Charges Against
Brown Unframed
After Two Weeks
Corporation Counsel Elk.
poets Several Days to
Elapse Before Papers
Are Ready

The charges on which Dr.. Lucius
Polk Brown, of the Bureau of Food and
Drugs of the Board of Health. is to be
tried have not yet been framed, though
he was suspended swo weeks ago. At
the office of the Corporation Counsel,
which has in hand the matter of pre-
pairing the charges, it was said yester-
day that some days may elapse before
the papers arc ready for service.
Neither has Health Commissioner
Royal S. Copeland been advised as to
the form of hearing to which DR..
Brown is entitled under the civil SER
vice law. Until he receives the opinion
of the Corporation Counsel in the mat
ter DR.. Copeland will be unable to say
what course will be followed.
Dr.. Copeland announced that the
Health Department would SHORTLY be-
gin a campaign against quack doctors
and others who specialize in the So
called social diseases. In this work
the entire city will be districted much
as it now is for the ambulance service,
and only clinics run by reputable ply
sicians on ethical lines and under the
direction of a reputable organization
or board allowed to remain in busl-
ness. These will be inspected at regu-
lar intervals.
A feature Of the campaign will be the
destruction /of advertising by the
quacks and cleaning up of the swim
ming pools Of the city, which, in many
cases, are described as disease-breed-
ing centres.
This work is being done in coopere-
tion with the sanitary service OF the
army and navy in an effort to protect
the military forces of the country.
The Republican and Socialist mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen con
tinued their efforts to find out what
the Commissioner Of Accounts and the
Municipal Civil Service Commission
have accomplished in their investiga-
ton Of the Health Department. Alder
men Arnon L. Squiers and Bruce M.
Falconer offered a resolution calling
upon the two heads of departments to
report the results of their investiga-
tons to date.
Alderman Squiers declared it was
time the legislative body of the city
knew what had been accomplished.
Borough Presidtnt Bowling of Man
haitian said that the resolution was
only introduced to ridicule the adj
ntinistration of Mayor Hylan and the
investigation he had ordered. The
resolution was referred to the Commit
tee on Rules, where it probably will be
buried

Great Work for Rotary
Adopted

The club unanimously approved of
the plans suggested by Arthur Wood
ward, better known as A. W., to start
a gigantic movement in which Rotary
will act as a coordinating influence be-
tween organizations in the city and
urge them to get behind war move
,nents and carry them through collect
lively instead of independently: a
Rotary committee consisting Of inn
portant business men in and out of
Rotary will be formed to direct the
work. 1t is planned to invite all or
CARNATIONS from small Sunday
School to Chamber of Commerce to
become active in the work.
Rotary represents no one interest or
class of business. On account of its
diversified membership, it cannot be
dominated in any one direction. There
fore it is in a position to guarantee the
integrity of the movement, to all peo-
pie of the city.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-15

Harry Lauder, whose sincerity in
war work cannot be questioned, said
recently: Let us cut all things
German from our lives! Five
hundred years from now the
mothers of Belgium and northern
France will whisper to their chill
dren: Hush. Run off to bed-the
Germans are coming
Let us who are the allies Of these
people cut EVERYTHING German
from oar lives before it is too late.
There is no excuse for the toleration Of
German newspapers and magazines.
German theatres, German singing
societies, German instruction in our
schools. 1t must all go. 1t is the
germ-bed of propaganda. 1t is the
affected tissue of the German sarcoma,
which i it is allowed to spread will re-
suit in the death of the United States.
Each of us who is worthy to bear the
name "American' must become Il wise
surgeon. Use the scalpel with a steady,
bold hand. Cut away even more than
seems necessary at the moment. Then,
in the years to come we may boast: 1--WE
operated in time. We saved the life pf

Most glaring Of these measures. tho

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop In France was
less than half normal, using the crop
OF 1913 as n basis of comparison.
There was a shortage Of 100000
bushels, or o3.3 per cent The potato
crop was only within one-third Of nor
NAL The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit OF go per cent Her laeat
herds In the early fall showed a short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are few of the reasons
America must feed her associates In
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
tn the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat In tho war.

WHITE SALMON
(From the Enterprise)

f. T. Hinshaw. of this city, who has
been deputy county engineer, left
Monday for Vancouver to answer the
call to colors.
White Salmon's oldest resident, J.
Mayhew, celebrated his S5th birthday
last Friday by having his picture taken
in his war garden among the corn po-
tatoes and other vegetables that are
growing most wonderfully and give
promise of an enormous yield. The
war garden comprises six city lots. 1t
means lots of work, but Mr., Mayhem
is equal to the task. He enjoys the
best of health and leads very active
life. Everyday sees him busily en-
gagged in his war garden, cultivatlng
the various plants and coaXing them to
grow to sizes that many an expert
gardener would point to in boasting
manner. Besides this garden. Mr..
Mayhew busies himself with his fine
flock of Single Comb Rhode Island Red
chickens which at the last Western
Klckitat county fair carried seven
blue ribbons.
J. Mayhem was born in England in
1888 and was brought to this country
by his parents when he was six months
old.
