Public health restrictions and regula-
lions have reached the highly effective
state, wherein these lots have been cen
sored and Objectionable rubbish cans
containing anything perishable etc. are
tabooed; free dirt is not always OBJ

a property owner, pride too, perhaps in

tial citizen class, but whatever the

the knowledge that in community
where careful supervision, little ex-
pense and love of the beautiful has de-
veloped attractive homes your own

eye sore, bar to creditable commu-
nifty standard.
A house where lots are low, too often
means damp, unhealthy basement,
where so low as to require filing quite
often becomes a menace to health in
the hot seasons when it's attraction for
flies and mosquitoes make it source
Of contagion.
It is by far the safer and wiser plan
to be like he Of Biblical love, who
looked so well after elemental condi-
tions that his house withstood the
stress and changes Of the years. See
that your home are located in severed
districts, where you may be accessible
to sanitary equipment and have the
rndimentary facilities for healthful liv-
ing.

and to safeguard for you all of the
