 Pupils of the Ellis Kindergarten One of the most Illuminating arti- clas on Public Health and Clean linnss" that has ever been presented before the local clubs was that pre- pared and read by Mrs. H. D. Evans al tral Arizona District Federation of Clubs. Mrs Evans is one of the ac- tive nluO women whose work is tell ing and whose interes; is made mani fest bv her willingness to cooperate on any of the many branches in which she is affiliated. She is espe cially interested in the topic on which she addressed the federation. In part, she said:
 AS a topic of general interest, the question of public health and clean liness which for centuries has prob- ably been gathering momentum. has only in recent years come into pop uiar notice Interferences with per sonal liberty for health reasons which would have seemed quite pre- posterous a generation or two ago, are now accepted as a matter Of course.

The time may come when 1 their jurisdiction may extend into the ! very house itself, and authorities will ! be looking into our ice boxes and cup boards and at the dust under the beds and tables.
 "A year or two ago, while waiting | for my family, in front of one of the stores in Mesa, not far from the main street of town, 1 counted twenty-five 1 old fashioned. out of door,. open cess pool toilets. and practically all were in most tumbled down. unpainted | unpleasant state, with all kinds oi paDer flying around and myriads ol l flies.
