CLEANUP DAY.

To Health Officers. City and County
Authorities. women's Clubs and All
parties Interested in Public Health
and Sanitation:
Public health Is public wealth. No
nation did or ever will prosper until
IL pays first heed TO the health OF its
citizenship. Health is the hand
maiden OF happiness.--Governor
James z. Ferguson.
March 10th has been selected as
the annual -Clean-Up Day" for Texas
The various city authorities and coun-
~ health authorities cannot easily
overestimate the value Of making a
united. determined effort TO clean up
the rubbish and filth that invariably
accumulaies during the winter months
and which continues TO exist during
the spring and summer. This danger.
Gus condition constitutes a constant
menace to the public health To I'm
prove sanitary conditions means more
than the mere identifying Of prem
Ises. ~Ciean-Up Day is intended 70
arouse in all people OF Texas a desire
to wand off diseases peculiar TO the
warmer months. as well as to guard
against those which. like tuberculosis.
are perennial In their destructive
ness.
/. therefore. call upon you nov TO DO
all IN your power officially and pri.
yaiely to rid our state Of filth and he
products. The weeds and old tin cans
and garbage OF every kind should b
given attention. not overlooking that
wonderful breeding place for the fly
the manure pile.
All sanitarians agree upon the I'm
portance OF sanitation as a preventive
Of disease. The cleansing Of Just one
day win not serve for the entire year
but II VII point the way 10 the time
when Texas viii constantly observe
all rules Of sanitation. The date Il
placed In the early spring in order
that the diseases Of Che warmer
months may BE- guarded against.
The -Clean-Up Day for 1916 prov
ed a great success many Of ths
cities and towns Of tho state ohscrS,

washington, June SWIM Official
returns of the ~selective draft registra-
ton coming in slowly to the War De-
partment, government officials are
satisfied that the total registration
probably will exceed 10000 00. Com
plete reports from seven states and
the District Of Columbia received at
the provost marEhal generals office
Thursday gave a total of S16,407 men
registered, as compared with their
census estimate Of 84S,917.
The estimates were based on the
census of 1910, to which the Census
Bureau had added it's estimate Of the
growth Of population for each section.
The figures, therefore, were not an
absolute criterion for comparison.
Pennsylvania registered almost a
hundred thousand more men than cen
sus estimates, according to figures re-
ceived by the War Department. Gov
ernor Brumbaugh reported the regis
tration Of $50, The census figures
anticipated were S79,3SS.
The War Department is working on
regulations for the second step in the
army draft, selection by lot of a pro-
portion of young men registered,
while the provost marshal generals
office was compiling data on the reg
istration.
It may take a week or ten days to
complete the nationwide tabulations.
Then the War Department will pre-
scribe rules for drawing names of men
who are to be examined before local
or precinct exemption boards and for
the composition Of these boards and
Of boards of review TO which those
drafted may appeal.
A call for a definite number OF
troops will be issued, each state will
be notified to contribute a certain
proportion and state authorities in
turn will determine allotments fol
subdivisions.
Officials noted that the returns
received so far indicate that more
than half of the men registered either
claimed exemption or gave facts
which might exempt them. The Wal
Department may issue a guiding
statement for boards of exemptions
but actual decision on each 8 will
be left to the local authorities. EN-
phasis is laid on the determination t
prescribe no class exemptions, but t
pass ON cases individually.
