00 CONSUMERS GET SHORT END?

Stated That the Local Ice Monopoly Is Giving Short Weights.

CITY COUNCILMEN TALK.

SEEMED TO BE THE GENERAL CONCENSUS OF OPINION THAT ICE CONSUMERS IN RICHMOND WERE BEING "STUNG."

While B. B. Johnson, of the firm of Johnson & Ret. tig the local "ice trust." was attending a meeting of the Loard of public works last evening, Councilman Henry W Deuker arose from his seat in the council chamber and stated that, several people had complained to him that the ice trust was selling short weights in ice. Councilman Harvey Brown stated that last summer hundreds of people had made similar complaints. He Bald that he was of the opinion that the ice delivery men distributed the ice without weighing it and he would not be surprised if some of the delivery wagons were without scales. Councilman Bartel stated that Mr. Rettlg had informed him that before the ice was placed in the wagons each ake was carefully weighed and that these cakes generally weighed more than they were expected to, because allowance for melting had to be made. This statement caused all of the councilnien to laugh, and it was the general opinion that the market master, who has charge of the inspection of weights and measures, should get llusy and take steps to protect the public from short weights of ice. Councilman Brown ended the discussion on the ice question with the remark that ven though the ice trust weighed each cake of ice before it was placed in the delivery wagons it "was a cinch that the consumers got the short end."

Cures Eczema Quickly

New Drug, Pcslam, Now Obtainable in Small Quantities. Since its discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin afflictions. Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a month's treatment. -Fhis was found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles. etc., which require but a small quantity to cure. To overcom..' this, and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt, in addition to the regular two-dollar package, a special fifty-cent size, which in the future may be found on sale at V. H. Sudhoff's and other leading drug stores in Richmond, or may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th street, New York City. In all eczema cases poslam stops itching with first application, and proceeds to heal immediately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skin troubles, results are seen after an overnight application. Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge, by writing to the laboratories for them.

A f.ian Not Salted. A "freshmau" at college Is a man "not salted." It was anciently a custom in many colleges (as it is today) to play practical jokes on the newcomers. One of the most common of these jokes was to assemble them in a room and make them deliver a speech. Those who acquitted themselves well had a cup of "caudle." those who barely passed muster had a caudle with salt water, while the rest had the 'salt water only. Before this ordeal had been gone through they were all "freshmen" had not been salted. In the meantime the name somehow stuck to them until they had finished their first year at college, when they ceased to be fresbmeii. New York American.

0. H. Lackey, DENTIST 12 North Tenth St. Successor to Dr. Hamilton UP-TO-DATE DENTISTRY

The city council turned watchdog of '.he public treasury last evening when

the mayor presented a communication from the League of American municipalities inviting this city to be represented at the annual meeting which will be held in Omaha the latter part of September, and inviting the mayor or some one selected by him to appear on the program. Accompanying the communication was a bill for .2o, the annual dues of this city to the league. If the city paid these dues would the dear taxpayer stand for such extravagance' This was the question which confronted council and it provoked much feverish excitement. Councilman Bartel, head keeper of the treasury watch dog, promptly arose and made a motion that "both the communication and the bill" be placed on file. He said that only the larger cities of the country were members of this organization and that he did not see how Richmond would benefit much by belonging to it. He also pointed out that it would cost money, real money, to send delegates to this convention. Mr. Bartel stated that Richmond was a member of the Municipal League of Indiana and that he. thought that it. was only necessary for this city to be a member of that organization. Councilman Leftwl-rc made a motion to amend the Bartel motion by amending it to read that the bill and the communication be referred to the board of public works. This amendment was carried. An invitation for this city to be represented at the annual meeting of the Municipal League of Indiana was received, and it was stated that in the event this city was represented at this meeting, which will be held at Laporte, more money would' have to be appropriated to defray the expenses of the local delegates than was appropriated for this purpose last year when the meeting was held at Logansport. It was pointed out that Laporte was a considerable distance from Richmond. Last year $1K was appropriated for the expenses of the local delegation. The remembrance of this caused the eyeballs of the watch dogs to bulge with horror, but their lacerated feelings were somewhat soothed when Controller Parry stated that only $S1 of this money had been spent. Council finally decided to shoulder on to the mayor the responsibility of deciding whether or not. Richmond should be represented at the state meeting.

NO HUMBUG No humbug claims have to be made for Foley s Honey and Tar, the well known remedy for coughs, colds and lung troubles. The fact that more bottles of Foley's Honey and Tar are used than of any other cough remedy is the best testimonial of its great merit. Why then risk taking some unknown preparation when Foley's Honey and Tar costs you no more and is safe and sure. A. G. Luken & Co.

DEUKER A FRIEND OF REFUSE COLLECTORS

Asks That No Fee Be Charged Them Now

Councilman Deuker, when the ordinance providing that all carts carrying

and collecting refuse should be nnm

bered and that a fee of 25 cents be

charged for each number, last night asked the city council that no definite

action be taken on this ordinance until the next council meeting as there had been some objections raised over the feature of charging a 25 cent fee. This request was heeded although council thought that a fee should be charged.

We cook our wheat in pure Maple syrup, just for the children's sake. They like Maple sugar better than anything else that is good for them. So we use it to please them. To induce them to prefer the best food they can eat. It is rather expensive, but it is wise for you, for them, for us. There is no food like wheat. Other cereals may be used, for a little time, for variety. But the staple is always wheat. Whole wheat alone contains all the needed food elements in properly balanced form. So we use for Mapl-Flake the finest wheat in America. But wheat must be cooked cooked more than the usual else it is half indigestible. The atoms must be separated by a fierce heat so the digestive juices can get to them. Not half the wheat that people eat is subject to digestion. The balance is wasted. It ferments and forms gas. It leads to digestive disorders.

That's why we spend full 96 hours in preparing Mapl-Flake. We steam-cook the wheat for six hours. Think of that ! Then we cure it for days a partial digestive process. Then each separate berry is flaked so thin that the full heat of our ovens can attack every atom.

Then we bake those thin flakes in a heat o! 400 degrees. That's why Mapl-Flake is the best food produced. It is because of our proees. It is nothing but whole wheat, cooked wISl pure Maple syrup. But it is wheat made digestible. Wheat in a form that is new to you. A food that's all food. You will never again use other flaked foodseven though they seem cheaper after you try Mapl-Flake. One 15c Package Free We would far rather buy the first package omn selves than to have you go without knowing it. So, if you wish, please send us this coupon, and we will send you an order good at your grocer's for a 15c package free. Please let Mapl-Flake for your own saketell you how good it is. Then ask the childrea what food they'll have next.

How Cheap Is Your Soap? That is a question that few women can answer, because m-ny of them buy the impure kind, made to weigh heavily by the amount of rosin put into the soap. But rosin is not cleansing, and is not cheap at any price. The standard pure laundry soap is called Easy Task. It is all soap and therefore goes farthest, yet only costs five cents a cake.

Under suspension of the rules the

city council last evening, appropriated $100 to assist in defraying the expense of having band concerts at Glen Miller park every Sunday during the summer season. The street car company with its usual generosity has appropriated $100 for this purpose and the party who has the refreshment privileges at the park will be asked to produce $l"0 which will be added to the fund. The two local bands will be asked to submit bids for giving Sunday concerts and the organization handing in the lowest bid will be the one to furnish the municipal harmony. Councilman Brown had no objection but he thought the concerts should be given at the other parks. Xot everyone in the city, the sick and the aged for instance, could go to the Glen to hear these concerts. Mr. Brown also expressed a hope that the street car company, which will transport nearly all the people who attend these concerts, w.ould not be embarrassed financially by its generous contribution.
