WASTE OF OPPORTUNITY

The more minutes, hours and days spent in discussing the matter of day
 light saving, or, more properly, day light using, the more time will be taken from worth while work, the more time will be wasted. There is no sense in waiting to see what others will do." Whether clocks are changed or not the live, energetic people of this and every other community will get up and work at something earlier in the warm months than they did in the winter.
 Suppose we lived in climate where it rained every day between 9 a. m. and p. m. in the months of May to October. Would those who object to taking advantage of the earlier-rising sun cry out against changing the hours Of working in those months so that advanta ge
 night be taken of the hours before 3 a. m. when the rain was not apt to Nfall?
 The argument sounds childish, but one is tempted to use childish ex- amples in trying to convince people who seriously declare that because we have used an hour of darkness to sleep in the winter we must keep on using that hour for sleeping purposes even though the sunlight is streaming in at the window.
 It is nonsense to declare that any one loses any sleep because of day light saving time. No sleep is lost by anyone. The sleeping hours are mere- ly advanced. People who are as reg ular as the clock which they refer to as the mouthpiece of the Deity could continue to be- just as regular and would find an hour of bright ness in their day if they are looking for brightness.
 Only hatred of change" inspires the fight against the general use of daylight saving time. If the world | had relied upon those people who hate any change" it would be a | backward, slovenly world today-a world lighted by candle-light at night and traveling by stage coach, or worse, by day. The world refuses to waste time and opportunity any long, er

The school board and council elinin- ated, there remain the Mayor, the charter revision committee and our senator and representative in the legislature. The mayor has a check upon the common council in his veto power, so he may be grouped with it as getting greater power from the proposed amendment. The charter revision committee, its members ap- pointed by the Mayor, partakes of the same influence. There seem to re- main, then. only our senator and rep who have no power. to gain or lose through the action taken upon the proposed amendment. In this sense, therefore. they seem to be the only disinterested parties, except as all person mentioned are disinter- ested because they all want to do the best thing for the city.
 By logical, mathematical reasoning, it would seem that the per sons in the best position to judge the matter without being influenced by | any desire for power or any desire to | retain the power they have, are the senator and. the representatives, If, hen, they are against the amendment, t would seem, mathematically speak ing, the amendment should not be made to the charter.

The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or If blad-

of good water and also get about four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys may
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for years to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them

must be ratified or approved by TIN
common council. The onlv limita-
ton in the case OF the board of pub

dinance, chapter s, section /, page So
Of ordinances, which provides as FOL
lows: Contracts, home labor. When

THE right of the common council
to make this ordinance depends on
the construction to be given to the
charter. The common council under
charter provision chapter -, page

tions otherwise provided in this act,
TO make such orders ana ordinances

following subjects within the limits
of said City-concernmg the general

ing for and prescribing the principal
duties of all officers, and officials not
expressly defined by this act
Now It is apparent that il the
ordinance above cited is authorized
by the foregoing or other powers
given to the common council, then the
ordinance is valid, provided that the
power of the common council is not
limited under the restrictions other
wise provided in this act.'
This raises the following question:
Are the general powers at tho same

the board OF public charities in the
charter namely: The board of pub

selectmcn of towns by the laws Of
this state relative to the subsistence

cit should be borne in mind that
both the powers of the common coun-

on them the duty Of entering into
