What's to. Prevent? Tha llvel 7 controversy in council meeting Monday night over th condition ot tbe streets and particularly the alleys Is more important than the) ordinary citizen is likely to believe. Most of us accept the dirty alley as a thing which while not the most charming and Interesting place in the world, is one of those things called "a necessary evil." . - It Is noL . There are such things as clean alleys. The alleys of this town can be kept clean and for the most part by an expedient which will not cost a cent more. '

At least half the filth that is distributed over tbe face of the alley can be regulated by the property owner himself. It Is no uncommon thing to go down the street and look down alleys and find that here and there by Just one man's carelessness the whole alley has been littered up. - When the pride - ot tbe house bolder is to be inspected look, in tbe alleya! The alley is the place where those diseases that, we cannot account for when we get them start. That case of typhoid alley and flies. That' "summer cold" the alley and flies. ? That sick baby the ailing ,xnr flier the man with the cold all these have aome connection with the slovenliness of life that makes the alley dirty.

I "But why don't the city authorities do something?" That la the question that people ask. Superintendent Genn and the crematory people do good work. It is not their fault altogether no matter what a stickler for having every bit of your business attended to by city authorities you may be. Not but that the street depaitment is responsible. But obviously the street department cannot be in every place at once. It it can be shown that the street department is lying down good, It ought to be criticized. But there is one thing that can be done. .

That is tbe simple enforcement of f.he plentiful state and local legislation on this subject. . ' It may not be very' pleasant to be pulled before the city court and asked to explain to clean up or suffer the consequences. But this can be done. . - ; ' . ' We dp not suppose the police force think that their main business in life la to Bet as supervisors of garbage collection and that sort of thing. But If they consider the fact that people's lives are Imperiled that it is Just as good to save a baby's life by keeping the alleys clean aa to save ' that baby when it is in front of a street car. Of course the street car stunt is one which compels applause. But it is quite as much a part ot the city's welfare to keep the health of the community in good shape as it Is to manage tbe traffic at 8th and Main.

Things can be kept clean. If the city really wants to keep things clean they can be kept that way by keeping it well before people's attenUon through the police force. Though it is quite possible that some of those people who ask "why the city doesn't do something," may not like the enforcement of the laws and ordinances. Given control of the police force, the street department, the city health department, there is not a full grown man in town barring imbecility, that couldn't make things look differently no matter whether the bock-sliders wanted it or not. And a-Jded to that the overwhelming majority tLat want things clean JV hat to prevent? :

Miss Rachel Caine of Chicago. Is in Detroit with a marriage license issued in Chicago a considerable time ago, in pursuit of her sixty-year-old fiance, a rural judge of Illinois, whose name or home she refuses to give, because she wants aa much as possible to avoid publicity. She says he has been kidnapped by hia daughter and son-in-law. The judge is worth $500,000, she says, but she does not want him for bis money, for her parents are wealthy and are paying her expenses in this chase. She insists that they are deeply in love with each other. They attempted to get married in Chicago first, , but were prevented. The judge went to New York and sent word to Miss Caine to join him. There was a minister ready when she got there, but the daughter and her husband kidnapped him again. Soon he wrote that they were going to Florida. She followed. They were in a- carriage, on their way to the church, when the inexorable kidnappers appeared. She followed them back to Chicago again, learning shortly that they were to go to Canada. She left on the same train with them for Detroit, but they disappeared at Montpelior, Ohio. She came on to. Detroit. 25c Dr.

EAST EIIO AT WAR WITH BOLD THIEF This Raffles Believed to Be a . Woman Traps Are Laid to Catch Her.

For the past year the southeast section of the city, has been registering complaints with the police on flower, chicken and garden thefts. The police have been wholly untble to catch the thief, or to find any clews. Su perintendent Gormon, of the police de partment, says there have been complaints but further knows nothing of the situation. The residents of this section of the city, realizing the inability of the poline' to protect them have originated methods of their own. which are unique to say the least. After several valuable porch boxes had been taken from the veranda of Sharon E. Jones, South Thirteenth and A streets, Mr. Jones placed' a sort of burglar alarm attachment on bis porch flower boxes, so that if they are disturbed an electric light on the porch and a bell will sound an alarm. Mr. Jones's ingenious device, so far, it is understood, has not had a try out but as to its effciiency be does not doubt. Although the thefts have been mysterious it is thought the guilty person is a woman, who lives in the southeast section of the city. Recently,, it is said, a South Fifteenth street resident surprised the thief in his barn, at night. The person escaped. An electrical device was connected with a garden gate at another home. On a dark night recently the gate was heard to open and then there was a feminine scream. A woman was Been running down the alley. A South Eighteenth street man fill

TAKE A REST. If women would take a few minutes' rest every once in a while during the day they could get lota more work done. It's the constant strain that makes a woman tired before the day is over, Maybe you think you : cant take time to rest if you will use Hewitt's Easy Task soap in the kitchen and laundry you'll have plenty of time. It does half the work itself and doesn't eat into the clothes like many common soaps do. Just say Easy Task to your grocer he'll know. ' .
