CLEAN UP YOUR PREMISES.
Report Of DR.. John G. South, Pres.
State Board Of Health.

Whereas a careful study of the Off
cial returns under the Vital Statistics
Law. for 1915, about an average year
shows that So per cent. of all sickness
and Al per cent. of all deaths occurring
in the state in recent years are from
diseases that could be prevented by
health officers and doctors if they
could get the intelligent cooperation of
all the people. a large part of them
from what are known as fifth diseases,
caused by an almost criminal ignorance
and carelessness, even in the best
homes and schools.
The tax levied upon us each year. in
loss of time, medical, drug and nurses
bills and for premature funerals, are
greater than all the taxes paid into the
municipal. county and state treasures.
In view of this fact the State Board of
Health has named and set apart the
period beginning on Monday, May sth.
and ending Saturday, May 18th as
Clean Up Week" and the County
Health Board urges every family, teach
er and other owner or occupier of prem
Uses to gather and burn or remove all
refuse from their premises, especially
in the back yards. Place your refuse
in front and the town will have it
hauled OIL.
Now is the time 10 look after your
garden house and replace them with
Septic Tanks. Sand, cement and rock
will cost you from $1,000 to $500 ow-
ing to the size. If you are not ready
to build Septic Tank, the County
Health Offer urges that existing gar
den houses be boarded up at the back
and sides and lids be made for the seats
so as TO make them fly-proof and guard
against chicksn ms. etc.
The County Health Officer has been
before the Council asking the Council
to pass ordinances regulating this
source of infection and the City Attor-
ney promised the Health Board that he
would meet with them and draft an
ordinance regulating cess-pools and

or all the ailments that affliet hu-
manity, chronic dyspepsia probably is
the most common. Its causes and
characterizations are many. Skilled
specialists have been unable to cope
with this almost universal malady,
hut Mother Nature. in combination
with skill and chemistry, has ccm-
pounded in her exhaustible laboratory
a marvellous remedy for this trouble.
The. symptoms of this common dis
ease, which is only a forerunner of
more complicated maladies. are many.
Belching after meals. frequent nau-
sea. pains in the region of the stom-
ach, and tired feeling. are only a
few of the indications. Dyspeptics
become listless, then morbid. are mel
ancholy over trivial things. have
whimsical ideas, besides physical suf-
ferings, and with appetite gone. sleep
ftful, dizzy spells and frequent nsu-
sea. life hardly seems worth living.
Tanlac was designed to check this
condition. and to restore
healthy. normal appetite, bring good,
restful sleep, and Danish that tired,
nervous feeling-in short, to restore
the stomach to the labit of doing a
full days work and doing it well.
Tanlac. the ideal reconstructive
tonic, is being especially introduced
in Lancaster at X. Z. McRobert's,
where the Tanlac man explains its
merits and the results that can be ex-
pected from its use.

YOUNG FRUIT TREES COMING TO MArURIry.
TO raise variety Of crops in the or.
chard. Even after the trees are in
bearing there win he little harm in cul
tivating vegetable and flowers be
tween the rows, provided care is shown
in working the land. Raspberries and
currants will work nicely in this scheme
for n few years and perhaps perma-
nently. Beans and peas are excellent
crops to raise I'm an orchard, as they
pay well, are good nitrogen gatherers
and do not Interfere with the roots OF
the trees in ordinary cultivation.
Bushes and crops OF all kinds should
be kept a few feet away from the
trees.
Apple trees will thrive and do well
on almost any soil which has had good
preparation, but different kinds Of soil
require different treatment Loamy
land is naturally rich In plant food.
Hence 1t will require little II any ma
nuring In its preparation. But It should
be deeply stirred and thoroughly brok.
en- up by subsoilng This loamy earth
is what may be termed free soil. as 1t
seldom becomes compacted.
A clay soil. Is the most difficult TO
prepare and often requires manurlng
as well as thorough blowing and sub
soiling. 1t should also be frequently
stirred during the summer and espe-
cialy as soon after each rainfall as
possible TO prevent il from baking and
becoming compacted This becomes
even more important in seasons of long
droughts. Persons putting In large or
chards will do well TO study the sub
ject OF dynamiting the ground. espe-
clally II the soil is heavy. Sandy land
IL generally lacking in plant food.
An elevated bit of land Is best for
fruit, but while a gentle slope is rec
commended a steep hillside is not de-
sirable. Good results usually follow
from spring planting. apd the young
trees may be either one year or two
years old.
