 plieation of remedy wherever he finds an evlI.
 City Not in Good Condition The report of the sewer commis- sioner to the city council at it's last meeting was if anything not a re | port to cause reorganization. He reported the whole city to be in very bad condition as regards santa ton, and that Chihuahua hill and Dubacher canyon were nothing but | trash heaps of all kinds of filth and rubbist and tin cans. Sewer Com missioner Perry was empowered by the council 10 employ an extra force Of men and start a cleanup cam paign, collecting the tin cans, which | have market value, and report at the next meeting of the council as to what progress he has made. Sev- eral fines will be enforced to let the people know that there is an ordi- l nance and that 1t must be obeyed
 For a Cleaning Day
 It has been suggested that the city name an official cleaning day and urge every person in the limits of the city to make a thorough clean. ing of his premises. After that it is suggested the sewer commissioner make a tour of the city and if he finds that anyone has neglected to clean up, such cases be punished.
 Stables in Bad Shape
 The condition of stables in and around the city has caused some com plaint and it is likely that the city health officer will force more sani- tary conditions in this respect.
 A health publication has the fol lowing to say regarding stables as source of disease:
 Many good people having stables fail to realize why the health de partment is so insistent about their maintaining proper manure boxes | ~" - ---l~ CT c-E ,aiSn against tAe Iy successful We must have the earnest cooperation of all stable own CTS. It is our aim to practically eliminate the fiy from this commu- nifty. Flies nearly all breed in ma ] nure. The moral is, keep the ma | nure away from or render it useless ] to them as breeding places. Once | out in the open. field and properly l composted. the danger ends. It is at the stables that q watchful eye must be kept. Our people should 1 look over their stables carefully at | once and see if they are in a condi- | ton which will render them free l from flies. No great expense is in i vOlved in this matter. A catch-ba, l sin half dry and a manure box i'm l properly constructed and improperly ! kept, are conditions that4 cause foul . stables and countless flies.
 Result Inevitable
 With great indignation the people . will deny that they favor unsanitary . conditions. like flies in their butter | or milk. but yet they do. unless their | stables and premises are clean Talk is cheap and the world recognizes it, but a visual object lesson tells it's own story Stables and premises : proclaim the kind of owner they have. II people are fair to their families and neighbors they will see that their stables are as clean as they can be kept and report to the health department any unsanitary condition upon their neihbors prop erty.
 After a stable is built, all that is necessary is a few minutes work every morning 4 manure box open or full of cracks is no box at all An unwashed stable and dry catch basin means a useless sewer. People should keep the manure box fly tight, see that no cracks are visible and that the lid fits snug. Empty it at regular intervals and see that a vheelbarrow full Is not ! scattered around and left on the premises. A shovelful of manure will , breed thousands of flies. Look into your catch basins once a month and shovel out all manure and rubbish Turn the hose on the floor at least twice a week and see that the catch | basin is always full of water. for it is here that the bad OdOrs arise, | if the latter gets half dry or wholly | so. In far less time than it takes { 10 write this you can put your sta ble right. Observe these precautions ! and the keeping Of sanitary stable is easy and simple
