"They are going to close up on Coro-
nation Day--the Thursday previous.
That is all right, but all the coronations
we celebrate win not add a dollar to
the community, nor help clean up the
town, but a single day given over by
the citizens to clean up, will eradicate
chances of disease getting foothold
and that one cleanup day may means
thousands and tens of thousands of dol
lars to us.
The Chinese and Japanese have en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion
with enthusiasm. A large number Of
the Chinese firms have signifiei their
desire to assist and some have loaned
wagons, others carts, Others drays, and
some handcarts. Others will loan

Manoa Valley Campaign.
The Manoa Valley residents have re-
ceived the following circular from the
special "Clean.up" committee:
"You have undoubtedly been inform
ed through the medium of the news
papers, or otherwise, that the Gath in
slant has been set aside for a general
Cleanup Day.
"The undersigned were appointed by
the Manoa Improvement club commit
tee to handle the Manoa district, and
will be commissioned by the board
of health to act on that day. 1t being
the duty of this committee to send a
requisition to the Central Improvement
Committee for all labor and supplies
necessary to make an effective clean
up in the valley on the Gath, its mem
bers went over the ground and made an
inspection of all premises, the better
to be able to decide what would con-
stitute an adequate reqaisition.
"The committee found many places
containing unsanitary conditions, and
have thought it advisable to thus cir
cularize the residents of the valley be-
fore the day of the cleanup, with the
view to having each resident thorough
ly go over his property and endeavor
to eliminate all unfavorable features
which may lay his property open to ad-
verse criticism by the committee to
headquarters. If this be done by each
resident, it will materially facilitate
the work of the committee and its help
ers on Cleanup Day. and will prove
a lasting benefit to the resident himself
as well as to his neighbors, especially
if he should continue to keep his prop.
city in sanitary condition.
GA few suggestions may be helpful
to some and we presume. to make them:
f'See to it that no places which are
apt to collect and retain water are al
lowed to exist. Such places are result
ant from such causes as:
"Leaking water taps.
"Tin cans and other containers.
"Holes in the ground which could
easily be filed in.
"Choked rain cutters, etc.
eff it is necessary that water be
kept on the premises, see that it is not
allowed to remain for more than one
day without being renewed, or if it be
in a water supply tank, see that the
tank is properly covered.
''See to it that your plumbing is in
good order; grease traps cleaned ont
at least once month and cesspools
properly covered and kept from over
flowing. Have no leak running into
your cesspools, as the constant appli-
cation of water is apt to render them
unfit to properly drain o1t.
keep your CABBAGE and swill buck
cts covered and frequently emptied.
"Where dry toilets exist, it is very
important that frequent applications of
lime be made, and that they be not al
lowed to remain too long in one place
without being thoroughly cleaned out
or filed in entirely and removal to an
other place effected.
A thorough inspection will be made
of your premises on the twenty-fo.rth
instant, Cleanup Day,,o and it is
hoped that no unsanftary conditions
will be found therein.
"Yours respectfully,
