COMPLAINT ON CITY MARKET TRUCKS MADE Mr. Fixit Will Attempt to Prevent Delaware St. Blockade.

Do You Know? I)og taxes are due. You pay your $2 at the office of the city controller ofr'the first floor of the city hall.

If Mr. Fixit can aspist, you in your dealings with city authorities, give him a chance. Write him at The Times. He is the representative of The Times at the city hall. _. .. By Mr. Fixit A favorite alibi of employes who are late to work may be destroyed through Mr. Fixifs 'efforts to prevent trucks from blocking Delaware St, at the city market. FIXIT. OLD MAN: Why is it hecesjpry for street cars to be delayed on Delaware St. at the city market? Every morning when I go to work there are a bunch of trucks parked so close to the track street cars cannot pass. Haven’s we any police to keep market trucks from being parked in the middle of the street? LATE TO WORK EVERY MORNING. Captain Fletcher told Mr. Fixit he woujd instruct police to prevent the blockade that seems to have been established on Delaware St. by the market trucks. * * * DEAR MR. FIXIT: The 600 block on Bernard Ave. has not been swept, or flushed by the D. S. C. this year. The cleaners go as far as Byram Ave. and turn south there. Would like to know the reason for this and have it remedied, if possible. _ C fIZEN. John F. Walker, supe intendent of the street cleaning C apartment, told Mr. Fixit he would instruct men of his department to clean your street. DEAR MR. FIXIT: I have just received a bill from the city for the improving of a street on which I own a piece of property. This bill is for over S7OO at the rate of $6.38 a foot. Just a few blocks away another street was improved at a cost to the property owners of $3.20 per foot. The latter street, I believe, is wider than my own. but the other conditions were the same. Can you tell me why one street should cost twice as much as the other, ana if there is any recourse? The street that cost $3.20 per foot was paved by an out-of-town firm, while the other was paved by a lgcal concern. Why does our wise city council and other city officials permit a 'ocal concer nto charge twice as much and get away with it? PROPERTY OWNER. Mr. Fixit shares your perplexity and has his private opinion. If you will name the streets, he will be glad to undertake an investigation.

DEAR MR. FIXIT: Why can’t this city pay more attention to dangerous criminal conditions existing and try to protect our city by adding some real men to the police department to protect women and children the same as the soldiers protected this picture? (This was written on a postal card which bore a pictlire of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument.) Everj-one wants plenty of policemen, but few desire to pay the higher taxes that result. Police Chief Herman F. Rikhoff, members ofthe board of safety and many other administration leaders agree with your stand, but city councilmen have indicated they will slaughter any ordinance of that nature proposed. Meanwhile crimes continue and entire sections of the city are without police protection. It's a deadlock. Mr. Fixit has no other answer. / GATLING GUN PICNIC Homer Selch, chairman of the entertainment committee of the Gatling Gun Club, has announced the organization will hold its annual basket picnic Sunday at Brandywine Park, near Greenfield. FARM BUREAU ELECTS W. T. Hancock of Wilkinson, Ind., is the new director of organization for the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation as the result of tin election held by the executive board Tuesday.

AFTER BABY WAS BORN Mrs. Miles Was Miserable a Long Time— Owes Final Recovery to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound “After my last baby was born 1 was up and ar'ound again, but I

was sickly all the time and did not know how to get my work done. I had washed a hea-vy carpet and I think that was the cause of my troubles. Medicines did not do me any good. J wondered

.what the trouble was, for I could hardly walk and always had such pains in my left side and then in my right side. I found I had lhflammation that, caused it. I had one of your text-hooks and' was reading it, and I thought I would take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. After four days of taking It I began to f4l better, so I took three bottles without missing a dose. That helped me more than any other medicine I had yet taken and I always have It handy now. It surely did put me on my feet again.” —Mrs. James Miles, 419 iCherry Street, Dover, Ohio. [ You must believe that a medicine ithat helps other women will help you.
