 sewer system and urged the wc-
 men of the club to take up the mat

 article
 Another interesting and instructive talk was made by b. H. Burtis on the
 unpoetic subject of plumbing and san Itary arrangements in general. Mir Burtis also touched on the needs for a sewer system. If we do not get a sewer system" he said. within a very few years this city will have an epi- demic of one sort or another It can not be avoided. Build system and dispose of the cess pools. If it is found impossible entirely to get rid of all the cess pools. substitute septic tanks for them. The vent pipe in all cess pools should be high in. the air so that disease germs may be carried away. and not on a level with the ground as some of them are"
 MT. Burtis said that the way to build house is to design the bath tub and then erect the house around it. "The bath tub should be kept spotless.' he continued. and I might add. if you wish to patronize the plumber and make him independently rich. use Turkish towels till they are all worn nrf h. lf,,. .I. the pipes and make the services of the plumber necessary and frequenN,
 Mir. Burtis "demonstrated' the use of circulatory boiler and also of kitchen sink Both of these necessary articles of the household he had with him. They were placed on the stage and their uses made plain.
 The musical program consisted of a vocal solo by Mrs. l., r Dameron. IT was Jocelyn's Lullaby" by Gounod Mrs. Dameron was accompanied by Miss Schmidt of the school of music.
 The meeting was of exceptional in- terest and one of the most practical in its usefulness given this year. It was arranged by Mrs. w. w. McNeff, chairman of the department of house. hold economies. The hostesses were Mrs. Ella Fickas and Mrs D. II. Bur tis.
 The address by Dr Stone was as fol- | lows:
 When I was asked by one of your ! members to give you twenty minute | address on the subject of Home Sani- | tation. I did not at first see how I :, could do it, first. on account of time to arrange the paper, and second, to give you anything that would be of real worth in so short a time, It is not alone the individual home and house we must consider. but anything that affects the home affects the na ton: for certainly home sanitation Is indirectly the nations sanitation Great epidemics start from some one | source and spread. To start with, it | Is first endemic. not epidemic.
 '1 desire to call your attention with |, In the time allotted me to a few. only. | If the salient points in connection | with this subject The first I would | mention would be. in the order of their | importance. Personal Cleanliness: 2nd. | 3rd. The House Proper. ! cleanliness need only to be for who can expect to be healthy if their body and clothes are not clean? The i'll effects of careless ness m personal care not only breed disease but are a fit resting place for many germs of greater or less viru- ence All of this can be obviated If We would use plenty of soap and wa [ CT.
 The second subdivision of import ince we have termed Surroundings t requires a little more consideration Or although possibly as important as personal sanitation and care. it is more lost sight of. Dampness of soil is now recognized as one of the most fruitful sources of pulmonary ! roubles as well as malaria. Tn large .ities. with well kept streets. where hey are not only swept daily but flushed from hydrants. the sources of troubles are to be found nore in districts closely and even lensely populated. where the amount If fresh air is reduced per capita to a minimum. In a city like our own the greatest of danger lies in our unpaved treets. which al present is not only an yesore. but a disgrace. Of this I wish o speak a little later on. The odor If decaying vegetation. slops in recep- acles left uncovered for flies to feed lpon and then escape into your own lomes or the homes of your neighbors re some more of the unhealthy condi-
