WOULD PROHIBIT
CUTTING PAVEMENT
Ordinance Will Be introduced
at Meeting Of Council
Monday Night

An ordinance to prohibit the cutting
of pavement laid upon any street or
alley of the city of Salem, for the
purpose of laying gas or water mains,
or any class of under ground eonduits,
will be introduced at the next meeting
of the city council, Monday, February
7th.
The ordinance to be introduced also
provides that hereafter all pipes or
conduits or extensions shall be laid
only in the parking lines of any paved
street.
The ordinance reads that it shall be
unlawful, "tO in any manner cut,
break up, deface or molest any pave
ment which may have been heretofore,
or may hereafter be laid in the city
of Salem, for the purpose of laying
new mains or extensions of the sys-
tens now installed" "
Provision is also made in the ordi-
nance to be introduced that the City
Recorder be instructed to notify the
Salem Water, Light & Power Com
pany and the Portland Railway, Light
Power Company and any and all
other persons, firms or corporations
owning franchises for the laying of
mains, the intention of the council to
pass and adopt the ordinance at the
meeting to be hell February 81.
In discussing the proposed ordinance
with the ordinance committee, W. NJ
Hamilton, division manager, notes the
fact that gas mains have been in
stalled on nearly all the paved streets
of the city, but in many instances,
service pipes have not been run from
the mains to the houses. All service
companies are required to supply serv-
ice to persons desiring the same, who
are willing to pay the established
rates.
In many parts of the city, due to
the unexpected increase in the amount
of gas required, it is necessary to re-
place gas mains and service pipes,
and the ordinance if passed, would
prevent the company from making
these necessary improvements.
Referring to the amount of money
now being spent in the city in i'm
provements, Mr.. Hamilton notes the
fact that during the past year, his
company has installed 26,43S feet, or
practically five miles of gas mains
and service, at cost of $9,751.
In addition to spending $9,75l for
new mains and extensions, the COM
pany spent $2S,9l9 in the city for
operating eXpences, making a total OF
$3S,67O paid out in Salem in 1915.
The gross receipts from gas customers
were $33,22S, or $5,442 less than the
amount paid out.
While Mr.. Hamilton feels that un,
necessary cutting of pavements should
be eliminated, he notes that 1t is neces-
sary in order to make Improvements

sary at times to repair plpes on ac-

Small boys all know that tanning
Makes persons quite some smart;
And that 8 a fact that summer girls
Will have to take to heart,
Because all dyes grow scareer
Since first the war began.

There's nothing left but tan.

is to turn green with envy, have yel.

They do say that all is fair in love and

some of US to be fair with the recent
embargo on peroxide. Fortunately that

heads are once more light.
The outlook for other dyestuffs is
very dark. The weather man has often
predicted a white winter for us but
now the Fashion man promises us a
white summer-white with a large
dash of tan by way of variety.
By way of getting the greatest
amount of variety out of tan you can
call it biege, ecru, string biscuit, sand
and putty as it's intensity of tanness

Fortunately we already have such

One Of the last leap year dances OF
the season, probably the last in this
city, will be a charity ball held on
Wednesday evening, December 27, at
the Turner Opera house. 1t is almost
the last chance of the kind for four
long years, and the girls intend to
make a pronounced success of the
affair, il only TO set good example
to the young men of Watertown.
There will be practically no ex-

out charge. The entire proceeds Of
one dollar for each ticket will go to
the beneficiary, the new hospital fund.

would be a &C. way to raise money
for the new lospital The project
proved popula- md in a short time

AIS Lives Saved i'm 1915 in Wisconsin
by Reduction of the Death Rate
From tuberculosis.
CONTINUED NEED FOR SEAL SALE

Last year in Wisconsin at least one
life was saved every twenty-one hours
by the organized educational fight
against tuberculosis which has result
ed in the cutting down of the death
rate from this disease from 110.3 per
100000 in 1909, the first year of the
Wisconsin Anti ntE-Tuberculosis associ-
atoms activity, to 93.4 in 1915
Had the 1909 death rate prevailed in
1915, there would have been 2,728
deaths from tuberculosis in the year

The need for this support and for
continued effort along the lines which
has resulted SO definitely in the saw
ing of human life is emphasized by the
following facts
Even with the reduced death rate
Six persons die of tuberculosis In
Wisconsin every day in the year, one
death every four hours.
In 1915 there were 1872 deaths each
month, Al deaths each week.
In 1909 the death rate from tuber-
culOsis was marching steadily up
ward. Since 1909 it has been going
steadily downward, in spite of the fact
that there is annually a more com
plete and accurate registration OF
deaths from tuberculosis and that
many deaths are now recorded which
few years ago would have been dis
guided under another diagnosis.
Other facts and figures of interest are
given in the folder which will be sent

PRINTED LETTERHEADS.
An Essential To Farmers As Well As
To Business Men.

For me the use of a printed letter
head has proved to be one of my best
paying investments If neatly done
it is like a clean, well-kept, neat
pressed business suit which covers
not only the body but the individual
branches of the farm proper, and
lends an air of prosperity not other
wise to be obtained.
If man takes great pride in his
barge herd of fat cattle, dairy cows,
big mares, thrifty, well fed porkers,
sheep, poultry, or beautiful, well-kept
home, he should have good photog-
rapher who understands taking out
door pictures take a good picture and
then have a cut made After these
things are done the expense is nom
inal.
If [ were going to address the pub
lie | would not dress up in a suit o.
overalls; | would go to a little more
expense and trouble to make a better
appearance, and my remarks would
have more weight. Then why address
the same public on a piece of torn
wrapping paper, or use pad so cheap
that is requires a lead pencil? The
scene on the back of the envelope thai
[ use is being used by the state in its
booklet advertising the states posi-
bilities. Only recently | shipped a
boar. 1 pasted this scene on the crate
Two days later a farmer drove over to
my farm and bought boar He said
that he saw the picture on the empty
crate at the depot, and thought from
the attractiveness of the picture that
| must have good hogs. So 1 say, do
not use cheap, plain Ietterheads any
more than one would buy cheap, medi-
ocre pure-bred stock Better put
more money into the initial invest
ment. Anything worth doing is worth
doing right-D. E McMoines, Beadle,

INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN
WILL CLOSE DEC. IS
CONTRIBUTIONS TO HOSPITAL
CAMPAIGN FUND ARE ARRIV-
ING AT HEADQUARTERS.
Rural As Well As City Residents Are
Urged To Send In Contributions.
Only A Few Days Left.

Habit keeps us blind as a bat: We
go over certain path every day but
do not see the many opportunities for
pleasure comfort, or even money
making, and when these are pointed
out to the plodding man he is aston
ished at the many things he has miss
ed in his daily life.
For some weeks we have been try
ing TO tell you where there is a
source of pleasure you have probably
never thought before: 1t is the happi-
ness of GIVING and that to a most
worthy object, the New ST. Mary's
Hospital at Watertown.
In all probability almost every
grown person will at some time in the
future need the services of a hospital !;
particularly those who are growing
old, and like in Life Insurance it is
well to make provision for an emer-
gency before it rises. When the time
quickly and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
sickness do not give warning that you
may make preparations at the last
minute.
For this reason bury all objections
of every sort and kind, and only con-
slider the service hospital will render
you when it is required.
This is 70 theory, this is a FACT,
which everybody will do we'll to rec
ognize The necessity will arise sud-
denly, and those who live out of the
city will need the services of a hos
pital more, or equally, with those who
live in the city-because in the coun-
try the houses are far removed from
doctor, a drug store, or even a gro
Gerry store where the little necessities
can be quickly had.
Another feature, the home offers
meager facilities for taking care OF
the patient, but when he is in the hos
pital, he will have everything he ought
to have, including the luxuries.
The mails have carried large num-
Der of invitations to many persons to
contribute to this fund, some of which
have been answered
II you live in the city-do not wait
for the solicitor to call OH you. If
you live in the country send your DON
alton by mail, or call in person at the
Headquarters, IL Main street, Water
town, Wisconsin, where it will at once
be announced to all the workers; thus
stimulating them to renewed efforts.
The Intensive Campaign is open,
and will close December the 10Th We
bespeak kindly reception for this
movement and liberal donation be-
cause, when you help st. Mary's hos
pital you are helping yourself"
