A boy or girl bronjht up In a clean home grows into a better man or woman than If reared In a dirty one, and a town that is kept clean develops better citizens than one where filth is allowed to accumulate. Thus, by being partially clean, a town may get the moral effect, but to get the health-saving effect, it mast he sanitarily clean. Individual claanllness will not do. For instance, In a town of 2,000 inhabitants, suppose 1,999 keep their houses, yard? and premises, streets and alleys, so clean that flies have no chance to breed in them, but the other has a horse and stable and is slovenly. He keeps an exposed manure pile, and It is evident will breed countless swarms of flies to nullify as far as possible the results of his neighbor'** cleanliness. It is certain that the flies bred in that manure heap will scatter over the town to be a vexation and torture to those who are clean. Hence, in sanitation the whole race must live or fall together. Each in ways unknown is protecting or endangering himself and others, form- Ing the characters and making tne history of unnumbered lives, and cannot live for self alone. There is no room for pedantic exclusivenesa, but our deeds and words are as far-reachlng as life. An epidemic in one locality endangers others, and the consequences of filth in one place may be widely scattered. As it takes soda! action to stamp out diseases, so cleanliness will exterminate the flies, but it must be social cleanliness. We are a part of this, and whether we realise It or not, we are living for the weal or woe of earth, and should Join the longer living legion in a grand clean-up campaign to eradicate the flies and all other sources of disease, so that this globe of ours shall be a cleaner and better place as a home for the human race.--Public Health 8ervlce. or building, but It involvesTHe pfoper determination of location with respect to school, to work and to neighborhood. "Maintaining a high percentage of Individual home owners Is one of the searching tests that now challenges the people of the United States. The present large proportion of families that own their homes is both the foundation of a sound economic and social system and a guarantee that our society will continue to develop rationally as changing conditions demand. "Whenever a home is bought, with few exceptions, the purchaser Is, by his act of becoming a home owner, making himself a permanent citizen of the community. Such citizens are most sought after by cities." 1 11111111 in in n n i n 1 m in hi 111 Ground* Most Important We need to make more attraCttve and beautiful our city and country homes in order that farm life and country life raaygibe our most worthwhile occupation, then by giving greater stability and intensiveness to our rural life and activities. The well-kept and orderly appearance of the farmstead or country home is the main factor in making the place attractive. The lawn trees, shrubbery and flowers on the grounds Immediately surrounding the house which form the framework for the home have much to do with the contentment and happiness of the family, and Inasmuch as these grounds are, or should be, a part of the home and the home life, the importance of making these grounds attractive and beautiful needs no further discussion. Leve of Home One of Finest Human Inttindi "Love of home Is one of the finest Instincts and the greatest of inspirations of our people," according to Herbert Hoover, secretary of the United States Department of Commerce, who Is one of the foremost advocates In the country of home ownership. "Buying or building a home requires the best of sound judgment In •wing that the personal needs of the family are best met with the funds available." lfr. Hoover said. "It involves not only the carrying on of transactions of financing and buying Attractive Mail Boxes Roadside rural free delivery boxes should receive attention this month. The Post Office department urges that such mail receptacles be painted white. In the pretty suburbs near Atlanta, Ga., owners have overcome the crudeness of boxes mounted on the ends of •ticks by use of a light wooden framework about the box over which vines art trained. The gabled roofs of the boss* are painted red or blue. . Tree• In the care of one's yard caution should be taken against irregular growth of trees and means adopted to rectify any fault in the tree's growth at the start. Many trees are inclined to lean in a certain direction through being forced into that position by prevailing winds from the opposite point, and, unless braced while young, it will be impossible for them to grow upright as they should. It is well that a sufficient space be spaded up around the tree and the ground kept worked and properly fertilized.
