alleys and streets and keep the

sed serious sickness or death TO
member Of your family or even OF
neighbor's family? That's exact
what old tin cans, broken bottl'
~ rubbish, etc, will do if allowed
Y Law around. There is but one al
wer to the problem, that is to
rid of breeding and harboring plac

care Of this but it is deemed more
visable to secure the cooperation
our people and in this way have
lief much more effective campaign WI
