ment, However, to Go
Forward
WILL TRY TO KEEP
SIDEWALK OPEN

Workmen in the employe OF the
J. A. Bader Company. today began
constructing an overhead bridge in
front of the Security Storage Ware
house, preparatory to starting work
on an addition to the present five
story structure. The contractors
had begun erecting a huge wooden
tower, bridge and fence about the
operation, but following complaints
from residents in that section TO the
police department, the Street and
Sewer Department ordered the
work stopped.
1t was held by the Street and
Sewer Department and the police
officials. that the overhead bridge
obstructed the sidewalk.
Frank w. Pierson, Street Commits
sioner, said that the law relative to
such distractions. had been violated
in the city lately. But" continued
Mr.. Pierson. 'one cannot build a
structure in a shop and carry it T.,
the site. II has got to be erected
there and such work naturally causes
the sidewalks TO be blocked"
Mr.. Pierson said the matter had
been settled and the work would be
resumed. Mr.. Bader admitted his
men were obstructing the sidewalk.
but declared that it was necessary
while erecting the bridge. You
can't have n bridge" he said. "be-
fore you build IT, My men were
building the structure called for by
the law when they were stopped -
He said that while the law requires
the sidewalk be not obstructed, the
contractors and building inspectors
OF the city have for number of
years had a "gentlemen's agree
nent" whereby the contractors in
building the bridges and fences
around their work. could obstruct
traffic temporarily. He declared that
at the time the men were STONED
six feet Of the sidewalk was already
cleared for passageway. He init
mated that the complaint must have
come from someone in the neigh
borhood. and not from the building
inspectors.

SCHOOL FOUNDATIONS

Building Inspector Preston has
examined No. 23 public school build

the building are being damaged by
the failure to carry Off rain or sur

Mr.. Preston says the rain spouts
from the roof have rusted off, the
sewers are choked and the surface
water is running in the basement
which is not only damaging the
building but is also, IN his opinion,
a menace to the health of the teach
ers and pupils
Mr.. Preston also says the toilets
drain into an open sewer and are
far from being in a sanitary condi-
ton.

SAYS SABBATH
IS Divine LAW
Evangelist Denies Right of
Church to Change Day

MAKES ANSWER
TO RECTOR'S VIEWS

e. A. Collins, Adventist. today
made reply to the Rev. Edmund H.
Stevens criticism of the evangelist e
Sabbath views. Mr.. Stevens is rec
tor Of Calvary p. e. Church.
Mr.. Collins said:
'"rhe position assumed by the
Rev. Edmund II. Stevens upon the
Sabbath question is unique in its
frankness and freedom from subter-
fuge so often resorted TO in discus
sion of this topic by Protestants
But il is a bold claim that the Chris
tian church has authority to change
or regulate the laws OF omnipotence.
"The church of a former period
may in a sense have been RESPONSE
bic for the collection OF sacred
books and their arrangement and
publication in Bible form as we
know them now; but she was not
responsible for the creation OF the
inspired Word, and had nothing 10
do with the requirements contained
therein. The apostle Peter declares
that no prophecy OF the Scripture is
OF any private Interpretation. For
the prophecy came not in old time
by the will OF man; but holy men
OF God spake as they were moved by
the Holy Ghost 2 Peter 1890, 81.
Paul also declares that all Scripture
is given by inspiration OF God 2
Timothy 3:16.
therefore the church has no au-
thority to issue writings that are
called sacred. They are purely the
product OF the Spirits dictation. and

God does not alter His divine
declarations. He afilrms. I am the
Lord, 1 change not My covenant
will I not break, nor alter the thing
that is gone out OF my lips.

There is considerable difference
between doing the commandments

largely in Collier. the fun-maker.
The company is excellent and each

The story centers around a young

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
And The FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and infu-
enza can be depended upon for full eff
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less calomel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style Gallo
mel Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that s
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your money will be cheer
fully refunded if you do not find tkor.

BEE KING OF NEBRASKA HAS
100000 HONEY MAKERS
Owns 300 Colonies Distributed Over
Distance of 81 Miles.

OGALLALA, Neb.-C. A. Eiker,
of this city, has the distinction of be
ing the bee king OF Nebraska. He has
thirty-two miles of colonies distribut-
ed up and down the South Platte riv-
er, and estimates that they are inhabit-
ed by approximately 100000 bees.
He harvested more than $1,000 pounds
OF honey last year, and expects this
years crop to exceed 10000 pounds.
The bees owned by Mr.. Eiker are
quartered in approximately 800 colo
mics. Each colony, Mr.. Eiker estimates,
is now inhabited by between 10000
and $4,000 bees This working force
will be increased to between $4,000
and 10000 bees to the colony as soon
as warm weather begins. This will
bring the total population OF Mr.,
Eiker's bee farm to more than l3,0O0,-
600 bees, he estimates.
Caring for so many bees, Mr.. Eiker
says, is not as big job as it would
seem. He does all the work. himself
except at harvest time, when he en-
ployes several assistants, usually two
girls and a man, to extract the honey.
He does all the outside work himself,
He has handled bees so many years
that rarely is he ''stung, and when
he is is does not bother him

in the home had made a bright and
attractive setting for the affair, the
valentine note in the decorations be
