Suggestive Proclamation.

To the Public-Greeting:
We are living in an age of the pre-
vention of many diseases which have
their incubus in insanitary and un-
wholesome conditions. 1t is we'll
known that tuberculosis is most prev
alent in overcrowded, unventilated, in
sanitary, dark, damp houses; that
typhoid fever is the result of contain
mated water and food, and that flies
hatch in manure, garbage, ashes and
waste, and are known to be the great
est germ carriers in this latitude.
Within the past few years a public
sanitary conscience has been devel-
oped. Our people are coming to un-
derstand that society must protect the
individual against disease, vice and
crime.
Therefore, as mayor of this city, l
do request and advise that Monday,
April 21st, shall be set aside and
known as general cleanup day, and l
do earnestly request and advise that
all garbage, manure and waste of
whatsoever kind, shall be removed
from yards, streets and alleys, and
that throughout the entire summer
persistent and constant efforts shall
be made to keep the city clean and
that relentless war shall be made
against the house fly.
Dated at my Office this 18th day of
April, 1913.

scratches on the bullet have been made
by bits of rust or other inequalities In

was fired?

nothing to do with the bullet, for the
former had been there a long while,

another ball should be fired from it the

Continue Assessment.

Indianapolis, Dec. By an
overwhelming majority, in fact, by
a vote of over Z to /, the United
Mine Workers have voted by refer
endum to continue the payment of
so cents per month assessment to
support the strike now on in Col
orado and British Columbia. In
commenting upon the large major
ity by which the assessment is con-
tinued, the United Mine Workers
Journal says: BE blessed, our
miners who, in their daily dangers,
in their humble poverty, never fail
to reveal the Christian spirit of
brotherhood, and, according to the
occasion, be it a disaster or an in
dustrial struggle, are always ready
to sacrifice their lives or divide
their thin loaf of bread"

Washington, Dec. 5. Senator
Stone on November 10, submitted
three resolutions in the Senate fol
the purpose of securing informa-
tion from various departments of
government with reference to the
Importation of convict made goods.
There has been a law uron the
statute books for the last twenty
FIVE years prohibiting the importa
ton of convict made goods. Re-
Gently cemplcint has been made
that these goods were being i'm
ported, notwithstanding the fact
that the new tariff expressly pro.
hibits their Importation. In the
European penal institutions the
manufacture of commodities takes
wide range. The information
sought by the resolutions intro
duced by Senator Stone is for the
purpose of forming a basis upon
which to construct legislation to
cover the defects, if any, which
will be brought out by the COM
pliance with the resolutions re-
ferred to.

strike because of dispnte with the
principal over the part that ath-

investigated the case and made a
decision. The board of education
met, but remained silent upon the

New York, Dec. 5.-The strike
of the 400 members of the Cloth
Spongers and Examiners Union
