Are you eating wheat products
three times daily or every day in the
week? If so, you are giving aid to
Germany in the atrocious work she
is doing. One does not necessarily
have to shoulder a musket and go to
the battle front t<r show where he
stands in the war. The American at
home must help fight this battle and
the man or woman who persists in
consuming food and other things that
are essential to tho success of the al
lies is as guilty of aiding the cause of
the enemy as some who stand in his
ranks.
It s to be regretted that there
seems to be a growing tendency
cently on tho part of some of our
people in the business section to grow
careless about the appearance of the
streets. A great deal of trash and pa
per is allowed to be thrown out which
makes it impossible for any part of
the town to present a well kept ap.
pearanec. The mayor has recently
called attention to the ordinance pro
hibiting this and yet its violation con
tinues. Knowing the difficulty of se
curing labor at this time, it seems
that any business man with even
spark of civic pride would see that
no trffsh or paper is thrown from his
door to be tossed over the town by the
wind. It will take united effort
correct this condition which is both
unsightly and unsanitary and if there
arc those who arc so void of pride
they will not desist from the careless
habit of dumping refuse of any kind
out of their doors, it would be well
Co use coercive monsures to nij) them.

A BAD PRACTICE
A habit that is not only filthy but
dangerous, is becoming so common in
Vicnnu ns to merit the adoption of
immediate measures to effect its dis
continuance. Many of the men who
walk the streets and sit on the win
dow ledges and various other loung
ing-places about tho sidcwnlks have
n habit of expectorating as freely
and promiscously as they sec fit. Tho
practice has become so general and
extensive, and the practitioners hnvc
become so reckless and Indiscriminate
in the abuse of the privilege they en
joy by virtue of the fact that they are
free American citizens und therefore
part owners of the streets with license
to make them unfit to be traversed,
that it has reached the disgusting
point Unfortur.ntely those who do
not indulge in tho filthy practice must
necessarily walk the same streets
that are frequented by the untiring
and inconsidcratb cxpcctorators, and
to them it is extremely nauseating.
If the abolishment of this objec
tionable practice wculil entail any
great hardship upon any one there
might be some excuse for allowing
it to continue, but a little prompt and
positive action on the part of the city
fathers is all that is needed to put an
end to the practice and there are
many who would be deeply gTateful
if some such remedial measures, for
a condition that reflects discredit up
on the town, would be adopted im
mediately.
