Now is the Time
To Prepare
In time of peace prepare for
war. an ounce of prevention is
better than a pound of cure.
These axioms are applicable to
the sanitary conditions of any
city, and before the season ar­
rives when flies abound and and
impure matter is deposited on
the ground, thereby risking dis­
ease and epidemic, is the time to
take measures for the cleanliness
of the city. This can be done
by putting in Septic Tanks to
carry off the water from sinks,
toilets, etc. By the use of a
septic tank the water comes out
about 90 per cent pure, and there
is no stagnant and impure water
to attract flies. Several of these
septic tanks are now contracted
for to be put in early this spring.
The cost is reasonable, and the
healthful conditions that will ob­
tain with their installation are
incalculable.
House and Contents
Are Destroyed
At an early hour Monday
morning the house of Frank
Hensley, four miles south of the
city was burned to the ground,
and all the contents except a few
clothes and a trunk were de­
stroyed. No insurance. The
origin of the fire, it D stated, was
caused by some kindling wood
back of a stove catching on fire.
