DO IHIS EIRST-Y0NI

. You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a worn-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, making oil
food in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe Scott's Emul-
sionaftersickness. Nurseseverywhere
advocateit it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

BE CAREFUL IN USING
SOAP ON YOUR HAIR



Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified eoeoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseess. 1t s very cheap,
and beats tne most expensive soaps or
A-ything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abun-
dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

COMPETITIVE CUP.

Last season the New England Com
mittee offered very attractive
sterling silver loving cup standing IS
inches high with base, as cham
pionship trophy, to be competed for
annually by New England cities and
towns taking part in the CleanU Up
and Paint-Up Campaign.
Hartford, Conn, won the cup last
year and under terms of the contract
has it's name engraved on the cup
for one year only, when all cities
and towns in New England have
another opportunity to compete for
same.
For a community to obtain per.
manent possession OF this cup 1t is
necessary that they win it three
times. Each community competing
for the cup should fill out and send
to the New England Committee a
prize cup contest blank, giving full
detailed information in regard to
their campaign. Governor Mccall OF
Massachusetts Is Chairman of Com
mittee of Judges having in charge the
awarding OF this cup. This commit
tee has been instructed by the New
England Committee to take into con-
sideration the size of the community
and award same to the community
who does the best work in proportion
to its population. thus giving large
and small places an equal chance.
In addition to this large cup, the
New England Committee is offering
a smaller cup to be competed for by
small towns having a population OF
less than 5000 This cup will be-
come the permanent property Of the
town winning same this year.
Many cities and towns have already
Indicated their intention of competing
for these cups this year and there IL a
great interest everywhere.

In a National way 1900 American
cities and towns held Cleanup and
Paint-Up Campaigns last year. and
are enthusiastic over the results OBJ
tanned. New England, the past three
years, has done a work in these cam
paigns that has helped to make
brighter and more attractive cities
and towns throughout this territory.
Every citizen of every city and town
is asked to participate in this civic
pride movement. 1t Is really wonder
full how the people have responded to
the appeal to civic pride. 1t is due
to the fact that everybody realizes It
means brighter and more attractive
cities and towns. less danger from
fires, makes a demand for real es-
tate, enhances its value, acts as a
powerful influence for good on both
young and old, and helps the au-
thorities in their work Of sanitation

THE good work accomplished in
Boston has not been confined to this
city alone. 1t has spread to every
city in the state, and beyond" and

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP!

MELLOW CITIZENS: Let us get together and
make this town of ours the most healthful and
most inviting in the State. To do this we must
organize our forces, map out plans and get to
work. Other cities and towns throughout the United
States are finding the efforts along these lines are
bringing excellent results.
If would have a healthful town we must clear
attcs cellars stables, Sheds yards Streets alleys
and vacant lots of trash dirt, junk filth, garbage
rags, cans, bottles and weeds We must empty toilets
heaps, drain barn lots fill up mudhoes
and Shiny, ill-smelling ponds open cutters, repair
streets and burn rubbish
Then must use soap and scrub brushes brooms,
rakes and shoves We must throw lime freely about
toilets and stables. Why? Because disease germs
and germ-carrying insects, especially flies and mos
qutoes, breed in filth and spread typhoid and con-
sumption when they enter our living rooms aght
food, or bite us while sleep.
After the dirt is gone we must repair our buildings
and fix our fences-and then lay on the paint!
Paint everything that needs it, inside and out for
paint is the best known preservative and its brighten
ing influence will make the duest town in the world
look spick and span.
Of course when we buy paint and lime we put
money into the paint-deaer's and lime-deaer's
pockets But if we get sick and die the doctor, drug
gist undertaken, sexton and tombstone man take our
coin. Most folks would sooner spend theirs on
paint and lime-take your choice
Come on, now, folks Let's call a meeting, form
Clean Up and Paint Up Club composed of men,
and children, and get on the job! The prize
is worth it-health and happiness
