An organized campaign among 600,0O0 won ,n of the United States for better supervision of the nations health will be SC. on foot this fall It's purpose is to put into effect bet te. provisions for safeguarding the health of the individuals the country over.
 The woman back of it is Miss Susanna Cocroft, we'll known health expert of Chicago, who will appeal first to her hundreds of thousands of women followers, and then through them to the nation at large.
 The big idea of the movement is to establish local free, government laboratories in which physicians and others concerned with the peoples health can have medical tests made by competent specialists. Health bulletins, written in language the people can understand, are also to be distributed. The movement is not directed against physicians. On the contrary, it is expected to aid them

In his proclamation inviting and urging cooperation of all citizens in the clean ID campaign, Mayor Bloom closes with this vigorous language;
 "All persons who do not remove garbage and trash, and cut and re- move weeds, will be prosecuted by the city sanitary officer That's the stuff
 The citizen who is So careless that he will jeopardize the health of his neighbors deserves nothing better than to be haled into court, and punished with fine and the atten- dant publicityt.
 There are ;ndications that Tuesday, July %, will be a genuine clean up day in Pine fluff. The City Fedora tion of Womens clubs, the City Beau tiful club. the East Pine Bluff Civic league, the chamber of commerce and the city authorities are working to- gether, and this should insure the full co-operation of every resident. But if it doesn't, there's the law and the mayors promise to see that it is enforced.
 There are numerous lots in Pine Bluff owned by people perfectly able to keep them in sanitary, condition, which are over-grown with weeds and constituts menace to health besides being dsagreeable to the eye. Get after these careless ones, and compel them to discharge duty to the com munity; compel if they will not do so voluntarily.
 The worst months of the summer for Pine Bluff are yet to come. A general clean up now will reduce sickness in August and September.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
CLEAN UP!

The home and It's surroundings is an outward expression of the char acter of it's occupants. The back yard is good indication of what you will find in the bed room No mat ter how humble the home. if it is clean and neat, it is attractive, for the same reason that no matter how poor mans clothes may be, if he is neat with all his poverty, he will not be unbecoming.
 As you go around the city you will find little homes that typify all that is desirable in home life. It may be only cottage, with its walks. it's flower beds and its garden, the vines carefully trained, the trees pruned, the house painted, the fence in good repair, the gate with a latch and you conclude that this man is a man of thrift, and he is. You would natur- ally expect to, find bank book some- where in the house, and the house as clean as the yard And you would, for bank books come out of we'll kept houses.
 On the contrary, if you find an air of neglect and decay, the fence falling down., the. walks. full of weeds, the garden ;unplanted. chickens running around loose, and general, air of don't care about the place. you con- clude that this is a home without thrift And it is. Inside such a house you will find dirt and disorder hold ing forth from cellar to garret, and you don't expect to find a bank book therein, and the chances are you won't

Dirt accumulates. The winter in dolence finds expression in the ash pile, the junk heap and the back yard. All over the land cities have been having a clean up week, when each citizen has been urged to de- stroy all rubbish, remove all winter accumulations and clean up general ly. It is a most excellent idea; but homes and cities like individuals need constant cleaning to keep them sweet. The eye needs constant washing to keep it from injury. The body needs constant attention to keep it wholesome. The back yard needs constant wedding. hoeing, digging, to keep it presentable. The front lawn needs constant moving to keep it green land fresh. Life is one long battle with dirt-an endless fight, but only as the fight goes on continually can we win out.
 clty'S outward appearance adver- tlses the character of the inhabitants as effectively as the home surround ings index the spirit of the indwell- CTS. In the development of cities, and tle caring up TOT DettefmentS, there must be minor disturbances to the orderly arrangement, but there is no reason why every town should not be a spotless town and every home the essence of order and cleanliness. The home that is neglected is the home that has begun to decay Your neigh bors will G.not see the inside of your house half as often as they do the outside. and they will judge the in- side and you by the looks of the out side. Therefore, clean up, and keep cleaning up, for thrift is applied good management; and good mana cement applied to little things is thrift. You first, then your home, then your city. Clean up.

GIVE THE BABY A CHANCE.

Bad air, bad milk, over-crowding p6pfty, dirt. ignorance, heat-these combine in summer to kill the city baby. It seems as though the brun' of the cities sanitary sins were focused on the baby.
 The baby didI't ask to come to live in hot, dark, air-tight room, to be fed on dirty, half spoiled milk, to be pestered with flies and mosquitoes He is not responsible for any of these conditions and it is his right that he have fresh air, clean surroundings and decent food.

in giving them expert assistance.
 Tn outlining the proposed campaign Miss Cocroft said: "We need gov- ernment laboratories in which ade- quate medical tests can be made by men who should devote their lives to the study of this problem. We need headquarters to which every physi- elan, every individual who has to do with the health of others, can go for definite authoritative information.
 "A man with a sick hog can now get expert information from the gov ernment, but man with sick child is absolutely without help from the nation."
 Miss Cocroft has recently been in conference with Senator Ransdell chairman of the United States Sen. ate Committee on Public Health, anc with Dr. Rupert Blue, Surgeon Gen. eral of the U. s. Public Health Service, which is already doing effec. tive work for the suppression of dis ease.

The farmers of the county should be preparing 10 take advantage of tht federal farm loan act recently passed by congress and signed by the presi dent, says , the Beaumont (TeXas) Enterprise The appointment of the members of tthe federal farm loar board the organization of a fedora farm loan bureau of the treasury d : partment and of the twelve fedora land banks will take time during which farmers desiring to borrow money on easy terms, at reasonable rates of interest and on long tim. may busy themselves in forming the national farm loan associations, sub sidiary to the land banks, for which also the act provides.
 Through these associations money can be borrowed on first mortgage at a rate of interest yet to be fixed, but which will not, in any case, exceed 6 per cent per ~annum, and for term of years varying from six to thirty six years at the option of the bor- rower These mortgages must be on the amortization plan. by which al part of the principal is paid up every six months. Authorization may be explained as the gradual liquidation of the debt by paying small portion of the principal every time the inter- est is paid. Thus, if man borrows money at per cent, payable semi annually and with each interest pay ment pays also 1 per cent of the principl his debt will be extinguished in thirty-six years. On $1,000, for instances, he would pay, sem-annu- ally, $25 of interest and $lO of the principal and by the end of thirty six years of such semi-annual pay me1ts of S35 he would have eXtin- guished the entire debt.
 A little calculating will show that the borrower under the amortization plan of 5000 at per cent per an mum, if he adds per cent semi-annu- ally for amortization will have paid in thirty Six years $2,520 and have liuuidated the debt. Under the simple interest plan he would have paid $1,S0O ia- interest in that time and still have the $1,000 of principal to pay, or $2,S0O in all, difference of $2S0 in lis favor, to say nothing of the convenience of paving the debt so gradually and habitually that he has not felt it. Add the difficulty of procuring q farm loan for so long time and tt an easy rate of inter- est. and the advantage becomes ap- parent. He Would have to borrow it for shorter time and every time he HbepSea Sap Extension he would pave commissions, fees and other charges to pay which would make the total paid in that time still greater.
 To be sure, the borrower must con tribute pc. cent of the face of tn . loan to the capital of the land bank for his district, but the amount will
