Excessive Rope Jumping.

There are good many cases on record of
children dying suddenly from heart disease,
brought on by the over-exertion superinduced
by excessive rope jumping. 1t may be very
good exercise in a moderate way for the little
girls, but when INDUCED in too much brings
on dangerous results. Parents should attend
to the matter, as this is the season when it is
carried on to a great excess.

poleon are prospering and II is by curtailingV
expense that such prosperity is noted. Ire
iterate that our citizens in all classes are on
the road to success financially. and until that
success is reached We should not contract for
any needless expense"
"But don't you believe that the advent of
vaterworks would give employment to Ia
borers who are now idle p
"Only in a very small measure. Should
the vote result In favor of the project, prob
ably few Of our lRborers would receive
Sl.25 per day for several months in laying
pipe-that is our diggers would receive such
employment, for the remainder of the work
would be done at the city wherein the shops
are that have the contract for furnishing
the material. This proposition is incontro-
vertible, and considering it from an unbiased
standpoint, how much do you suppose that
the small amount keceived by these few
diggers would benefit Napoleon in general =?
l would be much more in favor of public and
private financial aid in inducing manufac-
tories to locate here and thus bring laborers
/ instead of driving them away, which increas
ed rents, occasioned by high taxes, will do.
l am no enemy to enterprise. but enterprise
out OF place is deleterious and all wrong"
From a sanitary standpoint what are your
objections ?''
Considering our poor water facilities for
this project" was the reply, sit would be
hurtful to the health of the town. We could
not use the river water for domestic use.
neither could we use the gravel pit water
which has a graveyard in close proximity:
and surely it is within the understanding of
all intelligent citizens that our artesian wells
have been fiat failure. Now, where are we
to procure our water supply? If from eth
er of the first two sources it will not be
OF healthful nature, while the third is prac-
tically impossible. Filtering the river water
is talked of, but no flterer that was ever
made was perfect or successful, and their
utility in many places has been denied by
practical demonstration. As understand it.,
Toledo tried the filtering process. The re-
suit is, she has abandoned it and Is now
pumping muddy and impure Maumee water
over the city for the consumption of its hu-
manity. And Defiance water is not fit for
even bathing purposes!
mo, our town is moving alongsmoothly
and all classes are enjoying prosperity not
to be jeapordized by hazzarding such an un-
certain venture of this kind"
