   A novel but not very advisable place to hide one's puse is under a sitting hen.

   Now that the board of health has ordered one alley cleaned of filth they should let the good work go on and make every family clean up all the places where refuge and trash has accumulated around their places. It is the back yards which breed many a disease. The slops thrown out day after day in the same spot which is always wet and ill smelling will soon cause malaria. Cleanliness is a wonderful preventative of disease.
