URGES TOWN CLRAN-UPS


(By DR.. A. R. Lewis, Health Com
missioner.)
Favorable sentiment toward heal
thy living and better health cohdi-
tions has grown until now nearly
every town and city in the state has
its regular annual cleanup. But it
remained. for an enterprising little
town on the east side to strike the
keynote to health protection and the
"City Beautiful" Realizing that an
annual cleanup would no more suf-
flee for a clean city than would a
yearly bath for a clean individual,
this town appointed three commit
tees, each committee composed of
three business men Of good judgment.
These committees have sought and
been granted authority to act as
guardians Of the public health. They
will make monthly inspections more
often if necessary, of the milk and
meat supplies, all restaurants hotels
and soda fountains; look after the
sanitary conditions of the streets, al
leys and backyards. They have
gone about raising the standard of
public health in the right way, know
ing that a continuously clean town
requires continuous efforts and vigil
ance.
Now is the opportune time for city
officials, women's clubs, churches,
mems organizations, and similar
bodies to get get together and formu-
late cooperation plans for gener-
al cleanup and to appoint commit
tees to stand sponsor for the public
health of their committees during
1922.
If every city, town and community
in the state would fall in line and
inaugurate such a health movement
and consistently carry it to a finish,
1922 would stand out in history as the
year in which Oklahoma was placed in
the front ranks Of public health i'm
provement and the period during
which her sickness and death rate
propped to the minimum.

TAKING. A CRACK AT THE
G DYER ANTI-LYNCMING BILL
Two Oklahoma Congressmen Voted
For Measure According 70 Records


Under date of February 4, at
Washington, on the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee Of the House
Of Representatives, sends out the
following statement
mo one who understands the peo-
pie Of Oklahoma believes that they
will endorse the action of those Con-
gressmen from the State who voted
for the infamous Dyer Bill, know as
the Anti-lynching Bill. One of the
provisions of the Act lays a fine Of
ten thousand dollars on any county
in which a lynching occurs, and this
money goes to the family of the black
brute upon whom some poor girls
friends and neighbors have taken
vengeance. The law makes no pro-
vision for the victim of the black
brute. Pringey and Gessman voted
for this outrageous bill, the original
purpose of which was to coddle the
twelve thousand negro voters in
Dyer's District. Chandler Of Okla
homa was in the House when the vote
was taken but he did not vote. The
women of Oklahoma should cut this
out, paste it on the front of their
kitchen cupboard and leave it there
until election day, next November"
