The city council gave first reading Wednes
day to garbage ordinance that, if passed. will be
about useful as automobile without an ell
CINE or pie without any filler.
The measure provides system for turning a
monopoly of the refuse business over to one firm
that will handle the work at the best price to the
householders.
But it doesn't provide that there shall be any
refuse for this to collect 1t leaves the first
step in disposing Of the community's waste to blind
chance, just it always has been in Tacoma.
That, for city growing as this is now, is
intolerable. In Tacoma at present only 1000 homes
out of nearly 10000 are using the private garbage
disposal services. In great sections of town, well
settled sections, too the companies wagons never
call.
The result is bound to be an nsantary condition
In many spots.
What is necessary for Tacoma to do is what most
progressive cities have done-make it compulsory
that garbage be frequently gathered from every
home
A provision to that effect should be written into
the ordinance now before the council. A mayor just
elected on platform whose main plank was i'm
proved health precautions cannot sdestep this duty
and retain the confidence of the voters.

YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug
store man, Give me a quarter
of an ounce of freezone." This
will cost very little but is suffi.
cient to remove every hard or
soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether
compound applied directly upon q
tender. aching corn should re-
lieve the soreness instantly, and
soon the entire corn, root and all,
dries UP and can be lifted out
with the fingers. =
This new way to rid ones feet
of corns was introduced by a Gin
cinnati man, who says that, while
freezone is sticky, 1t dries in q
moment, and simply shrivels up
the corn without inflaming or
even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infec-
tion or locktaw from whiting at
his corns, but clip this out and
make him try 1t.

K. OF P. IS
ELECTING
OFFICERS

The Thursday morning session
of the Knights and Pythian Sis
ters' convention was occupied
chiefly with the reading OF re-
ports and the discussion of plans
for future enlargement of the
order.
The committees report on
erecting q building at Camp
Lewis, to cost about SIS, 900, in
Guiding Equipment, was under
discussion the greater part OF the
morning.
Thursday afternoon election of
officers was to take place, and
grand ball at the Elks' temple
in the evening was to wind up
one of the most successful con-
yentions the X. of P.'s have ever
held.
Erection of a home for indi-
gent members of both the knights
land Sisters also was considered.
| Mrs. Bowes told members that
levery Sister in the state would put
aside 10 cents a week for such
home if the X. of P.'s each would
donate 25c a week.
The Pythian Sisters received a
greetings committee of the
Knights Thursday morning, COM
posed of Past Grand Chaneellors
Savage, Dye and Elwell, who, aft
er making short addresses, pre-
sented a bouquet to the grand
chief, Mrs. Minnie Schott.
The Sisters in session paid q
high tribute to the mothers hav-
ing sons, husbands and nephews
in the service, and later gave
silver drill which netted $13 for
the Pythian Home fund.
Election of officers was slated
for the afternoon.
See Flag Ceremony.
Both Sisters and Knights met
at the X. of p. temple Wednesday
night to witness the new flag
ceremony. Past Master Davies of
Spokane conducted the ritual in
honor of his son, who is now in
service. Following the flag GER
emory, the names of SIS men,
bers from Washington lodges now
in the service were read.
| Thursday reports from all COM
mittees were given. Nomination
and election of officers Thursday
afternoon will mark the closing
of the convention.

What to SALVAGE

Many questions asked aboht the exact classes
of materials that are wanted for the salvage de-
partment of the Red Cross.
In general, almost anything of value can be used.
But more particularly here is what the workers in
charge of that fine service are calling for
Tin lead foil flat roll bals collapsble paste
and paint tubes; dental filings lead aluminium
wase old gold and silver and broken bits of ewery typewriter
ribbon ol; carbon rubber
old automobile
and
with burlap sacks old kid gloves,
clean white glass fruit jars cold jars bottles of all
kndsrinsed clocks oil
and cardboard packages leather electric
bulbs.
If you have any such materials that you can
spare, take them to the Salvage building 10Th and
A streets. If you are unable to arrange the trans
portation yourself, telephone Main 1917, and
collection wagon will call.
