HEALTH ORDINANCE
CAUSE OF DISCUSSION
Measure Would Pay Health Officer
$500 Per Year and Provide for
Assistant

Considerable discussion attended
the first reading Tuesday evening of
the proposed health ordinance, which
relates to public health, defines the
duties and powers of the city health
officer of Pullman, provides for the
appointment of an assistant health
officer, and fixes the compensation
OF the health officer and his assist
ant. Several councilmen voiced their
opposition to the naming of an as
sistant health officer at stipulated
salary, claiming that the office
might be abused. Under the terms
of the proposed ordinance the health
officer will be paid $500 per year, in
monthly payments of $25 each,
while the assistant will be paid soc
per hour for time actually employed.
1t is specified that the duties of the
assistant health officer shall include
fumigating and assisting in inspec-
ton, but it is provided that he shall
not devote more than one day per
week to inspection.
The ordinance will be given it's
second reading at the next meeting
of the council, when changes in it's
context may be made.

BIRTH OF A NATION, THE "BIG
MOVIE" TO RETURN-POP.
ULAR PRICES PREVAIL

Slavery in half the states of the
union! Abraham Lincoln, the man
risen from the people to deliver
them! The moral and political sep.
aration of one-half the soyerign
states from the remainder of the
union! The tremendous and never
American Civil war,
with all its horrors! Then the Car.
petbag rule; devastation of the con-
quered South; the free and ignorant
slaves creating a reign of terror
among the whites-the organization
and the enforcement of the Ku Klux
Khan upon the blacks-all entwined
with love of Northerner for South
erner, and visa versa-of suffering,
death, despair and heart ache
these are the principal features Of
D. w. Griffith's indescribable pro-
duction, The Birth of a Nation,
realization so swift, so mighty, 50
absorbing that it makes three hours
whirl by like a few moments-and
sends the bewildered spectators
stumbling out of the theatre, strug.
Cling for their bearings and gasping
for very breath.
The Birth of Nation will never
see a rival, for it has covered all the
drama of the nation-and covered it
too wildly for others to even ap-
proach it. Every time it unfolds up
on screen, that time the life-dram
of America is re-enacted.
The Birth of a Nation will return
to the Grand on April 1 2 and 10 with
a special popular priced matinee on
Friday at p. IN. For prices noIe

FREE SILK PETT|COATS
STILL EAGERLY SOUGHT
RuncO Scheme Causes Post Office
Officials Much Worry--Post-
master Reed Issues Warn
ing to Patrons

Letters addressed to the National
Mail Order Brokerage Exchange at
Minneapolis, Mimi, are still causing
the local post office force a lot of
worry, despite the fact that the COM

clared fraudulent concern and
warnings have been issued against
paying attention to the sensational
offer. Postmaster G. W. Reed states
that letters addressed to the COM
pany are still being received at the
local post office, but that they are
never forwarded to the address
given, being sent either to the dead
letter office or returned to the
sender in case the return address is
given in the corner of the envelope.
The fraudulent scheme was dis
covered several months ago, when
the Minneapolis post office was
clOgged with letters to the companv
containing a dime and demanding a
silk petticoat in return The scheme
was augmented by a chain letter sys-
TEN in which each lady receiving
such letter was to send 10 cents
and write five letters to friends.
Many people, it appears are not
aware of the non-eXistence of the
company and the chain is still being
heightened with thousands of letters
every day, and the post office depart
ment is eXerting every effort to stop
the practice.
The following notice was issued to
all postmasters by the department:
1t having been made to appear by
satisfactory evidence that the Ma

obtaining money through the mails
