COMPLETE QUEBEC BRIDGE
But $4,000, 900 Structure win Not BE
Opened Until Next Spring.

The clang OF steel on steel sud
denly stopped and "a man In ,overalls,
perched above the northwestern hy-
draulic jack on Quebec bridge threw
up one hand and yelled. There was
seconds silence, then two others
took up the cry.
Down. twenty feet or so below, on
tho cantilever arm, small group or
people was slow TO respond. They had
come thru half an hour of tense ex-
citement, the climax OF four days OF
IT, and seemed incapable OF believing
that the great moment, the culrlina-
tion Of ten years OF unccasing thot
and effort, was at hand.
Tnen somebody among them woke
from "a trance and cheered. and In
stantly the cheering spread Two
hoisting engines opened Meir whistles
with earsplitting blasts, and down on
the river two or three boats which
had been loafing about broke out jetf
of steam, which seconds afterward de-
veloped into bellows of conSratula-
ton.
Somewhere behind the shoulder OF
the cliff an unseen locomotive, rcaliz-
ing what had happened, broke into
shreks. The bells of Sillery and st
Domuald took up the story and passed
IL on to Quebec, which broke into
bunting and b-aying motors.

TIME TO GO SLOW.

We have been credibly indormeo
that there is defined sentiment
among the men Of affairs in this city
looking toward the adoption of IA city
manager scheme. In fact 1t is alleged
that the present city officials lean to-
ward favoring that plan. We have not
been informed. however, Just on what
grounds these men will recommend n
change In form of municipal manage
ment. When We hear their arguments
we will be in a position to say what
opinion we have on the subject. Up TO
the present time we had been led to
believe, in view OF the trials given this
plan by number of cities that there
was little or no advantage in its work
ings over other methods. III the peo-
pie of Tulsa vote TO experiment with
the idea. The World will bc the last TO
oppose the popular VIII; but at present
writing we are disposed TO oppose the
idea both because we think IL i'm
practical and because IT is getting far
ther away from representative forms
of government. We believe in going
slow when it comes to swapping the
evils We have for those we know not
OF.
But the lRboring people have not
hesitated to express themselves al
ready An impromptu canvass of votes
seems to Indicate that organized labor
at least, viii vote against the expert
ment to u man. We may be mis-
taken, but If those in authority IL
labor circles can be believed. such i.
the case. The whole matter Sits dowI
to one proposition. whether the form
be aldermanic, commission or man
ager--is that the body of the electo'
rate should take more vital inter
est i'm the selection of the right kint
of men to govern them. A city hal
filled with able, honest, conscientioui
men viii give good results no matter
i what designation we give them, ant
the opposite is likewise true. In fact
"a dishonest manager could do NOR,
! harm in less time than an aggregation
of "Bathhouse Johns" If the resul
is evil, we have only intensified, in
stead Of minimizing il, with the sol
exception that city manager nigh
perhaps be fired easier than an elect
i've officer. Let US so slow about thi
thing.

YOUR HEALTH

Since we are at war, let uS have the

perience. 1t would seem to be late
date to point out the almost self-evi-

the national efficiency by just so
much, whether it be among soldiers
or noncOmbatants, but the general
public does not give enough attention
to this aspect of wars demands, the

the individual had the duty of taking

health, 1t is now.
One Of the first elements Of the
health of nation at war--or at peace.
for that matter-is It's food 1t cannot
be healthy and strong without good
food, and plenty of It, Therefore ag-
riculture and gardening must be intel
ligently and intensively stimulated,
so that larger crops shall be brought
forth.
The housewives task will be to
economic the food supply and cook 1t
with skill, so as to make her meals
tasty and digestible.
The streams from which our domes-
tic water supply comes should be care
fully guarded against pollution, so
that communities shall not run the
risk Of being infected with some
deadly disease.
Vaccination against typhoid is
valuable step in preparedness under
conditions sas they are at present.
The time has come to consider these
matters in spirit Of patriotism. 1t
is the duty of->every citizen to attain
physical fitness, and of the people as a
whole, to take measures for the in
