WATER AS A MEDICINE.

The human body is constantly I'M
dergoing tissue change WORKOUT
particles are cast aside and eliminated
from the system while the new are
ever being formed, from the inception
of life to it's close Water has the
power of increasing these tissue
changes, which multiply the waste
products, but at the same time they
are renewed by its agency, giving rise
to increased appetite, which, in turn,
provides fresh nutriment.
Persons but little accustomed to
drink water are liable to have the
waste products formed faster than
they are removed. Any obstruction to
the free working of natural laws at
once produces disease, which, if once
firmly seated, requires both time and
money to cure.
People accustomed to rise in the
morning weak ard languid will find
the cause in the imperfect secretion of
wastes, which many times may be
remedied Sy drinking a full tumbler
of water before retiring This very
materially assists in the process during
the night, and leaves tissues fresh and
strong, and ready for the active work
of the day.
Hot water is one of the best RENE
dial agents. A hot bath on going to
bed, even in the hot nights of summer,
is better reliever of insomnia than
many drugs Inflated parts will sub
side under the continued poulticing of
real hot water Very hot water, as
we all know, is a prompt checker of
bleeding, and besides, if it is clean, as
it should be, it aids in sterilizing our
wounds. A riotous stomach will
nearly always gratefully receive a
glass or more of hot water.

New FIGURING Mil Project.

H. c. Johnson appeared before the
council and spoke in the interests of
a communication from himself, j. h.
Like and David Sears, asking for
permission to locate certain side
tracks on First avenue between
Tenth and Eleventh streets. The
gentlemen named propose the cree
ton of a Touring mill to cost $50, 900,
they having secured the option on
ground at the place stated. Unless
the rights for tracks there can also
be secured, they would not erect the
building here at all. If they erect
the proposed mill, an additional
mill for oatmeal will undoubtedly be
built later. and the chances are also
good for the erection of grain ele-
vator in the same locality. The mat
ter was properly referred with in
structions to report at tomorrow
nights meeting of the city council.

HE WILL FORECLOSE.
j. Q. Oswald to Resume the Own
ership of ''Bryn Mawr" on
a Mortgage.
Messrs. Anderson and Douglas
Conclude to Give Up Trying
to Garry the Property.

The property owned by the syndicate,
and situated in the residence district
known as "Bryn Mawr," will be fore
closed this week under mortgage held
by John c. Oswald. The property in
question was purchased from Mr.. Os-
valid by Messrs. Anderson and Douglas
and some Eastern capitalists in 1887, the
consideration being S481, 900, and there
remains due on the mortgage the sum
of 1864, 1880, together with six months
interest. The ground was formerly oc-
cupied by Mr.. Oswald, and was known
as his farm, having been bought at an
early day for small sum.
Since its purchase by the syndicate, 1t
has been greatly improved, and is now
one of the most desirable residence dis
tricts in the city. The purchasers have
expended large sums of money IN laying
out streets, putting III sewers ana Oh
landscape work, until it now presents a
charming appearance, and in prosper
Gus times it would be greatly sought
after by the well-todo classes.
r. j. Anderson, one of the owners,
was seen by GLOBE reporter last
night, and regarding the matter he
said:
I'VE expect the mortgage will be
foreclosed this week, but the greater
portion of it will De redeemed. We
have carried it five years and through
the prevailing depressed times, and we
do not feel warranted in carrying it any
longer We have not lost faith in the
property, and when anything moves we

There were eight or ten passengers in

the porter was about half drunk and we
were ready to go TO bed, they advised
me to watch him, as he would probably
try to get even by some underhand
method. 1 laughed it off and said l

the porter was doing in seat in the
corner l fixed up a dummy to take my
lower berth, and l got into a vacant
upper on the other side of the car. The
next morning about 6 o'clock l was
aroused by some one calling for the
porter, but no porter answered.
