It was probably Louis, although ho credited Dorothy with it when asked about it. tVhy rot take the baby out of its crib and give it a bath in the tub, as they had seen mother do po often? It was a brilliant thought. So Louis went and fetched the baby and took it to the lathroom. The tub was full of water and clothes, for Mrs. Stone had been wash ing there the night before, and had not finished soaking the clothes. They Fet toe baby in the water, which was about . foot deep. The baby gasped, gurgled and was still. It did not appear to enter into the spirit of the game at all. I.cinli Grans Alarmed. Louis had never seen the baby so oiiict before when its mother bathed it. lie could not quite make out just what was wrong, but a vague foreboding Ittat he had done something he ought jiot to came over him.

The first move In the line of ridding the service of these men was taken recently when three were dismissed. Mr. Dieck says more dismissals of the same kind are to follow. Under the system of selecting labor ers Commissioner iDeck says the Wa ter Bureau and the Street-Cleaning Bureau examine and select their own men. For the sewer and street main tenance divisions, however, the exam ination is given by the Civil Service Board, the officials of the Public Works Department having no hand in the se lection. "As a result of the system we have found ourselves burdened with a lot of political derelicts." said Commis sioner Dieck yesterday. "We have a hard time getting rid of them.

' TAXICAB USED BY PAUPER Ride Is Taken to Associated Charities to Ask lor Transportation. Secretary V. R. Manning, of the As sociated Charities, yesterday had an experience with poverty de luxe, when a destitute woman sent back to Port land by the County Commissioners at Aberdeen. Wash., boarded a taxicab at the Union Depot and told the driver to take her to the Associated Chari ties and charge the bill to them. When she reached the office she modestly- suggested that the Charities should not only pay the taxi bill, but also furnish her with a ticket to Cairo, 111., and was deeply offended when it was decided to be not feasible for the Charities to do so. 'ported that employes who have joined the civil service union as organized in the Water Bureau have been discrimi nated against. Members of the Council deny that this is so. The civil service union was organ ized some time ago to take in me chanics and laborers in the Water Bu reau. It is said the venture was made ii the Water Bureau because it was known that Commissioner Daly, who has charge of the Water Bureau, is a labor union man. When a sufficient number of members were enrolled, the organization got a charter from the American Federation of I.abor. As yet the organization differs from trades unions In that no provision is made for strikes or for the regulation of wages. It is virtually in the form of a mutual benefit organisation, but it has the full backing of the Ameri can Federation and the Central 1-aDot Council. Officers have been elected and the organization has a delegate in the Central Labor Council. Gradually the organization has grown strong in the Water Bureau, in spite of reports that members have been dis criminated against by officials of the Bureau. It was on the strength of these reports that the Labor Council asked the City Council for an expres sion of its attitude. The policy of the Council as outlined by Commissioners Dalv and Brewster is one of sympathy for the labor organizations. It is said in the communication in respect to the Council's policy that the labor unions are to be treated the same as religious or fraternal organizations. With this assurance from the Coun cil it is expected the Civil Service Union will blossom out into all branches of the city service. The purposes are for mutual betterment and mutual protec tion. The union has attorneys to rep resent employes in cases before the Civil Service Board and in the courts and the members of the union stand "IIZ" FOR TIRED E FEE1 i s u n "TTZ" for Puffed-Up, Burning, Aching, Calloused Feet and Corns.

Dentists that hide behind a company name and adver tise gold crowns and bridgework for $3.50 per tooth, such as these dental companies do, are nothing but fakers. They will not and can not make gold crowns for $3.50. When the excellence of my materials and master work manship is considei-ed, all dentists are agreed that my work costs far less than the cheap dentists ask, while this same work equals the very best, however high the price you pay. All Work Guaranteed 13 Years My offer is for you to go to any dental office and get prices. Then come to me and I will show you how you save a dollar and I make a dollar on your dental work.
