TN THE NEW NOVEL "TFIE PRODI-
i GAL JUDGE" MIR. KESTER has pro-

duced book of which any American
novelist might be proud. He has Transcribed
a period In vivid fashion and we know Of
no book of its pretensions more essentially
American or so full of the real favour of our
early evolving conditions.
MIR. Kester has touched high water mark
In describing the broad places, the family
scorched roads but lately pushed BY pioneers
over the hills, the winding rivers that flowed
by the occasional settlements. The humo-
and pathos of the old prodigars life give to
the story quality and tone Of rare merit.
What is most encouraging Is that MIR. Kester
has written a best seller which really de-
serves the wide success It will, without doubt,
continue to have, and we should not be sur-
prised If Its dramatic possibilities were trans-
lated into play form. n. ss.s-..

HEALTH
OFFICER
NOTIFIES

Health Commissioner l. Milestone
served notices on FIVE tenants to vaca e
a filthy shack at 1914 efferson street
which is owned by an eastern man and
for which ODonnell and Norton are
the agents.
The shack, 2ox6o feet, was divided
into sixteen compartments and has at
times housed many tenants. Each
tenant either used his compa rtment for
mis- family or kept from FIVE to ten
boarders so that at times there has
been as many as 100 people living in
this dirty hovel.
According to DR. Milestone the shack
was in an indesiribably filthy condi-
tion and the garbage accommodations
and outhouses are declared to be a
disgrace to any civilized community
and rannpaay breeder of typhoid
fever and other diseases.
Each compartment contained two
rooms. One was used for cooking white
the other was used for sleeping pur-
poses. There are similar other sixteen
compartment shacks on the south side
erected by greedy owners who bleed
their tenants and make them pay high
rental rates.

However, tomorrow. Gary will be dry

of Budweiser or a highball is concern
ed. The lid will be on so tight that
there won't be a chance even for a
