Chance FOR THE BOOSTERS
CLEANLINESS AND SANITATION
VERY IMPORTANT.
Falls City Greatly in Need of Pub
lie Toilet and Rest Rooms
Ear-Mark of Culture.

One of the ear marks of culture
and social progress is the provision
made, both public and private. for
the care and comfort of the body As
people become more refined they also
become more thoughtful. Natural
delicaey compels them to provide
conveniences not dreamed of by their
less refined forbears. ltsfoIto~~s 9en
that the toilet facilities of a city of
any size are fair index of standard
of culture of the citizens.
1t cannot be said to the credit of
Falls City that we have practically no
public conveniences of this kind.
There is no place in town where
ladies and children can retire to rest,
or for toilet purposes. that is entire
ly open to the public. There should
be rooms conveniently located and
maintained at the public expense,
where visitors could at all times re-
tire for privacy and rest, and to at
tend to their physical wants.
Such a place would be a great re-
lief to tired shoppers, especially to
those from the more distant country
districts. 1t would also tend to re-
lieve the congestion in stores on
busy days, as women and children
have no other place to wait, and are
compelled to hang round the store
rooms, to their own mortifie alton
and the hindrance of business. 1t
would also be in the interests of
cleanliness, sanitation and good NOR
ais. Falls City needs a rest room,
and needs it badly. Who viii ,.aft
the ball rolling? And who will
help give the good thing a boost
