How to Keen CITY Clean.

Baltimore has started Its war on
flies and mosquitoes. Over 10000
notices to citizens were sent out b
DR.. Nathan r. Gorter. health commits
sloner. The notice, which Is a good
one for every city or town TO take 70
heart, is as follows:
TO clean city and keep 1t clean Is
possible only when every one does his
duty. You will help to keep the city
clean by keeping your house and yard
clean.
Garbage-You will help to keep the
city healthy by not allowing any gar
bage to lie around your house and
yard, but keep 1t In covered reeepta-
cles.
Flies-Catch and destroy all files.
Begin now and keep 1t up during the
entire summer. One fly destroyed
now is worth thousands destroyed
later on.
osquItoes--Destroy all mosquitoes
you can. Do not permit water to
stand in vessels without a well=fitting
cover. Pour one pint of kerosene IN
priyy well every week. If you leave
your home for more than five days
pour a good layer Of oil on all water
traps. and turn upside down all empty
vessels exposed TO rain.

Now Is the time 10 begin the fight
against the houseiiy. For every ny
that you kill this month yon will re-
duce the fly population IN the summer
by several billions.

to say that fifty per cent Of the eggs
Matched will be females. Each female

is filth there the fly sUarms. The fly
which lights upon your lips may men,

flies that buzz about your kitchen or
your dining room may literally be
poisoning your food.
Absolute cleanliness around houses,
stables and outbulldIngs seems 10 be
the only solution Of the fly problem
offered by those who have made a
study of 1t. The 1y question seems
to be in reality dir question. No

the physical benefit the work vii Be
to the children, is the development OF
greater appreciation OF the beautI-
full. OF course for the plan to have
the desired effect, the parents must
also take an interest in 1t and give
some direction to the efforts OF the
children. Every boy and girl has 3
big store of energy, which IL directed
will prove of much value; left to take
its own course, 1t is often worse than
useless. So let everybody take an

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL IS, 1918
BEAUTIFY WESTMINSTER.

Our little city has great many
natural advantages. as 1t nestles Itself
among the green hills of Carroll. II
has an elevation Of about 300 feet
with fine surface drainage: Its main
thoroughfare well paved and COM
pactly built up. with fine residence
and business houses. It has churches,
schools, banks, telegraph and tele-
phone service. good water and gas
and electric lighting. L Is the seat
of Western Maryland College, which
overlooks the town from It's high and
beautiful location On the range of
hills on the west of the city. It Is on
the main line of the Western Mary
land Railroad and within one hour of
Baltimore. Its stores are large and
up-to- date. there being none better in
the state outside of Baltimore City.
Its hotels and boarding houses are as
good as can be found anywhere. and
are usually filled With boarders dur
ing the summer season. This. and
much more may be sad Of our beautl-
full and attractive little city.
Recently there has been organized
in our midst what Is known as the
Civic League. This league Is conduct
ed by some of the most prominent
ladies' of our town. and Is organized
for the purpose Of suggesting and
carrying Into effect such things as
tend to make Westminster more beau
tiful and more sanitary. This or
ganization of Indies deserves the SYM
pathy and cooperation Of all our eiti-
zens.
If our town Is to be At It's best,
making 1t pleasant for u who live
here. and attractive to those who Visit
us, every property holder must look
to the cleaning up Of his premises.
This Is the house=eleaning season
of the year, and II also should be The
town cleaning season. Our corporate
authorities should see u Il that all the
city ordinances on this subject. are
observed.
Let the ladies Of the Civic League
20 ahead with their work. and let all
our citizens fall into line With them !,
and let us see If we cannot make our
naturally beautiful city, even moro
ha.utEFYI aud attractive

as he started to question . witness.
He did nicely until he asked the man:

The witness stood stalk still star

ripple OF laughter throughout the
courtroom, but still the young attor
ney did not catch on and looking
toward the Judge. remarked:

witness until two o'clock to produce

Sir Henry Roscoe tells this of the
scientist Faraday and his assistant.
Sergeant Anderson: Anderson wa
the sole assistant to Faraday and of
course was utterly uneducated in scien-
tific matters, but he could obey orders
which Is not always characteristic of
an educated man. One day Anderson
was told by Faraday to keep stirring
q pot containing some chemicals over
q fire until he returned. Faraday being
IN the habit of going upstairs to tea In
his rooms and coming down directly
afterward to work in the laboratory
during the evening. For some reason
he was prevented from coming down
again and forgot that he had told An
derson to watch the pot On coming
down the next morning he found An
derson still stirring the pot. having

Homely and Aged Faces
Now Easily Beautified
(Aunt sally in woman's Realm.)


/ have seen the plainest women
made beautiful and the compilations
OF good looking women improyed-I've
seen oldish faces made young and
pretty, blemished and weather beaten
faces made spotless, white and satiny
in less than two weeks, by a very
simple and harmless process that acts
almost like a miracle. This is all
there is to it: Ordinary mercolized
wax, procurable at any drug store Zone
ounce will do), is applied nightly like
cold cream and washed OFF mornings
This gradually peels off the ifeless
particles of surface skin. permitting
the underlying skin to show itself
the newer, fresher skin, when wholly
in evidence, forms a complexion which
for beauty and youthfullness is incom-
parable with one produced by other
means. A complexion SO natural, so
free from artificiality, no one guesses
the secret of its requirement. You'll
not regret trying this really marvel
Gus treatment.
Equally wonderful is the famous
saxolite formula for removing wrin-
kles. One ounce powdered saxolite is
dissolved in a half pint witch hazel
Bathing the face in this Immediately
grasses the finer lines. Gradually even
the deeper burrows and crows feet
vanish completely.
