WARSAW, ILL.,, June 11.-As was eX-
pected, the crowd Saturday night last,
broke all records, the added attraction
being the dedication Of the community
service flag presented by the ladies Of
the national council of defense, and
the address of Hon. Truman Plantz.
who is ever ready to speak word
for any good cause. He was in fine
form that night, and was listened to
with market attention and frequently
applauded; an inteesting item of his
address was the reading of the history
of old glory. The band concert was
given on the portable band stand on
Main street between Fourth and Fifth
streets, the best place for it on Main
street, and the service flag was hung
suspended from a rope running from
the top Of the Brinkman and Eymann
building on the north side of the street
to the top Of building opposite.
There are eighty blue stars on the
flag representing the soldiers and
sailors enlisted and selected from
Warsaw city and township, and one
red star for Miss Tessie Lewis, WHO
is a Red Cross nurse. The flag is of
bunting and is seven feet. wide by
eleven feet long. Company G, reserve
militia was present, and added mill
tary decoration to the program.
After the dedication, a number Of
cakes made by the ladies of the local
chapter of the Red Cross were brought
to the band stand and sold at auction,
by Thos. Neves, auctioneer the pro-
ceeds to go toward fund to purchase
a second sewing machine for the chap
ter; the cakes brought $1.75, S225 and
$2.75 and others brought good prices,

Car III SECTIONS.


1.-THE railroads over here are inter
esting. Most of the cars are made up
Of six to eight sections. Each section
is entirely separated from the others
by wall extending clear across the
car. Two doors, one on each side,
open directly to the outside Each
section accommodates six to eight
people. After the train starts one can
not get out of the section They have
first, second and third class sections.
The main difference is the depth Of
upholstery on the seats. On some of
the very best through trains they
have cars with narrow corridors along
one side connecting all the sections.
All the cars are very much lighte-
than ours and the engines are smaller
but nevertheless, they haul as many
people on one train as the American
trains. This is probably due to the
wonderful roadbed. The trasls make
pretty good speed and there is little
noise and no humping.

Country is Beautiful.

England is a very beautiful coun-
try, probably the most beautiful in
the world. Due to the large amount of
moisture in the air, due to the near
ness of the sea. everything is always
very green and fresh. One sees no
bare and vacant spots and no weeds.
Even along the railroads one sees
gardens, fields, etc, up to within a
few feet of the rails.

HEALTH SITUATION
IN CITY Is GOOD
Monthly Report Of Board Of
Health Is Issued

The monthly report of the board of
health has just been issued. The re-
port Is interesting and shows the
large amount Of health work which is
being done in this city The depart
ment is we'll organized and the city
has never had better general health
conditions than it enjoys at the pres
ent time. Following is the report:
six thousand and seventy-siX cases
of Influenza were reported to the
board of health during the epidemic.
The number of deaths from influenza
and it's complications were about 400
Three doctors, in the public health
service of the federal government,
were sent to help through the state
department of health. These doctors
made 1,29S calls. The office of the
board of health was open day and
night and the employees gave unspar-
ingly of their time and energy.
"a district nursing system was or
ganized. Mrs. A. J. Sloper took
charge of it. Ten trained nurses and
81 unframed or partly trained helpers
were employed. Seven hundred fam
lilies and 1900 patients were visited;
$500 visits were made.
"a canteen supplied food to those
in need of it, w w. Leland, chairman
of the committee in charge, reports
Two thousand six hundred meals were
sent out at a cost of $225. The can
teen was open for 4 days.
Mrs. A. G. I<imball took charge
of the transportation and many citt~
zens loaned their cars for the emer-
gency.
The department has issued 1873
permits for persons to keep pigs dur
ing the past year. This action has
been taken because of the food situa-
ton which has demanded that every
possible effort be made to increase
the supply of meat The departm
has issued many permits which it
would not under ordinary conditions.
At this time of the year many own
ers have killed their pigs and in some
cases without a permit. All animals
must be inspected and permit given
by Deputy Meat Inspector DR.. G. r,
Witte.
THE department upon learning
that pigs had been killed without a
permit at once investigated these
cases and found in each instance that
the owner was ignorant of the ordi-
nance. The department has, there
fore, notified all persons keeping pigs
of this requirement and anyone vio-
lating the ordinance in the future will
be prosecuted.
The milk inspectors report shows
that there were 40 samples collected.
The slaughter house report shows Is
cattle inspected and 112 hos in
spected. Cash received at tie house
| amounted to $144.25.
The communicable diseases report
ed were: Lobar pneumonia 4, tuber-
culosis IS, diphtheria II, scarlet re-
YER 6, influenza So. There were -
houses guaranteed and 33 quaran-
tine visits were made. The labora-
tory report shows a total of 139 ex-
aminations. The tuberculosis report
shows 222 cases from last month and
IA new cases were reported. There
were four deaths and four recoveries
New Britain herald., 1918-12-19

tically every instance the origin Of the
cooperative stores did not come from
the executives in the factories, that in
most cases such a move WAS froWned
upon by the manufacturers, but that
it was q movement started wholly
within the ranks of the employees. The
committee appointed will make an
investigation at once and attempt to
put the matter fairly and squarely to
the grocers' committee as they find 1t,
The chamber realizes the fact that
the interest of the merchants is its
interest and. will do everything pos
sIble to protect these interests. No
information regarding the fact that
the chamber considered this a matter
over which 1t had no control was
given either by President e. W. Pelton
or Secretary L. A Sprague. A COM
mittee has been appointed and will
make a thorough investigation and
will report to the directors and to a
committee of the grocers within a few
days. The grocers represented by Mr..
Cowlishaw are very willing to wait for
the report of this committee in order
that the true facts regarding the CO.
operative store movement can be de-
termined.
Housing Question Taken Up.
The question of proper housing for
people in certain sections of the city
was discussed at length and the direc-
tors felt that this matter might we'll
be given more study before anything
definite should be attempted. Several
problems entered into this question
which must be taken separately The
first, which seemed most important
was the matter of collecting rubbish,
ashes and garbage in order that prop
err sanitary conditions might be pro-
vided. The directors felt that a move
could be made in the collection of
ashes and garbage throughout the city.
New Britain is one of the few cities
in the state in which ashes are not
collected regularly throughout the
year. The insanitary conditions are
due in part to the accumulation OF
filth and rubbish during the winter
months and any result that would
clear this away regularly would tend
to improve conditions generally.
A committee was appointed by Pres
ident Pelton to secure reports of
neighboring cities and to make an in
vestigation as to cost to the city. A
vote was passed that the directors
recomm end to the board of health
that proper steps be taken to see what
can be done in the way Of the city
collecting ashes, and that a sum suf-
ficient to take care of this matter be
put into tho city yearly budget, The
question will be reported upon at the
January meeting of the chamber.
Myron H. West, of the American
Park Builders company of Chicago,
was present and gave q brief outline
Of the advantages to New Britain if
general city plan and survey were
made. The fact was brought out that
New Britain is a growing, progressive
city, and a plan, made now, antici-
pating steady growth and correcting
any unforeseen mistakes would ensure
q city that every citizen would be
proud Of. Many Western cities have
followed such q, plan and several New

action with the 104th Regiment and

SHOP EARLY, URGES
COMMERCE CHAMBER
Stores Will Be Open Every
Evening Until Christmas

All downtown merchants will open
their stores beginning tonight and
continue through Tuesday evening,
December "a. The Chamber of Com
merce, realizing that the Christmas
trade this year would be heavier than
last and that the government restric-
tons were removed on holiday shop
ping, imm ediately took steps to have
the stores uniformly open for every
trade. Practically every merchant
will have his force of clerks ready and
the public is urged to make use OF
these earlier nights in order to pre-
vent the rush Monday and Tuesday of
next week. Purchasers can do much
to relieve the burdens Of clerks and
proprietors if they will realize that it
is necessary to make their purchases
early.
Directors Hold Meeting.
The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce met Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock for their regular monthly
meeting. George Kimball, of the
American Hardware corporation,
made q full report as representative
of the New Britain Chamber Of Com
merce at the manufacturers confer
ence recently held at Atlantic City.
The resolutions passed there were of
particular interest to the directors be-
cause of their probable effect upon
future business conditions throughout
the country. Mr.. kimbalI, as chair
man of the committee appointed by
President Pelton on the employment
Of returning soldiers and sailors, re-
ported that after canvass by that
committee it was the universal de-
cision Of all manufacturers in New
Britain that they should provide posi-
ttons for all of New Britain's enlisted
men. Ready positions will be open
just as fast as they return home again.
1t was suggested by the directors that
the chamber see that the mercantile
directors decide to canvass the mer-
chants and see if the whoIe-hearted
cooperation could be secured in this
matter and that every returning SOL
der might be sure of his old position,
Objects to Factory Stores.
A communication addressed to the
directors signed by William Cowli-
shaw, president of the Retail Grocers'
association, has been received by the
secretary. This letter outlined the po-
sition the grocers of the city found
themselves in regarding the establish
ment Of the factory stores A good
deal of serious consideration was given
this letter by the directors. They
recognized many facts as being true
and that the grocers were placed in
position to feel this movement
keenly. Just whether the chamber as
a whole could do anything at this
time to prevent or postpone the es-
adjustment of such stores was a mat
ter which could not be decided at the
meeting. A committee of three was
appointed to take immediate steps to
investigate both sides of the question
and to have power to meet with a
committee of the grocers at a later
date. It was made clear that in prac-
