The garbage can costs about $500,
but is guaranteed to last a life
time and after this first expenditure
the system need be but little eX-
pense to anyone.
One word more-If any member of
the City Federation would like to
help in getting such a system start
ed as l have just outlined, if they
will give their name, or any other
ideas they have on the subject, to
the Civic Committee, it will help
materially in starting off this pro-
ject. Further, when it has proved
practical the store keepers and bust
ness men would no doubt be glad to
cooperate in the plan, and perhaps
by this means some of the unlOvely
sights on the river banks in the
business section, could this be done
away with forever.
Let us hope this or some other
plan may soon be adopted and that
all our back door-yards shall be so
clean that we will any of us be will

period 5 days Gin all 10 days. for
the new generation to leap into
full, active life.
Then in a single summer one pair
OF flies viii produce II generations
or a total number of billions of flies;
which the mind cannot grasp.
Now you have. some idea of the
magnitude Of the war which is be-
fore US and which we must sooner
or later fight to the bitter end. There
are several ways of exterminating
flies We may kill them by means
of poison, or fly paper or blow,
but by far the more effective way
is of starving them out of existance
For if no food, or but little could
be obtained by the common house-fly
it would perish for lack Of nourish-
ment, even as human beings do. Al
so the refuse of the stable, is the
place above all others in which the
common house-fly deposits her eggs.
No other place is ever chosen if the
refuse from the COW or horse stables
can be found by the female fly. Now
if this is so and every man and Wo-,
man in the community could be in
formed of it millions of flies could
be destroyed by the burning of these
piles, or the spraying of the pile
with cloride of lime or other antisep-
tics, until it was possible to remove
and destroy them. If we can deprive
the female fly of having a place in
which heat and moisture will de-
velope her eggs-we have commenced
to win the fight. If, besides this, we
can screen all waste products of ami
antiseptic treatments of such pro.
ducts, we can soon hope to destroy
this plague of the Goth century. And
now having talked a bit about the
danger from the house and barn re-
fuse lying about us let us see if
there is anything in which we can
continue healthy and sanitary con-
djtiOns about us, for if we wish these
conditions we must surely take care
of our garbage heaps. First l would
lay stress upon these things, keep
your ashes in a separate pile and
keep your tin cans and broken dish
es in barrels or boxes.
Then in your kitchen collect all
bits of garbage mot used to feed do
nestle animals) such as parings and
scraps and having poured off all
liquid possible, burn them in your
range. If you wish to do so and
still not disturb your heat, add them
at the back of the stove, where they
will quickly dry and can be pushed
forward into the fire box. I once
knew a woman whose kitchen con-
tanned no refuse pan or pail as she
burned every bit of garbage she col
lected at the close of each meal
Then if your ashes are kept sep
erately the city workmen will call
for them at intervals and use them
in the filling of low spots upon the
river banks and streets. But our

 For June

The weddidg march will fill the land
 And the quail will get to pipin' The Muse will rouse the village band
 And Patten's wheat will ripen. The old self-binder will come out
 And sing a feW sweet stanzas, And the college graduate will shout
 And hit the trail for Kansas.
 Come out with Us at harvest time, when the sickle sings at moving, when the rosei is blooming in the field, and the breath of June is blowing, when the golden har- vest ebbs and flows in updulating pillows, and the water boy Is fast asleep, down where the grass is green and deep, beneath the shady willows.
 There's nothing like it anywhere upon the earth or over, the air is fresh and fragrant with the sweet breath of the clover, the birds are singing operas. and the poultry is a stunning, and the old familiar dinner bell sets everybody running, There may be men in Marathons that run mile a minute, but it's a question Ii St. Yves or Long boat would he in it, if he were working in field, though. many times a winner, and a bunch of t.enty harvest hands knocked of U 90 to dinner.
 The meadow lark will chirp and and sing, and the bumb!e-bee will humble, the colt will do a High and fling, and the tumble bug will tumble, the calf will buck and jump for joy of simply being loose, the droll grasshoppers sit around ana spit tobacco juice, the luckl7ss tramp resumes his march and the bulldogs chase ana. bite him, and horseay iritates the mule, and so ad ininituln.
