RHYME Of Wasted Mon.

The war goes on. there is nc sign
OF peace; no gifted prophet, in his
spangled robe. can send a dove around
the weary globe; the guns still roar,
the captains march and slay; mems
lives like thrashed out chaff, are
thrown away.
The young men die, In battle, siege
and rout; who knows what genius has
been blotted out? Perhaps a Shake
sreare lies among the slain, born to
the bays, and born, alas. in vain!
Full man a youth, with bright re-
splendent dreams, gives his warm
blood to swell the crimson streams
which moisten Europe, till their mists
arise and spread a veil of red across
the skies. The youth and genius of
the warning lands. with foolish weap-
ons in their artist hands, are carving
flesh, who should be carving stone, ara
welding swords when brushes are
their own.
Alas, what waste, what sinful waste
OF men, to prove the sword is mightier
than the pen!

AFTER YOU ARE FORTY

Forty years is middle age or should be.
People who squander their youth are old
at forty; everybody needs to give o little
more care to health and careful living
after passing the fortieth milestone.
The reserve of strength is not what it
used to be. Nature needs o little help If
We are to continue the work and worry
of modern life. To most people DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, non-alcoholic, but q
supporting tonic, gives just the necessary
assistance.
These pills make the thin blood rich
and red, carry nourishment to weak and
infamed nerves, increase the appetite
and make digestion normal, correct sleep
lessness and most forms of headache.
Try them for any trouble caused by thin
blood or weak nerves such as ane,nia,
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, lum-
bago, indigestion, sick headache or St.
Vitus' dance. 1t is surprising how many
diseases are due to thin and impure blood,
how quickly they yield when by proper
treatment the blood is built up and the
starved nerves nourished. DR.. Williams

Fire Walls.

The city council discussed informal

garages for automobiles. No definite
action was taken but the matter will
be held under consideration probably
for several days in order that a thor

be made before any decision is taken.
There is n thing, however, that all
three members OF the council are
agreed to regarding the construction
Of garages in the future. That is that
all must be fire-proof buildings, and
must be built between heavy fire walls
that, should the building burn, would
prohibit the fire spreading to adjacent
structures. This will be incorporated
in the ordinance when it is drafted.

Burlington Route Issues Sweeping
Order Against Cigars and ct-
garettss During Office
Hours.
ARE HIT TOO:
Fair Sex Employees viii Not BE Al.
lowed TO Chew Gum, This
New Order
Asserts.

Pioneering In railroad once deport-
ment, comes nov the Burlington rail
road with a decree that it's ONCE en-
ployes must eschew the cigar and
cigaret during office hours. Incident.
ally, the order carries with 1t most
drastic ruling against a practice OF
female employees. They must not chew
gum.
The Burlington's stand against the
use OF tobacco n gum chewing prob
ably is expected to be popular both
among persons who come IN contact
with railroad Offices and that element
that has denounced tobacco and chew
ing gum as an indication Of unrefine-
ment.
But the Burlington has purposes
other than the aforementioned in ban
ming the cigaret and chewing gum.
The order has it's emciency aim. The
primal purpose of the decree Is to
speed up those Office employees whose
habits have been conducive to wasted
time.
For instance, q cigaret smoker, II
he be permitted to smoke during Of
irnce hours, will pun from ten to NJ
teen cigarets a day. Strike an aver
age and call 1t twelve. Chances are
that he uses "makings." In that event
the rolling Of a cigaret, including the
time used in opening and closing the
tobacco sack and lighting the match.
will approximate one minute for the
average smoker.
This granted, the railroad submits
another hypothesis. The cigaret
smoker will slip the cigaret In and
out of his mouth as many as fifteen
times before 1t is fully consumed.
Then he must dispose Of the "snipe."
The time wasted in the consumption
ana disposal Of a cigaret Is estimated
at two minutes. Thus three minutes
are required to handle = single ciga-
ret between the time the tobacco bag
is extracted and the point where the
"fr.t" is discarded.
Twelve cigarets q day would foot
up one mans waste to thirty-six min.
utes. The average wage OF a Bur.
lington ONCE employe is $3.50 for q
day Of ten hours. BY close figuring
the result is reached that the aver.
age cigaret smoking employee of the
Burlington consumes thirty-six min.
utes, or 10 cents. of the company's
time every day that he works. EST
mating the total number of ONCE en-
ployes at 5000, 1t is shown that the
office employees OF the Burlington
waste 5000 hours a day in cigaret
smoking. At 25 cents an hour the
value Of this wasted time is shown to
be $3.50 a day. In a year $272,7so
worth of the Burlington's compensat.
ed time, goes up in cigaret smoke, &C
cording to the figures.
Meeting the objection that little
moro than half Of the Office employees
use cigarets, figures also r produced
10 show that the percentage Of those
who chew gum or smoke cigars or
waste time in these practices more
than Offset the difference.
Copies Of the order prohibiting the
use of tobacco and gum during ONCE
hours Will be posted in all Burlington
Offices by November 1.

Result Of Fire Friday.

The attention Of the council is d.
rected to this matter as a result OF
the Water Power garage fire of last
Friday evening. A number OF busi-
ness men who saw the fire discussed
the advisability Of presenting a petit
ton to the council asking for some
such restriction on garage buildings in
the future. It was the intention of these
men to ask that the location of gar
ages in the center Of q business block
be prohibited.
1t has not yet been decided by the
council whether they shall include in
the ordinance a clause prohibiting the
location of a garage in the business
district. This provision has already
been made in many cities, but many
others, like l-eokuk, have taken NO
such action on the matter.
