A delegation Of property owners re-
siding on Tenth avenue north pre-
scented a petition to the city council
last night in which they requested that
the proposed new sidewalks in front
of their respective properties be kept
in the same place as the old board
sidewalks which are being removed.
They stated that according to the new
plans as proposedsby the city engineer
the trees they have planted would all
have TO come down and the new walks
would take seven feet off their lawns.
The city engineer showed a plan OF
that section of the city and the new
walks and parking system as projected
and recommended to the council that
the plans as set forth be adopted, as
to place the new cement walks in the
same place occupied by the old ones
now being removed would interfere
with the uniformity OF the parking
system of the street.
The council decided to adopt the city
engineers plans placing the walks
farther out.

DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE is
VITAL HOUSEHOLD PROBLEM
Large Proportion of Disease Engendered by Cans of Rubbish
Standing in Basement Look after the Jantor
BY IRVING II. HANCOCK

Tho city woman, especially II she live
in an apartment house, has only to see
to it that the garbage and rubbish go
promptly down to the janitor. All,
but is that all? 1t Is equally impor-
tant to know what the janitor does
with this refuse after he gets 1t. II
It stands uncovered in n dark, damp
basement it Is dangerous SO long as
it remains there. The housewife
should make 1t her business, from
time to time, to see just how the jan.
itor handles the refuse. He should
keep both garbage and rubbish in
covered metallic containers and in a
separate shed or closet, until tho
city's collector is due. II he does not,
ono can lodge effective, secret COM
plant with tho health department.
Uncovered tins of dusty rubbish,
standing in the basement OF an apart
ment house, afford ideal breeding
places for germs, which a draft or the
soles of shoes may spread all through
the house, and the neatest housewife
may have to pay a severe family
health penalty because of some slo-
venly neighbor. 1t is equally impor.
tant that the containers of refuse,
whom set out on the sidewalk for the
city's collector, be covered. Here an
entire neighborhood is endangered by

KEROSENE IS VALUABLE AID
TO WASHING DIRTY CLOTHES
Modern Labor Saving Devices Quite Indispensable in all House
holds that are to Run Smoothy-Keep Machines Clean
By MARGUERITE RUSSELL

Kerosene Is used for the washing
OF very dirty articles, in the proper
ton of one tablespoonful to four or
five gallons of boiling water, to which
at least one ounce Of washing soda
and quarter Of a pound of shredded
soap has been added. The clothes
without preliminary treatment are
put into the boiling liquid and
pressed down with stick until they
are wholly under water and allowed
to boil quickly for one hour, when
they must be removed and rinsed
thoroughly in at least three hot
rinsing waters containing a little dis
solved washing soda. This is neces'
sary to remove greasy matter, GER
tain amount of which adheres to the
clothes when they are taken out OF
the boiler. They should be blued
and hung In the open air to dry, to
deprive them OF the smell OF kero-
sene.

1t Is a rule with good many house
holders in smaller towns to have a
dust barrel or box In the yard, and to
burn the stuff when enough of it"
has accumulated. II the container be
left uncovered this habit amounts
merely to providing a breeding place
for germs and facilitating their dis
tribution. At the best, with a cover,
this yard container Of rubbish is un.
sanitary. Instant burning OF tho dust
removes the increasing bacteria from
further consideration.
II the garbage can be fed to swine
or poultry 1t is wise economy. But
this garbage should be fed at once
not left standing. If no such use for
1t exists, and there is no neighbor who
will take tho garbage daily, then this
harmful waste material should be
burned every day. The crude furnace
of bricks may be used, or ones in
genuity may devise some way of rig
cling up a metal container to fit over
the brick furnace. In this metal con
tainer the garbage can be dried thor
oughly over tho fire, and the dried
product is then available for use IN
the kitchen stove.

such things as this, and adopt labor
savers of every kind. provided that
their use does not materially increase
the wear and tear of clothes. There
is so much wear and tear upon iaun-
dry utensils that unless they are
strong and good they will not last

A washing board is of great as
sistance, and brush will be found
valuable, especially for collars, cuffs,
bands, and all frmer articles. The
use of washing and wringing ma
chimes causes less wear and tear, and
also save time. Wringing machines
are either attached to washing ma.
chimes or are movable, and can be
liked to a tub, table or stand.
Take the greatest care to keep
every part of the wringer, especially
tho india rubber rollers, clean, and
free from dust, oil and soapsuds.
Mangles, like wringing machines,
must be kept scrupulously clean.
Irons should be of different sizes and

OF course, the advantages of veg
etable garden are even more obvious
than those of the more ornamental
flower garden. In the first place, one
gets absolutely fresh vegetables, and
In the second place, one gets cheap
vegetables. Furthermore. one eats
moro vegetables. and this is con-
summation devoutly to be wished in
I this excessively carnivorous country.
When contemplating a vegetable
garden 1t is advisable to proceed as
outlined above in planning the flower
garden. Plot out your garden on pa
per. OF course, in this case 1t be-
comes much simpler task as the
vegetable garden is nearly always
square or rectangular and it becomes
merely question of allotting the
amount of space you will give to each
vegetable.
1t is calculated that tenth Of an
acre, carefully cultivated, will keep a
small family of four or five in vegeta-
blcs the year around. The soil should
be a light sandy loan. that crumbles
away in your fingers when you pick it
up. Make a list of the different veg
etables you want to grow. Determine
approximately the quantity of each
you will require.
Map 1t Out.
Then map out on paper with your
ruler the space you will give to them.
Crops that remain for several years,
such as rhubarb, asparagus or rad
ishes, should be kept all at one end.
After these should come those that
remain for one season, as, for in
stance, carrots, parsnips or onions,
At the other end yon should have
crops that arc rotated throughout the
season.
buying your seeds Is a very i'm
portant undertaking. Needless to say
you should buy the best and from the
most reliable dealers. 1t is almost
hopeless to Judge from catalogues, be-
cause Of tho contradictory doscrip'
lions, and your selections should, as
far as possible, be made personally
Don't mako the mistake Of trying to
save money by spending small sums
