you think you are smart in your ef-
forts to defy the city ordinance which
requires you to keep your premises

The Board of Health thinks there
is much of the former and none of
the latter in you. The purpose of the
law is to protect the citizens Of the
community against the possible raw
ages of disease or against an epidemic.

The germ may Turk in weeds, trash,
garbage, bad milk and many other

Take this final order from the Board

ige of filth from your premises, and
do 1t at once.
BY order of the Board of Health.

walton, it is said. of a member of the
"unconquered Clipper of Illinois" in
a game at Rockford. He was ma
chinist, and had hurt his palm, so
inserted a thin sheet of steel in a
fingerless glove with palm of double

base corner, although his team lost
by the score of 76 to 0.

reports having observed an electric
spark at the end Of a whip when it
gave out a particularly loud snap and
suggests that the snap was not made
by the lash at all, but that it was the
result of the instant conclusion of
the air, the electric spark being pro-

because of the absence of Capt. Chas.
