Every City is Measured by Hs Citizens
By Frank Parker Stockbridge. Copyright, 1912, by Town Development Company. How big are you? As big as your town? Bigger than your town? Or are you one of those meek spirits that regard themselves as "small fry?" You know the answer nobody else does. For nobody but yourself knows Just how big you think you are, and It is one of the strange phenomena of this human nature of ours that a man can make himself just what he thinks he is. You'll find that in the Bible, if you don't believe it twenty-third chapter of Proverbs, seventh verse: "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." Where do you think you measure up by the standards of your own community? Surely you don't think you are smaller than you town?
Why, a town is only as big as the
yourself, hut that will be suggested to
you by the things the other fellows say. You'll be surprised, too, to see how much bigger the other fellows think you are than you think you are. And you'll be bigger bigger in your own thoughts and so really bigger when you find them listening to your suggestions with respect and pulling together to put them into effect. You've got a new sensation coming, you citizens who think you are smaller than your town. As for you, Mr. Man you, over there, with the notion in your head
that you're a bigger man than your town there's only one thing for you to do. You can keep on thinking and being bigger than your community unless you are doing all you can to pull the community up to your level. That's a big job for one man. no matter how much bigger than his town he is. If you don't believe that, tackle

CLEANING DAY BULLETIN
Twenty-one policemen in their inspection work report that they found citizens generally observing cleaning week. They discovered a few yards not clean with few unsanitary conditions. This is what they say about children helping: "Easy to notice." "A great deal." "I saw them." "They were all busy." "Every indication." "Doing good work." "Quite noticeable." "Good."
Some gave addresses of specially j clean and beautiful yards; others said, j "Nearly all of them. "All in my neigh-1 borhood." "A great many." "Mostly j clean." "All yards in my district." j
"Not space to mention all." "My own and my neighbor."
Several think Richmond's parks and I public grounds are above the average !
"In very good shape." "Might be better." "In fairly good shape." To a man they advise that the good work be kept up. "Encourage the children to clean once a week." "Follow this continuously." I fully approve of . this movement." "Good thing." "Present method will have desired eect." "Every day cleaning day." This last from the chief of police. It should be the slogan of the city. The patrolmen wished that their names be unmentioned, but they are worthy. In behalf of .printing committee, MRS. F. W. STEPHENS.

Says she can't get 'em clean." Anty Drudge "Well, that's a sad state of affairs. Get her to try Fels-Naptha Soap and she'll complain no more about washing your clothes. No backaches from Fels-Naptha or hard work either. Your wife can do a day's washing before noon if she uses it." When FelsNaptha Soap is used the hanging out is the hardest part of the washing. No boiling. No fire to keep red hot; no tiring and tedious rub-a-dub on the washboard. Fels-Naptha Soap itself does the hardest part of the washday work loosening the dirt in cool or lukewarm water.
