Dear Mr. and Mrs. Alston:
' I am sure you will be astonish
ecf to hear fwim a stranger, but while
your dear son Willis Faulk was on a
visit - to Nice we made his acquaint-
ance and we had the honor to enter
tain him at our Hat; in fact we became ;
so friendly that unlike most of the
American soldiers, he felt pleasure in
coming to spend nearly every evening
with us, and we were always delighted
to have him, as we found him such a
bright, intelligent young man.
My wife and I have become very
fond of him, especially as he is such a
splendid example of the U. S. -A.
youth, and I .m convinced he will
make his way in the world and you
need have' no fear for his future.
We had some trips together and I
am sure he will tell you all about our
trio to Monte Carlo and the Italian j
border as also our visit to Monaco
which was a wonderful experience for
him.
We shall be in correspondence so
that if I can do anything in my power
fnr- vnn or vour3 vou may command it
and depend that it shall be done.

My (American) wife and I (an Eng

again, but naturally his only desire
is to see Old Liberty first and meet
you all again in good health.
I hope for your sake this will soon
be. I'm sure when that happy day
arrives you will kill the fatted calf
in his honor. You must be proud to
have such a brave, intelligible, reli
able good son. -
With kindest regard -

On Complaint, Pig Pens Within
. 300 Feet of Dwelling Are
Subject To Immediate Removal
In view of complaints being made to
me in such frequency about pig-pens
maintained near dwellings, I have to
make the following ruling, which is
published herewith so as to give am
ple warning ..to v ail concerned. This
ruling will be followed impartially,
and those maintaining pig-pens are
advised herewith to conduct their pens
accordingly:
Ruling, When complaint is brought,
the Health Officer will rule that ; all
pig pensr maintained, on owners prem
ises or otherwise, within a distance
of 300 feet from inhabited dwellings,
are dangerous to health...
Pig pens are unhealthy because
they are filthy and cannot be kept
clean; they breed numberless flies,
and flies distribute all sorts of disease.
Even from a cleanly point of view, no
one wants a fly ' using his begrimed
feet to walk on your bread as you put
it to your mouth.
In this connection I will state that
the average stable is not kept as ifrUastic boosters.
snouid be. It is possible to keep a
stable quite sanitary, and this should
be done. Flies breed largely in stables,
but this can be prevented by prompt
ly removing the manure, and a liberal
distribution of Borax, made on it.

' ' Health Officer.
