ASK PAYMENT FOR
DOCK DREDGING WORK


Along with a large amount OF bush
ness of purely routine nature that
occupied the time and attention of
members of the City Council last
night, letter from the Mclean Con
tracing Company, giving statement
of the contract work in connection
with the recent dredging work of the
city dock, and asking settlement
therefor. was read before the solons.
The letter stated, among other
things, that the contractors anticipa-
ted settlement by September l. The
total cost Of the work was shown TO
have amounted to $10,0S2.30. The
question of settling the bill immedi-
ately brought forth some little dis
cpssion. but in view of the fact that
the Council has not finally passed up
on certain phases of the work that is
as to whether it was completed in ac-
cordance with requirements as set
forth in the specifications. 1t was or
dered that the treasurer make a part
payment of $4,000, settlement for the
balance to be withheld pending final
inspection.

THE white Shit

The one hue that can never become
commonplace is white. Even the
present very exclusive shade which
the French call citron and which we
know as a luminous lemon color may
be reproduced and dragged into the
dust of the basement bargain counter.
There is no color so difficult or so
exotic that it cannot be popularized.
Fashion sometimes even plays herself
so unkind trick as to mark with her
favor a high shade that is hopelessly
unbecoming, feeling that at last she
has made a selection that cannot read
lily become cheapened.
The white suit may ever be the pos
session of the few, because a suit is
something that we wear outdoors.
With a house frock or an evening
frock we can avoid the beaten path.
we had better wear raiment more sub
staptfaI
There is not an amazing number Of
occasions when any woman may wear
white cloth suit, and to wear it with
any peace OF mind she must have a
large endowment fund, so that it can
be sent to the dry cleaners at frequent
intervals. But there is nothing more
enticing in the summer wardrobe.
Fruits that hang high on a tree always
are enticing.

NAME MEANS WHITE ISLAND
Probable ESpIanation of Why Island
of Great Britain Has Been
Called "AIbion."

"AlbIdh's IS the oldest name by
which the sslapd of Great Britain was
known to the Greeks and Romans
Great Britai1f and Ireland were known
by the general appellation of the Brit
annie islands, while the former was
designated BIZ that particular name OF
Albion or AlwiOn, and the latter by
that Of Iernc. ioucrnla or Erin. Gaze
sar does not use the word Albion; his
name for, England was Britannia.
Pliny says: s.srhe name Of the island
was 'Albion,' She whole set of islands
being called Britannia" The word
albion" Is still the only name by
which the Gaels Of Scotland designate
that country. snd the word signifies
in the Gaelic language. white or fair
island. The word alb" itself is not
now In use hi Gaelic, but Is probably
the same r2et that we find in the Lat
in adjective :"al-bus," and in the word
"Alps." The name of Albion was prob
ably given t9 England by the Gaels
of the opposite coast, who could not
fail to be struck by the .chalky cliffs
that chartctQized the nearest part
Of Kent. SOME authors derive it from
Albion, son. If Neptune by Abphritite,
who according to the fabulous story
went into Britain, established king

the art of building ships. He was killed
at the mouas of the Rhone with stones

A GLIMPSE OF LIFE

SELF-CONTAINED BASIS

To those people who have not seen

at Brownsville, this county. and who
have never had an opportunity 10 gain
more Intimate knowledge of the work
that is carried on there than what they
have heard in ordinary talk of the
place. there is a very interesting lot
of information that may be given.
The only way in which one may
come to fully appreciate what is done
at this hospital is TO pay it visit.
Then, if they are fortunate enough to
be escorted through. all Of the various
departments and receive explanations
Of the many things that are 10 be seen.
their ideas OF the institution are COM
pletely changed.
One of the first things that visitor
learns is that the colCrcd people, who
are placed there are not inmates, bat
patients. The general idea seems TO be
that the hospital is really a sort of
Bedlam, and that the only treatment
which mentally defective are given. is
that of close confinement and careful
watching. The notion is entirely
wrong. Instead of confinement, the
patients are given all of the liberties
that they could be given anywhere.
The only means of restraining any VIC
| lent case that hospital may have is
one pair of handouts, and they are but
rarely used only in an emergency
where it is found necessary as means
for preventing the patient from injur-
ing himself.
The large buildings. which make up
the hospital, are connected by an I'M
dergtoun dpassageway, and the visitor
is conducted from one to another
through this tunnel, which is used by
the patients in cold weather,

Patients Are Industrious

The designs evolved by the makers
of the willow baskets in the hospital
are indeed remarkable. They are left
20 their own taste in the matter of
coIorings and shapes and many of the
products are highly artistic. These art
baskets always find good market, and
bring valuable revenue to the hos
pifal. Chairs and all other pieces OF
furniture that can be made of willow
are turned out in the department of
willow work.

Mcdicated Alcohol

Pharmacists who hold permit and
have given bond are allowed to medi-
cate alcohol and sell it for nonbev-
erage purposes in quantities not ex-
|ceeding one pint, provided they first
medicate it in accordance with any one
of nine formulas specified by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, u. S.
Treasury Department. Carbolic acid,
formaldehyde and bichloyide of mer-
curry are the chief of these denaturing
iagents. The container of such medi-
Gated alcohol must bear a Poison
label The6 sale by pharmacists of
indicated alcohol for industrial pur-
poses is prohibited. 1t is sold chiefly
for rubbing purposes.
In spite of these regulations and
precautions some persons are using
these poisons for drinking purposes,
even at times completely disregarding
the Poison" label which may have
appeared on the bottle In other in
stances, the victims have been ignOr-
ant of the dangers of that which they
were using,-the beverage having been
prepared by others and sold under
false pretenses or under some mis-
leading name. When the original man
lfacturer of mixtures of this nature
can be apprehended he has been, in
many instances subjected to severe
punishment by the Courts.

BULGARIA L and OF Roses.


If one visits lge rose fields Of Bull

can goes to the ;fieids to pick roses.
The picturesque costumes amid the
blooms of roses look very beautiful to
one standing on hilltop overlooking
the sea of floWa9s.
The roses are gathered while tie
dew is still fresh upon them, because
the roses yield more altar if gathered

Under Perfect ORGANIZATION

So, on the scientific and professional
side, the hospital is found to be COM
plete III detail and under perfect or
ganization. In the other departments
where the patients themselves are, one
is surprised at the orderliness with
which everything is run.
The hospital is as nearly self-con-
tanned as it could be, the only thing
for it's conduct that comes from the
outside being electricity. 1t has it's own
ice plant, centrally located heating
system, and elevated spur of the W,
B. & A. line for its coal yard, a gas
plant of its own, cannery for the
farm products, and everything that is
required to make il community in it
self A great contribution 10 the sup
port of the hospital is made by the
work of the patients. All who can
work are assigned to some branch
where their minds may be occupied.
In the construction of the buildings
themselves when the institution was
enlarged by the State few years ago,
a saving of several thousands of dol
lars was effected by this means.
On the farm OF the hospital are
grown practically all of the foods that
are used there. The tobacco THAT the
patients use is grown by the patients
themselves, and cured by them.
Broomcorn is cultivated, and the
brooms made from 1t are used in the
buildings. A portion of the farm is
used for growing willow, and the will
low is utilized in asket-making by
those who are assigned to that kind of
work

Dcnatured Alcohol

In 1906, Congress, following the lead
of European countries enacted law
permitting the general use Of tax
free industrial CdenatureD domestic
alcohol in order to stimulate industrial
purposes for which the high cost of
grain alcohol was prohibitive. Dena-
tured alcohol usually consists of ninety
per cent. grain alcohol and ten per
cent wood alcohol, thus rendering it
unfit for drinking. 1t is being in
creasingly substituted for wood alco-
mol in many Industrial uses. to elimi-
nate the great dangers attendant upon
the use of the latter.

Wood Alcohol

The wood alcohol used in the United
States is obtained chiefly from the
destructive distillation Of Woodland
wood, birch, beech, maple. oak, elm
and alder being those most frequently
used. The chief uses to which it is
put are for the denaturing of grain
alcohol; for various purposes in lines
of common manufacture Especially
as a solvent in the preparation of shell
lac, varnish, dyes, etc) as an ingredi-
ent in medical and pharmaceutical
preparations; in the chemical indus
tries and as fuel and illuminant.
Only within recent years has wood
alcohol become so dangerous to life
and sight Formerly it was a dark,
had-smelling, bad-tasting fluid which
no one was tempted to drink. Later,
a process was developed Icy which this
color, smell and taste are removed.
Wood alcohol, when purified in this
way, looks, smells and tastes like grain
alcohol, and may thus be easily sub
stituted for it by INSCRIPTIONS per-

SPECIAL WARNINGS
| AGAINST WOOD ALCOHOL
Caused Death And Blindness
Alarming Increase In
Fatalities
POISONOUS PRODUCT

Owing TO the heavy increase recently
noted in the number of deaths and
cases of blindness resulting from the
drinking of wood alcohol by those ig-
norant of its dangers, the National
Committee for the Prevention OF
Blindness, 1870 East Twenty-second
street, New York, is sending broadcast
special warnings OF the tragic conse-
quences which may follow the use OF
wood alcohol. denatured alcohol and
medicated alcohol for beverage pur-
poses.
+ Occasional cases of this nature lave
been occurring from time to time for
many years, but since National pro-
hibition went into effect, there has
been an alarming increase in all Sec
tons of the country due to the prepa-
rations OF drinks in which wood alco-
hol has been used or in some cases
where it has been taken straight.
The harmful action of this poison
comes not only from taking it inter
nally. but may likeXise lie induced by
breathing its fumes. and by absorption
through the mucuous membranes of
the body. It's effect is usually notice
able very shortly after exposure.
Within a few hours after drinking,
acute headache is noted. usually ac-
companied by violent attacks Of vomit-
ing, body pains, extending over the
region of the kidneys. and excessive
dizziness. Vision may become impair
ed, total blindness occur, and death
