citizen to inform himself regarding
the regulations in his community
concerning these matters and to be
strict in his observance of them.
Rubhish. Earhage.-zesEsse sad filth
of all kinds are breeders of disease.
All garbage not fed to animals
should be burned up or buried and all
other rubbish should be hauled to the
town dump and there all inflammable
and organic matter should be burned
or buried so that the dump should not
become a menace to public health.
Community health requires that all
living within sewer district should
attach to the sewer and it would be
well if here in Julesburg the sewer
district could rapidly be extended
farther. Outdoor toilets are danger
GUS to health, but where necessary to
use them outside of sewage districts
they should be sprinkled daily with
chloride of lime. Any unsanitary
condition existing in a neighborhood,
caused by improper disposal Of gar
bage, sewage, dead animals, ETC.,
should be reported to the town health
officer who has authority to see that
such conditions are rectified.
A pure water supply, milk that is
handled under sanitary conditions
and fodstuffs that are properly hand
led and protected from flies are also
essential for the city sanitary, and it
is the duty of a community to super
wise and regulate these things. Flies
are carriers of disease germs and
should not be tolerated. "Swat the
fly" is good slogan, but better still
is the prevention of the breeding of
flies which can be accomplished thru
the proper disposal of garbage. sew
age and horse manure, their favorite
breeding places. Mosquitoes carry
malaria fever and may be disposed OF
by draining or filing up of pools OF
standing water or by sprinkling them
with kerosene.
Mrs. Hamilton concluded her re-
marks by urging the necessity Of con.
tnual publicity along the lines OF
civic health, cleanliness and beauty
and by recommending city cleanup
campaign and a contest to see who
can have the cleanest and most beau
tiful premises in Julesburg. 1t is
hoped that as result of this meeting
our town will soon be model Of civic
cleanliness and beauty.

CIDENT LAST SUNDAY

er, church worker and otherwise pro-

which occurred Sunday morning,
April 3rd, when Ford car which she
was driving turned over on the road
about a half mile east of the NJ. E.
Allen farm. twelve miles southwest
of Julesburg.
When the news of the sad accident
was learned, dark gloom was cast
over the entire community, and a
large number Of people hurried to the
scene to verify the shocking report,
which they found was true. Words
cannot express the deep sympathy
aroused. the news of this untimely
death coming like thunderbolt from
a clear sky.

with an incubator. Upon reaching
the road running east and west near
the NJ. E. Allen home, the car struck
rut with the result that Mrs. Ben
son, who was driving, lost control.
The car turned completely over, pin
ming Mrs. Benson underneath, with
her face to the ground. The little
girls were more fortunate, they es-
Gaping with only few bruises, and
managed to climb out from under the
car. Mrs. Benson instructed the
girls to go for help, as there was no
one near at the time of the accident,
half mile distant
When help arrived at the scene,
and the car lifted off of the unfortu-
nate woman, life was extinct. Mrs.
Benson had died from suffocation, the
top of the front seat and the weight
of the car having rested squarely
across her back and shoulders, placing
her in helpless condition, death re-
sulting in a short time. The body
was taken to the home, which only
thirty minutes previous had been
CHEEKY, when the wife and mother,
with the two children had babe the
father and other members the the
family "good-bye"-on their way to
Sunday school and church. The re-
turn to the home with the lifeless body
was a heartrending scene, not soon to
be forgotten by those who witnessed
it.

$1,000, 600 in Rents
Tied Up in the Bronx
Clogged Condition Of Municipal
Court With T'enant-Landlord
Disputes Blocks Relief

Nearly 100000 in rent money,
neither available for use by tenants
nor by property owners, is being held
in trust by the Bronx Municipal Court.
awaiting settlement of vast number
of rent disputes, it was learned yester-
day.
The court is clogged with more cases
than it can dispose of for many
months. Denis O'Sullivan, attorney, of
885 Brook Avenue, the Bronx, who has
handled many cases for tenants, said
yesterday that the outlook for both
tenants and landlords in the Bronx
promised no immediate relief.
Although the present so-called re-
lief measures at their advent" said
Mr.. O'Sullivan, Seemed to be rain
bow to the tenants of the Bronx, they
are only mirage ct best. and the re-
action from these laws is certain to
be felt all around"
The Bronx situation is further ag-
gravated because of the fact that the
majority of the Municipal Court jus
tees are now taking much-needed va
cations.
