After making a thorough in-
vestigation o tide health of the
city and consulting with the doc-
tors and health officers we find
that the city of Coleman as far
as health is concerned was nev-
er in a better condition. In most
towns the size of Coleman at this
time of the year you will find coi
siderable sickness in the way of
fevers of different kinds, not so
with Coleman, there bewg only
one ease in the- town at this time
and the party is on the road to
a speedy recovery. This remark-
ably healthy condition of the
town is contributed to the clean-
liness of the town, both in res-
pect to the alleyways and streets
and the individual property own-
ere, and the excellence of the
water supply.
