within the town limits, and the Board OF
Health expects to correct these conditions.
The waste which is to be collected dur
ing Cleanup Week should be burned in
a manner which will not interfere with
the safety or comfort of our neighbors.
Smouldering piles of rubbish pollute the
atmosphere, and it is our duty to see
that we burn our rubbish in a safe place
and with as little discomfort as possible,
to ourselves and our neiRhbors.
Our local stores should also take ad
vantage of this opportunity to clean up.
especially those engaged in the sale Of
food products. The floors of these stores
should be sprinkled with water or moist
ened saw-dust when swept; means should
be provided for the exclusion of flies
cheese, bread, cakes and candies should
be placed in suitable cases to exclude
tiies and dust; vegetables and fruits should
be kept in covered receptacies; perisha-
bic food stuffs should be placed in re-
frigerators. These are but few of the
required changes which should suggest
themselves to the conscientious distribu-
tor of food products The local milk
dealers can do much during this period,
to clean their barns and COWS, to provide
proper means for the disposal of manure,
and thus protect our milk supply from
contamination.

The interest of the smaller committee.
in Cleanup Week seems to have beer
stimulated by the popularity of such peri
odical campaigns in our large cities. As
a general proposition, the public under
stands Cleanup Week to mean period
of concentrated effort in refuse disposal.
1t would seem that the human race pre-
fers to follow the path at least resistance
to mental and physical labor and there
fore we neglect to do the things which
outwardly appear to be of minor import
ance. Dirt and refuse accumulate rap
IDLY, resulting in conditions which be-
come offensive to our senses. We recog-
nize our surroundings to be unclean, and
are stimulated to remove the offending
material which we call dirt. We gener-
ally understand dirt to mean foul or
filthy substance Of any kind, but in real
ity dirtis matter out of place.
From a practical and economic stand
point let us consider the advantages to be
gained by removing this matter which is
out of place. Firstly, dirt properly re-
moved, safeguards us against preventa-
bic diseases, and secondly, the removal
of rubbish diminishes the fire hazard. IT
will be appreciated that the storage of
useless infammabie objects, aside from
filth, greatly increases the
risk of FIRE. We may therefore accept
the direct advantages ofa Cleanup Week
to be the prevention of diseases and FIRE,
and our next question is, What and
how shall we clean upl"
The main object of Cleanup Week is to
improve our conditions of living so that
diseases may be minimized. |

lren and we must recognize that a town.
S not healthful unless it is clean. Mil-f
ord is not clean and we must make it |

Refuse will be collected in considera-
lie quantity during this week and unless
. is properly disposed of, this movement

reat need of a system for the disposal
refuse. Instead of providing for the

| percentage of dust is scattered by the or
binary broom used in sweeping. Moist
ened paper or sawdust, when strewn over
the floor, will prevent dust from being
moved about from place to place, espec-
ially from floor to throat. The various
sweeping compounds now on the market
are intended to overcome the sins of the
broom. Usually, these compounds con
sist of colored and scented sawdust sat
urated with chemicals, such as calcium
chloride, which have the ability to at
tract water and thus keep the sawdust
and collected dirt moist While these
compounds are very useful, the price de-
manded often operates against their en-
ployment. Moist sawdust, however, will
accomplish the purpose even if it is de-
VOID OF the attractions of color and odor.
Cleanup Week is of vital Importance
to the community, especially as regards
prevention of disease, and destruction of
property and possibly human lives by

agents for destroying disease germs.

RECRUITING IN LONDON
Striking Ways of Enticing the Brit

Striking Ways of Entcing the Brit
isher to Enlist
Many and various are the ways in
which Great Britain is securing men
for her army The lot of the youth
who has not donned the khaki is not
an easy one. He is attacked by pret-
ty women and plain women, old wom-
en- and young girls, who one and all
question him as to why he has not
ioined the colors. His eyes are as
sailed by pleading or peremptory
posters. and his ears with the drone OF
the bagpipes or the Tilt of the horns
as the recruiting bands march through
the streets.
These bands collect how and where
they can. They are to be seen all oY-
ed London marching stolidly along,
while little groups of men and beard
less lads follow them and are finally
piped off to the recruiting stations
with never a word spoken. The would
be soldier merely falls in and the next
thing he knows he is being examined
and questioned by army inspector. If
he passes the requirements. he speed
lily becomes a khaki clad soldier and
buckles down to hard work.
The most interesting feature of the
new recruiting campaign is the num-
Der and variety of the posters. They
change from week to week, almost
from day to day. About twenty de-
signers and writer's are at work upon
them in London alone.
The London of gay theatrical and
other advertising posters is thing of
the past. Almost all the available
space is used for recruiting bills, and
of these there are large posters for
fences and small ones for shop win
dows. and particularly brief ones for
taxis. buses and motor vans.
The tersest one is the Join Now!"
