 The city council and waterfalls triet committee are having trouble with the sand in the artesian well; but we hope that all obstacles will soon be overcome and the water will flow freely. The men who have the matter in charge are not made of the material to give up and we feel confident that success will eventually crown their efforts. Persistent and intclligentIy direct ed work will accomplish wonders.
 No man CT woman can work well, men tally or physically, nor perform effective ser vice of any kind who is burdened with tor. pid liver. Constipation and deficient secre- ton of bile have clogged up the organs of the body so that they cannot keep up the energy to the proper standard, hence, weari ness, headaches, depression, fckle appetite result. All this can be changed with few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters. It cleanses the system thoroughly, hushes the cxcretory canals, drives out impurities, imparts new life to the vital organs and re-establishng healthy functional activity, which brings with it energy. strength, vigor of body and and brain and cheerful spirits.
