STOP IMPROVING.

A Member OF the Board Of Public
Improvements States That That
Is tie Decision of the Board for
Oae Year.
The board Of public Improvements
met yesterday afternoon, and trans
acted little business of routine sort.
Last evening a member of the board
stated TO PALLADIUM reporter that
the board had deci led to economic
the city finances in the most rigid man
ner for the coming year. He said;
The greatest expense in connection
with our city ia in the public improve
ments it makes, in the way of new
streets and sewers. OF these the city
has always to pay the liens share and
that Is the cause of our greatest
expenditure of the city's money. The
board has there fore decided not to
build any new streets or new sewers
for one year, and by that time the
ci'y's finances will have so far recup-
Grated as to warrant the making of
such improvements whenever they
shall be deemf d strictly necessary"

that has been threatened by other
boards and it is hoped that the back
bone of council viii be sufficient to
support the board in its determination
TO stop the biggest leak in the city
treasury until there shall have accum
ulated sufficient amount to put the
balance on the other side of the sheet
and stop the necessity of semi annual
loans.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
the board received and approved the
report and final estimate Of the work
done by John Schneider, in improving
north d street from fifteenth to six
teenth. The total cost of the improve
ment was 1896.
The report and final estimate of the
same for the improvement of the alley
between fifteenth and sixteenth streets
from north c to north E was also APP
proved and adopted. The total cost
Of that improvement was 1854 60.
The engineer presented a communi
cation regarding the request of Jose pn
Teller and others on north sixth street
for drainage, and stated that the only
thing that could be done was to put in
q storm sewer on north sixth from
Main to A, or to raise the gutter on

Fix deeply in mind the grand truth
that life power rules the body, and thai
il alone can cure disease.
Life power lives on air, water and
food only; all else is hurtful.
Make cleanliness your motto, and
watch against filth in both house and
grounds.
Few starve for food, but many for air.
Breathe deeply hundred times daily.
Wear no tight clothing. Above all, VEN
tilate your sleeping-room.
Beware of gluttony. If the appetite
is dull, eat fruit only, or eat nothing.
Use no fiery condiments, but live chief
ly on natural grains, vegetables and
fruits. Never ask your stomach to
chew your food-employ your teeth.
Adorn your table not only with viands,
but with flowers and smiles and kindly
words.
Deformity is not awkwardness only,
but danger. A high chest will give free
dom to breathing and digestion, and
help to cure many diseases.
Spend part of each day in muscular
work, part in study, and part in good
deeds to men.-N. y. Ledger.
