The three are firm in the belief that
not only will there be a change in the
personnel Of the Standard board OF d.
rectors. but that John D. Rockefeller

the purpose OF undoing much that
Henry II. Rogers has done In the past
eight years. and that even II Mr.. Rogers

Complete Reorganization.
Based on the Telegram from Cleve-

prominent Wall street broker early in
the afternoon, the plan which the Stan
dard OH magnates have in mind Is a
complete and sweeping reorganization
of the corporation; this reconstruction
possibly reaching sufficiently far 10 en-
brace the dissolution of the holding
company which was chartered in New
Jersey; the substitution of new name,

said, is IN a purely formative state as
yet. but some of the facts became

RockefelleI'S Retirement.
The plan contemplates the ultimate
retirement Of john .. Rockefeller as
president OF the parent concern, and
with him, II is said, will retire Rogers.
William G. Rockefeller, ArchbOld, Flag
Ter. Pratt and others who for years
have been closely identified with the
directorate

concern. 1t is probable that a man VIII
be placed at the head Of the company
who will be a guarantee to the public
that the affairs will be honestly man

new men will be brought in and presi-
dent selected whose Integrity will be

SANITARY INSPECTOR NEEDED

DR.. Carrier started the ball rolling
Monday night at the council meeting
for a more efficient sanitary inspection
service.
The suggestion has been made be-
fore but probably has never reached
the council in formal shape.
The Doctors ideas are good, and
should be developed.
We need more complete health and
sanitary system.
We need a sanitary inspector and
health officer who can devote his
whole time to the city.
In brief his duties should be to in
spect slaughter houses and all freshly
killed meats; inspect dairies and test
milk; enforce all quarantines and at
tend personally to disinfection after
cases of infectious diseases.
We do not need much new legis-
lation What we need is an officer
whose duties are to see that the laws
we have are enforced.
He should be paid enough to devote
his whole time to the work and even
If it costs $1,000 to $500 per year it
will be the best money the city ever

When it is the morning after the

at your tongue to know that the
stomach is upset, the head is aching
with a dull rhythm, and that all the
world looks black and dreary.
1t may have been lobster Newburgh,
Welsh rarebit, or some other tasty
dish that looked much better at night
than the morning after. There is no
need to look at the tongue thermom
eter then for symptoms of trouble
You naturally go to your box of Mi
o-na stomach tablets, and with one
of the little relievers bring JOY and
gladness to the physical system.
The real time to watch the tongue
is all of the time. II 1t is coated with
a white fur, or possibly with dark
trimmings. even though the stomach
does not tell you by the acute pains
of Indigestion that 1t needs help, yet
the coating shows that you are getting
into a bad way and that there is need
OF Mi-o-na.

MRS. DICKERMAN. DIED IN
PUEBLO TUESDAY NIGHT

Jas. H. Peabody went to Pueblo at
noon today in response to message
received this morning announcing the
death of his sister, Mrs. Julia e. Dick
erman, at the hospital in that city at
1920 o'clock Tuesday night from
peritonitis. Relatives of the deceased
here were greatly surprised to learn
of her death as they were informed
by the attending physicians a few
hours previous to her demise that she
was materially improved.
Gov. Peabody had planned going to
his sisters bedside Tuesday afternoon,
but was assured by telephone that she
was much better and the intended trip
was postponed until too late. An un-
expected turn for the worse occurred
a short time later and end came sud-
denly.
Deceased was born at Copham, in
Vermont, and was about sixty years
of age. She was the wife of A. L.
Dickerman, for the last fifteen years
holding the position Of melting boss
at the plant of the American Smelt-
ing company at Pueblo. Mrs. Dicker-
man leaves one son, George, and two
daughters, Mrs. Lord of Denver, for
merly deputy state boiler inspector,
and Mrs. Pelton, of Riverside, Cali
fornia, whose husband Is clerk of the
supreme court. All Of the children
were present when she died.
One son, Charles, is buried at
Greenwood cemetery in this city and
it is possible she will be laid to rest
beside him, although no arrangements
in relation to the funeral have yet
been made. Charles Dickerman for
merly resided at Leadville and was
brought here from that place and the
