GIVE YOUR COMMUNITY A
 cIrAN.UP M DAY THIS SPRING

Community cleanliness not oiiiy h'- ,..os community intelligence and en- s' s.rurise. it also insurea community s.a1th. " Conditions in the streets s sed alleys do not of course bear so in sm.te relation to the health of a - .;r.n family as do the conditions i, the home. But disease breeding s,.h in q nearby-or even distant all sy may produce the same evil effects M.t result from insanitary conditions 1 in the home.
 While decaying refuse in an alley nav itself be to all appearances ln- ,.nable of exerting it's noxious infiu- ences beyond short distance, yet we now know that there are numberous ,geucies that are prodigiously effective in spreading disease germs that oue their origin to rubbish heaps. The common house fly is not only hatched in these heaps but he is also tho most industrious carrier of the dis ease germs that flourish under the same conditions that produce millions of his kind.
 Moreover, as most of the food of the household-groceries, fruits and mTk-are delivered at back doors, the exposure along the route 1t travels through unpaved alleys lined with l garbage heaps and often so muddy as to be almost impossible must make it anything but appetizing to a person of imagination.
 It is not difficult task nowadays to arouse a community to a proper ap- preciation of sanitation in the dairies and the grocery stores that supply it's people with food; but oddly enough the same community, having assured itself of purity at the places of origin, does not follow it's food to it's desti- nations. It 1t did so it's inconsistency lndemanding cleanliness and sanitation at one stage of the journey that its food must take and not at another or all, would be at once apparent. Neglect of this kind is due largely to nablt rather than indifference.
 Viewed from the standpoint oe health alone, community cleanliness is good investment, one that will pay larger dividends in money-to say nOning Of happiness-than any other the community can make. A healthy S0mmunlty IS not only 9 prosperous s0nmunty, but it is happy, generous and progressive.
