Members of the city commission
said today that at their regular meet
ing tonight. they would reject the ce-
ment paving that has been laid in the
alley between Fourth and Fifth

low there. water ices not drain Off

FOR LIGHTING FARMS
COUNTRY JEWELLERS NOM IN
JOY CITY CONVENIENCE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLIED.

Through a new invention, o be
ing demonstrated at the offices Of
the Electric Supply company. the
farm home aud premises may be
equipped with every convenience en-
ioyed by the city dweller. and at a
cost within the reach of practically
every farm M
The innovation is known as the
Delco-Light, and with ii the country
resident may not only brilliantly and
economically light his buildings and
premises. but provide heat for cook
ing, power for doing much Of the
home work, such as running a cream
separator. churn, sewing machine,
pumping water, and actually milking
his cows. The Delco-Light is a com
plete lighting and power plant. whose
energy may be made use of at an in
stant's notice, and which is so simple
that a small child can operate il per
fectly. The invention was developed
by the largest producers of lighting
systems in the world. and is already
giving highly satisfactory service on
thousands of farms in the middle
west.
Delco-Light is a compact unit, con
sisting of gasoline engine, directly
connected TO a generator, a switch
board and a specially made storage
battery, all on a single base. AS the
gasoline engine is air cooled, there
is no water 10 trouble with, and no
danger of delay through freezing. To
start the engine, il is not necessary
to crank, but merely to turn a switch.
There is a single place TO oil. When
batteries are stored with a sufficien,
amount of electricity. Delco-Light Is
stopped automatically There are no
intricate devices to get out of order
A simple mixing valve regulates the
supply of gasoline.
The makers guarantee that Delco-
Light is absolutely safe-there is
nothing that can explode. 1t "a be
operated at a cost of a few cents a
day. 1t is possible TO install as many
as sixty lights, but or the average
farm only a few lights are burned al
a single time.
An invitation to witness the opera
ton of the Delco-Light, in the offices
OF the Electric Supply company, Is
extended to the public generally.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash 1t
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in One or two teaspoonfuls

Summers Second Fire on Vacant
Lot Occurs Near Tenth and
Leighton Streets at
1880 Today.
STARTED BY CIGAR STUB
Fire on Franklin Street Some Time
Ago Was Started by Spontaneous
combustlon-Weed Fires
OFTEN Serious.

AT 1890 this afternoon the weeds
on lot at Tenth and Leighton
streets, took fire, and it was neces
sary to call the fire department to
extinguish the blaze. No damage was
done. The fire Is thought to have
been started when some smoker
threw a lighted cigar stub into the
weeds.
Such fires can be expected with
much frequency from now on, accord
Ing to the firemen, who Judge by the
experience of the PAST. In years
similar to this there are many cases
of fire in vacant lots, where the
growtf, of weeds has been burned by
the sun. SIC
weeks has stopped the growth OF
weeds, and the tops have begun to
dry and turn brown. When a match
is applied. the weeds burn like finder.
Many cases are on record OF bad
fires on vacant lots, where there was
no apparent cause for the burning of
the weeds, in years past.
On Franklin street, several weeks
ago, fire started in a vacant lot in
the same manner, and in this case it
is believed the cause was spon-
taneous combustion. A cigar stub
was found in the burned area this
afternoon, at a point from which it
would appear the blaze began, SO
that it is certain today's fire was due
to external causes. If the hot dry
weather continues, however, the fire
department expects many blazes In
dry weeds on vacant lots.
