SANITATION IS A MATTER
OF COOPERATION

COOPERATE With
The neighbor on each side of
you; the neighbor behind you.
RESULT:
A clean neighborhood.
A clean ward.
A clean town.
Get the Cleanup Habit!
WRAP ALL GARBAGE
All garbage should be wrap
ped in newspapers after each
meal and placed in your gar
bage can. Then flies cannot get
at it, and smells are prevented.
Flies are deadly. They are born
in manure and live mostly on
garbage. One of the flies which
has been crawling on garbage
or manure may afterward walk
over baby's milk bottle nipple.
The millions of germs that it
may leave upon it may produce
severe illness in the baby. If
you have not a baby some of
your neighbors have.
The Weed Family have been
with us all summer. They give
tourists bad impression. Cut
them down-clean up the va

BRINGING TIE WAR HOME

Now that Germany has extended her
policy of frightfulness and brought
her U-boat warfare to the coasts of
this country, there should no longer
be any American unwilling or unpre-
pared to do his utmost to settle, once
Tor all, this diabolical and iendish
power.
If Germany had deliberately sought
for method which would DO more
to stir this country and bring it to its
senses and to a resolution to gather
all its strength, she could have found
no better means than to have sent her
submarine to prey off of the ships of
our coast. The sinkiog OF American
vessels almost within sight of our
coast line, by German submarines is,
or ought to be, sufficient proof to any
American that we are not safe from
the ravages Of war even though we
are removed 3,000 miles from the con-
ilict.
The presence OF German submarines
off our coast is a positive challenge to
every American. President Wilson's
proclamation calling for enlistments in
the War Savings army on or before
June 18th offers the opportunity for q
good rOuSing American answer to that
German challenge. The National War
