this difficulty has been suoo essfully

quite possible that administrative
causes would prevent the adoption

GREAT CLEANUP
ARRIVED AT LAST

The much. postponed cleanup day
has arrived and the members Of the
Civic improvement league. citizens,
business men and several teams are
out this afternoon cleaning up the
RIB bish and hauling 1t away to the
trash pile. The accumulation Of dirt
is not SO much today as last year, and
before nishtfall the city will be
wearing q bran new spring dress.
This cleaning mp movement IL .
splendid thing for tina city In gener-
81, and 1t was happy day when the
ladies of the city first thought Of
the organization of such society.
Their object In the formation Of the
league was the protection of health
first and more beautiful home town
secondly. Both of these have been
accomplished. The health conditions
of Florence are much better now
than at any time and the oity has 3
more cleanly and inviting appearance.
Everybody is entering into this
booster spirit with the most friendly
and cordial feelings Warfare to the
death is being waged on the filth. tin
cans and other accumulation of the
last year, and by the end of the day
it will have vanished from the city.
and will make one big heap on tine
outskirts Of the city limits.
The movement was started In earn
est last year. and the city was given
the first thorough cleaning up 1t has
ever had. At that time there were
hundreds of wagon loads of refuse
taken out Of the CITY. and 1t had been
accommodating since the town was
first born. From that time on the
work will not be 80 ardous as the dirt
will be taken away every year In
the future, and the number Of wagon
loads each year will be considerably
reduced.
The citizens of Florence generally
should take their hats Off to the ladies
Of the Civic Improvement league.
for they are only taking hold of a
duty that the men Of the town have
overlooked, or rather side stepped.
In this body of women the city has

STOPPED THE NOISE.
A Chemists Suggestion to a Maker Of
Prussian Blue.

TTu5slaN Blucs
The great German chemist, Liebig
related that when he was young
man a manufacturer Of prussian blue
who was showing him through the
works drew his attention TO the deaf
ening noise made by certain commit
nuting and mixing machines These
machines consisted OF large iron NOR
tars in which iron pcstles were actu-
ated by machinery. The pestles pound
ed the mater lis to fine condition
and mixed them On Liebig's suggest
ing that some means ought TO be de
vised TO prevent the terrible lin made
by the machines the manufacturer
told him that it was IL singular fact
that the more noise the pestles made
the better was the blue produced. It
happens that in making prussian blue
iron is a necessary constituent Of the
mixture, a fact that did not seem to be
thoroughly appreciated by the manu-
facturer Re was therefore much sur
prised when Liebig told him that the
iron which was necessary to produce
the color was rubbed off MS machin-
cry, the most cktravagant way to sup
ply it. lie understood for the first
time, moreover, why it was that the
greater the noise from the friction Of
the pestcs in the mortafs the better
the blue produced. lie thus learned in
an expensive way that it was better

mixture than to grind it eff high priced
