PLANS TO PROTECT
APARTMENT HOUSES
Maj. Richard Sylvester to Have Police
Ring Up from House

Maj. Richard Sylvester, Superintendent
of Police, has invented a new way to
protect jewellers in apartment houses
which will be put into operation on jan
uary / The plan is entirely original.
never having occurred to anybody be-
fore. and It Is expected that II will re-
duce the robberies in these buildings to
minimum.
The plan is to have the patrolmen
the apartment buildings Just as they do
now from the telephone patrol boxes.
This will give the occupants Of these
houses the greatest possible police pro-
lection.
The major explained yesterday that
the service could only be extended to
buildings whose owners were willing to
cooperate with the police. giving them
free use of the apartment telephone.
No additional expense can be incurred
by the department in carrying out the
proposed service.
Captains Of all the precincts have been
instructed by the major to put the prop
osition before the owners of apartment
buildings in their territories. A partial
list Of owners desiring the new service
has been returned to him. The majors
innovation has apparently found much
favor, as the majority of the owners
of the high-claSs apartment houses want
the new service. They are more than
willing TO give the police the free use
Of the house telephones for the addi-
tional protection afforded to their ten
ants and buIldings

Continued cold and the heavy snow
fall and the weather is working an ex-
IRENE hardship on the birds. The
snow fall has cut off their natural sup
ply of food, and the efforts of the little
fowls of the air to secure enough food
to sustain life should not be in vain.
Argument is not required to prove
that we need the birds. not only for
sentimental but for eminently practi-
cal reasons. Their presence has real
economic value, and it would be pity
if any number of our feathered friends
who brave our winters should be allow
ed to perish. when little aid would
pull them through this period of great
adversely.
It is not the English sparrow that is
hardest hit by the extreme winter
weather. He manages to take care of
himself, whatever the conditions may
be-, although just how he does it is
more or less of mystery. His pres
ence. it is true, rather complexities the
problem of how to provide rations for
those birds that are we'll worth cult
waiting. u
Hut the answer to this is that the
food supplies for the birds should not
be made so abundant that even the
sparrow's voracious appetite will not
consume all the grain. seed and table
scraps that are scattered outside. He
may take the greater share. as it is
his nature to d., but the supply can
readily be made ample for ell without
any particular expense OR trouble to
any individual, if all who love and ap-
preciate birds will each do his share.
Feed the birds in plenty during the
strenuous months of winter and when
the warm days come he will repay the
kindness by the destruction of thous-
ands of insects.

Many a mother has learned of a
way of avoiding sickness in her fam
lily, especially among the children, by
the use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
In all parts of America.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
1t is mild and never gripes. 1t is all
that a child's remedy should be,
though it is good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. 1t is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics,
which should not be given to chill
dren under any circumstances.

For Girls Protect on.

Cincinnati mas taken very imp0r-
tant step for the protection of the
working girl in that city and in the
future all amusement and dance halls
will be under the supervision of CON-
mittee appointed by Mayor Hunt.
Tn public dance hall has proven a
menace to the good moral of the Queen
City, and the municipal control of the
places of amusement is calculated to
remove the evil. Hundreds and hun
dreds of innocent girls lured into the
public halls and into other places of
amusement in the large cities, have
fallen victims to the vampires that in
fest such communities.
While dancing is an innocent amuse-
ment the entertainments in the larger
cities have furnished a screen behind
which some of the most atrocious
crimes have been committed. Young
girls, frequenters of such resorts, for
innocent amusement only. have been
led on by men whose sole object was
to accomplish their ruin.
Now the city of Cincinnati proposes
to take the matter in it's hands and
will gov ern dance halls in such man.
ner that the girl frequenters will be in
no danger. obj ctionable characters
will be barred and police protection
will be ample. This is good move
and will be the means of saving many

A few years ago after a woman had
passed thirty-five she was relegated
to the Preside and she looked and felt
old. She lived in her memory, and all
the money that was spent for little
frills and follies was given to her
daughter; for mother, ali was over.
Suddenly woman awakened to the
fact that after thirty-five she is at her
best, and that her beauty need not

A portion of our people seem disin-

except when they can't help it. They
will ask grocer to deliver a yeast
cake to their back door. But when it
comes to ordering a winters supply of
canned goods, they write to some dis
tant departm ent store.
1t should be needless to say that if
everyone did thus, we should have
stores to rent. fewer opportunities for
people to earn living at home.
On the con trary. If we all bought
everything possible at home, our stores
could keep even better stocks. 1t is a
great convenience to be able to make
selections from a good line of goods at
home. This becomes possible where
everyone Loyalty supports the home
merchants.
Under such circumstances existing
stores could do larger business, en-
ploy more people, and new concerns
would start. Every person owning
real estate or a business here would
see it grow more valuable.

Colds,

Numbers of people are suffering
just now from irritating colds in the
head. A very simple home remedy
which brings almost instant relief is
to pour half pint of boiling water on
to dram of pulverized camphor, and
to inhale the vapor for about ten to
fifteen minutes. The annoying fits OF
sneezing, running eyes and heavy
feeling in the head will quickly yield
to this remedy.
