The'City, i Health Offlcer makes tho
following call to citizen* for belter
sanitary conditions. "Clean Up and

city Health Department:
"With'the beginning of the year as
our city ti apparently blossoming,
forth with prosperity, we must look
to *our sat (Rry condition ere In tho
face of go d fortune we will wither
and die. Though'for a long time
have behh without the sweeping rains
and heAVy frosts, the citizens can ro-
duce the amount of sickness this year
by attertti^h to their own surround
ings.
“The Health Officer stands ready to
lend auy ksslstance In his power to
any one, but his usefulness
greatly increased by the co-operation
of all.
“As saidiby a minister from his pul
pit last Sunday, ‘Public sentiment cre
ates legislation: legislation docs not
create’. A$d the Interest taken and
agitation (given these matters by
thinking people will result In good If
their advlco bo taken and applied in a
practical way.
"Our climate is ideal. Our water

system I* of tho best and is working
perfectly.! Our scavenger depart
ment is vjell systematized, so the san

The following suggestions may be
of benefit to you:
"Screen all doors and windows to
keep the flies out, especially from din
ing room dnd pantry.
"Clean your grease trap. Best done
by turniug on tho water full force and
allowing It to run for some time and
accosioually churning or agitating u
with stub broom or small hoe. This
may l e Saejlltated by sprinkling with
potash from perforated top can which
can be bought from tho grocery sun*
for five cents. - Never dip out tho
(rap but float It off through the sewe.
"Clean up the back yard and don't
allow water thrown In tho smo place
every time, keeping the ground wet.
Sprinkle with lime.
"Don’t throw your tarsh over tho
fence or into tho alley. Keep box or
barrel for all cans, trash, dead chick
ens and meat trimmings from the
kitchen or any trash, and it overstock
ed before the regular time for the

"Those keeping horses or cows
should havo tho manure thrown into

MR. BRANTLEY DE8ERVE8 THE
CREDIT.
Of Interest to friends of Congress
man Brantley Is the following from
the Washington correspondent of tho
Atlanta Journal,
"It develops that the credit being
given to Senator Knox for solving the
problem presented and agitated*rela
tive to the shipment of liquors from
wet to dry states really belongs to
Representative Brantley of the 11th
district. Senator Knox Is himself au
thority for the statement, otherwise it
might not have becoma known.
"At the last session of congress,
when members from every prohibition
state In tho Union were clamoring for
protection for their states from the
'wet’ slates, dozens of hills wero In
troduced, but the Judiciary committee
cuuld never agree it would bo consti
tutional tp prohibit the shipment of
whiskey mi interstate commerce.
"Mr. Brantley Jratte.t a 71111 re-
mu'; Hat all package containing
liquor be labeled plainly, that no per
son should have liquor shipped to him
under an assumed name and even re
qufrlng the ralroads and express com
panies to keep a book for public In
spection, giving the names of persona
receiving shipments of whiskey. Ben
ator Knox was impressed with the
Brantley bill, drafted one like It, and
so stated to the senate committee o<
the Judiciary .when he presented It.
He had retd Mr. Brantleys brief," and
agreed to the sonndneaa of the law
thereto advanced.” ^
