PLAGUE AND CLEAN STREETS

For the benefit of those who must
leave Porto Rico, if not those who live in
San Juan, 1t would be something of a
convenience It the bubOnic plague, which
has long been with US, could be stamped
out. Just when the last case of plague
was discovered and where we do not
know, but Porto Rico is still looked upon
with suspicion by other countries and at
New YOik passenger ships are required
to stop at Quarantine although travelling
from one American port to another.
Possibly the plague could be stamped
out more quickly and more certainly if
living conditions were not made so at.
tractiVe for the rate4 In San Juan. at
least, there is no high cost of living for
the rat. There is a great deal of the
city constructed so as to harbor rats and
great quantities OF food garbage. it is
sometimes called is left in the streets,
There is either an inadequate number of
garbage wagons to keep the city clean or
else there is a degree of Indifference on
the part OF those who work on these
wagons that does not tend to the good
health ct the community.
Just how general is the custom of not
cleaning the streets is not known hut
frequently in various sections of the CITY
1t is not uncommon to have the fact re
ported that there has been no garbage
removal for two, three or four DAYS.
Not ~infrequentIy the appearance of
streets is the best evidence of the fact.
Dirty streets are about the most un-
pardonable thing Of which a city may be
accused. They not only give a s~Iovenly
appearance to the city but are a constant
menace to the health. And the health of
a city is somewhat more important than
its appearance.
San Juan with a little effort might be
made a spotless town. Porto Rico Pro-

AN MAN.

The Youths Companion" relates
that travelling mar visited a certain
small town and sold the proprietor of
its general store an order of jewelry.
When the jewelry arrived it was not
as represented and the merchant conse-
quentIy returned it But the wholesale
house nevertheless attempted to collect
the bill and drew a sight draft on the
merchant through the local bank, which
returned the draft unhonored.
The wholesalers then wrote to the
postmaster, inquiring about the finan-
cial standing of the merchant, and the
postmaster replied laconicaIly that it
was O. K BY return mail the whole

reply t ey received.

The American Red Cross Annual
Roll Call takes place from November
IL to November 24-From Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving Day.
There are many who do not realize
tina this Roll Call is practically the
only method by which the Red Cross

There are many who do not real
ize that on the average more than
half of the funds raised by the Roll
Call remain in the local treasury to
carry on the work Of the Red Cross
in the local community.
Practically 90 per cent Of the
local work Of the Red Cross has to
