BRITAIN DAILY HERALD., MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1918. Bl's opmmfiiénn Commis- sion, Expressed Today. 14 3 Why a whole-time plumbing inspec- tor should be employed at a salary of /$1,200 is argued today by the health | ‘commission in a comunication sent to | | each member of the common council. | The matter will come up at the meet- ing of ‘the council Wednesaay evening. The arguments follow: *We would like to éexplain to you personally our reason for recommend- ing a whole-time plumber at a salary increase of but $400, viz: $800 to | $1,200, which matter was tabled until | the next council meeting. | “It has been stated that as hereto- fore one man acted as building and plumbing inspector, and now there are two part-time men doing this “ork,1 that they should be able to do it well. | To this we would answer that it is . well recognized by thetwo trades that during the aforementioned period the work was undoubtedly inspected by the building and plumbing inspector as well as any one man could do such combined work, but that the inspec- tion of plumbing by other than a practical plumber was necessarily not what 'is understood by. the’ plumbing. .irade as a plumbing inspection. Old Plumbing-Needs Attention. “The health department can state without hesitancy that plumbing work | has been. well inspected .since it has | been under. our jurisdiction. However, we find that in addition to inspection of new work there 1s so much old plumbing in need of inspection by a practical plumber that even with a man giving his whole time we could hope to accomplish but a part of such needed work. “Again the inspection of sewer con- ‘nections from the street, line to the house has been put upon the plumb- ing inspector. This 1inspection’ is much néeded in the interest of all | property owners, but it w:il consume | a large part of the time iof a part- time man, because it is necessary that the inspector be present us often as the joints are ready to be covered over. This inspection 1s quite dis- tinct from that of the general sewer inspection. “Therefore, in order to really do the work of plumbing inspection as laid down In our ordinance recently passed by’ the council. it is imperative that | one man give his whole time, other- wise the office becomes a farce no ployee may be. “An.additional $400 to the present salary would secure whole time ser- | vices which means so much to a de- | partment having in mind efficiency | and results. 3 “We should be pleasedito have you imspect the records of ghig office.” Plainville Auto Service Express.

PATRICK” A0 1 St;ic Chaplain Delivers Eicquent Address in This City. “st. Patrick” was the topic of an address last evening at St. Mary's church by Rev. Edward A. Flannery, state chaplain of the A. O. H, un- der the auspices of Rev. W. A, Harty branch of this city. Father Flannery was eloguent on the subject and dem- onstrated his thorough knowledge of Ireland and theé part it has played in the development of civilization. Father Flannery was greeted with a flattering atetndance. Among the au- dience were members of the Rev. W. A. Harty branch, the Holy Name so- ciety, Knights of Columbus, Y. M. T. A. & B. society and other ~“organiza- tions. The lecture was preceded by the Benediction of the Blessed Sacra- ment. In part Father Flannery said: Place of Birth in Doubt. “Though authorities not to be despised assert that Patrick opened his eyes at birth in onedand or an- other, the fact is that the exact spot canot he told without fear of contra- diction. This indefiniteness of his ap- pearance on the stage of existence.is nct without its lesson, since it teaches that worth depends uopn character rather than upon pride of descent. The capture of the lad and his detention in Erin as a slave might have seemed to he a misfortune but this was his in- and the people through whom he was to work such mighty things for God. ““So_far as history records Irgland is the only country that accepted the gospel without blodshed and without violence. As a reward God has pros- pered that faith *by infusing a vigor Which resisted the violénce to which other faiths succumbed. “This people holds a unique place in history since even national iden- tity was relinquished in testimony to belief. The whole island population, believing that faith alone was the barrier to independence, loving their land with an affection verging ‘on adoration, as one voice refused to barter belief even for national inde- pendence. .This gives the land a pe- culiar place in the annals of history. Others have given much in sacrifice to belief, but when the burden rested on nationality, there has been hesita- tion and reluctance Religion must treat national prepossessions with dis- creet ‘consideration. But Ireland is the noble exception. She left all things, like the apostles, to follow the Master. One may disagree with her while admiring that sublime self-immolatioin, where clinging to an deal she pursued the lght over rough ways and smooth.” ' Native eggs 27c doz. —advt, Russell Bros. daily.

The business man, especially, needs food in the morning that will not over- load the stomach, but give mental or for the day. Much depends on the start a man gets each day as to how he may ex- pect to accomplish the work on hand. He can't be alert with a heavy, fried-meat-and-potatoes breakfast, rc- quiring a lot of vital enmergy in di- gesting it. A Calif. business man found a food combination for producing energy. He writes: . “For years I was unable to find a breakfast food that had nutrition enough to sustain a business man without overloading his stomach, causing indigestion and kindred ail- ments. “Being a very busy and also a very nervous man, I had about decided to give up breakfast altogether. Bnt luckily I was induced to try Grape- Nuts. “Since that morning I have been a new man; can work without tiring, my head is clear and my nerves strong { and quiet “I find that Grape-Nuts, with a lit- ! tle sugar and a small quantity of cold milk, makes a delicious morning meal, which invigorates me for the day's business.” & Name Given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
