TIME ALL
CLEAN UP
DR.. Gaines Writes
Timely Article On
Sanitary Issue

We read much these days about
conservation, the old saying is that
"Charity should begin at home"
why not conservation. What does
tits word mean? 1t means to pre-
serve, to guard, to protect; have
we anything in Wibaux to con-
serve? Yes there are many things.
but the most important, and about
the last to be thought of is our
health, and most especially the
health Of the public: personally
we keep ourselves clean, and use
other ordinary means and precau-
tions to conserve our own health.
and that OF our immediate families.
while at the same time there is at
our back doors, in the streets, or
near the we'll, sources Of the dead
liest poisons that exist in the form
OF cess pools, compost piles, un-
sanitary and filthy closets, and
dead and decaying animal and and
vegetable matter. Why not have
a thought to the conservation of
the health of our neighbor, and the
stranger that may be visiting with
in our portals and remove these
sources of filth, disease and con-
tagion. and place Wibaux in the
cleanest possible condition, and
make it the cleanest, and most
sanitary village in the state. We
have had no serious epidemics, yet
and have become lax in looking
after the sources of contagion, and
removing the same, but we will
have if the present Indifference
prevails, and after few of us pass
over the divide from u good dose of
typhoid fever don't you think it
will be little late then, and YOU
may be the first one, so let us be
mindful Of these things and get
busy and clean up, and clean out.
Again if we care SO little about our
health, what of our pride? There
are a great many strangers going
and coming these days, and what
kind of an impression of our habits
will they take away with them.
Come, all get busy, let the Chamber
of Commerce take the matter in
hand, and appoint Il day to clean
house and we believe that all will
heartily cooperate, as it is only a
matter of getting together and get
ting busy at the same time.

CHANGE THE VIBRATION
II Makes for Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, pota-
toes. coffee, and etc, and adopted
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach place once in a while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside food
OF low nutritive value and takes up
food and drink Of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable
of being quickly changed into good,
rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate Of pot
ash grown in the grains from which 1t
is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centers.
A few days use Of Grape-Nuts will
give one degree of nervous strength
well worth the trial.
