The Street SprinklerS.

Water in homeopathic doses is evil
IDENTIFY the theory of our Street De-
partment. The sprinkling carts are
provided with atomizers that scatter
fine spray of water over the widest
possible surface, and instead of lay
ing the dust invariably raise it..
There is some question in the minds
or quantitative observers whether
more dust is raised by the street
cars than by the sprinkling carts,
but it is agreed by all that qualita-
tive analyses of the dust raised by
both would reveal the same ingre-
dients, i. e., comminuted filth, mi
crobes, and worn asphalt, from the
cars. and the same. plus little
HsO from the carts. H. is the
Street Department symbol for hurry
to operate.
Perhaps water is a trifle more ex-
pensive here than it is in cities
where the streets are actually
washed, and possibly the present
dry spell" is responsible for the
extreme dustiness of our streets; but
why atomize the water If the streets

smilax, and ash trays filled with
salted almonds.
This is one key to the servant
question, both as to the difficulty of
keeping the slavey and the impossi-
bility of getting good one. What
is needed is a clerk from a china
store, not a servant. And when
more women follow the lead of the
home-making magazines and do their
own work, there will be a great
doing away with all this extrava-
gance.

New NATIONAL Alignments.

Inc New York Sun, in common
with other journals all over the
world, is considering the new group
ings of the powers following the
Anglo-Japanese alliance In a lead
ing article yesterday it questioned
the attitade of the people of France
and the United States toward that
alliance because Russia is nominaIly
Christian nation, forsooth, and
Japan not only heather, but yellow.
Without taking issue with the Sun.
but, on the contrary, following the
line of thought inevitably suggested
by 1t, one need not go far 10 see that
in this country, at least, the sympa-
thies of the majority of the people
are not to be swayed toward Russia
by such specious inducements as ap-
parent racial or religious affinity.
IL is true the Russian people are
more nearly akin TO us racially than
are the Japanese, but their present
government is absolutely antagonis-
tic TO all the more Western peoples
hold dear. AS for the Christianity of
the State church of that country. IL
uses the names of Peter and Paul as
those of its chief saints, but to Judge
from its fruits its real models are
St Annanias and the unregenerate
and prosecuting Saul of Tarsus. Be-
tween the medieval and reactionary
government OF Russia and the demo-
cratic freedom of spirit of this coun-
try there can be no sympathy. Be
tween her intolerant and bigoted
church and the enlightened charity
OF our more numerous sects there
can be no bond in the mere name of
Christianity
The Japanese are perhaps heather:
and yet candor compels us to admit
that they have substantive virtues
that greatly outweigh any amount
of lip service Or the the very loudest
professions of doctrinal Christianity
They are Of the yellow race, but they
are also brave, free, and progressive.
These considerations, however. are
merely sentimental. When it comes
to real action this country will do
what all peoples do-follow the lead
OF its material interests. Nations
may talk piously of religion and
brotherhood, but in the end they act
as though there were no such things.
They are compelled by the instinct
of self-preservation to follow the
line of least resistance. or perish.
AT the present time not only are
our sympathies with the brave people
OF Nippon, but our material interests
seem TO point to an active acSuies-
cence In the Anglo-Japanese alliance
for the maintenance of the admins.
trative entity and the commercial
freedom Of China are not only Amer.
lean policies, but they are the avowed
objects of the new treaty between
Britain and Japan 1t would seen
that We have more to gain by aidine
Japan and England, actively or pas.
sively. than by opposing them. And
even in view of the possible ability
OF the japanese to undersell us. ii is
better to face competition in the
open markets in the East than to be
shut out of that part of the worlf
altogether

The Need fer Homes.

The demand for homes has be-
come so great in C0lum bus that
the growth of the city will be
seriously retarded unless some
organized effort is made to sup
ply dwelling houses for the peo-
pie who are anxious to come here
to live. Not day passes but
what there is some stranger here
in search of a house, and often
times this search is fruitless. OF
course, if a man cannot secure a
house he cannot bring his family
here, and an inability to secure
homes has doubtless already
kept many people from moving
here
There is enough money lying
idle in the local banks to build
hundreds Of cottages aud if this
money were invested in property
of this kind the investor would
not only be helping the city but
would be feathering his Own
nest at the same time. A nice
cottage can be erected for 81, 900
and the lot on which to Guild
could be purchased for $3.50.
making the total outlay 81 $50
THIS cottage would easily rent
for 1925 per month. which
would be about ten per cent.
on the amount invested. There
is no other way in which money
could be invested that would
bring the same returns and at
the same time be absolutely safe
and secure. This proposition
is at least worthy Of con
sideratiou, and it is to be hoped
that after giving the matter due
thought some OF our capital
lists will decide that it is a profit
able scheme and will undertake
the erection of a mum Der of cot
tages for people who are anxious
to come to Colum bus to live.

A BARGERoBs RARlT.
Physician Gives Warning
against 4 Growing American
Custom.

The growing habit amongst
Americans of taking a mint tab
let or some other so-called diges
tive after eating hearty meal, is
something that Sir Andrew
Clarke, Mr.. Gladstone's ply.
stefan advises strongly against,
saying: 1T is absolutely danger.
Gus to take into the stomach
remedies which are popularity
supposed to aid in the digestion
of food"
There is nothing known 30 the
science Of medicine that can per
form the work of the human
stomach. Drugs do not and can
not digest the food. They sim
ply decOmpose it, What can be
more revolving or disgusting
than the thought of taking some
thing that is going to turn the
good food you have eaten into q
mass of corruption.
+ The only way to overcome in
digestion and it's evil effects is to
remove all irritation, congestion
and imam nation from the stom-
ach, liver and intestines, and
Mic is the only agent known
that will do this.
When q Mona tablet is taken
before each meal every trace of
irritation and infiam nation is re-
moved from the stomach and d.
gestive system, and these organs
will extract from the food all that
goes to make good, rich blood
firm muscle, steady nerves and a
sound healthy body. If you suffer
with headaches, indigestion,
tiatulency, spots before the eyes,
vertigo, or dizziness, palpitation
of the heart, sleeplessness, or
any stomach trouble, get fifty
cent box of Mi O-na from Mayo
& Weaver. one of our most
reliable druggists, whose faith in
the remedy is shown by their of.
fer to return the money il

Free Storage on Cotton.

Messrs. PEBBLES & Weaver.
lessees of the Steamer Vienna.
have perfected arrangements
with the Gulf Compress Com
pany by which all cotton brought
to Columbus by the boat will be
stored free for sixty days, thus
giving the farmers along the
Tom bigbee VALLEY the privilege
of holding their cotton that
length of time without accruing
charges for storage. By this
arrangement the farmer is ena
bled TO ship his cotton at "a cost
of only ten cents bale, which is
for drayage from boat to com
press. The shipper pays the
steameriVien cents per bale
for bringing his cotton to Column
bus, and when the cotton is sold
the cotton buyers or the rail
roads refund this sum to the
farmer, thus leaving an actual
outlay of only ten cents per bale
for freight, drayage and storage.
This arrangement is not only
good thing for the farmer living
contiguous to the Tom bigbee
river but is also a good thing for
Columbus, for it means THAT
farmer can load his cotton on the
boat at PickenSville, Vienna or
any of the nearly river towns and
ship it via Colum bus to New
York, Boston or any other East
ern city or to any European port
as for that matter,at practically
the same rate that Columbus en-
joys. This means that they will
naturally send their cotton here
and our receipts will therefore be
swelled and our cotton men will
be kept busy throughout the en-
tire season.

out the solution of the matter
along these lines his prosperity
will be assured.
