HeIme Has New Plan.


Commissioner Helmo has another
plan which he expects will contribute
TO the observance of the pure food
laws. 1t is the awarding of printed
cards authorized by his department To
| those stores which come up To require
ments. These cards are really certfi-
Gates of excellence. Cards indicating
shops of the highest excellence in so
EAR as general cleanliness and purity
of materials used is concerned, are
white. Blue cards will be posted ina
the second-class shops, and red ones
have been printed for use in the third =
class shops. The cards are large in
size and the sanitary standing of the
shop in printed on them in large type.
Each card carries the commissioners s
signature
As planned the cards viii not serve
| as permanent guarantee but may be
revoked at any time. They serve as
| indications Of the inspectors Judgment
after their most recent visit. Violation
of any of the regulations on the part
Of any of the stores will result In the
| immediate loss Of the card The cards
viii be distributed by the inspectors
| under the supervision of the commits
sioncr.
The commissioner has not stated
whether these cards will be used
, throughout the entire state or only in
the larger cities, but the plan is a very
popular one with shoppers, where ii
| has been tried. Further information
| concerning the local application OF this
plan, if il is applied locally. is expect
ed when the commissioner visits the

OF Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Long. Of No.

bitten. George Schouck. boarder
at the house saved the child from be-
ing torn to pieces.
Schouck, at his own danger. rushed
into the ward and grabbed the dog
from the PROSTATE form OF the child.
The child was bleeding from various
wounds about his neck face and head
and was carried 20 the office OF Dr.. J.,
Harvey Spruanco at Second and Mon
roe streets, where his injuries we're
treated. II requires four stitches to
close a wound back OF the child's left
ear and five under the chin. In addi-
ton there we're numerous wounds on
the child's face and body.
The dog was owned by a friend OF
tho child's father. who was to have
taken the animal to the country to-
day. Meantime the dog had been
tied to fence I'm the yard, and while
the child. with several other children
were playing there this morning he

Reduce Width Of Roads.

The suggestion of the governor Of
Iowa that public roads should be re-
duced IN width is e very sensible one.
The governor proposes to make the
roadway 40 feet wide and turn the
rest of the land back into the farms.
While this would add many thousands
Of acres to the tillable land of the
state, the best feature OF the plan is
that II would greatly reduce the cost
Of keeping the road in good condition
l never could see the reason for main
tanning 70-foot highway with a little

feet on each side growing up to weeds

POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
American Farmer Pays 25 Cents Milo
Per Ton for Carrying Farm Prod
uets 70 Market.

There are 2.10O 900 miles Of public
roads in this country Only 100000
miles, or per cent, are improved.
All the rest can be fairly described as
bad roads. The waste of our natural
resources, reckless as it is. is moth.
inf compared to the money waste
brought about by this condition OF
our highways.
It costs the French peasant an av.
erage Of ~ cents a mile per ton to
haul his produce to market. 1t costs
the American farmer an average Of
% cents a mile per ton. or 100 per
cent. more than the Frenchman Dur.
ing the year 1905-l906 hauling OF
farm produce TO shipping points
amounted to between forty and forty.
FIVE million tons weight. The average
haul was s.4 miles. If the farmers
could have done their hauling over
French roads. instead of their own
inferior ones they would have netted
s5s. 100000 more on their crops.
But all the hauling to shipping
points is not done by farmers by any
means. The interstate commerce
commission tells US that in all some
thing like 25O,0o0,O00 tons are hauled
for shipment every year. The willing.
ness to move this immense volume OF
freight over poor roads, as against
good roads such as France enjoys,
costs the country a cool unnecessary
s305, 1000 900 year.
These figures and facts come from
the office Of Logan Waller Page. the
United States director OF public works.

Really Holding Back Construction Of

In an article on Split Log Drag

a road whereon one may ride or
drive with pleasure or have full load
without strain upon the horse. We

ITO do this the road must have
hard, smooth surface and offer the
minimum Of resistance.
AN earth road may be an excellent
one today and tomorrow a very bad
one. It may be a delight in June and
a fright in March. Such roads have
the virtue OF a balky horse, they arc
liable to fail when most wanted

BONDS IN NEW YORK STATE
Second Issue Of s5o,ooo,ooo Was Great.
est Thing in Good Road History
Of Last Year.

The greatest thing in good roads
history in 1912 was the action of New
York in voting a second state bond
issue OF s50.O00.0OO There was some
opposition to the proposition. but il
went through with a good majority.
New York has led all other states in
road improvement Under the act of
1906 it issued s5O,O0O,OOO worth OF
road bonds. This it spent at the rate
of about s5,O0O,OO0 a year. With what
has been spent and with contracts
made the whole sum has been dis.
posed OF, and so the new S5.OO0 nm
comes in 70 continue the work. These
huge huns have enabled New Yor,-
to more than double her mileage ~
improved roads and TO sroject larga
plans for trunk lines Incidentally n
means an increase in the direct ta~
Of about s2.5oO.OOO yearly.

CITY WILL
COLLECT THE
RUBBISH PILES

The Board OF Directors Of the Street
and Sewer Department on Tuesday
will consider a resolution which in the
main provides that the old system Of
collecting rubbish be returned to, and
the plan in operation the past month
be discontinued. The resolution will
be passed at the following regular
meeting of the board.
On April 10 the department entered
into contract with Demetrio Lo-
prete. Of Newark, n. j.. for a period
Of two years to collect all rubbish
In the city. After one months trial
the new regulations were found un-
satisfactory both 10 householders and
the department insofar as the regu-
lations required that the rubbish
material shall be collected within the
building lines. On account Of the
failure in a large majority Of in
stances for the collectors 10 obtain im-
mediate access TO the premises this
caused delay not anticipated when the
regulations we're adopted. The one
mcnths experience also shows that
the location OF a considerable num-
Der of the entrances TO the premises
in the city for the collection OF rub
bish from within the building lines
are so arranged as 10 entail an eX-
penditure Of money greatly In excess
o. the amount which the Board of Di-
rectors should expend for this work.
Mr.. Loprete has signihed to the
board his intention Of abandoning the
contract after today and 10 allow the
Street and Sewer Department TO pro-
ceed against the bond fled for the
faithful performance Of his agree
mcnt, and as 10 enforce the contract
would entail a cost on the board far
In excess OF the departments finan-
cial ahality 20 carry on the work as
provided in the contract the depart
ment in the resolutions will decide 20
change the new regulations whereby
rubbish material shall be placed
aicng the curb for collection instead
o. within the building lines, which
plan the months experience has
shown to be the desire OF a great
majority OF houaehoiders.
Hereafter rubbish will be collected
on the same days as aches are col
lected. the plan I'm effect before the
contract with Loprete went into ef-
feet
While Mr. Loprete drops the one
contract he will enter into an other
with the department 20 furnish the
necessary labor and teams 10 spread
and clear the places used by
the department for the deposit-
ing OF rubbish and ashes. and
10 pay 20 the Boord OF Directors
certain sum OF money for the privi-
lego Of culling and picking rubbish
material from inc places of deposit
For the privilege OF picking the
dumps ne agrees 10 pay the city $500
a year. Under the contract he has
Jus, given up the Street and Sewer
Department agreed to pay his $500
year TO collect rubbish but he did
not live up 10 the contract by failing
to collect all the rubbish.
The DAYS for collecting the ashes
and rubbish and districts will remain
the same. The street and Sewer De-
partment viii insist however, on the
householders wrapping up all rub
bish before placing II on the curb.
