CLEAN UP EVERBODY; HELP GOOD CAUSE

Fftday Designated by Governor Ralston .As “Disease Prevention Day”—AU Can Help. Friday, Oct. 2nd, is to be “Disease Prevention Day” arid most of the merchants of this city have agreed to place exhibits in their windows calculated to dissemiate informar tion and aid in the good cause of improved health. Probably the most important thing which people generally can do is to clean up about their own homes and places of business. Ruth bish piles should be removed and everything that might prove a-con-tributory cause to disease should be obliterated. The fall of the year is as important as the spring for cleaning up and every person in this city should fall in with the purpose of the day and help the good cause along. The City Health Board makes a request that all ladies’ organizations, including the Ladies’' .Literary Society, the Sew Clubs and others, make an inspection some time Friday of the various windows of the business houses of the city, thus enabling them to become acquainted more fully with the importance of disease prevention arid exercise* their influence in a wider dissemination of the knowledge acquired.
