ORDINANCE
WITH TEETH IN IT
At the meeting of the city coun
cil Monday night a sanitary ordi
nance was passed requiring all
property owners on the sewer lines
of the city who have not connected
with the sewer to do so by June
16th. Also those who are not cn
the sewer lines are required tfl
build sanitary privies or have sani
tary methods for the disposal of
human excreta. The type of closets,
specifications etc must be approv
ed by the Board of Health.
The enforcement of this ordi
nance is within the hands of the
Mayor and council strictly, and
the penalty for failure to conform
with the ordinance is fixed by this
body.
For the sake of the good health
•of the community rate protect, the
city from epidemics of one land
and another, and to safe guard the
entire community, the Mayor and
Council have enacted this ordi
nance, and the city fathers are de
termined to enforce it strictly.
AW sanitary ordinances of the
city in conflict with this one has
been repealed, but the one enacted
Monday night has teeth in it. ar.d
the Mayor and Council state they
are going to see to its full enforce
ment.
April is a minth in America, of
of remarkable events. War was de
clared with Germany on the Cth
1917; General Lee surrendered at
Appomattox April 12, 1865; Presi
dent Lincoln was assassinated on
April 14, 1865; the first newspaper
was issued in America April 24,
1704; war was declared with Spain
April 25, 1898; General Grant was
born April 27, 1822, and the Louis
iana purchase was made April 30,
1803.
One of the first questions asked
by proposed investors and home
. ceekers is, How about the sanitary
' and health conditions of your
‘community? A clean, neat, samita
' \y’ficnitihfnl town is an advertisc-
that speaks columns. Co-op
erate with the sanitary movement
inaugurated by the Mayor and
Council and with the clean-up and
paint-up campaign for a cleaner,
more sanitary and attractive com
munity.
If ever old heroes deserved to be
memorialized it certainly is the he
roes of the Gray, and Stone Moun
tain Memorial is this one object.
Have a part in it. and contribute
something.
Someone has suggested that the
best way to get the vacant lots of 1
the town cleaned up is for streets I
to organize baseball teams and let
the youngsters use the vacant lots
for diamonds.

Kidney ills come mysteriously.
But/ nature generally warns you.
Notice the kidney secretions.
See if the color is unhealthy—
If there are settlings and sediment, |
Passages frequent, scanty, painful.
It’s time to fear serious kidney
trouble.
Its time to use Doan’s Pills. .
Doan’s have done great work in
LaFayette.
A. E. Chapman, Proprietor, general
store, Culberson Avenue, LaFayette,
says; “My kidneys acted so often I
had to get up several times at night
to pass the kidney secretions which
contained a brick-dust sediment. To
make matters worse my bladder was
inflamed and caused irritation while
the secretions passed. Knlfe-like pains
darted across the small of my back
whenever I stooped and it was a task
to straighten. I read about Doan’s
PiUs in the paper and made up.
my mind to try them. The first bo*
eased the backache and two more
boxes cured me entirely. I have had no
return of the trouble.’’
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—Get
