The paper containing the grocery

same manner as the telephone PAD.
Bore hole opposite each material
listed.
OF course, it is necessary to have
some way Of keeping the matches
when they are not in use to indicate
some material desired. This Is done
by boring holes at the bottom of the
| list.
| The convenience of the grocery list
| is that 1t is to be hung in the kitchen
and when mother thinks OF something
she wishes>to order, she takes a peg
from the bottom OF the board and
places it in the hole opposite the ar
ticle desired. The pad can be con-
venIently taken to the telephone for
ordering, and when the groceries are
received, they can be easily checked,
after which the pegs are removed and
placed at the bottom Of the pad.

Why use ordinary cough remedies.
when Boschee's German Syrup has
been used so successfully for fifty-two
years in all parts of the United States

in the throat, especially lung troubles.
1t gives the patient a good night s

reason given for this condition of
affairs is that these women are re-
ceiving their monthly allowance from
their husbands and sons in the mill
tary service, and this makes them
think they do not have to work. It is
next to impossible to secure help in
homes there, and there is a strong
sentiment in favor of the application
of the work or fight law to this class
of labor. Conditions are just as bad
on the farms, and there is thegreat-
est difficulty in securing cooks in farm
kitchens.

Freddy and Benny were brothers,
Freddy being but two years older than
Benny, and their uncle presented them
each with rabbit, the rabbits being
exactly alike. One morning Freddy
went into the basement to feed the
rabbit, and found that one Of them
was dead, so he hurried upstairs to
his mother and said: "Oh, mamma.
Benny's rabbit Is dead"

Jamaica BayBoulevard
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

ALBANY, May 8. = Governor Whit
man to-day signed the Farremkopf bill,
which, it is declared, will bring Rock
away Point ten miles nearer to Man
haitian. 1t authorizes the New York
City Board of Estimate to lay out a
public boulevard across Jamaica Bay,
the plans to meet the approval of the
Secretary OF War. The bridges are to
be constructed by the Department of
Plants and Structures, and the cost
may be assessed in whole or in part
against the property benefited.
The Murphy bill, changing the boun-
daries of the municipal court districts
in Brooklyn, was also signed.
Another bill approved was that of
Senator Slater, creating a commission
of five members to administer state
reservation, comprising the Mohansic
Hospital and the Yorktown Boys
School sites as an agricultural colony
for not more than fifty boy delin-
quents. These sites last year were
abandoned as places on which to con-
struct the two proposed institutions
because they are on the New York City
watershed
The Governor also signed the Hewitt
bill, giving the Secretary of State the
power to say what automobile lights
conform with the anti-glare law, and
barring from the state highways, out
side of cities, motor trucks or trailers
with a total wei ght loaded of more
than twelve and half tons. 1t is
directed at trucks which have been
damaging the state roads, but does not
apply to military trucks.

responsibility for that situation put up
to his chief?" DR.. Copeland was asked.
"You will have to see Mr.. MacBride
about that" was the reply.
DR.. Copeland refused to name the
publications referred to as objection
able, but DR.. Bolduan said these were
articles bearing on the Staten Island
garbage situation, the use of alcohol
and the Gary school system. Health
Commissioner Emerson, who ordered
these, is now in the national service.
DR.. Bolduan would not discuss DR..
Copeland's statement or disclose at
this time the name of his new posi-
tion. 1t is understood it will involve
his leaving New York, and that the
salary is far in excess of the $4,000
year he has been receiving. He
has served in the department four
teen years, beginning as bacteriolo-
gist and in six years would have been

Celestial laundryman at 115 North

most recent proof of the perspicacity
of the writer.
Willie, being within the draft age
dutifully registered himself last year
with local board No. 1 in Paterson
Then he calmly ignored his question
naire and the other formalities, such as
presenting himself when ordered to do
so. In consequence he was set down
as delinquent.
Tuesday Daniel Sheehan, clerk of the
board, received telegram from San
Francisco which read: Release Willie

was signed McWilliams.
