has there been such universal unrest nor on the other, hand such unity of lpurpose. ParadoXical as this may seem it is true.
 For the past generation there has been gradual evolution and the dawn of a new order of things-of life-is breaking. God planted in the Garden of Eden the "Tree of Knowl- edge" the Human Dynamo of Life. For these many thousand years this tree has been sending it's roots down deep into human thought, that it might withstand the storms of ignor- ance, indifference, indiscretion and prejudice, until now its branches are beginning to grow and spread and protect In the light of new dis coveries many lives are being saved and there is unrest at the existing conditions or environment under which people are compelled to live and the steps being taken to correct them bear witness to the unity of purpose on the part of all good men and women.
 Arkansas has never experienced such sanitary cleaning as she is now getting. People have come to know the value of prevention. Since mod ern science has revealed the source or cause of many diseases their preven- tion has become SIMPLE and PRAC- TICABLE.
 Conway is now undertaking to ap- ply the remedy. There are only few principles involved Every city or community should have an adequate, wholesome water supply, proper sew craze and garbage disposal, proper housing, drainage and control of do- mestic animals. Nature has richly endowed Conway and all these re- quirements can be easily acquired. Water Supply Do not imagine that because water is clear and sparkling and free from bad taste and odor that germs. Recent examples are found in many cities and towns in the Ozarks where the springs bubble and sparkle with cool, delicious, APPARENTLY life giving water, which show on ex- animation that they are receiving contamination from both human be- ings and animals through surface and sub-drainage As result much ty- phoid is now resulting
 The most preferable source of SUD- iply is from deep wells, but where water is secured from springs or streams, the water sheds should be so carefully guarded as to receive no contamination from man or beast and especially man, and in case it should be contaminated, it should be properly treated. Cisterns or surface wells are always more or less danger ous in thickly populated cities or towns. Cisterns are apt to receive disease bacteria from the dust from the roof and the wells from surface drainage and seapage. Remember also that ordinary Altering of water does not relieve it of objectionable bacteria.
 Sewerage. Nothing furnishes so serious problem as the proper dis posal of sewerage. Conway has it's sewer system, however, and everyone in the district should be compelled to connect as soon as possible. All resi- dents outside the sewer district but within the corporate limits should be required to install immediately some form of sanitary closet. The prefer able type is a chemical system as the Waterbury, Hawkeye, Auto kem-Clo, and others. The minimum require ment must be the dry bucket closet so constructed as to render the con- tainers water tight and fly proof. If this type is constructed, it will be necessary to employ scavenger to remove the night soil at regular in- tervals. It is only when this type has constant, intelligent supervision that it is satisfactory or acceptable.
 Garbage. The disposal of garbage should be simple matter. The pres ent system of carelessly throwing garbage, including table waste, tin cans, rags and other unsightly things in the back yards, alleys and on other premises and often in the street, should and must be stopped Every household provide means for dispos- ing of it's own garbage. Incinerators are now made that may be attached to the cook stove and all refuse burn ed with the same heat that cooks the meals, or an old stove or oven con- structed with a few rocks or bricks may be placed in the rear of the prem ises and there is always sufficient paper and trash waste to cremate all garbage. Tin cans should be placed in proper receptable and removed at intervals. As matter of precau- tion they should be punctured several times before being disposed of
 Stables, hog pens and poultry yards often become a nuisance. Hogs should not be permitted in any in- corporated town or city Poultry
