new SYSTEM OF
DISPOSAL USED
City Tries Out Plan of Selling Gar
bage After Making Own
Collections.
MATTER Up AT MEETING
Company Desires Contract ami
Ordinance Governing All
Other Purchasers.

A new garbage disposal plan has
been tried out in Rock Island for
the last two weeks. II is believed
that the new plan is a success.
Whether or not it will be con
tlnued depends on action by the
city commissioners. At the regu-
lar session Of the officials yester-
day afternoon il was decided to
take the matter under further con-
sideraJion before a contract is let
to the Tri-City Disposal company.
which has been purchasing the
arbage after the city has made the
collections.
William f. Whiteside, represent
alive Of the company. appeared a.
the commi ssioners' meeting yes
terday and further explained the
workings OF the plan and what il
would mean to the city in a dnan-
cial way
The city has been making the
collections and hauling the garb-
age to the incinerator plant, where
1t is placed in the company cans
TO be removed to a farm south o.
Moline, where the garbage is fed
10 hogs The company pays the
city 10 cents for each can of the
garbage
Desires Ordinance.
Mr. Whiteside informed the com
missioners that the company de-
slTes 10 have an ordinance passed
making il obligatory for all garD-
age collectors 10 pay yearly Ii
cense Of $50 on each vehicle haul
ing garbage. The company will use
two vehicles in Rock Island, and
these viii mean a license fee OF
500 yearly All other persons col
lecting garbage in Rock Island
would be required 10 pay this Ii
Cense. A clause in the ordinance
is also desired setting forth that
the garbage must be hauled in d
sanitary manner The use of a Ger
tain kind OF can complies with this
provision
One OF the main points set forth
is that the practice Of wrapping the
garbage in paper be discontinued.
Posters to this effect will be print
ed and distributed at places of col
lection, and il is said that an order
can be obtained from the county
food administrator making it mand-
atOry that the garbage be IN
wrapped. II is said that paper Is
harmful TO hogs.
The commissioners desire TO
reach an early agreement. as it is
considered a great aid at this time
TO have the garbage put to a good
use. The plan will also save the
city considerable money. 1t is
believed that the services OF at
least one workman can be dis
pensaI with: a large percentage
less coal will be used At the incin-
orator. and in addition the city

lected

DIARRHOEA
Quickly Cured by
WAKEFIELD'S
Blackberry Balsarn

Wakefield S Blackberry Balsam has
been the surest and safest remedy for
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infan-
tura and Cholera Morbus for 70 years.
While it IS quick and positive in its
action, it is unlike other remedies in
that it is harmless and does not con-
stipate. 1t simply checks the trouble
and puts the stomach and bowels IN
their natural, regular condition. OF
the millions of bottles that have been
sold, never has a ease been reported
10 the manufacturer where a cure
was not effected when directions were
followed, even after other remedies
had failed. Every home should have
bottle or more on hand ready for sud
den attacks Full size bottle, 35c or 3
