SPRING ISN'T
LIBERAL ENOUGH
Fourth and Monroe Street
Residents Complain OF
Short Water Supply There

Residents OF Fourth and Monroe
streets and the neighborhood are clam
oring for relief from the small flow Of
water from the spring on the north
west corner. A flow about as big as
lead pencil has worried users of che
spring nearly into nervous prostration.
At the same time, persons who use
tho spring at Fourth and Franklin
streets are enjoying a great big flow
and are satisfied that fortune Is with
them. The two springs seem 70 be SO
correlated that an operation for the
good OF one win be an operation FOR
the bad on the other.
For instance, not long ago those who
use the Fourth and Franklin streets
spring suddenly saw the flow there
slacken up and come out as a nervous
| little trickle that was most annoying.
Accordingly. they set up howl, and
the Water Department went TO their
relief. Soon a normal flow was ap-
parent and the spring again enjoyed
popularity.
And then those who use the Fourth
and Monroe streets spring suddenly
saw their fine flow dwindle into a little
| spindle shanked streamlet. 1t is OF
this that they are now complaining,
and they want quick relief. Many per-
sons in the neighborhood use the spring
largely. and several hundred are In
lconvenienced. This spring was former
IN on Fourth street between Madison
and Monroe. it having been removed
labout a month ago.

And don't think that condensed milk which
is nearly half sugar. is anything like Van
Camps. Van Camps contains no sugar-no
addition whatever.
Sugar was used to preserve milk before the
days of sterilization. It is entirely unneees-
sary now. If you want sugar, you can buy
it for half what it costs in can OF milk.
And condensed milk, because OF the sugar,
is unfit for cooking. You can't use it as you

OPPOSE GLAZED ENVELOPES

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. Sept o.
The United National Association OF
Postodico Clerks IN convention hero
placed itself on record as opposed u
"back stamping" that method by
which the time OF the arrival OF letters
is recorded on their backs. A resoiu-
tion was adopted, in which It was de-
cided to enter a protest against the
system. II is declared unnecessary
and wasteful.
Another resolution adopted opposes
envelopes with fronts Of slazed papcr.
through which the address Is visible.
The clerks contend that the reading
OF the addresses on such envelopes
is a strain on the eyes
After lengthy discussion the dele
gates rejected a resolution proposing
the creation Of twenty-cont special
delivery stamp.
