Entered at the poetofflee in Decatur, tndtasa. as sc*«ul cla.a saail. Dr. Hurty, one* of the world’s greatest experts on health and cleanliness, whose reputation extends over the entire union, was a visitor here yesterday. During his stay he asked permission to take a walk by himself over the business portion of the ciay and hosts granted It He wandered up and down the streets and strolled as might have been guessed through the alleys. Upon his return he was asked to the condition of the streets and alleys and his reply was "not very complimentary.” We should say as much. The streets are dirty. No one can deny It. The alleys are worse and the time of year is here when this condition should not exist. We are sorry that Dr. Hurty should not have had a better report to make and we hope our people will take his advice and clean up quickly. Every bit of dirt and rub- ( bish should be destroyed before the fly-breeding season advances. What , has become of the movement started j several weeks ago to have a cleaning day? Let's don’t wait Set a date. Do it now. Everybody help and the secretary of the board of health will be saved the necessity of enforcing the laws and we will have a clean and healthy and better city. Angel Os Death CONNING mil WaRK ONE of Robert and Hazel Butcher Edington, of Marshall street died Tuesday evening at 7 o’clock of cerebro meningitis and complications. The child first became ill three weeks ago from ptomaine poisoning caused by eating canned tomatoes. During her illness, she fell from the bed, striking on her head, and this is thought to have brought on cerebro meningitis. The parents have one other child, a boy, fifteen months old. The babe is also critically ill from rickets, brought on by intestinal indigestion. A short funeral service will be held Friday morning at the home. The body will then be taken at 7 o’clock in the morning tn Bryant, where a service I will be held at 9 o’clock in the Meth-j odist church.

They had consented to having their pictures thrown upon the screen for the education of mankind. One of these was a picture of a painter in Indianapolis. Dr. Hurty had asked him prior to his death what message he wanted to tell the people, and he said: “Tell them to keep well.” This is coincident with that of Robert Louis Stephenson, the great writer, who died from tuberculosis, and whose last message to mankind was, “Keep well; keep well.” "Prevention,” was Dr. Hurty’s last word, "is better than cure.” Dr. Hurty left last night for Fort Wayne and this morning left on an eight days’ eastern trip. —« — - Police Make Raid tCoatlaued p»«* 1) troops to the border is continuing however.
