Health Officer Ware
Should be Encouraged

Every housewife in our town
ought to give her heartiest COM
mendation and active. co-opera-
ton to our Health Officer. DR.. R.
M. Ware, in his vigorous effort
towards proper inspection of our
meat and milk supply. The over
sight of the food of her house
hold, it's wholesomeness and prop
er preparation is pre-eminently
within woman's sphere. A prop
erly fed race is an efficient race,
and the beginning Of degeneracy
lies in the food supply according
to the best scientific authority.
No doubt ignorance plays an
important part in this seeming
Indifference on our part in this
pure food fight; ignorance of the
lurking dangers in impure and
uncanitary supplies.
Intelligent information along
these lines would make US more
vigilant, not only of the supplies
from dairy and market, but of
sanitary conditions on our own
premises.
The doctors can only direct,
suggest and advise. To the fore
front of this movement must
come such a powerful sentiment,
such an aroused public opinion,
that our city authorities cannot
ignore the making and the en-
forcing of such laws as will prop.
erly protect the health of our
citizens and arousing men and
women to a desire for better
conditions.
AS housewife and citizen |
would lend my hearty endorse
ment to the effort our Health
Officer is putting forth along
these lines.

petition contained 1,075 names, but
many have been stricken off the list,
