WAR ON TRASH OPENS
Commissioner Porter Offers Sugges-
tons on Cleanup Week.

This is the morning that all good
soldiers will open up with their big
guns on all dirt in yards and cellars
for it is the first day of cleanup week.
Boys and girls will be called on to
help in this mighty battle and they
are expected to play leading part in
the battle on tin cans, rubber boots,
slightly things which litter up the back
yard and make it look ugly.
After the house, cellar and yards
have all been charged upon for dirt
the city clean up men will come
around and gather up all the trash
so that there will be no chance this
summer for sickness from filth and
dirt in the alleys.
Commissioner Porter issues some
helpful hints as follows: Get all the
rubbish out of the cellars. Rake the
back yards thoroughly. Clean out the
corners. Lovers of chickens see that
your chicken yards are cleaned for
the health of the chickens depends on
this condition. as well as your own.
Burn all the trash and rubbish that
will burn but watch the fire to see
that it does not spread to other prop
erty. Pile all tin cans or other arti-
cles that will not burn in a heap at
the edge of the alley where the tin
can gang can get at it easily and
quickly for the gangs will not go into
the yards after the trash. Don't pile
your ashes in he alley for the tin
can gang will not haul them away"
The commissioner wishes all citi-
zens to know that his tin can gang"
will not start this week sut early next
week to make the collections in the al
leys. This will give a full week to get
the rubbish in shape to handle quickly.

They Find 1t Better Than Internal Med
icines For Group and Cold
Troubles

In the South everyone uses Wick g
Vap-O-Rub Salve for all forms of cold
troubles. But when it was introduced
in st. Joseph. Mo-, for the first time,
last winter, the local druggists natu-
rally were skeptical. They did not
believe that Group could be relieved
in fifteen minutes just by rubbing
with Vap-ORub, or that colds COM
monty went in one night. So ar
rangements were made to present a
number of ladies with complimentary
jars of Vap-O-Rub on the condition
that they give it a thorough trial.
Here are the reports from these ladies'
Mrs c. L. Haden, 1909 8. 18th St,
says-"Last winter / had a dreadful
bad cold on my lungs, with a tight
bad cough. l rubbed Vap-O-Rub on
two nights, and the next morning my
cough was loose and lungs better.
relieved neuralgia with it in one night,
Just by rubbing my jaw and putting a
little on the tooth, and ironing it in
with hot IRON
Mrs. Sam House, 1906 Prospect Ave,
reports-''My little daughter had Dip
iberia last fall, and every little cold
she takes settles in her throat. Dur
ing one of her bad spells last winter
my druggist sent me a jar of Vap-O-
Rub. l used it four nights on her
throat with such good results that now

used it on myself and husband for bad
