According to a decision Of the
city attorney automobile drivers
may use the sidewalks of this city
wirh impunity, and when the road
way is a little muddy the autos can
be driven on the sidewalks without
fear Of punishment. X. +. Brig
ham, driving an auto for the Ideal
Candy Co., was arrested by the po-
lice department Tuesday for using
the sidewalk on West Burlington
street for a roadway. He put up
S75 for his appearance next morn
ing at the municipal court, but the
attorney refused to find a case
against him, claiming there is no
ordinance covering and making
such acts misdemeanors. With in
stances Of parties being arrested
and fined for simply driving across
the sidewalks with a wagon float
ing through their minds the police
department is In a"wrathful state
over the attorneys ruling. They
point to Ordinance No. 9, which
reads: "lf any person or persons
shall trespass upon OR damage any
real estate or personal property be-
longing TO the town OF ST. Johns
.xx * shall be deemed guilty Of a
misdemeanor," punishment for
which is IS to Sroo fine or inn
prisonment. II this act was not a
case of trespass the police are at a
loss TO comprehend what the word
means aud what would constitute a
trespass. One thing is quite mani.
fest, |. c. II this ordinance does not
cover such acts aud there are no
other laws in force in St. Johns that
do, IL is high time that a suitable
ordinance be drafted, passed by the
council aud placed OH the munich
pal statutes with the least possible
delay, lest pedestrians be compelled
to take to the muddy streets in or.
der that autos may have full use OF
the sidewalks.

Because an actress in Portland
sold Red Cross stamps for a couple
of hours in one of the Portland
stores last week some of her ad-
mirers presented her with a neck
lace set with precious stones. Just
think what a lot of Red Cross

sent, and what a better and more

served had it been applied for the

At the school meeting last night
the teachers petition for a 20 per
cent raise in salary was turned
down hard and cold, in spite of the
vigorous lobbying by one of the
lady instructors. A tax rate of s.
mills was fixed. This is better
than 20 per cent below Portland S
rate for school purposes. Even
those favoring annexation cannot
help but feel elated over the differ
ence in both school aud city levies,
being 40 per cent in our favor in
each instance, and yet ample.

The city tax was placed at S mills
last Tuesday night. This one mill
lower than Portland's levy, or a

REST WEARY FEET
USE OF STOOLS A RELIEF FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE.
Can Be Used to Advantage Without
Delaying Work Mnute-Hi9h
and Low Stools a Great
Convenience.

Housewives can give their tired feet
rest without delaying their work
one minute simply by judicious use
| Of the high and low stool.
First the high stoo-. 1t should be
cushioned and used often.
Just look at the hours that wom-
an stands at the stove stirring
saucepan or doing such little odd
things around the cook stove. Is there
any reason known to culinary science
why such work should not be done
with a long spoon from the comfort
able height Of the tall stool? The
little girls In the cooking school are
not required to stand at their work
any more than are the scholars In the
day school. They sit down to 1t, and
the toll is lessened to a most apprect-
able extent by that restful position,
and there Is no damage done to the
contents of the saucepan by reason OF
the stirring being carried on from
high stool instead Of In the usual way
Of the housewife.
Dishwashing can be done as we'll
from a high stool as while standing
on ones tired feet.
Then that low stool, It's usefulness
imagine any woman being without
one and yet how few homes have
such a thing for the purpose sug-
gested!
Being light and easy to carry. 1t
can be taken from room to room by
the housewife and used for a rest
when the tiresome work of straight
ening the lower drawers in the bureau
has to be done or the books on the
lower sheR Of the book rack busted,
or the laundry sorted out, all Of which
operations require one to sit on the
floor or else break ones back bend
ing over. Avoid this sort of calls
themes when it is not necessary. Use
a low stool and rest.
Another use for this little stool Is
when packing suit case or trunk.
| work that will be frequently on the
days list during these months. Don't
kneel on the floor for that kind OF
work The hinges of the knees will
get rusty soon enough without such
unnecessary provocation. How rest
full 1t is to sit on one of these little
bamboo seats when doing such work.
Then when 1t is necessary to reach
up to clean the chandelier or hang
picture. the little bamboo friend comes
in handy again, for 1t is just the right
height to elevate one to the gas globe
or the picture cord. Finally. don't
overlook the fact that the little bam-
boo stool is a most useful and COM
Portable footstool when you are en-
joying the luxury Of rest time on the
porch.
