 requested to subdivide their territory

 SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS l We have now finished our work and
 we beg leave to submit the following
 recommendations:
 I l. We recommend that the city be re- quired to abolish the dumps within the city limits.
 We found the very worst conditions
 near these dumps and we respectfully and firmly submit that the citizens in the congested districts cannot take any pride In keeping their premises in a sanitary condition when the city is
 using the adjacent grounds for the pur- pose of dumping.
 2. We recommend that the city com
 missioners be requested to rescind the ordinance permitting persons raking
 over the dumps for the purpose of get ting paper to sell or for other pur- poses, and we suggest that more care be exercised in handling garbags cans and that garbage wagons be covered In future.
 3. We recommend that property own CTS who rent to persons In the con- gested areas be forced to comply with the law.
 Numbers of instances were found where large property owners do not comply with the existing law in put i ting in sanitary dry closets in unsew- cred sections, and in sections where the sewer abuts the property and they have sanitary connections, there are only two or three toilets for as many as 20 families, which Is a violation of existing ordinances.
 4. We recommend that the property owner be held responsible for the con- ditions of vacant lots and that the law covering proper drainage be enforced. i 5. We recommend that the county adopt and put into practice the recom-
 mendations of pr. Carol Fox in put ting the county in a sanitary condi- tion. It will be almost useless for Bir-
 mingham to clean up unless the county does also. None liveth to himself" we
 can paraphrase NO community liveth to itself" 6. We recommend that the city au- thorities be requested to appoint some man or woman in each block, as far as possible, to act as volunteer inspector without pay, for that block, to cooper ate with the health authorities in san | itary matters.
 '. We recommend that permanent i organization of men and women be l formed, to be composed of the above named volunteer inspectors, together with such other citizens as will vol unteer to do inspection work In con- gested areas and who with a represen- 1 tative of Jefferson county board of health, one from the health department | of the city, one from the board of rev. enue, shall constitute city and county health and sanitati ton association which shall undertake to see that our city and county are kept in sanitary condition 1 and that will pledge itself to work to | improve the health conditions of our county and of our state. Respectfully
 submitted,
 MRS. ELLA M GRAHAM, Chairman. MRS. LUCILLE L. OSTER. | MRS. LILLIAN M. JOHNSTON. 1 MRS. MAE K. HAMM MRS. NEIL R.NWALLACE.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE

Your committee, composed of women appointed to make a sanitary survey of the city of Birmingham, begs to submit the following report:
 'The committee wishes first to thank the Jefferson county board of health and the citizens sanitation committee for this opportunity of serving our community. We believe that you appreciate the fact that the keynote to woman's char acter is service; that a woman's life is spent in service, and it is only in serving others that she finds true happiness; we thank you for showing to the world that in crisis men turn to women and &C., knowledge that the community Is best served by asking the help and co-opera- ton of the women of that community. "It would have been impossible for us to do the immense amount of work neces- sary in this survey, if we had not met with an instant and hearty response from the women of the city. We are most grateful to those women who spent long and tedious hours canvassing the city 10
 do the work as outlined by this central committee.
 "We also want to thank those house. wives who could help in no other way, but whose sincere and cordial welcome to the inspectors made our work pleasant one and we can now count among our friends many a woman we never saw before the Inspection began, and will always remem-
 Der with a pleasant thrill the eager jn- terest displayed in the welfare of Bir- mingham by these women.
 we also want to thank the press for their unqualified cooperation.
 "Our main effort being educational, it will be far-reaching. The leaflets pre- | pared by the health department have beeen distributed. The blanks that were prepared by this committee have been e ha ad trith hn l department of the city
 | To give a brief resume of the com mittee's work, we will say that the city was divided into 30 districts for the purpose of inspection, using the boun- daries of the school districts. These

WOMEN REPORT ON HEALTH
 SURVEY OF BIRMINGHAM
Many Reforms Suggested Including Permanent Organization of Volunteer 1nspectors-Express Appreciation of Vel
 come by Housewives in Their Work of Inspection

The central women's committee appoint ed by the citizens sanitation committee to make a health survey of Birmingham district, submitted a final and full re- port of their findings, together with seven recommendations, to Dr. Scale Harris, chairman of the sanitation committed.
 Following the presentation of the re- port Dr. Harris paid a glowing tribute to the work done by these women, stat ing that it was an act of patriotism to their city and was as heroic an act as that of a soldier enlisting to fight for his country "The work was done thor oughly," said Dr. Harris, "and no one could have conducted anything on bet ter business principle or method than this central committee did this work. To say we have been benefited as city by your noble cooperation and the work of others in fighting these epidemics, is proven by the figure of last year and this year. In July of last year there were 52 cases of typhoid fever, and for August there were 121 cases, or an increase of about 200 per cent July of this. year there were Al cases reported, while the number for August only reached Sl There are no new cases being reported now, and August, September and October are the worst months for the epidemic.

THE ANSWER

Speaking of mosquitoes, do
you remember the old fashioned
boy who thought he was being
soaked when he put up $75 for
a safety? Not caring what he
did, he went out to Minnetonka
and back by leg power and
helped build up a great metro
po.itan center near the pump at
Minnetonka Mills. Today he
pays SIS for one tire and if he
had to pump it up, he would go
to the hospital.
There must be more money
in the country than there used
to be-and a deal more laziness.
How do you explain the paradox ?
The answer probably is that
money is not made by work, but
by sitting down and thinking it
out of the other fellows piles.
There's something of the faith
cure in the money business. The
Moore Brothers, the Morgans
and the RockefeLers never work
ed. They thought it out. There
is much in the power of thought,
as Doc said.-A. J. R. in Mime
apolis Journal.

NOTICE TO SCHOOL
OFFICERS
Clean Up School Buildings Now
Warns Hargadine

Now is the time for School
Boards to see that the school
buildings are put into safe con-
dition from fire for the coming
sessions.
During the summer vacation
period, many schools are closed
and not looked after again I'M
til just before the term begins
in the fall, says Robert w. Har-
gadine, State Fire Marshal.
Have an inspection made of
the Easements, closets, attics
and out-of-the-way corners in
each school building. See that
the chimneys are cleaned so as
to reduce the danger of fire
from SCOT, and above all; get rid
of all rubbish in and about the
school buildings before the chill
dren return.
In this manner many school
buildings will be made safe for
the children and instructors, and
incidentally will save the COM
munity possibly hundreds of
dollars.
Last year there were 20
school houses burned in Mime
sofa with an aggregate loss of
$183,528. Undoubtedly much of
this loss was due to neglect or
carelessness.

Mrs. Shelton came to Denver from

Of Mr.. Shelton as housemaid. He was
wealthy and she was poor. He heard
her singing about the house and real

He made her his wife, and sent her
abroad to have her voice trained. She

to rival Melba and other great sing

Add $2,77o,743.16.

western Newspaper Union News Services.
Denver.-Grant McFerson. state
bank commissioner, has issued a state
ment showing that the savings do
posits in the banks of Colorado In
creased by approximately 20 per cent
In the first six months of this year
by comparison with the first six
months of 1915. The statement issued
by Mr.. McFerson deals only with saw
ings accounts and does not call atten-
ton to enormous increase in CONNER
cia1 and time deposits in the same Pc
riod of time
Figures on March 4, May 1 and June
%. 1915. show deposits in the savings
banks of s52.012.257.61. The average
is s17,337419.20.
Figures for the same period this
year give total of SCI. .si2, ,9O5.92, or
an increase in the average of 1885,
Ss277.
These figures we're made by taking
the amounts on deposit in the savings
banks on the three report months and
making the average.
Appended to the statement showing
the big increase in the total average
deposits are figures showing the in
crease in individual banks.
To show that the increase embraces
all branches of the banking business
which conducts savings accounts the
state and savings banks show an in
crease of SSS0,797 for the six months
period over 1915. The private banks
show an increase of $3,634.sS. while
the trust companies have increased
their deposits s2.770. .743.16. or total
over all OF s3.655.17504.
The state bank commissioner says
in his report: owing to the fact that
the greater percentage OF savings is
reported from cities, Denver. Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and the larger out
side points, and this taken into con-
sideration with the showing of an In.
crease for the year of practically 20
per cent, the above tabulation for com
parison of the first six months of 1915
and of 1916 would indicate that the
large gain in deposits has been made
during the first six months of 1916
and verified by the following"
In the report the total deposits at
the end of 1915 is shown as s19,663,'
S17.2S, and the increase in six months
in excess of that using the present
totals. is s1,e95, 5,045.91, thus verifying
the average statement.
