 So many English actors have been put up at the Lambs that the club has long since become an "Englishman's home'- after the title of a war play which was done here a few seasons ago. There are more than 200 English actors on Broadway at the present time, as we'll as several dozen English actresses. They are talking about a room at the club where the Brit ons may check <their ''h's' and have hooks for their monocles. They will also need a room where they can enjoy each others jokes and not have some bally ak to have'a disgram drawn of it.

Baseball At Rickwood

"The fans had rousing time al Tues days game. said a baseball enthusiast
 Birmingham and Chattanooga were tied for third place in league standing and it looked for a time as though the team from the Tennessee city would win out. In the first inning Robertson, Bir- mineham's invincible pitcher, was touched for several hits and when the smoke cleared away the visitors were two scores to the good For the remainder of the game. however, 'Dickie' Robertson pitched air-tight bali, and In the fourth inning Tod Sloan came to his rescue with a home run which scored two runs, tieing the game. It was Danny Clarke, though, who broke up the game in the ninth in- hing by 'swatting' the ball to the fence with the bases full. Only one score was counted for this hit as this was the last half of the inning and the single score was sufficient to win the game.
 This makes Robertsons seventh con secut,ve victory, and Birmingham fandom in naturally exuberant over his triumph over Chattanooga in the first of the series'

HE KNEW

From the Youths Companion.
 The teacher was giving the geography class lesson on the cattle ranches. She spoke of their beef all coming from the west, and wishing to test the childrens observation, she asked:
 And what else comes to us from these ranches?"
 That was a poser. She looked at her shoes, but no one took the hint. She tried again.
 What do we get from the cattle besides beef?"
 One boy eagerly raised his hand

GOSSIP IN LONDON

That the great increase in the number of street fatalities in London and South wark is due to the want of lights in the streets was the opinion expressed recently at an inquest by London coroner
 "The large majority of cases" he said occur at night tme.".
 ''I am not, however. complaining of this, and none of us can complain. because we do not want bombs dropped on us. and the authorities are looking after our lives by their action.''
 touching story of affection for Lord Roberts is told in connection with a bust in bronze of the great soldier. for which he sat during the last year of his life. The bust has been executed by Prof. w. R. Cotton, A. R. A., and will be exhibited at the Royal academy.
 Just before Lord Roberts was due to make his first viist to the studio in St Mary Abbotts place, London, a new road was being made. MT. Colton mentioned one morning that Lord Roberts was conn ing there shortly, and he wondered how he was going to get past all the heaps and barricades
 The men thought a moment and then said they could not let their dear old SOL lier push his way through all the works They would put down pavement for him. They set to work quickly and did it. talk ing the pavement up again when Lord Roberts had regained his car in the Ken sington road.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

many years The Daily News has con-
Quoted a fresh air sanitarfum for
babies in Lincoln Park. God bless
the kiddies! Thousands of them need
fresh air and need better care than
many mothers have the time or I'm;
derstanding to give. Provision should
be made by the city for fresh air san
itaria adequate to take care of all
babies who need such special atten-
ton.
No doubt thousands Of babies have
been benefited by The Daily News in
stitution at Lincoln park. Now the
sanitarium has to be moved to an
other site in the park. This means
a new building, which means $50, 900.
If the city were contemplating ap-
propriating the necessary money or,
if needed, ten times that sum, The
Day Book would say go to it, help the
babies in every possible way. If some
generous citizen donated the money,
with hat in hand, The Day Book
would say thank you, even if the mo-
ney was known to be tainted.
But Mr. Lawson and his Daily
News with their soldering over the
dear babies nauseates us. The sani-
tarium at Lincoln park is Daily
News advertising Schemes 1t is de-
vice for giving the News a big ad at
a much-frequented place on public
land. The daily solicitation of funds
in the columns of the News is
double cheat it is an attempt to APP
pear sympathetic to the needs Of the

poor, and such popular subscription
gives colorado reason to subservient
park commissioners for permitting
Daily News advertisement in the
park. The News knows how to uti-
lie public property for its own adj
vantage.
Now Mr. Lawson's hired men are
busy sending letters to thousands Of
folks asking them to contribute to
$4,000 fund to be used for erecting
new building. These letters are
written with no innocent disregard Of
the value as advertising to the News.
Mr.. Lawson is reputed to have an
income of close to million dollars a
year. He might well give the park
commissioners $4,000 for the erec-
ton of a sanitarium, It might even
endow such sanitariurn. It would
be a .creditable thing to do. We
might, then have in the park Law
son SanitariuIn, but we would not
have Daily News ad. All this mon
keying around about popular sub
scription is due to no lack of coin
on Mr.. Lawson s part, but to desire
to advertise The Daily News at the
expense of the guIIib1e generous folk
of the community.
One distinguished citizen of the
town received three letters in one day
about the proposed new sanitarium
and altogether seven letters have
come from the News Office to him
about it. He has about decided TO
buy two copies of the News nightly
and to take additional advertising
space and thereby demonstrate his
appreciation of the philanthropic in
stitution located at Madison and Fifth
avenue.

charged in other parts of the world.
1t is thought, however, that this is
largely due to the fact that the Turk
ish soldier eats very little uncooked
food or cooked food which has been
exposed to contamination long. His
mess of rice, beans, peas, and meat
is generally too hot to invite a fly.
Every battalion in the field has
surgeon and number of trained
sanitary service men. Upon these
rests the task of keeping the camp
clean. Though this little organiza-
ton is also expected to be of service
to the wounded and sick, its first duty
is disease prevention.
All men at the front have been vac
cinated against typhoid and typhus-
vaccinated men are given a certif-
cate. The constant changing caused
by losses and reinforcements makes
frequent inspections of these certif-
Gates necessary. Men who fail to pro-
duce a certificate are Immediately re.
vaccinated. The same is true of men
whose certificate shows that the pc
Rod of immunity resulting from
prior vaccination is about to expire.
So successful has been this method
that on June "a, when the correspon-
dent visited a lazarett for contagious
cases, the entire Turkish force on the
peninsula had but three cases of mild
enterie fever and none Of typhoid or
typhus.
Sick and wounded are never ad-
nitted to the same hospital, nor are
they treated in the same tent, even
at the front.

WILL RECEIVE
BIDS ON TRUCK
HOUSE BONDS
CITY COMMISSIONERS WILL
OPEN NUMBER OF SEALED
OFFERS TODAY FOR BUILD
ING NEW CITY STRUCTURE.

At the regular meeting of the
board of city commissioners this aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock, the city commit
sioners will open all bids offered for
the construction of the truck house
on West Garden street. There will
probably be half dozen bidders, for
number of contractors have been
consulting the plans and specihca-
tons in the Office of the city clerk
during the past week.
The first bids for this building was
for the truck house and city stables
combined. Contractors figured too
heavy for the available money, it was
stated, and it was then decided to
ask offers for construction of the
truck house alone. That is what is
being bid for and which will be fig
ured on today.
1t was announced that the new
power truck would be shipped to Pen
sacola the first week in September,
or about the 18th day of the month.
1t will of course be placed in reserve
at one of the other city fire depart
ment houses, and will be thus looked
after pending the completion of the
modern building in which it will be
housed.
The bidding today is expected to
be lively, and the figures are expected
to be very close.

SOLDIERS
IN FINE HUMOR
THEIR HEALTH IS GOOD, FOOD
AMPLE AND WOUNDED BEING
WELL CARED FOR.

Constantinople, Aug. Is. - The
health of the Turkish troops at the
Gallipoli and Dardanelles fronts is
good, and the wounded from these
theatres of war are well cared for.
To this may be added that the Turk
ish medical staff has shown much re-
sourcefulness and that the occasional
paucity of materials and indictments
is met in a spirit one would not ex-
pect to find in an organization of
which so little good was said during
the late Balkan war. The capacity of
the hospitals inspected by the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent is over
5000.
Camp hygiene is well administered
in the Oottoman army. Trenches
visited were found to be scrupulously
clean. The food of the men is well
cooked and care is taken that none
but good water is drunk by the men.
Every effort is mare to keep the
clothing of the men free from YER
min and to facilitate this retorts, in
which infested clothes may be baked
or disinfected, are built wherever they
are needed. Great ingenuity has been
displayed in this. AS rule, the
retort is nothing more than a large
hole in some convenient hillside, sim
liar to a bakeoven. Its floor is paved
with brick or field stone, and under
this two other holes are dug for the
fire that is to heat the retort. The
construction is extremely sidple and
not single piece of iron is used in
it. Even the door of the retort is gen.
orally large rock.
Lime AS Disinfectant.
In the camps visited all latrines
were found in an excellent state. Lime
was being used as a disinfectant, be-
cause other chemicals can not be had
in Turkey at rpesent. To combat the
fly pest messes and kitchens are
placed so that air currents can
sweep through them. This method
is not as effective as screening, but
screens are hard to get in Turkey. 1t
may be said IN this connection that
the experience Of the Turkish troops
on the Gallipoi peninsula with flies
has been q most trying one, but that,
so far, the fly has not proven as great
an agent of disease as has been

county is treated to the oddly of a
county commissioner suing himself
and his fellow commissioners at a
court Of law, for the title of case
recently filed in the court house here
is, George w. Stahl VS.. John S. Tay-
Tor, ct al.
1t seems that the former board Of
commissioners passed a resolution
providing for certain drainage work
in the lower part of the county. The
survey Of the district included an
orange grove and townsite owned by
g. W. Stahl and his brother, Sidney
Stahl, known as Euclid Heights. The
bill Of complaint filed shows that Mr..
Stahl has been compelled to pay fifty
dollars drainage tax, whereas the for
mer board recognized an error had
been made in including the StahI
lands, and ordered the tax refunded.
The former board failed to relieve the
property from the common lien that
has been placed ON the district, as
Mr.. Stahl, who is a commissioner, Is
suing himself and his associates as a
board to remove the cloud of lien and
to restrain the tax collector from. coll
lecting further drainage tax from this
property. 1t is understood the board
was perfectly willing to do all this but
it would necessarily have to go
through the circuit court to make
everything correct in the records.
