flro companies were unable to got
control of it and other fire depart

before tho spread of the conllagra

beighth of tho conflagration, embers
carried by the wind would cause now
fires to break out two or three
blocks distant, rendering tho flro
fighters almost powerless.

Whereas, tho old proverb sayeth
that cleanliness Is next to Godli
ness; and,
Whereas, if this be a standard
by which the Godliness of a people

godly people and places, public
thoroughfares and private premises
in and about our beloved city; and,
Whereas, tho purses of our re
spected physicians are waxing ex
ceeding fat and voluminous from
the abundance of filthy lucre
gathered from our people; and,
Whereas, much of this filthy
lucre might be saved to our worthy
citizens by a proper observance of
particularly those matters relating
to hygienic surroundings and clean
liness hi and about the yards and
premises and places of abode;
Therefore, in order that wo may
all the more nearly approach a
