Spiritual Housekeeping" DR.. Fifer
slid "is suggested by the care with
which certain telephone companies
prevent or remove the causes of un-
satisfactory service. The removal of
grains of dust from the diaphragm of
receiver or transmitter is an example
of conduct for the home, the city, the
State and the personal life. Dust
grains almost microscopic impair
communication, hinder business and
lead to irritation, if nothing worse.
Trivial things blight many homes and
cause domestic tragedies
Careless Dress Is Evil.
"Tipplings, deceits, fiirtations, slight
encroachments upon modesty proph-
esv ruined lives and broken household
circles. Small extravagances impej
embezzlements. Moral and financial
bankruptcy dates back to a white lie

mise with an enticing temptation
Lack OF censorship over stage scenes
and moving pictures results in ruin
Of virtue or the beginning of violent
crime. Indifference to civic affairs or
neglect of inefficient administration
permits the rule of the corrupt and
the unpatriotic.
Spiritual housekeeping is civic
honor and commercial prudence No
business fourishes upon inefficiencT

eler No city prospers upon wages of
death or agreements with hell. a
saloonless city multiplies savings ac-

Beware of Petty Things.

ments will make progress after cities
are cIeansed. The practical, common

tons is housekeeping according to
spiritual standards. DA \ocracy will
come to rightful glory when it keeps
house in sincere and determined de-
VOt0n to morality.
so long as certain evils are per-
mitted to have political power there
will be slovenly civic housekeeping,
In the largest meanings, without
bigotry or sectarianism, spiritual
ideals are absolutely necessary for
