Physicians Of wide experience have men and women

physician who,c aid they seek Their breakdown is due
to the terrible load Of nnhysclosieal habits which they

There may be unhysenic conditions equally responsible

Fairmont Elks have taken serious hold of the civic
welfare work which the lodge has entered upon and
it is apparent from reports of what has been done that
the committee in charge means to concentrate at the
beginning on the sanitary condition Of the town. 1t
would be hard to find point where organization
like the Eks could be of real benefit to the COM
munity. The Civic department of the Woman's club
has done great deal of good along that line, but the
real trouble always has been that there was no follow
up" in the sanitary department. Only small percent
age of the remedial measures agreed upon have been
carried out What is needed is check on the orders
issued at City hall and the prompt dismissal OF city
employees who have gathered the idea that public office
is private snap and that they have to obey only such
orders as they want to get around to when the
picture shows and other personal interests permit II
the Elks can swing that they will be able to do some
thing no Fairmont city administration ever was able
to do, and incidentally will the gratitude of every
citizen who wants the he lives in to be as clean
