ABATEMENT BILL
STILL remains
in Committee
Measure to Check Vice May Be
Reported Out Without
Recommendation

Up to press time this afternoon the
senate abatement bill was still hang
ing fire in the judiciary committee OF
the house, with little likelihood Of the
members reaching an agreement
either fer or against the measure.
1t is now reported that the members
OF the committee stand four to one in
favor of recommending that the abate-
ment bill be indefinitely postponed.
Chairman Andrews, however, has sug-
gested that the bill be reported out
without recommendation and that the
house take action on the measure in
committee OF the whole.

in the employe who happens to, be a

gotten that he ever had the disease,
yet the germs of it still linger with
him, and In milking the cows, or in
washing the cans, or performing some
other duty about the milk he manages
to transmit to it the deadly germ.
Then, too, we know that working
man, with living to earn, does not
feel disposed to quit his work every
time he feels indisposed. So it not

of milk and ice-cream, SO will give
You a few comparisons as follows:

collect the same amount each month for
period Of six months.
1t was also announced today that q local
barracks of the Salvation Army had pledged
itself to care for twenty children for a
month with the intention of increasing the
number and joining in the campaign The

suits while the formation of ration clubs in
banks. offices, mills, homes and Industrial
