CLEANUP DAY
THOROUGH AND
LEGAL AFFAIR
Sanctioned By Government
and Necessary In
Time of War.
PATRIOTIC CITIZENS
WILL PROMPTLY OBEY
Board of Health Will Make
Inspection a Few Days
After. Cleanup.

Cleanup Day has been ordered to
be observed by proclamation of the
Mayor, the Cleanup Committee and
requirements of the Board of Health.
The Government compels perfect
sanitation in the camps, because it
has found that disease is greater
enemy than even the Hun. The Citi-
zens of Covington will find that j;
will amply repay them for the
trouble if they enter heartily in the
plan to clean up. Those who do not
will be prosecuted by the Board OF
Health for. violation of its ordi.
nances. The day has been set apart
to give every one an opportunity to
comply with the order, and to assist
them in complying by having the city
carts call at each residence and haul
away the trash and garbage without
cost to the resident. This would he
a considerable item of expense, other
wise.
Put your trash out so that it may
be seen by the driver and it will be
taken away. Old cans and refuse OF
all kinds should be deposited in this
trash receptacle. Then, If you are
loyal to your town and wish to have
it appear trim and clean, buy some
paint and paint old fences, and if
you can possibly afford it, paint your
house. The qualification you will
get from this will repay yOu-more
than repay you. Then to preserve
your health and leave minimum
chance for disease to find its way
into your home, get good dis;n-
fectant-"Pinexo" is fine-and thor
oughly disinfect premises.

skilled men. Delay in the several
states in completing the occupation
al cards precludes a resort to the
cards to secure these men and make
it necessary to improvise a tempo
rary plan for the purpose. About
10000 men will be needed in the
near future which We propose to get
by voluntary induction under the
following plan.
2. Herewith enclosed, is list
Of occupations of men who are need
ed now. Under separate cover we
are sending you sufficient copies to
furnish five to each Local Board
within your jurisdiction.
3. Will you please give the Wild
est publicity to this urgent call. A
column on the front page of every
newspaper in your state could we'll
be devoted to this purpose and
headed Nations Want Column
Qualified registrants should be urg-
ed to present themselves to their
Local Boards This office is without
an appropriation to pay for this adj
yeftising, but the patriotism Of the
American press is relied upon to ala
in every way in their power.
4. The military duty and train
ing of these skilled men will be in
teresting, and the men who succeed
in securing induction into the branch
of the service to be filled will receive
material personal benefit, which will
aid them in advancement both in
their Army career and in after life.
). 1t is suggested that you make
use of bulletin boards throughout
your state, on which should be placed
copies Of teh enclosed list. This
would doubtless result in a large
number Of applicants presenting
themselves to Local Boards.
6. InductiOns must not be made
at this time, however. When regis
trants present themselves to their
Local Boards, they should be listed
mot inducted), and on April 18th
Local Boards should notify your Of
flee of the number of men who have
volunteered for each Of the different
occupations. This information should
be compiled in your Office, and a
wire sent to this Office on April 80,
giving the total number of vOlun-
teers who have presented themselves.
Z. In the occupational list, en-
closed herewith, code word is given
each occupation which should be
used in your telegram of April 80.
