SIREN TO SOUND
FOR SANITATION
Power Station Whistle to be Sounded
Every Saturday Morning
Reminder to Clean Up.

Arrangements have been made
whereby the whistle at the Electric
Light Plant will be blown every Sat
urday morning, at nine o'clock, for a
period of five minutes, to notify
everyone to see that all premises are
in sanitary condition, and that all
cans, barrels, tubs or other water
containers are removed or rendered
free from mosquito breeding. In this
way it is hoped to keep before the
public the fact that they have a large
share in the work Of the cooperative
malaria campaign in this city, and
that without their cooperation ii will
be impossible to control all mosquito
breeding.
Mayor McClanahan made a trip Of
inspection with Sanitary Engineer
Komp on Wednesday, and expressed
himself as highly gratifed with the
progress Of the work The main city
drainage bitches are being cleaned
out. and many bad ponds have been
eliminated by drainage. Close watch
is being kept on the numerous gravel
pits in Columbus, to see that no
mosquito breeding takes place in
them. No great difficulty is anti
cipated from them, as they are pro-
tected against breeding by large num-
bers Of small top-minnows, which are
the natural enemies of the wiggletail
Mosquito breeding SO far is very light,
due to the cold and wet late spring
and it should be easy to put every
thing into fine shape before the hot
season, when breeding normally be-
comes heavy. 0iling operations will
be started in few weeks, to care foI
those places which cannot be drained
Don't forget that the little black
mosquito that bites in daytime all
summer breeds principally in tin cans
and small containers near houses, anC
that in order to be free from then
such possible breeding places must bt
destroyed by the householder Co.
operate with the health authorities
for it will mean increased comfort
for you and your neighbor during the
coming hot weather.

THE H. c. l..

The II. c. L. has had rough sailing
at the Mississippi State College for
Women this session, and almost a
death blow has been delivered to the
common enemy.
This condition is revealed in figures
compiled by Mr.. H. f. King, secretary
of the college, showing the cost of
board and other expenses. at the col
lege for the session now coming to a
close.
Mr.. Kings report shows that the
average cost Of meals per day for the
session has been the remarkably low
figure Of 40 cents. This is the total
and entire cost for three meals.
The total cost per day Of actual ex-
pensc to the students has been 62
cents day. This includes board,
fuel, lights, repairs to furniture, wa
ter ana laundry.
The average cost for each student
has been $3.50 for the entire session
for underclass students and $148 for
Seniors. The difference in cost ia
Seniors being accounted for by the
fact that they leave college a few
days sooner than the other students
BY rigid economy and careful buy
ing Mr. King has saved the students
thousands of dollars. He has been
remarkably successful in anticipating
the market with the result that a
large and material saving has been
accomplished for the girls.
His management of the affairs OF
the secretary's office was the subject
of highest praise by members Of the
Board Of Trustees who inspected the
institution the past week.
