ALL CITY REFUSE
Ordinance Defines Care Waste
Orders Chickens Penned Up.
Food Law Laid Over.

A drastic sanitation ordinance was
passed by the city commissioners yes
terday afternoon to take effect Noyem-
ber IS, under the provisions Of which
every lavatory in the city is required
to be connected with the sewer before
December 1 next, where possible. The
Is days Of grace are allowed after the
ordinance becomes a law in order to
enable Pensacolians ample time to
comply with the rigid requirements.
Every householder who lives on a
street where the sewers have already
been laid is required to comply with
the ordinance at the earliest possible
time. Those who do not live where it
is feasible to connect their homes with
the sewer are required to place all
lavatories in a state Of sanitation as
directed in the ordinance.
The city contemplates regular col
lection of refuse from every house in
the city where sewer connections ara
not feasible, for which the household
er will be required to pay a small
monthly fee covering the expense
This step has been taken at the re-
quest Of the state and government san
itation experts and it is believed will
remove most sources OF typhoid il
Pensacola.

Chickens must be kept in yards and
not allowed to run AT large under the
ordinance passed by the commission
ers, which makes it illegal for fowls
to run at large within the city limits

ly by Pensacolians who have lodged
many complaints with the city OFF,
cialS becalise Of the damage done to
gardens, lawns and flower beds. The
ordinance takes effect at once.
The sanitary ordinance affecting the
conditions under which food is pre-
pared for human consumption in bak-
cries and all other places Of business

NO CARRIER HIRED
FOR r. F. ID. NO. /

Troubles Of Postmaster Hancock
continue SO far as his efforts to Sc
cure carrier for rural route number
one are concerned. No one has been
found who will continue service on the
route. A woman who has made ap-
plication for the work will be taken
over the route tomorrow by the Post
master who has been serving the pa
irons himself. 1t is probable that the
woan will be retained for the work.
Since the road over which good
portion of the route runs il in such
poor condition, it may be necessary
to abandon portion of the schedule
unless the roads are repaired at once.
An alternative will be to have many
OF the patrons move their mail boxes
at the request of the carrier. In case
they refuse an appeal will be made to
Washington for the abandonment Of
those portions of the route and the
patrons may have to come to the post
Office for their mail.

PEACE

The United States did not enter into
this war unadvisedly, hastily, under
stress of heat or passion. We took the
step calmly, soberly, reluctantly, with
a full sense of the awful responsible
tiles involved, the sacrifices demanded,
the magnitude of the task,
President Wilson did not advise in
his war message, nor did congress act
in declaring a state Of war between
the United States and Germany with
out giving the most solemn considera-
ton to what the action meant. They
knew is meant the death Of thousands
of brave Americans; they knew it
meant suffering and wounds and the
disabling for life of hundreds Of thous-
ands Of our young men. They counted
to the full the human cost and the ma
terial cost.

MARK HIM WELL"

Breathes there man with soul so dead
Who'll not give up his all-wheat bread
To serve his own, his native land!
Who never yet less fuel burned
That more might be to Belgium turned
And to our boys on foreign strand !?
If such there breathe, go mark him
well.
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite these titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, concentrated all in self,
Living shall forfeit all renown,
And, double dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he
sprung,
Hun-wept, Hun-honored and Hun-sung.

WHEAT SAVED GLADLY
FOR BOYS AT FRONT
Patriotic Americans Eager to Make
All Sacrifices Necessary: Tennessee
Women Ready to Abstain from Use
of Products II Necessary: Pledge to
Limit Themselves to Three Pounds
Per week.

Washington, April evidences Of
the patriotic eagerness Of Americans
in all parts Of the country to stop the
using of wheat in order to. help the
army and the allies continue to pour
in upon the food administration.
A telegram received today from the
women's committee of the council of
national defense of Tennessee says
that speaking for the patriotic women
of the state, they record their willing
ness to abstain absolutely from the
use Of all wheat products if necessary
and pledge themselves in any circum-
stances not to use until the next har-
vest an aggregate of more than three
pounds of wheat -four products per
person per month. In order to make
sure that they carry out this pledge
they will agree to weigh carefully all
wheat -four products in any form that
go on their tables. These women fur
Their publicly express their determine

ing place that does not loyalty observe
all the regulations of the food admin
istration.

motives to turn over on similar terms

The farmer wrote that after sowing
his wheat last fall what he had left
was sold to the local miller and the re-
mainder made into -four for his own
use. His family had already cut down
their use of wheat flour by two-thirds
but are eager to go the limit.

THE BIRDS IN
NO MANS LAND

Several times in this colum.i mem
ton has been made of the presence of
birds along the battle front IN France.
The following references to the same
subject from various sections of the
line have lately appeared in Current
Items of Interest. The first is quoted
from a letter written by a member of
the Canadian Expcditionary Forces
who was on the firing line in Belgium:
ct is very strange how the birds stay
right up in the front line. After ter
rife bombardment the other morning
which was the worst we have expert
enced for six months, a skylark scared
up from no mans land and gave us a
lovely song, almost as soon as the mr.
ing ceased. A partridge flew over our
parapet one evening and settled in no
mans land quite unconcerned at the
rifle fire. The blackbirds give lovely
concert every morning and evening;
YOU can catch a snatch Of it in tempo
rary lulls in the firing" This comes in
letter from the western front: ION
the river Ancre, about six hundred
yards from the trenches, there are
numbers of coots and moor hens that
are entirely apparently oblivious of
the tremendous battle all around them.
Before the push they were about four
hundred yards from our front I've
trenches opposite ThiepNal, and in
front of our field guns" And this from
the neighborhood of Lens: "All thru
the night the battle of the guns went
on, and the sky was filled with the rush
of the shells; and the moon yelled her
face from this horror which made a
hell on earth. But in a little wood
nightingale sang through it all, in a
little wood in the curve Of crescent
Of guns, which every shell flash lit up
with white light, so tnaJ the delicate
tracery Of the boughs and branches
was rufhed and the tiny green leaves
were tremulous. In the heart of that
thicket nightingale sang with trills
and futters Of song, trying to reach
higher notes, to rise higher in its &C.
static outpouring, then warbling little
snatches Of melody" Similarly, birds
on the Macedonian front are said to
return calmly to their usual haunts as
soon as the firing ceases, little dis
turbed by the tremendous artillery dis
charges that de!uge their homes with
shot and shell.-The Companion.
