There remain, along the south line
Of Eighteenth avenue. few property
owners who have been classed IS
.slackers" by the commission. for their
refusal to consider annexing to the
city. A number Of these property own
ers are now enjoying the benefits and
conveniences of city water and sewer.
1t is the threat of the commission to
cut of the sewer and water privileges
from these consumers. unless they
show a proper spirit with regard to
public improvements. These privileges
were given to some of these property
owners years ago, with the under
standing that some day their property
would become part of the city.
Property owners on Twentieth ave-
nue. from Sixteenth to Seventeenth
streets. presented petition asking
that this avenue be widened to the
width OF 40 feet for the entire block.
At present it is little wider than an
alley, 20 feet The petition was con-
sidered The, board OF local improve
ments will also consider. in the very
near future, the paving Of Twenty
ninth and-a-half street from Seven
teenth to Eighteenth avenues. The ma
jority OF the property owners have
filed a petition demanding this I'm
prOvement.
The license to sell wholesale liquor
held by Richard Klindt, 2135 Third

Ninth street east to Twenty-seventh
street. This was as far as the city
could 60 with the improvement, as
there Is q strip Of land on the south
side OF the street, from Twenty
seventh to Twenty-ninth-and- half
street, which is not a part of the city.
Altogether there are about ten
blocks on the south side of Eighteenth
avenue at various points from Twenty
seventh to Forty-sixth streets, which
must be taken into the city before this
big paving project can be carried
through. These plats, still in South
Rock Island township, are as follows:
Twenty-seventh to Twenty ninth and
a-half streets, Thirtieth to Thirty-first
streets, Thirty-fourth to Fortfeth
streets and a half block on the border
at Forty-sixth street.
The commission today considered
and adopted q resolution to annex to
the city q plat 30S by 127 feet. This
plat runs from Thirty to Thirty
second street on the south side of
Eighteenth avenue and is a half block
deep It is owned by ]. G. Geisler.
Last week similar plat was annexed
just south of Thirtieth street. In this
manner the land south Of Eighteenth
avenue is being taken in piece by
piece. Where all the property owners
in a certain plat are in favor of annex
ing to the city and where the plat in
question abuts city property, it can be
annexed without an election.

you take deep breath, remove the
mouthpiece and talk as long as your

gas. So there's still hopes for the
woman's battalion of death.

underneath can be removed, too. by
blowing into the mask and then re-
moving the air by pressing on the
mask. That process clouds the eye
glasses, but these can be cleaned by
rubbing them with the cloth into
which they are set.
Everything at that gas house is done
scientifically. The poison is intro
duced through small opening in the
wall communicating with a tank of
chlorine kept in an adjoining room
The tank which supplies the gas is
similar to those used on the European
t. battlefields for the dissemination OF
poison clouds. A special measurement
scale tells exactly how much gas Is
being distributed to the cubic foot.
And the men are becoming familiar
with this poison. They can adjust
their masks quickly, too, and are
learning that they need have no fear
as long as they've one of these efficient
masks handy. They're being taught
to clear the trenches and dugouts Of
gas. too, by building fires in them to
create q draft and then scooping out
the poison with great cloth fans.
Captain H. A. Brightman, = member
of the British military mission, who
is at Camp Dodge, has a good plan
He suggests that over the entrance to
the dugout they put a sign reading
"If you have tears, prepare to shed
them now" and over the door Of the
gas house another, saying Abandon

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads. In most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
