done at public expense is benefit to
all and a hardship to no one.
Rock Island has much to do in this
line and it must be hoped that in the
near future an increased amount will
be appropriated for this purpose.
Great Need for Sidewalks.
Rock Island also needs much in the
way of sidewalks, not only in the
newer sections, where much grading
should be done by the city before
walks are laid. but in parts where old
brick walks are in bad condition.
The law of Illinois regarding side
walks is such that there is no speedy
and practical way to compel the re-
pair of old walks and often the only
remedy open to the commissioners is
to pass ordinances for new walks,
which sometimes seems a hardship to
the property owners. This matter is
largely in the hands of the property
owners and conditions can be made
better for all during the coming year
il everyone will look 70 his own prop
erty. The same is true of the matter

the city to clean walks is limited

These bacteria live and thrive in milk
The only way to protect the consumer
from the dangers of these diseases is
to inspect the source of milk supply.
Clean milk is more to be desired than
rich milk. We have heretofore con-
sidered richness as the only essential.
Cleanliness can be most easily and
surely attained by the use of the

Notwithstanding the fact that all
