Presence of Visitors in City and
Health of Population Makes the
Going of Trash Imperative.

Three days of cleanup came to
an end with the ending of the day
yesterday No official account Of the
amount of work done was kept, but
the estimates given are nearly ac-
curato.
These figures are as follows: Three
hundred and eighty seven pairs OF
old shoes. eyeless and tongueless, re-
called; 3,846 undesirable tin cans,
gaping at one end from wounds made
with butcher knives, chsels and can
openers, partly filled with malarial
fluids embryonic mosquitoes and
narrowing details. collected and
marked with the stamp of disapprov-
al; 1873 wads OF decomposlng bill
poster paper, wrapping paper, news
paper and just ordinary paper. chalk
ed up as fit for elsewhere; 13 rubber
boots, old coats and 16 2-3 pairs OF
pants; stovepipes; 480 pieces OF
glass; 1870 old boxes. S96 pieces Of
wood; SO boards with inviting nails
to step on; SO green window curtains;
22 soggy mattresses; 8 glded frames

ing, coffee grounds. useless dishrags,
discredited mops, strawtCk filling

ton.
Wagons Start Tomorrow.
Tomorrow will the wagons of the
health department begin to go the
rounds, collect this stuff. and dump
1t into internal flame. They will keep
on going just as long as there is any
dirty heaps accessible TO effort, if II
be until snow flies. That is a mighty
good thing to remember.
Some folks in Tulsa did themselves
handsomely the past three days and
have nice, big piles of germy material
on the alley edge, while others ap
parently believe in millions for
health, but not one cent for cleanll-
ness" Anyway, Tulsa is "A whole lot
cleaner than 1t was a few days ago, !
and the program has just started. In
the cleanup, a barrel Is a unit Many |
IA barrel has meant dollars, but these |
barrel, a whoppng big box will do. |
Every barrel, or similar amount is |
good for a coupon. These coupons |
are just the same as health medals, |
only they are Of paper but they mean |
health and attractiveness
They will be given away all this
week. All you have to do is to hire |
somebody to fill the barrels. or you |
may fill them yourself. When you |
think about the state bankers con-
the opening Of the new hotel
and the coming May Festival you'll
probably desire Is or 20 of these cou-
pons. Nearly everybody's back lot
needs a toning up and a dressing
down.
