THERE is NO FAT JOB
FOR THOMAS F. REAGAN
Position of General Foreman Is
Declared Abolished

Thomas f. Reagan yesterday lost a
fat position with the board of works
for which he had struggled a year in
the courts to gain. He qualified as
superintendent of stone pavements dur
ing the Mendell regime under the civil
service. but left this to become a Ruef-
Schmitz police commissioner.
When his term expired he sought to
regain his old job. which was held
under a different title by Patrick Brod-
erick, who evaded the civil service by
temporary reappointments from month
to month. Yesterday Reagan's job of
general foreman in the street repair
department was abolished.
Last September. during his struggle
with the courts and the civil service
commission, Reagan stated in print
that Commissioner Casey of the works
board met him and said:
IF you obtain this position through
process of law, I'll abolish 1T"
When President Day was asked why
Reagan's position was abolished, he
said: This work can be done per-
fectly well by superintendent of Streets
Heath, saving an unnecessary expense.
Besides, Reagan was not efficient"

SCHOOL DIRECTOR
ARGUES FOR CLINIC
Thomas E. Hayden Believes
That About One Person in
Four Has tuberculosis

The statement by School Director
Thomas E. Hayden that one person out
of every four has tuberculosis in some
form or another was responsible for
an exciting moment in the meeting of
the hospital and health coNmittee of
the supervisors yesterday.
The Polk street district association
was present to protest against the new
tuberculosis clinic at Jackson and Lar
kin streets. The line of infected pa
tients going to and from the clinic. the
club said. was dangerous in view of
the school near by. Hayden, although
a school director, argued for the clinic
as member of the Society for the Pre-
vention and Cure of tuberculosis
1T is impossible to eliminate all
sources of Infection Hayden declared.
and whether person becomes badly
diseased depends on his physical con-
dition. More than likely 25 per cent
of the people in this room have tu-
berculOsis in a slight FORM,
This brought Rev. Samuel Quickmire
of the First Methodist church to his
feet He denied that tuberculosis is
so fashionable by a great deal. but
said it would be if clinics were allowed
to spring up in populous districts He
wished to protect the children and the
members of the church.
Chairman Payot then settled matters
by promising that a new ordinance
would be presented at the first meeting
of the board of supervisors.

LOST
A Valuable Hog.

One of the most valuable hogs in the
drove of large western breeder was lost
through an attack of the dread cholera.
and his other hogs were exposed to the
disease. This breeder had read of pre-
ventives but never having occasion to use
them was not supplied, and upon inquiry
could find none at the local store. One
dealer send to the Roc Chemical Concern
of Chicago and procured germicide which
effectively stayed the progress of the
disease, but the risk in waiting is great
Every dealer and every farmer should
provide themselves with the Roc remedy
and the farmer should follow the direc-
tions that go with it as to the care and
feed to be used, A dollar spent this way
may save thousand. Keep it in your
barn at all times. Ask.

New Process Makes Perfect Cleansing

Channels gloves will be widely worn
throughout the winter. and all who
favor these durable gloves will be
pleased to know that the manufacture
ers have been able to prepare a cha
mois glove that is boilable. Although
it is said that the kid may be actually
boiled without i'll results, the wiser
plan will be to do the cleansing with
hot water if necessary and avoid boil
ing.
These gloves are made to slip over
the hand and are about six button
length. A small strip of elastic at the
wrist on the front Of the hand is the
means of giving a snug fit there. The
elastic is guaranteed washable also.

A novelty Is heavy suede glove.
This should be popular. as this kind of

Glace kid is preferred for evening

although suede. too. will be used. The
latter Is a little less expensive.
