ROBINSON EaiTwt and O wner . EDITORIAL The Vernonia Council has passed and posted a long ordinance known sa a Plumbing Code. Everyone should read it or part of it. It provides for a Plumbing Inspector that you must get application from before you do any sewer connecting or plumbing work—100 dollar fine if you fail. For the precent, G. G. Hall, City Engineer, is Plumbing Inspector, This is very important to the health and safety of the city and every citi zen will rejoice that it has been acc omplished, and that the sewer system is opperating. No outside toilets will be permitted in the city where conn ection are within a half-block of a sewer line. When one digs for a sew er connection they must leave the ground as it was before digging—in other words, don’t leave any hole» like now appear at certain places on Bridge street All Plumbers in Verno- nnia must get a City License as well as a Bond and all work must be in spected as it is being done. Thi» Plumbing Code is one if the best Ord inances gotten up by the city. ARE We are in receipt of a bulletin sent out by the Public Health Serv ice of the U. S. in which it is announ ced that the common “bad cold” is highly contagious, and that from the standpoint of being “common“ it is indeed as common aa the housefly. “Persons suffering with a cold should be careful abiut sneering in public’’, reads the bulletin. “Nover sneeze on a friend,” it goes en to warn, “unless you are sure that you have not the slightest symtons of a cold.” And since we believe that the bulletin carries much that will prove beneficial to citisens of Ver nonia and vicinity we print thia add itional information from the pen of Uncle Sam’s studied medical authori ties: “If you keep in good physical con dition you stand a better chance than otherwise of throwing off the germ of cold if anyone harboring them happens to sneeze in your presence. But you cannot depend on physical fitness alone; proper diet, using care to keep out of drafts and wearing ^armets neither too heavy nor too light for the climate are important. Doping on nostrums and alleged cold cures, many of which contain injuri ous coal Ur, are also discouraged. Sleep in a room where there is good ventilation and drink plenty of cold water and colds will be the least of your worries.” ALL KINDS OF LAUNDRY WORK Washable rugs Blankets Lace curtains Feather pillows Wagon Comes te Vernonia Daily Sox Darned Free “QUALITY AND SERVICE” Vernonia Agents Are : VIRNQNLA CLEANERS COLUMBIA BARBER SHOP BIG ENOUGH—to handle any financial tranction that you may have need of in efficient manner SMALL.ENOUGH—to give every account the in dividual attention that it deserves, knowing that our growth depends on our customers’ success.
