Several thousand men and wo-
men enjoyed their inspection of
the new store of S. J. Stoloff Co.

niences under which shopping
may be undertaken. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stoloff, Paul H. Powers, a mem
Der of the firm, and the large staff

ed everyone with a warm well
come. John S. Weaver, formerly
proprietor of the Weaver Stores
for 16 years, complimented and
congratulated Mr.. Stoloff, receiy-
ed many Fluctuations from his

Keep Yards,
Streets Clean
DR.. Edward Gui0n Tells
How Mortified Health
Code Operates
To Enforce Observance
Will Seek to End Nuisance
of Throwing Rubbish in
Lots Which Breeds Flies
and Mosquitoes

Cleanliness of streets and yards
and general respect for sanitary
laws and observance of the
health code were featured Tues
day evening by DR.. Edward
Guion, health officer of North
field at a meeting of the Ladies
Civic club.
DR.. Guion said the board of
health had, by authority of the
state laws, adopted sanitary
code and is endeavoring to COM
pei every person to live up to its
requirements. The rules in the
code can be obeyed. The state
board of health says that the
code adopted by the Mortified
board of health is one of the most
concise codes in the state and
requests have been made for
copies.
DR.. Guion asserted that the
board of health is going to make
a special effort to stop the nui-
sanse of throwing rubbish in lots
and will arrest or cause to be ar
rested any person found doing it.
The police department will be
asked to assist. The principal
objection to this practice from
a health standpoint, he said, is
that the decaying matter acts as
a breeding place for flies. An
other defined nuisance, he said,
is the accumulation of water in
which mosquitoes may breed.
The board of health, said DR..
Guion, is hopeful that ere long
the city of Mortified will have
it's own sewage disposal system
as the city is too progressive to
permit the present system. The
board of health has in mind a
house toulouse inspection very
shortly and a number of nui-
sances that exist will undoubtedly
be discovered and remedied. he
thought. For better health con
ditions the Mortified board OF
health, in conjunction with the
Ne aela lizard q adssa 49,. -
have engaged a hygienic7 nurse
and health circular was also
recently sent to homes giving
mothers advice as to the health
of the child, which DR.. Guion
dwelt on at the closing of his
talk.
Mrs. f. G. Shreve, president,
presided and those present were
Mrs. George Banning, Mrs. John
Schoppy, Mrs. Anna Horton, Mrs.
John Smith. Mrs. Robert Cham
bers, Mrs. e. L. Renear, Mrs. r.
