House.

to Webster City people who enjoy

the cantata is as follows:
The Queen Of the Flower fairies,
weary of a life Of unbroken calm,
prays of the newly returned Spring
that he will bestow upon her also
the gift of love that he bestows up
on man. He warns her Of the risk
she runs, but finally yields to her en-
treaties by changing her while she
sleeps into the form of beautiful
girl. Under the name of Rose-blos-
som, she wanders through the world
to find the love that she seeks, and
meets with a girl who, having been
betrayed and deserted by her lover,
loses her senses and dies broken
hearted. But. undeterred from her
search, Rose-blosson becomes the
wife Of a forester with whom she
lives for a time In such perfect hap
piness that she cannot survive his
death. The elves bewail the fate Of
their queen, and curse love as fatal
to peace and happiness.
The admission fee for the cantata
will be universal one Of so cents
that all in the city may attend.

In removing the batteries the wires
connecting them were torn out.

.HEDON|STS have
EVENING OF FUN
Club Takes in Five New Members in
Novel Feature Evening at
G. W. Lee Home.

The members of the Hedonist
club, comprising about fifteen young
women, mostly teachers, were roy
ally entertained last night at the
home Of Miss Edith r. Lee. When
new members are taken into this
club-whose purpose is purely fun
and recreation-there are at least
two stunts they are required to per-
form by request of the club. The
third one they are to do themselves
and is, that the new members enter
tain the remainder OF the club for
an evening of fun. The guests were
requested previously to come attired
in evening costume, and they found
upon their arrival at the Lee home
that they were to attend the opera
in body. Society was in her best
clothes, gentlemen and ladies alike
were in the best of spirits, and the
large auditorium was filled with q
distinguished audience, including a
real Italian count with imported OPP
era glasses. Some idea of the kind
of operatic program may be conceiv-
ed when the names Of the aspirants
for membership in the club are
known: the Misses Pearl Neel,
June Baker, Hazel Bemis, Ethel
Guthrie and Lorene Mikel.
All of the two boxes Of the audi
torium were filled, the parquet
crowded, the dress circle glittering
with fashion and elegance, while
"nigger heaven" had also its occu-
pants.
Handsome programs were distrib-
uted by the SWEETEST" ushers ever
seen and the overture-a selection
from showpan--began the evenings
pleasure. Following the overture
the Castles. in a perfectly moral SEN
sation, entertained the audience
with an artistic feature. Doing the
Berg a-la-Ford by Hank and Marie,
disturbed the calm equilibrium OF
the audience for time, until the
next number by Mike, the boy orator
who has performed before all the
bald heads Of America. Novelty
seekers were not disappointed in this
precocious youth whose "guesstures"
were as perfect as his flow OF Ian
guage.

cluded with q dram farcical tragedi-

PRACTICAL PRESCRIPTION
AGAINST, STOMACH AclDITY

Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the
stomach itself is not diseased but II
this acid condition is allowed to con-
tinue, the acid is very likely to eat
into the stomach walls and produce
stomach ulcers which may render q
radical surgical operation necessary
even to prolong life. Therefore, an
"acid stomach" is really a dangerous
condition and should be treated Sc
Tiously. It is utterly useless to take
pepsin and ordinary stomach tablets.
The excess acid or stomach hyper.
acidity must be neutralized by the ad-
ministration of an efficient antacid.
For this purpose the best remedy is
bisurated magnesia taken in teaspoon
full doses in q fourth of a glass Of
water after each meal. Larger quanti-
ties may be used If necessary as it is
absolutely harmless. Be sure to ask
your druggist for the bisurated magle-
sia as other forms OF magnesia make
effective mouth washes but they have
not the. same action on the stomach as
the bisurated. For sale by Benson,

FIRED
FROM QUARRY
BY SUPERVISORS

Mayor Lane and Supervisors AHA
Arnold and Quinn visited the municipal
rock quarry at Moiliili Tuesday and
succeeded in adjusting trouble at the
quarry by settling the blame for the
argument between Harry Gregson, for
mer engineer, and Foreman Hurley
upon the former.
Gregson complained that he had Ia
ken q gasoline engine apart and then
assembled It. that it failed to work and
that Hurley refused TO allow him fur
fhef to taHaper with the engine.
Whereupon Gregson resigned and made
a complaint to the supervisors. After
his resignation, Hurley engaged gas
oline engineer to repair the engine
and the latter reported that Gregson
did not put the parts together cor
rectly The engine Is running now and
the officials decided that the city was
better without Gregson as engineer.
Incidentally, Horner preached his
proposal to establish crushed rock
.bunkers at different parts of the city,
to be filed by electric freight cars,
that the streets might not be longest
ed and destroyed by trucks hauling
crushed rock to and from the quarry,
The bunkers would act as supply sta.
lions in the districts at which they are
erected. 81

NEW Accounting
SYSTEM Adopted
FORCI1i OFFICES
Uniform Method fer Alb Depart
ments, Centralized IN One
!, Bureau, to Be Used

In line with the movement started
here two years ago, when the Hawaii
graft expose shocked the community,
for Q scientific Aeeeunting system, the
board Agf superyisors at ga meeting
Tuesday night through motion made
by Supervisor Arnold, voted to inaug.
urate q complete new system Of &C.
eeunting Tor the city and county.
For several months the auditing de-
partment has been devisiRg this sys-
tenn and Il is now ready TO be launch
ed. The necessary forms will prebab-
ly be printed at once. This new sys-
tenn completely rey9Iutionizes the &C
counting for all departments and cen.
traiizes It In one department. II
The aims OF, the new system are to
show the cost of government as be-
tween labor and material and mainten-
ance and operation. Il will show also
the cost Of permanent OUTLAWS, which
eventually find their, WAY to the in
yentory sheets and thus enable addi-
tons to be made to property accounts
without reference to the department
concerned. .@ .I.9 ~. ......,-..5.....E

The new system viii also require
unit cost data from every department
upon its principal functions, such as
operating motor-driven trucks and
trains. operating quarries and crush
ers, feeding Of prisoners, stabling of
animals, eperation of pumps, street
lighting, etc. It will show an annual
balance sheet as we'll. -.
The new system provides for a sin
gle uniform voucher form, thereby do
ing away with, the multiple color
voucher scheme as at present. It per-
mits merchants to carry but one ae-
count with the city and county as
against accounts with every bureau of
the city as at present, and it will
make for prompt settlement of ac-t
counts as soon as they are presented
and audited. The warrant register
system will also be abolished to give
place to a loose leaf Register, which is,
built up as claims are audited and
-. -.
There will be a standardization of
expense accounts in the different de-
What is regarded as one,
Of the big and important features of,
the new system is that it provides
for, monthly comparisons of all ex.i
penses IN all departments. .. :,
Lastly it provides for all receipts
and expenditures exhibits to be sub
