DON'T BE AN AUTOORAT J
IN YOUR HOME CIRCLE

Here's some advice which a reader
OF the Labor World, a white-haired
woman with grand children growing
up around her, has to give the men.
It's timely:a
Men get so used to Woman's I'M
self1shness that they take it as their
just due. Every time a husband does
, an unselfish act" you may be quite
sure the entire household will be
aware Of the fact: but. every wife
performs dozens OF unselfish acts
every day of her life that no one but
herself Is ever aware Of
/. There are some households that
change like magic the moment the
head of the house puts his key in the
latch. The children grow subdued,
the wife looks anxious and worried
lest something should disturb the
autocrat and is only relieved when
he is pleased to intimate that he is
in good humor. -
Don't speak to your wife as though
she were 9 child. She knows quite as
much as you do about many things
and about some things she knows a
good deal more. >.
THE woman who is good enough
to rear your children and run your
house is good enough to be spoken to
respectfully. You know perfectly we'll
that you would not dare to speak
to any other woman the way you
speak to the woman who has the right
to all that Is most tender and chiv-
alrous in your makeup. 4 Il. r
Don't talk to her like husband.
but like q man who honors her above
all other women. Talk to your wife
as you did when she was your sweet

TO LEARN COST OF
HAULING GARBAGE
Board of Health Weighing Refuse
One Day Each Week-NO Com
tagious Diseases i'm City.

The board of health has taken steps
10 determine the cost per ton of dis
posing of garbage. and TO this end the
is having all of the gar
bage weighed one day each week for
a period of eight weeks. In this way
the average daily weight of garbage
disposed of will be shown, and the
cost per ton can be determined The
board desires to compare the cost u:
the present method and the estimated
expense of disposing of the garbage
by an incinerator. centrally located.
The city is now entirely free of con-
tagious disease. according to the
health commissioner. Dr. Albert n.
Mueller. DR.. Mueller states that in ad-
dition to being free of contagion. Rock
Island has had but few typhoid fever
cases this summer so far. and the
amount of sickness is very low for this
time of year. Summer complaint and
stomach trouble prevails to large ax-
tent. but is generally not serious in its
effects.
A comparison shows that Davenport
and Moline have not been entirely
free of contagious disease in several
years. the commissioner states.

the remainder of the week there will

FIFTY FEET
AND IS UNHURT
Small Boy Saved by CIothesIine,
Which Breaks Fall Near
Ground.

A clothesline in all probability saved
the life of 6-year-old William De Jaime
in his fall from his home on the third
1oor of 239 Bank street yesterday. The
lad had been playing in the yard with
a number of companions and gather
ing a heap of rubbish, they determined
to have a bonfire. Young De Jaime
was delegated to procure the matches
and he ran upstairs to the apartments
occupied by his parents for tha pur-
pose, the matchbox hung on a nail near
the window and the lad climbed up on
the sill.
The window lac been. left open and
was without a screen. Just as he
over to grasp the matches the
lads feet slipped, and with a cry of
terror he shot to the ground, fifty feet
below. His body struck the clothes
line ten feet from the ground and his
fall was broken so much by this for
tunate circumstance that when he was
picked up by his parents, who were con-
WINGED that he had been killed, 1t was
found that the only injury he had suf-
fered was a slight scalp wound. A
number of matches were found closely
clutched in his hands. He is a eph
of De Jaime, the restaurant man.
