Citizens Of Camp I~naugurate Crusade
for Better Sanitation and Streets.

A movement has been in%augurate1
by the progressive business men of
Gold6eld having for its purpose the
taking of additional precautions to pre-
typhoid fever and kindred diseases
during the fall and winter months. The
project contains no element which
might in any sense be considered as a
slam at the governing board of the
camp, but rather derives it's inception
in a desire on the part of public spirit
ed residents to unite with that organ
~ization in the furtherance of sanitation
matters. These gentlemen have a just
appreciation of the good work along
that line which is being lone under the
supervision of the board and it is not
their intention to burn their fingers by
o~ffieious meddling Herewith. 1t is their
intent, however, to offer certain sug
g%estions to the quasi-munieipal author
tiles which it is believed will meet with
favorable consideration. The public
health is a subject in which every cit
izen is vitality concerned and to con
serve it as nearly perfect as possible
requires the cooperation of everyone.
To this end certain ordinances bearing
on sanitation are being enforced at this
time and to increase their effectiveness
is the spirit which animates the pres
ent movement. Among the matters
that are to be brought to the atten.
tion of the governing board is a propo.
sition to make some provision for the
inspecting of the sanitary condition of
water carts and also to oil the streets
of the city. Both of these questions
are worthy of careful thought for un.
der certain conditions both are a men
ace to public safety.
The fact that the water carts should
be kept in a serupulously clean condi
tion is indisputable for no more pro
life distributor of disease germs can
possibly exist than impure water. Mil
lions upon millions of pestllence breed
ing microbes can be distributed in the
homes of the camp through this me
dunn alone, and wherever they enter
sickness is the inevitable, and death
often the result. 1t is probable that
the tanks utilized for carting water for
domestic purposes are kept in compare
lively perfect sanitary conalUlon, but
in a matter of such vital Importance an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, and sometimes where the in.

these little but powerful enemies of
mankind will creep in To
prevent the encroachment of these in
sidious pests upon the public health
has been and is yet the life work of
thousands of sanitary experts, and at
times their utmost efforts have come
to naught. 1t therefore becomes man
datory on the part of the officials and
residents of a community to put forth
every %precaution to counterfeit their
evil effects in their incipiency, for un.
less they do so dire results are sure to
follow. Once started ON their scourge
of pestilence and death, human life
pays the forfeit of past neglect and no
home is free from the danger of con-
tagion. Recognizing the possibility
that these menaces to public safety
may be lurking in the drinking water

ing board to the matter and suggest
that they devise some means of having

walls Nv some person capable of doing

In the matter of laying the dust in
the city 5 streets, itself a breeder of
pulmonary and like diseases, the com
mittee will recommend that crude
petroleum be utilized for abating the
nuisance. With the advent of the rail
road this product can probably be
transported to the camp at nominal
cost for such use by special arrange
ment with the railway officials, and
that it is an efficient agent for such
purposes is evidenced by its successful
use in all portions of California
There is perhaps no state in the union
where the general average of city
streets and country roads is at all
seasons of the year as good as those of
the Golden State and this condition is
largely due to the use of petroleum
thereon. The application of the crude
product has long since outlived its ex-
perimental stage, out its effect is last
ing and has never been a matter of re
greet in those localities where it has
been utilized. In contradistinction,
where once the streets were dusty they
are now free from that discomfort and
where before the country roads were
ankle deep in dust or quagmires of
mud they are nov easy to travel on at
all times and present much the appear

for a number of years. Occasionally a
sink hole will appear, but it is always
of small extent and is easily remedied
by filing in with dirt and gravel and
the application of a few gallons of oil,
1t requires little or no top dressing to
make a street fit for the spreading of
the oil and therefore the expense of Sc.
curing a smooth and even driveway is
small. Here of course the expense
would be somewhat heavier than at the
coast but as the product is cheap il
could doubtless be utilized without
working a hardship on the taxpayers
and certainly would abate a nuisance
from which no resident is at present
free.

IN STRAITS
Fire Commissioners without Funds TO
Meet Current Expenses.

"There is but one thing to do and
that is to sell the horses and parapher-
malta and pay the men their wages
said Ole Elliott, one of the members Of
tine board of fire commissioners, to q
reporter for the News yesterday in
speaking of the financial straits in
which the board is involved. "There
is no money in the treasury with which
to pay the fremen or feed the horses
and if the citizens do not manifest
more interest and assist in ~defraying
the expenses of the fire department un-
til such time as the fire tax falls due I
can see but one way out of the predica-
ment, and that is to do without fire
protection during the interim
The county commissioners have
levied a fire tax of one-haif OF one per
cent on the assessed value Of property
within the fire district, which covers an
area one mile square, having its central
point Mt the intersection of Main and
Ramsey streets. The tax, however,
does not fall due until December /, and
until that time the commissioners are
forced to depend on public donations to
meet the running expenses of the de-
partment. At present the expenses, in
Guiding pay of men and feeding of
horses, is estimated at $500 per month.
Funds to the amount of $4,000 have
been raised in the past by giving
dances and entertainments and by
private subscriptions, but this amount
has been expended for the erection Of
a building, the purchase of a chemical
! engine, horses, hose and other Incl
dental expenses, including wages, so
that nothing remains with which to
run the department from now until
December l. C. G. Inman, a member of
the board of fire commissioners has
endeavored to raise the required
amount by circulating a petition among
the business men but the latter as a
rule have been so apathetic he has be-
come discouraged. This lack of inter
est on so vital a subject is lamentable
for if the present service is abandoned
dire results are sure to follow in event
of a fire of any magnitude. Goldield
is by no means exempt from such visit
~tations and has been more thar lucky
in such instances in the past. Lack Of
popular interest in fire department af-
fairs was followed by a severe and
costly lesson to the residents of Grip
pie Creek, and the people of Goldfeld
shou- not be slow to profit thereby. If
the money for operating expenses is to
be raised it should be forthcoming at
once for unless it is the fire commits
sioners have no recourse but to take
drastic action in the premises.

MISS CoHN IN CARSON.

Miss Felice. Cohn, attorney-at-law,
member of the firm of SoRelle & Cohn,
returned last evening from Goldfield
and will remain several days in this
city on legal business. Miss Coin en-
joys an extensive practice, making a
speciality of mineral patents.
Miss COIN says that the camp is
Weakening up after a very dull summer,
Everything is now booming. The dull
ness was largely due to the failure of
the Goldfeld Bank & Trust company,
which was a severe blow to the camp.
The discoveries in the Red Top, Sand
storm and Florence are making the
camp an ebullition of excitement.
"All the men in Goldfield,' says
Miss Cohn, 'tlook to Carson City as 4
place of residence. Both my partners
in the law business expect to bring
their families here. This is the near
est residence town to the southern min
ing camps and within a short time the
city will feel the good effects of the
kindly feeling existing between he
camp and the city of homes. +,

Under her arm snuggles a coil of music but she walks with head erect, shoulders back like a corporal on pa rade, with a firm elastic step that be- speaks confidence and nerve. She is conservatory bred. Why should she not also be beautiful? She dances and smiles as well as any comic opera beauty She sings-well, everybody knows this chorus woman sings. There is only one such. Best of all. she is an American, deep chested, strong-lunged, dominant.

BEAUTY IN THE GRAND OPERA CHORUS

fame in a night, yet she seldom has glimpse of her name in newspaper type. Patience must be a virtue with her, while the prima donnas receive the plaudits of enthusiastic music lovers. Automobiles do not await her order at the stage door. No one ever heard of a college freshman eloping with a grand opera Diana of the ensemble forces. For ages, one might say, she was selected simply because she could sing the grand opera repertoire. Women of all shapes and ages may still be found in the Italian opera choruses.
 With the advent of the all-American grand opera chorus this has been changed. Commodore Savage was the first to demonstrate that American girls could sing grand opera as well and better than foreigners, and ambitious pupils from American conservatories now people his chorus

No Work By Electric Light.

If America produces the most beautiful women on earth, then why should not an American grand opera chorus pre- sent panorama of beautiful girls as well as those who are able to sing? This question seems to have been no puzzler for Henry w. Savage, whose English grand opera chorus will divide attention with the score of artists and big orches- tra during the coming opera festival.
 According to the oldest accepted tradi- tions, members of a grand opera chorus should have no place in a modern beauty show. But MT. Savage has reverence for traditions when they do not ht into moo ern stage methods. In his scheme of Americanlzing grand opera he made the discovery that Americans have eyes as well as ears, and his chorus, whether in the stately measures of "Lohengrin" 1nd "Tannhauserr the evening dress court scenes in "Othello" or the rollicking dance of the gypsies in ''Trovatore' anc Carmen" is made up of American girls with plenty of dash and go, bright faces and shapely figures, as well as ability to sing.

WINTER COMPLEXION
BY MARY ANNABLE FANTcN.

It may be fashionable to be red and brown of complexion, to look healthily tanned and prettily rosy, but it is not one bit good form to have weather beaten skin, that is freckled with the mid-winter suns, wrinkled with keen frosty winds and open bored from careless treatment.
 The athletic looking girl "has it. when it comes to fashion in coloring. It Is quite gone out to be pale of delicate ap- pearance, but the athletic girl really takes a great deal of care of her skin' and has a whole toilet table covered with pure creams. lotions and powders.
 Many of her cosmetics she makes for herself. and to make sure of the purity of the ingredients. and all of them are tested preparations that no injury eculd come ito her skin from their ire Auent use.
 She has a few rules in caring for the rkin that she never breaks, and these every outdoor girl would do well to fol- Dow.
 a She never washes her face just before W going out in the cold or just after she tthas been out If her skin is dry she rubs ma very little cold cream, well into the boHlxin, wipes the face with a soft cloth and rtdrsts 1t over with little pure powder before venturing out. If the skin Is oily ihis preparation is not necessary.
 Coming In from the cold and dust of a winter day--for icy dust is the worst Tor the skin--sLe rubs the skin well with rream, leaves 1t on for a few minutes )f practicable. then wipes with cloth hnd powders very lightly. The amount pl soil that she will remove with the cream will astonish her the first time.
 The best homemade cream for wash ing the face or softening it at night is prepared as follows:
 1 Cold Cream. One ounce of spermaceti; one ounce of white wax; five ounces of best imported oil of sweet almonds; one and a half ounces of rosewater twenty grains of powdered borax. Dissolve the bcrax in the rosewater, and if the wealth CT is cold. set the bottle fin a pan of mod erateIy warm water. melt wax and sper- maceti add almond oil and heat slightly remove from the fire and pour into rose water quickly; beat to foam with an egg beater.

 Do the electric fixtures in 1915 need re- pair? The superintendent makes a note O it and sends the electrician thither when he comes from his job in 2407 Or 6 new tenant has moved in Note: Wants the partition changed. Send carpenter to 699." Or he observes the paint wearing off on the buildings ex- terior, and the iron work of the stairway needs reslvering. Straightway the ''scraper" painter is set to work on the iron work while a half dozen men are engaged to daub hundreds of dollars worth of paint upon the great walls the while they dangle high in the air on swaying scaffold. The superintendent's tasks are as varied as the wants of the building and it's tenants.
 Expense Is Great.
 To keep a skyscraper in first-class condition requires an outlay of money that would have been considered a big fortune in the eighteenth century The help in a certain twenty-five story build- Ing III NeW iorR receives Tn wages S5'bOt month, or $43,200 a year; an engineer getting SS5 a month; fireman, $60; the electrician, $75; scrub woman, SIS; a porter s40 an elevator runner.

On this same skyscraper S75 worth oe cleaning apparatus is worn out every thirty days-brooms. dusters. cloths. mops, buckets Hundreds of gallons of paint, at S.75. are swallowed up by wood- work, brick walls and iron work; and not one of the least expenses is that of coal the monthly bill running all the way from 5000 to $1,50O
 It's no easy matter for the house-clean- CT on a gigantic scale and physical mana ger of s<yseraper both in one. Let the ogod housewife reflect on the skyscraper superintendents lot the next time she sghs at the thought of cleaning day. then, perhaps, she will not think her lot is cast in such hard places after all.
