WHY HAVE WE NO CIVIC
IMPROVEMENT SUCIETY7

(By Adele hitchey Aiksseln
What's the matter with the ladies
Of Florence?
No Womsn's club;
No Civic Improvement society.
Well, in fact. no nothing, 80 far as
our ladies are concerned.
Now that our Chris tmas affairs
will soon be over and the ladies who
have worked 80 hard holding bazars
and Christmas shop and doing various
other things get rested up, it seems to
me they might turn their attention
to other things.
Florence needs Civic Improvement
society.
A great many ladies say they would
be glad to support such society.
But they make no special effort to
organize one. Such an organization
would aud could do wonderful work
in this city.
One half the. back yards and alleys
in Florence are reeking with filth,
alive with germs.
Just take look for yourselves.
Great ash heaps. tin cans, rubbish !;
weed and leaves lie from one season
to another. Surely these things are
not healthy.

up, too. They also plant flowers in

CLEAN up THE LEAVES
TO PREVENT FIRE SPREADS

There is always more or less danger
of fires when there are so many leaves
on the ground as there are now. In
the alleys and the rear portion Of lots
all over the city will be seen dead
leaves by the thousands. While these
conditions exist extreme care should
be exercised when hot ashes are
thrown out from the stoves. Only
little wind and few hot ashes are
necessary to cause big confagration.
1t has been three months since
Florence had q fire and that was a
small one-hardly sufficient to be
called fire. Jailer Rogers, who
has charge Of the fire department for
the last two years has been around to
several Of the business houses and
residences lately and ordered clean
up Of the weeds and dead leaves.
This was done as a precautionary
measure and the cleanup has been
made.
Florence has not the best fire fight
ing apparatus department in the state
and there Is always great danger Of a
fire spreading during the night, es-
pecially since the saloons are closed
at midnight and when there are not
so many men on the streets AS when
they were open. In view of these
circumstances, the greatest care
should be used in seeing that all pos
sibility of fire is lessened

WOMEN DECLARED TO BE
THE GREATEST DREAMERs

The state Of dreaming has at all
times attracted the attention of ply
siologists and the study OF this sub
ject has occupied many moralists.
All or almost all of us dream. and
for that reason all seek a solution OF
this interesting problem. Dreams
resemble realty so strangely that one
wishes to find the actual cause OF
these mysterious "reminiscences OF
fantastic divinations which fatally
escape the action Of the will.
We cannot even direct our dreams

and they disappear without any pos
sibility Of our retaining them. Hap

ways preserve their mysterious origin

only direct consequence Of the mem
ory in repose; they constitute it's
primordial factor They are less fire.
quent when the repose results nor
mally from rational fatigue, and
therefore adults in good health, for
example, dream much less frequently
than old men, and their dreams are
generally happy ones.
This again accounts for the greater
frequency of dreams in women. The
