A CHANGE OF ATTITUDE
WEED CUTTING NOW EASY
Property Owners Abide by the Wish
es of the Health Department and
Few Complaints Are Being Heard
at Present.

A rather remarkable change in the
attitude of people toward the existing
city ordinance regulating the cutting
of weeds has been manifested this
season, according to John Seaman,
deputy city health officer. who de-
clared to the Palladium yesterday
that instead of meeting with contin-
ued refusals upon the part of proper
ty owners to cut weeds. there only is
a case here and there where the Or
der is not Immediately obeyed.
Under the provisions of the ordi-
nance the city health department up
on ordering property owner to cut
weeds need only wait short time to
see whether the order will be obeyed
or not Then the health officer may
proceed to cut the weeds and the city
must pay the costs. the supposition
being that the property owner will be
taxed up with this expenditure. Dep
uty Seaman states, however. that
though much money was spent by the
city last year under the ordinance,
that few, if any property owners were
t3ypd

THINGS Different Now.

This year" said the officer. mo
tees to NOW weeds are received by
property owners with show Of res
pect for. the city ordinance and al
most Immediately the weeds are re-
moved, There probably has been less
trouble than ever before and it is due
to the thorough understanding of peo-
pie generally that weeds not only con-
stitute nuisance but are a positive
menace to public health For this rea-
son most property owners are glad to
help along a good cause"

PEOPLE OF A TOWN.

Ii isn't the streets nor the buildings
That are reared meath prosper
Gus skies,
Nor the domes with their splendid
glldings
That we truly revere and prize.
For the houses may fall and their
wreck may strew
b The place meath misfortunes
frown;
But great voice cries, I'VE will
build anew!"a
It's the people that makes a town.
1t isn't the plain nor the mountain,
Nor the ocean that rolls afar,
Nor the waving field, nor the foun-
tain,
That makes us the men we are.
When the shadows of want and grief
expand
II is then we know the worth
or "a gentle heart and stalwart hand
It's the people that makes the

immense quantities OF positive cleo

placed by heavy earthquakes.
He warns the people oS Berlin
that unless they Immediately give up
the use OF electricity the same calam-

His theories are ridiculed by all
scientists and "a professor OF the uni
