Cody theatre in the afternoon, which
was fairly well attended and marked
by a spirit of enthusiasm entirely
incommensurate with the number in
attendance. Col. ]. NJ. Peterson,
commander of the 1O9th sanitary
train at Camp Cody, Capt. Gerhard
A. Bading, camp sanitary inspector,
City Health Officer N. +. Chapman,
City Clerk A. A. Temke, j. A. Ma
honey, A. Bamantia, president of the
restaurant mems association, H. l..
Wylie, Jas. .Carragien and others made
talks, those by the army men and
Mr.. Chapman being particularly
pointed.
Col. Peterson went into the sani-
tary question in considerable detail,
explaining how all cantonment cities
had found it necessary to handle the
matter with thoroughness never
before dreamed Of Deming's prob
lem, he declared, is a comparatively
simple one compared to that of cities
in lower attitudes, where standing
water and decaying organic matter
added greatly to the perplexities Of
the sanitary men.
Capt. Bading made n very husi-
ness-like address and impressed his
hearers with the apparent earnest
ness with which he has entered upon
his duties as camp Inspector He
called attention to the great oppOr-
tunity Deming has to lay perman-
ent foundation for the future by
building, in a legislative way, for
that future, in the way Of proper san
iiary and building laws, and de.
clared it our own fault if the op-
portunity now in our grasp is lost
Capt. Bading's utterances on civic
matters may he taken as those ol
an authority, for he served two
terms as mayor of Milwaukee, whosI
problems in that line have probabl,
been as acute as those Of any Othe
Of our great cities.
Mr. Chapman asked in particula
the help Of the women in effectinI
the cleanup, and promised that !
they would help him, through thei
present or special organizations tn
men "can all go fishing" He cred
tied his cleanup of Arkansas, whe
the newspapers of that state halle
him as "the man that took the Ka
out Of Arkansas" to the women O
that state. The milk supply cam
in for a keen denunciatiOn by M
Chapman. He declared that not a
inspected dairy was selling to Den
: ing trade This was one Of the fir
and one of the worst phases Of u
cleanup campaign to be handled,
said.
At Mr., Chapman's request May
Nordhaus named a special commit
to handle the weeks campaign. II

Cleanup week has not been
vain, according to Health 0fEc
Chapman, who declared yesterdl
the work has progressed better thl
he expected when the campail
against the fly V,ened last Frida
The spirit Of operation on the pa
Of the citizens generally has be-
very gratifying, he says, but n
unanimous, and there are still SOL
dirty premises about town, viii
are apt to hear from the departme
if not put in proper shape by I
end Of the week.
In addition to ordinary siaekers
