REMOVE RUBBISH
And i.essen Causes for Fire
IfVre Marshal Copley.
Says
Fire Marshal Geo. E Copley has
been visiting the business men to-
day in the hope ot getting them
interested ity cleaning the baclw al-
leys and relieving them of rubbish.
He is also desirous of seeing the
residents of the city do away with
as muoh of the rubbish as possible.
“A pile of trash,” said Mr. Cop-
ley, ’’was thf cause of the White-
wright holocaust and that should be
an object lesson t.o all people to
clean their ppkmlses of trash for in
doing so It not only relieves condi-
tions for disease germs, but makes
homes look more pleasant and les-
sens the danger of fires In the busi-
ness district of the city.”
Wait Point Tradition*.
“It Is an Interest lug fact, often re-
ferred to *t alumni reuulous and In
addressea delivered to the cadeta at
West Point," said a retired army offl
err, “that one of the moat distin-
guished of the graduates of tbe acad-
emy, wbo afterward wore the epun-
lets of a major general, was once a
bootblack on tbe streets of New York
and was plying bis trade when be no
tlced In a newspaper an announce
merit of a vacancy at the academy
for the district In which he lived, and
be applied for It
“Another of the traditions," contin-
ued the officer, “is that one of the best
cadet officers that ever wore the gray
was tbe son of a convict, and. al-
though that fact was known to every
one of bis comrades. It uever made
tbe slightest difference In his social
standing. I do not know of any other
Institution where tbe same social rec-
ognition and tbe same loyalty of com-
radeship would be displayed.”—Wash

‘’Indications are better for rain

than they have been for sev-
eral weeks,” raid R. A. Gibbs, local
weather observer, this morning. Mr.
Gibbs further said that he did not
pose as a rain predictor but. wyts go-

formerly noticed. Today's weather
prediction is for increasing cloudi-

Careful observers among the medi-
cal profession estimate that of 'those
who seek the services of a physician
three-fourths arc* women.
Many of the women are without
question in need of surgical treat-
ment, but perhaps the majority of
them will Ik* greatly benefitted by
medical treatment only.
In Uhe course of treating such all-
intents, physicians have demonstrat-
ed beyond question the value of cer-
tain drugs in their treatment and,
following the formula nt\bd by a phy*
slcian especially successful in such
cases, Kexnll Vegetable Compound
Ima been placed upon the market.
Many women have learned by ex-
perience that their aliments were of
such a nature that they themselves
might administer satisfactory treat-
ment. While we dx> not recommend
such a procedure, butt strongly ad-
vise Ihat you consult with your phy-
sician, we (iumot speak too highly
of the value of Rexali Vegetable
com pound for us^j In such rases.

Taming a Tigar.
“It Is nothing but kindness that
makes animal* really tame," said a
trainer. “Ail the terrible accidents
that used to occur so frequently to
trainers and tamers were due to the
fact that the animals had been cowed
and not woo by kindness. I renaeru
ber a savage Bengal tiger which was
sent to me from Calcutta some years
ago. When he arrived he was in a
state of fury and rage and for several
days would fly at me whenever 1 ap
proacbed his cage. I paid him a dally
visit, purring as 1 approached, which
was like speaking his own language,
and he gave up gradually his furious
greet tug. After n week 1 took a piece
of meat at each visit, for the way to
the heart Is through tbe stomach, and
tbat does not apply to tigers alone
At the end of four weeks I could touch
him, and three mouths later be had
quite realized tbat no one wanted to
'hurt him and used to come quietly to
tbe bars to be stroked each day.”

Sherman Ice Company
TO OUR CUSTOMERS:
With the return of JUNE we are reminded
of tho responsibility that rests upon ns in the
matter of rendering you a competent and reliable
service. In this regard, experience has taught
us that without the co-operation of our customers
we cannot hope to accomplish tile best results.
We believe that when you thoroughly understand
our relations to the trade and the conditions un-
der which we are laboring you will appreciate the
sincerity of our request for your co-operation.
We want to assure vou of our appreciation
of your patronage, and lu justice to you as wicfl
as ourselves, we ask that you not hesitate to
notify us of any discourtesy or inattention mi the
part, of our employees. The men employed by us
to deliver our product are under strict discipline,
and much depends upon their deportment which
Is carefully recorded by a merit system.
You should have FULL WEIGHT at all
times; tills we Insist upon. There is absolutely
no reason why you should not have what you pay
for, and this company will positively not tolerate
unscrupulous practices on the part of its employ,
ees. Our wagon salesmen are given a reasonable
allowance to cover any loss that may be experienc-
ed by "ineltage,’’ which is don© only to enable
them to give their customers FULL WEIGHT.
’ %*?
Kindly bear in mind that our drivers are
busy, or should be, trying to make schedule time;
and to facilitate their work we beg of you not to
delay them any longer than It is necessary while
serving you.
If tlie wagon should miss you, please don’t
wa^t until the late hours to notify the'office, for
we cannot promise deliveries after 10 o’clock in
the morning or after 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
A great many people, without analyzing the
situation, think a phone call for ice should be
met with reasonable promptness. If we should
have twenty calls for ice, which we often do, in
widely separate parts of town,, It will be readily
seen that promptness is Impossible. Besides such
lack of method would disorganize our salesmen
and multiply the,, confusion for us and our cus-
tomers. . In view of this, we are compelled to
cover the town in a systematic way, and It. would
be unreasonable to call off our drivers to make
special deliveries.
We do not mean that, we are going to be in-
different to your demands or ignore your special
orders. We are going to give our best attention
to all this, but your service will be poor if you
fail to take your ice from the wagon on the regu-
lar trip. If you take ice every day. your house
should never he missed. If you take ice Irregu-
larly you should post the driver as to your wants.
If it is an afternoon delivery you desire, It is then
best to phone your order to the office.
We purpose to supply our customers with
only the best quality of Ice that can be made,
and our men are particularly cautioned al>Out
taking out any hu£ the BEST IDE at alt times.
If houetvrr, yon should at any time get. a piece of
ice that is undesirable tn quality, and you will
phone to our office., we will be only too glad to
send out another piece and exchange with you. Of
course you should understand that any article of
manufacture will at times vary from its usual
standard, which is generally caused from the im-
proper working of the machinery, but wldch trou-
ble is 'soon remedied by proper adjustment.
It Is our policy to spare no pains or expense
Uist will tend to improve our service, but your
co-operation is most essential. In view of this, we
appeal to you to report to our office, either by
phone or in person, any complaint regarding ser-
vice or treatment that you may be receiving at
tlie hands of our employees, which we assure you
will receive our special attention.
Respectfully,
