Bavis Shows Economy of Buying Flasher to Clean Streets

strett

Council asked President Bavis. of the board of public works, last night lo explain tbe proposed improvements which the city is contemplating, after be had explained -why certain appropriated money should be transferred to other funds, chiefly the fund for the payment of the city's part of sewers, streets and alleys. "For reasons of economy," said Mr. Bavis. "We believe we should use a

f lusher to clean our brick

. We are saving the city $1,140 as a member of the board acts

as assistant street commissioner. The

timekeeper also has been abolished. We wish to transfer that amount from the street department's pay roll appropriation. "It is costong $90 a week, or about $15 a day, to keep the five miles of brick streets clean. With a street flusher, we can, estimating high, clean a mile for $4.50, or go over all the city has for $22.60. We can give the brick streets two flushings for half the cost we are paying now." Wants $7,000 Transferred. Mr. Bavis asked the transfer of $7,000 to the city's part of sewer, street and alley improvements. $4,000 from the appropriation made for the condemnation and widening of North Third street, and $3,000 from the $15,000 fund for lighting the streets, parks and city buildings. In the same

ordinance, $1,300 will be transferred

to the miscellaneous fund of the street department from the pay roll and $112.30 appropriated for horse feed, will be transferred to miscellaneous expenses of the police department. City Controller McMahan asked the appropriation of $50 for office expenses incurred through the purchase oi new records. Councilman Weishaupt fought a motion to suspend the rules and place the ordinance on second reading and succeeded in killing it. He averred the city has been putting off the im

provement of Third street for years, and unless the $4,000 is used for that purpose, it will be years before the Improvement is made. He asserted his determination to fight the bill. "The Morton lake sewer can wait. So can the street flusher and the North Seventh street Improvement. Anr further move to appropriate the Third street money will mean a fight on my part." The motion for suspension of the rules was killed by his one dissenting vote. Contemplated Improvements. Among the improvements which Mr. Bavis said the city is contemplating are: Improvement of North Seventh street by paving; paving of Neff and North Sixth streets; sidewalks on North Eighteenth street; paving from Fourth to the bridge on Main street; sidewalks on Northwest Fourth street from Kinsey north to railroad; repairing of North Third street from Main to C street; sewer system In Morton park; Richmond avenue sewer and several others. Payment must also be made for several improvements contracted under the Zimmerman administration and now completed. Last year's budget gave the board $12,000, whereas the contemplated improvements will cost $22,000. A number of the improvements will be killed by remonstrance, however, and others will not be completed this year. When the ordinance for the Improvement of North Seventh street by paving was introduced on second reading, a remonstrance against It, containing the names of sixteen widows and four male property owners, was read. However, the ordinance passed second reading after it was stated an investigation showed that the residents were well able to pay for the improvement. The city will pay $2,500. City Engineer Charles said the cost will be about $2 a running foot to property owners and $1 to the city.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girl's after a "Danderine hair cleanse." Just try this moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw It through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. Besides beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purines and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair. But what will please you most will be after- a few weeks' use when you will actually see new hair fine and downy at first yes but really new hair growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it surely get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any druggist or toilet counter, and just try It.

The pubHo utilities committee reported to council last night that Superintendent Gordon, of the Richmond lines of the T. H., I. and B Traction company, will use his Influence with C. K. Jefferies, representative of the company, to have conductors placed on West Richmond and Palrview cars without an ordinance. A report will be made at next meeting. The milk ordinance was reported as progressing by the ordinance committee. The new bill probably will be presented at the next meeting. Further investigation will be made before any action on the west side sewer as Councilman Waidele reported the city cannot assess the property owners for part of the sewer which will be 1,000 feet out of the corporation. A resolution to sell the old fire engine in the No. 3 hose house was introduced by Councilman Williams and passed, council deciding the engine is neither useful nor ornamental, but terming it as "junk."

"Movies" to Help Find Lost Catherine Winters

FOX GIVES DECISION

Judge Fox spoke at length on the garnishee act of 1911, protecting householders from garnishment outside of the state, in making his decision of the suit of Forrest Nicholson against Walter Bullerdick for recovery of $40 on a grocery bill collected in a West Virginia justice of the peace court, attorney fees and court costs amounting to almost $100. Judgment was rendered for Bullerdick. Judge Fox based, his decision on the fact that Nicholson failed to show he is a householder and therefore entitled to exemption from garnishment.

"New Castle people who hare been Interested in assisting Dr. and Mrs. Winters In their search for their little daughter. Catherine, who disappeared over a year ago, are still confident the child is alive. "To continue the search, money Is needed the Winters family have used all their funds in the year-long Bearch so I have come to Richmond as the official representative of the people of New Castle to ask the citizens of our sister city to assist in raising of a fund which is to restore Catherine to her grief-stricken parents. It's a worthy cause, and I know the good people of Richmond will help me." This was the statement made by Mayor Lem "Watkins, of New Castle, who came to Richmond today with Mrs. Winters for the purpose of arranging a benefit performance at some lecal moving picture theatre. - This afternoon Mayor Watkins announced that he had arranged to show a film depicting scenes and incidents conected with the disappearance of Catherine Winters, at the Murray theatre on Sunday, April 19, both afternoon and evening. Twenty-five per cent of the box office receipts will go into the fund to be used for the search of the Winters child, and all of the money placed in the contribution box at the entrance to the theatre. Mayor Watkins will appear on the stage before each performance, tell of the mysterious disappearance of little Catherine, and of the plans to locate her and restore her to her parents. Mayor Watkins told how on the day Catherine Winters disappeared a New Castle traveling man, a Mr. Pickering, boarded a north bound Pennsylvania train. In the seat ahead

of him was a veiled woman, apparently middle aged, and at her side a little girl, also veiled, wearing a straw hat and a red sweater, as the Winters child was dressed when last seen in New Castle. Pickering says that before the train got out of New Castle the woman made the cballd ' change her seat next to the window to a seat opposite the aisle. Pickering left the train at Anderson, but the woman and little girl remained on it.

MAY APPOINT DEPUTY The Commissioners Consider New Health Office.

F MEALS SOUR AND TURN INTO GAS, TAKE SODA

Whether to ask an appropriation for salary for a deputy county health officer will be the chief business of the county commissioners at a session called for tomorrow to receive the report of poor accounts from the townBhip trustees. The commissioners discussed the plan of appointing George Young to the position. The expense of the county health department now for disinfecting and special work, outside of the salary of Dr. Krueger, is as great as the salary of a deputy could be. The appropriation is legal, G. H. Hoelscher, county attorney, said. The county commissioners will decide tomorrow whether or not Mr. Young will be employed for the position by passing or rejecting a resolution asking for an appropriation of about $900 $1,000 for the first year's salary of the proposed deputy.

When, everything we eat turns to gas and we eructate aour food and acrid fluids, it means there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, says a noted authority. This irritating acid retards the process of digestion and promotes food fermentation. Our meals sour in the Stomach like garbage sours in a can, forming gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon, causing a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, constant belching of gas, sour risings or heartburn, fullness and often nausea. He tells us to lay asidejU digestive aids and instead, get from "any pharmacy a package of 10 grain Sodagen tablets and take one tablet anytime, followed by a tumbler of water which will instantly neutralize acidity, stop food fermentation, absorb the gases and sweeten the entire digestive system. He further states that those troubled with chronic acidity should take one tablet regularly, an hour after meals for awhile, as this simple antacid is entirely harmless, being composed of Soda, Magnesia and Calcium Carbonate U.
