Clean Up, the
Tourists Are
Coming Soon


DIR. j. E. Douglass told us today at
noon that the council at its meeting
Sept. ordered circular letters to be
printed and sent to all property own
ers telling them to clean up the weeds,
rubbish, etc.
The city has done a great deal of
cleanup work recently but many
property owners have not cleaned up
their premises.
Have you received your notice yet
to clean up? If not, it surely will be
coming soon and will be brought by
the city marshal. Now wouldn't it be
much better to clean up before being
compelled to do SO?

HEALTH INSTRUCTIONS
THROUGH DRAFT BOARDS

Washington, D. c., Sept. 23.-Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder today
called attention to a circular Of in
,structions prepared by the United
States public health service for regis
trants declined in the draft because
of physical disability. The circular,
copies of which have been placed in
all the local draft boards throughout
the country, is the result of a recon-
mendation made to General Crowder
by Surgeon General Rupert Blue of
the U. S. public health service. The
surgeon general points out that in the
first draft about one-third of the men
examined were rejected for physical
disabilities and that hundreds Of
thousands will be added as a result of
the examinations to be made Of the
new egistxants " -
1T is highly desirable, I said Sur
gean General Blue, chat the men
found to be disqualified for military
service by the examining physicians
of the local draft boards should re-
ceive definite instructions as to the
meaning of their disabilities and that
a strong appeal be made to them to
correct these disabilities as far as
possible. But the object of this meas
ure is not only to reclaim men for
military service or for such service as
they can perform, but to lessen the
burden of illness and disability among
those engaged in essential industrial
work. 1t is hoped that the instruction
in this circular, which is really
primer of the physical defects of the
nation. will reach far beyond the draft
board and be utilized by all agencies
interested in improving the public
health to instruct the people with re-
gard to their physical deficiencies and
the ways and means by which they
can be remedied."
According to the U. S. public health
service experience everywhere shows
that the proportion of persons with
physical impairments is considerably
greater in persons between 80 ard, 40
than in those between 20 and 80 years
of age. This waning vitality at ages
over 80, so commonly accepted as in
evitable, can be postponed to large
extent. In this connection. it is point
ed out that go per cent of the physical
defects found in the last draft were
of a preventable or durable nature.
In addition to furnishing all the To-
cal DRIFT boards throughout the coun-
try with a sufficient number of the cir
culars to supply one to each registrant
rejected because of physical disability,
arrangements have been made to fur
nish specimens of the circular to life
insurance companies, fraternal organ
izations, labor unions, employers of
labor and others who desire to reprint
the circular in its present official form
| for wider distribution.
