FOR THE GOOD OF THE TOWN

Ten Commandments That Are Worth Heeding by the Citizen* of Any Community. These Ten Commandments for the spring clean-up are Just as good in this town as they were in Winfield, Kan., where the Courier printed them: Thou shalt honor thy neighborhood and keep it clean. Remember thy cleaning day and keep It wholly. Thou shalt take care of thy rubbish heap else thy neighbor will .bear witness against thee. Thou shalt keep in order thy alley, thy back yard, thy hall and thy stairway. Thou shalt not let the wicked fly breed on thy premises. Thou shalt not kill thy neighbor by ignoring fire menaces or by poisoning the air with foul odors. Thou shalt not keep thy windows closed day and night. Thou shalt support the city, county and state health officers in their work and obey their instructions. Thou shalt eat less, breathe deeper, rise earlier and bathe oftener. These things do that thy days may be long and healthy upon the earth.
