shutting out the glare OF the sun, and
Of opening blinds to admit the cool air

all judiclous housekeepers. The woman
who rises early enough to. purchase
string beans, cucumbers or lettuce In the
market. and put them in ice water for
one or two hours before preparing them
for the table. Will find their crispness
and tenderness greatly improved. To-

NIGHT.

At a recent meeting of the police
committee, it was decided to reduce
the present police force. On account
of the numerous petty criminals at
work on different lines OF railroad
building in his vicinity, it was deem
ed advisable last spring to increase
the police protection. Since the work
stopped a few chicks" have been heard
relative to the extra expense caused
by the employment of these men.|Just
prior TO their advent as guardians OF
the city numerous fires and other dep
relations We're very common, but oW-
ing to their efficiency the city a en-
loved a notable cessation of any form
of Iawlessness.
The police committee. composed of
Councilmen Lilly. Everhart and Davis,
met last Thursday evening and con-
sidered the matter, with the result
that the two former voted to reduce
the force by removing these patrol
men, while. Mr.. Davis voted against it.
After due deliberation the committee
decided that Officers Fortney. Hess
and Walker should befsuspended, said
men to be relieved September 1. To
day the three officers turned in their
accoutrements, and commencing to-
night the city will be less thoroughly
protected than at any time during the
past six onths
1t was rumored last night that a
special meeting of council you'd be
called for this evening to consider the
matter. The opinion prevails to-day
