today from the secretary of the Ken

with the insurance board for Ken
lucky and Tennessee, and the coun-
ell has done nothing definite about
approving the appointment of sue
cessor, as 1t has been waiting to have
an ordinance put on the books Great
ing the Office of building inspector,
with the intention of consolidating
the two Offices.
The insurance companies are fret
ting under the delay, however, and
say there Is so much work being
done now that is not being inspected
that as a measure of protection they
will perforce have to raise their rates
President McBroom Of the council

would take up the matter at the next
meeting. 1t has been waiting on the
aldermen to take action in the mat
ter. but to obviate the increase in

at once to have the inspector ap-
pointed and take up the building in

sarnaeIes as a Food.

The best-known and most useful of
starvation diets for wrecked or cast
away people is that of barnacles, and
if anything of the kind happens to
~ou, they will probably be your staple
food. Barnacles are long, tough. half
shellish. half vegetable, creatures
that grow on the under sides of YES

of Lascars. who had been forced to
abandon the sailing vessel North
Star. kept themselves going for over
week on barnacles. and only two of
the crew died. The worst of them is
that they give one internal cramps
and cause an insuiferable thirst; but
they do nourish the frame.

This magnificent tonnage was pro
