Il
No doubt all of the citizens of this
town are desirous that Hays become
one of the cleanest towns Of Kansas
This cannot be accomplished by a few;
but few can make a town dirty one.
The condition of the streets and alleys
of this city cannot be seen by one walk
ing along the street, but one who
drives over almost every street and
through almost every alley, can very
easily see this. Many people throw
their ashes and tin cans into the streets
or alleys. 1t Is all very nice to have a
nice, clean yard, but wouldn't it be far
better, to select a small spot in your
yard for the purpose of putting your
ashes and cans, than to scatter that
same refuse over whole alley. These
ashes often contain nails, horses step in
them, and autos often have tire trouble
from them. The throwing of wash
water is also a great nuisance, this
water freezes, and makes a slippery
place, causing horses to slip and fall
Is there no other place except the street
or alley for refuse? G. G.

Cure Hof ChoIera-

The word "cure" is seldom used in
connection with hog cholera. Why?
Because of the frequent failures. But
we use the word 'curs' and guarantee
that B. A. Thomas Hog Powder will
cnre 80 hogs out of 100. The record to-
day is little over 95 out of 100, so we
guarantee 80.
We don't care what others may
think or say. We know what we are
doing and viii sell you B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder, guaranteeing that it will
save 9 out of 10 hogs. 1t is medicine
straight medicine. It is because it's
straight medicine that it cures 95 times
in 100 G. W. Meyers, Hays.
