Is it not possible for the city or tl-.e Metropolitan Water district to deliver ice at actual cost to residents of neighborhoods whjefe the people are most in need of this kind of service? The city maintained a coal depart ment on that basis for two years ana undersold the local retail deal crs. c r ,t . oome oi me retail icemen arc now buying their ice at the Mu nicipal plant and at private ice man ufacturing plants for $5 per ton and are peddling it out for $12 per ton.

One traveling "jitney" sta'.ion Will be used at first. It will have a capa city of three tons of ice. The plan is to haul 4his station to a location in the morning and have it cover possibly three locations in one day remaining four hours in each loca tion. If the experiment proves to be a success, Mr. Howell believes it may be possible to modify the ar rangement so that a traveling sta tion might cover four locations in a day.

Mrs. Annie Johnson, of this place, writes: "I well remember I suffered for a long time with constipa tion, which would get me down. 1 took doctors' medicines and any number of purgatives. They would leave me in a worse condition than I was before taking, and my stomach so upset . . . I know once I suffered . . . from constipation, I was so IU we had to have the doctor, just so nervous and feverish. The doctor said I would have to quit medicines, my stomach was so bad . . . My husband was reading and found something about Thedford's Black Draught and brought me a package to try. I used it regularly at first until! be gan to feel better, then 1 used just a dose occasionally. I was cured of this con stipation and am sure the Black-Draught didit." , .

"I believe that the water board should estab lish f these ice stations """gen erally where the poor people live, or else should establish a de livery system. I am sure rhey could and should establish more ice sta tions, so that people of modest in comes would be able to walk to these places and carry their ice home. . "It seem to me that the estab lishment of a wagon or truck de livery service by the municipal ice plant would be a fine thing. De liver the ice at actual cost in the same manner that Commissioner Butler delivered coal last winter. It is a matter of public health and it is a matter which should be heed ed in all seriousness." Reed Will Head Drive v To Canvass City for Money for Boy Scouts W. E. Reed, president of the Board of Education, has accepted the appointment of chairman of the Eoy Scout finance compaign com mittee and hs organized his forces for an intensive canvass of the en tire city next week ; The city has been divided into blocks, in each of which a promi nent business man, who is also a .member of the Rotary club, will act is captain. At a designated hour the entire force will begin work and every business house in the city will be given an opportunity to con tribute to the Scout campaign fund. It is expected that the fund of $27,000 will be raised within a few hours after the real drive starts The $7,000 raised by the .Rotary clul) Wednesday noon gives the fund a fine start. Every business man in the city who uses newspaper space has been asked to run one line of type in his advertisements calling attention to the Scout campaign and urging its support. The Scouts are arranging to give some rather spectacular demonstra tions next week in various places showing what their training enables them to do in cases of emergency. Accounts of Former Clerk of Municipal Court Show Shortage A partial check of the accounts of George E. Bertrand. former clerk of the muncipal court, shows a short age which may amount to more than $1,000 "We are not ready to state that this is. an actual shortage of money not accounted for," said Mr. Ure. "There are many instances of docu ments filed and for which there does not seem to have been fees collected. The accounts were kept in a very haphazard manner. It may prove to be a case of gross carelessness on the part of Mr- Bertrand." Mr. Bertrand's bond of $10,000 is still in force. He was clerk of the municipal court from the time the court was established more than two year ago, until VV. B. Whitehorn took charge last winter.
