A Woman Who Helps Keep a City Clean

THESE sums amt what they used to be" said a driver who wal taking
a party of tourists through a large Western city. This used II

~ at the head of the Sanitary Commission, things have become cleaned

The stun part of that town was as clean and smiling IS N of It's

it vas all the result of this womans work. For the driver, admitted

It needs most careful watching.
Yet, because 1T has gone out Of the home and come under he iurs-
dicuon of that strange realm known as Politics, many believe that woman
should have no more to do with IT. And those who think this way would

IS being poorly done.
But that this is not to be the order of things, the example of this
western city shows. 1t is hard to batter down the walls of convention and

there are about 40 genera. chiefly from the

sores would spread from one place to

face would be solid sore. This con-
