In this plan we have a dwelling OF
modest dimensions, being 20 feet from
front to rear. and 30 feet in width,
with four-foot extension to make
room for a pantry. In this way we
get three splendid rooms on the first
floor, and they are we'll arranged for
both convenience and looks.
Pantries were never properly built
until this outside attachment was hit
upon. II was born OF necessity. like
many other valuable inventions, and
was improved upon as occasion de
manded. Pantries are intended for
the storage OF food, both cooked and
otherwise. Naturally, pantries should
be kept as cool as possible. and they
should b. well ventilated at all times

Winter radish seed is mixed with
the turnip at the time of sowing the

grow with the same treatment that is
given to turnips. They are harvested
and stored together for winter use.

visited many times during the prepa-
ration of each meal. and meals come
along regularly three times day in
most healthy families. You can't have
a cool pantry, and have It built in the
body of the house along with the
other rooms, especially in furnace
heated house.
In one little house where a pantry
attachment like this was built on, the
space below was made into a cold
fruit room. The main cellar wall was
carried across solid and straight, ex-
cept for doorway; and a good. heavy
door was hung In the opening. The
outside wall under the pantry was car
ried up in the same solid way. and a
good outside window put in. which

OF the movement for purity of COM
mercial life, some time ago made this
astounding declaration:
ITO cleanse the Augean stable re-
Quired the strength of a Hercules; to
cleanse our commercial and profes-
sional life Of the fouIness of bribery
and corruption will require the CO.
operation of all men who love pure
and clean hands"
icating the malignant canker" of
bribery was the passing of the act
of 1906.
Briefly stated, the provisions OF the
measure make II a misdemeanor, pun
ishable. on summary conviction or on
indictment, with fine or imprison-
ment:
"G For any agent corruptly to re-
ceive any gift or consideration for do
ing or not doing any act, or showing
or not showing favor or disfavor, in
relation TO his principals affairs.
go For any person corruptly to
offer such gifts or consideration to
any agent.
"(3) For any person to give to an
agent, or for any agent to use, any
false or defective receipt or other
business document with intent to de
ceive the principal"
Two important points must be kept
in mind: The bribe or commission
must be given or received corrupt
ly," and the false document must be
used with intent to deceive" Then,
again, amy person employed by or
acting for another" comes within the
scope OF the term agent"
The one fact standing out clearly
and boldly is that the Secret Com
missions and Bribery Prevention
league has already more than justi-
fed its existence.
It's committee has investigated
large number OF cases which have
been brought to their knowledge; they
have given advice freely to members
and others interested in the working
of the act: they have issued thou
| sands of letters and circulars, and
| they made representations to the war
office and other public bodies as OPP
portunities have arisen and circum-
stances have warranted action being
taken.
In one case buyer for a certain
foreign government, placing an order
I'm England, proposed secret COM
mission of e100 for himself. The
seller replied that, as member OF
the secret commissions league. he
could not give it. But he got the or

the thin ewes should be separated

JANUARY MEETING
Of CITY COUNCIL
Salary OF the Mayor to Be Elected in
April Cut From $500 to
$500 a Year.

The regular January meeting of the
City Council was held last night with
the following officers present: Mayor
Harris, Aldermen DAILY, Wick, Wilson
and Haswell, Marshal Boyett, City En-
gineers Carson and Adams, Electrician
Smith, City Secretary Crenshaw, As.
sistant Secretary Lewis and City At

The minutes of the previous meet
ing we're read and approved, and the
visitors were given a hearing.
Rev. w. R. Brown was present and
requested that water line, no matter
what size, be extended from w. r.

street to his home on Pletzer street.

The report of the engineers on the
curbs and cutters was read, and they
advised the council to accept them,
as they were about up to the standard
required by the contract. They also
suggested that the intersecting streets
where the water fountains are located
should be paved with concrete, as the
water has a bad effect on the Westru-
mite paving. This motion was made
and carried. They also voted to pave
said streets back to the property lines
as this will do away with the mud
which is sure to collect at these in.
tersections. AS this will be done with
concrete the engineers were instructed
to draw up specifications and adeer-
tise for bids to pave the streets.
A motion was made and carried
that the sewerage system be inspected

Hensarling was celebrated Thursday
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. L..
Buchanan of Steep Hollow, a son-in-
law and daughter of Uncle Abe's.
Nearly all the members of the family
were present and large number of
invited guests, among whom were
some of the old settlers, who were
present at the first celebration, which
was his fiftieth birthday. One of the
best dinners that could possibly be
devised was served to the guests, and
everybody reports one of the best
times they have had at any of these
annual celebrations. Uncle Abe was
as happy as could be. with all his
children and grandchildren around
him, and looked much younger than
eighty years of age. The members of

and that all who had not been paying,
even for small drainage pipe con-
nection. should be charged, as this will
mean to the city several hundred dol
lars year.
The salary of the Aldermen was
voted to remain as it is now, SO for

furnished the business for this meet
ing, and after reading the secretary's
report, the meeting was adjourned un-
til next Tuesday night, when an ad-
iourned meeting will be held.
