COUNCILMEN ARE SATISFIED
WITH ASH COLLECTION
Tour of City by Officials ShoDs What Work Has Been
by Municipal Workers


ashes was pointed out in the back
yard. Neighbors when questioned
said that five times when collectors
called the ashes had not been put
in receptacles and that yesterday
after they left several receptacles
were filled. One of the commission
9rs suggested a prosecution and it
is likely the question will be dis
cussed with Mayor Keister.
The officials made no Investigations
in the Fourteenth ward. One of the
assistant inspectors said that the
yards there are in good condition, but
that on number of vacant lots
piles of ashes have accumulated and
should be removed. Councilmen said
they will make further inspection
there.
When the autos returned to the
Courthouse late in the afternoon rep
resentatives of the collection firm
gave the commissioners assurance
that with the cooperation of every
resident in the city regular collec-
tions will be made by districts. They
said they were receiving complaints
at times as it was impossible to reach
every yard because of labor condi-
tions and continual changes in the
forces. These are being given prompt
attention they said.

Take a Sunshine Tablet for
Thy Stonach's Sake

There never was such a marvellous
prescription for stomach distress and
indigestion as Mi-o-na.
No doctor ever wrote a better one; f;
it's doubtful if any doctor ever will.
It's so good that II. c. Kennedy says
money back if it doesn't relieve.
woman in Maine calls Mi-o-na
the sunshine prescription because she
has seen so many sour, miserable, ag-
gravating dyspeptics turned into
happy, cheerful sweet human beings
in a few days by taking Mi-o-na.
The stomach is responsible for
three -fourths of the nervousness and
half the misery of the world. A wo-
man can have a first-class stomach
and yet be miserable if she has a hus-
band who is a nervous dyspeptic.
If you have indigestion, belching of
gas, heaviness after eating, drowsy
sensation after eating, sour stomach
or any miserable stomach disturb
ance the prescription called Mi-o-na
will put you right, and bring sunshine
into your life in a week.
A large box of Mi-o-na tablets cost
only so cents at H. C. Kennedy's and
by leading druggists everywhere.
They are small and easy to swallow.

LEAKY ROOF IS NO BOTHER

st. Louls.-Louis P. Clark, now with
the American eXpedltionary forces in
France, In a letter to his sister here,
tells how Yankee ingenuity can cope
with wartime inconveniences. He
says:
"When we got over here we were
billeted In a queer little French vii
lage. The house 1 got into had roof
all punched full of holes. When it
rained water flooded tho room. For
two nights as / slept rain trickled
down my neck. The third night sat
up. The fourth day found five
gallon bucket and moved my cot to
where there was only a single hole
above. nailed the bucket to a raft
er under the hole. 1t brimmed over
after four hours. The rest was easy.
I had an alarm clock down In my
pack. dug 1t out. That night I set
1t for 2 q. M, and at that hour I got
up and emptied the bucket. l did
that for several nights. Frenchmen
around the place thought l was the
smartest guy they had ever seen or
heard Of. Believe me, these fellows
are learning by watching the Yanks do
things"

Jerusalem Blooming Again
Like a Rose, Says Writer
In Letter to London Times

The Rose of Jericho, writes Jeru'
salem correspondent to the London
Times, when one buys it In the shops,
is a queer little withered ball of shriv-
eled fibers, which the inexperienced
think fit only for the rubbish heap.
But put 1t in water and the thing re-
wives, turns freshly green and begins
to sprout anew with life that has been
always dormant but never dead. This
strange plant Is symbolical Of Jerusa-
lem. The more rapid recovery from
conditions of misery was delayed by
the maneuvers of certain spectators
whose object was to hinder the British
advance into Palestine, bringing with
it vivifying tide of honest Egyptian
notes and silver.
Scenting profit, rascally spectators
went about among the more ignorant,
cunningly representing Egyptian notes
to be only worth in gold the value Of
discredited Turkish paper, and they
thus succeeded in buying up guam
tty at the average price Of 3s. Cd.
Such chicanery caused great distress
to the mass Of the people and consid-
cradle inconvenience to the military
administration by shaking public con-
fidence In the Egyptian bank notes.
But the good names Of Britain and
of Egypt are helping things to right
themselves, and trade is now being
done In goods coming from Egypt
daily. Jerusalem had become like the
Rose of Jericho, which had withered
and was seemingly dead. To us is 1t
given to watch the Holy City revive
and renew her youth.

WAR CLOSER HOME.

This week brought to the United States probably the greatest shock of abe entire war in the sinking of a large number of American vessels by German submarines of the New Jer- sey coast. <. The expected had come, but it had been so long expected and 50 slow in coming, that we had been iulled into a sense of more or less false security.
 And then came the rude awakening.
 And the latest is that the whole city of New York has received orders for flights out fearing the next move viii be an aeroplane bombing raid.
 This would be war at home with a vengeance,
 But even as bad as 1t is, worse evil dently was planned for us. The be- lief is that the Huns sent their sea wolves over in the hope of sinking some of our transports bearing our soldiers to the European battlefelds. They are supposed to have lain in wait for such. prey for about two weeks, and, failing, took the small game in sight. The loss of life is therefore, comparatively slight, and the calamity and actual injury is far less.
 It is a good deal of satisfaction un- der the circumstances, to feel that the Hun raid on our shores is more or less display of spleen and of des- peration. The enemy has begun to feel the weight of the American army in France--a thing at which it had sneered for months. Tho reports come that the Americans are getting in the game on a substantial basis, and are stinging the Germans oppos- ing them in a fashion that is more  than irritating.
 The very latest word from over there says that American Aid Makes Allies Victory Sure" and that "Gen- eral Foch, with the help o1 the United States is certain to triumph in the end"
 
 That is the situation as it now is, but, before that lend" is attained, many more nasty affairs probably will be chronicled, and a good many Americans abroad, if not at home, must render their all on the altar of right and liberty.
 And, thanks be, the folks at home are doing their best.
