OIL OR PAVING
ATLEMOYNE?
Question at Issue Between
Property Owners and Bor
ough Council
Lemojne, Pu„ April 23.—Regard
less of being favored by a majority
of the residents of Hummel avenuo
and Rostmoyne street and members
of the board of health, council re
fuses point blank to give any finan
cial assistance to placing oil on these
two streets in an effort to abate the
dust, which is becoming unbearable
on an afternoon with much auto
mobile traffic.
The Welfare I-eague of Lemoyne, j
represented by a committee went |
before council at its last meeting to
ask assistance and council in a ■
j much hurried vote, refused to assist
| in the oiling proposition, all agree- 1
ing that this would delay the pav- 1
ing of Hummel avenue. Dr. Edgar
S. Ev-erhart, chairman of the com
mittee from the League, will make a j
report of the conference with coun
cil at a meeting of the League in
the schoolbuilding to-night.
President Warren Fisliel, president
of Council, was asked his opinion of
oil and said that he does not favor
it inasmuch as it would not be per
manent. He said that if the resi-1
dents of Hummel avenue would pay'
for paving in front of their property:
less the eight feet of trolley track, '
council would at once proceed with j
the work.
James A. Pryor, a prominent
member of council and a resident of
Hummel avenue does not favor oil. j
He is of the same opinion as the
president regarding permanent pav- !
ing. He said so far as he knows
council would be glad 'to pave the
street on the plan of property hold-:
ers paying all.
Councilm;u George who
lives in the hpart of the dust nuisance
in Hummel avenue, said he favored i
oil as a temporary relief. He also'
favors paving.
The Welfare League to-night will t
start petitions in circulation on the j
two streets to ascertain how many'
residents will be willing to pay for 1
1 two applications of oil. A commit
j tee from the League will go before
I council with the petitions and ask,
I the borough fathers if they Will as
j sist the League by removing the I
j rough surface on the street.
The League will elect officers to- |
I night.

a whole lot better, atid they have j
helped me to sleep, as I was so very !
nervous. We both are getting on in 1
years, although my wife says she is !
not old. now since using Cadomene. !
and 1 believe it too. because she Is so j

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY—TRY THIS!
Say* glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out "poisons.
To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
j clearer and clearer, to wake up with
■ out a headache, backache, coated
I tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and dayout,
I just try inside-bathing every morn
ing for one week.
Before breakfast tach day, drink
a glass of real hot water with a tea
i spoonful of limestone phosphate in
; it as a harmless means of washing
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowela the previous day's indigest
ible waste, sour bile atjd toxins: thus
Cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
' putting more food Into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
j stone phosphate on an empty stojn-
I ach Is wonderfully invigorating. It
i cleans out all the sour fermenta
| Hons, gases and acidity and gives I
j one a splendid appetite for break-
I fast.
j A quarter pound of limestone j
! phosphate will cost very little at the
*ug store hut Is sufficient to demon
i strate that Just as soap and hot
] water cleanses, sweetens and fresh
ens the skin, so hot water and lime-
I stone phosphate act on the blood
and Internal organs. Those who are
, subject to constipation, bilious at
! tacks, acid stomach, rheumatic
I twinges, also those whoso skin Is sal
! low and complexion pallid, are as
sured that one week of Inside-bath
h ing will have them both looking and

By Associated Press ,
Cheng Tu, China, April 23.—Fierce
j lighting has broken out in the streets j
| here between the Sze Chuen and \
i Yunan troops. The outbreak is the
\ climax to the friction between the
j two parties which has steadily in
\ creased since the Yunnanese forces
entered Cheng Tu last April. The
direct cause of the outbreak was the
attempt of the military governor of
Sze Chuen, who is a Yunnanese, to
disband the provincial troops and
strengthen his grip on the province.
The hghting started on Wednesday
! night and continued all next day
I anu night. Many houses were burn-
I ed and trenches and barricades wore
| constructed by poth parties. The
| British, French and Japanese con-*
suls at much personal risk, have
succeeded in arranging an armistice
but the situation is still critical. All
foreigners are safe so far.
Cheng Tu is the capital of the pro
vince of Sze Chuen, which lies di-
Tectlv north of the province ot
Yunnan, in the southwest of China.
Cheng Tu is one of tne largest and
most important cities of China. Its
; population is estimated at 800,000
| and it is the seat of eight American
and British missions, with a person-
I nci ol 52 men and OS women.
