tilential character, must be not only
removed, but be prevented from ac-
cumulating. The spring season is
the time when the greatest need for
a general cleanup must be the care
of the people of all grades of society,
and our homes are the places for the
work to be done. Naturally the win
ter season with it's bitter cold and
inclement conditions, is the time
when ashes, scraps of food and the
many sources for refuse find lOdg-
ment in yards, in the storage houses
and even in the homes. Clean not
only the house, but the grounds
about the house. Clean the yards and
also the buildings that surround the
home. If disease finds lodgment, it
will be largely through and by the
neglected accumulations of dirt and
refuse either in or about the homes.
Cleanup with broom and rake, but
do not neglect the soap and scrub
brush. Clean out the storage build
ings, but do not neglect the piles of
brush, or refuse that has gathered
during the winter season. Spread
Stacked lime in and around the out
buildings, to sweeten the ground.
White wash, or paint the fences and
outbuildings themselves; but, do not !
neglect to burn the brush and waste,
whenever it is possible. Remove all |
manure piles, where horse manure
has been accumulating; for it is in
such piles flies find an ideal breed
ing place and carry germs of disease |
into the homes.
If beds and bedsteads are cleaned
with strong disinfectants in the last
of March or first of April, each year,
the pest Of bed bugs will be un-
known. 1t is the lazy and careless
housekeeper, who is responsible for
bed bugs in the home. Any woman
who looks well to the affairs of her
never has to fight verm-
in; but, takes all steps necessary to
prevent vermin from gaining an en-
trance to her home, before they
breed in favorite haunts, where
cleaning has been neglected, or only
partially done.
This is the cleaning-up season for
homes, and now is the time to start
this home work, for it will then be
easy afterwards to keep the home
clean and healthy.
Spend a few dollars in labor to
cleanup the home and it's surround
ngs, rather than take chances of
breeding disease and having to pay
pills resulting from sickness, which
IAN be prevented by keeping clean.
It's cleanup time now.

IT is BETTER TO HAVE a COM
nunity whose general tone is good
rom a fire prevention viewpoint
han one with only few fireproof
and great numbers Of
rundown fire hazards.
Only by unremitting agitation can
ur people be kept awake to the
eed of recognizing the principles of
re protection and only by organiz-
d effort can proper results be main
aimed.
INDIVIDUAL UNITS in this wide
-orld of humanity are held together
y the law of attraction; else, by the
wv of repulsion, they drift farther
nd farther apart.

THE ABSOLUTE ESSENTIALS Of
0und society-and, therefore, safe
