THE PROPOSED CITY BOND ISSUE.
Business Men and Tax Payers Against the
Pronoaitinn.

Proposition,
A representative of the New Mexican,
in his rounds about town, has been
gathering a few opinions of ~well-known
business men as to the proposed issue
of city bonds for Improvements"
Said Hon. H. B. Cartwright, ex-coun-
ty treasurer: There is no sense in 1t.
The city should pay it's old debts before
s%houldering new ones. l a to see a
specific statement of the improvements
to be made with the money before l
would favor a new issue Of bonds
Jacob Weltmer: II am against 1t, es-
pecially If it is true that the present Of
f1cials have been receiving and spending
money without properly accounting for
1t. No public-spirited citizen would be
against improvements If they were GER
tain the money would be spent honest
ly, but ever when the city had money
in the treasury it was squandered."
Abe Gold: "It is an outrage. The city
should get rid of it's old Indebtedness
first"
j. 8. Candelario: 1.-The taxpayers
should be allowed to vote on the ques-
ton, but it Is too late now as the bonds
have been issued"
F. s. Davis: Taxpayers have all on
their shoulders that they can stand at
present. Still, If the taxpayers could
| only be sure that the money would
really be expended for needed improve
ments, they might say, Let her go
Gallagher"
Mai. Fred Muller: IAN injunction
| should be issued, to restrain the city
| from selling the bonds. The burdens Of
the taxpayers are almost more than
they can bear at present. In fact, I am
In favor Of disincorporating the city, as
for the enormous city taxes paid now
the citizens do not get a nickel's worth
in return"
8. G. Kaadt: II would be In favor of
the issue If I were in the deal. I know
something about the inside Of the
posed to t."
Charles Wagner: TITS a shame. With
the people that have been in charge OF
the city government for years, the
many cases it Is impossible for people
to pay their taxes as it is. and the mar
who pays the bill should be allowed tc
vote on this bond question. Specifica.

1t Is proposed to do with the money
and If the people should vote in favor
of 1t the money should be placed In the
hands of a man like Major Palen. who
stolen"
D. 8. Lowitzki: II am against the
bond issue. The city people pay more
than enough taxes now. I'll neve agair
vote in favor Of a bond issue in Santa
Fe."
Maj. r. J. Palen: 1.-The proper steps
have not been taken. The bonds were
not issued according t. law. The tax.
payers should be allowed to vote on any
further increase of debt. The city will
not be able to dispose Of the bonds. Blu
as it Is, the county and city are already
burdened with almost a million dollar
debt, and the property holders Of thu
city are held responsible for almost {
third of it. Increasing this debt seem!
therefore very unwise."

Let There He LIGHT.

Light and sunshine are good medi-
cines. They not only help to cure, but
they assist in preventing. 1t is strange,
therefore, that SO many in the world
should be content to do without either.
We have windows and doors in our
houses, but there are many OF us who
keep both closed as much as possible.
The sunshine fades the carpets and the
open windows let in dust which spoils
the furniture. That Is what sons
careful housewives say. There may
be something in this, but not much.
3 faded carpet is much more desirable
than faded cheek, and dust is not the
worst thing that comes to US. Why.
the preachers tell US we are made OF
dust, and to that condition we are sure
to return. So why be afraid Of 1t? It
can be swept out and brushed out But
there is only one way to get air. into
the house and that is by not being
afraid of the dust or Of the sun. We
pity with all our hearts, the tenement
house dwelling whose rooms open into
sunless shafts. And yet there are
many Of US who make our homes as
nearly like those ill-ventilated tene-
ments as possible. We have open
spaces on, each side. The sun can
touch our windows In the morning
and In the evening, but we shut 1t out
20 a. to look fresh and keep clean. No

and in nine cases out OF ten the trouble
is quite easily removed. The very
latest cure, and quite the simplest one
to follow. is to wash the face with
parsley water, says recent authority.
It is done in this way: Take half a.
pint of rain water and soak in 1t
large bunch of parsley, letting 1t re-
main In the water all night. In the
morning rub the face we'll with dry
towel, then dip your sponge in the
parsley water, and pass it over your
face. allowing it to dry on. Do this
three times daily. and at the end of
two weeks If you have persevered in
the simple treatment, you will be re-
warded to see that there are no more
spots or roughness on your face. Many
of the high-priced complexion nos
trums contain this simple remedy,
which is as inexpensive as it is effect

Tho AGO Of "sintterns..

Did you ever stop to think, asks an
English magazine, what a luxury good,
pure complexion soap is? 1t is one
of the blessings of modern advance
ment, and one Of the privileges, and,
we may say, attachments of civiliza-
ton. Even in the last century great
step has been taken in regard to clean
illness, and women have found out that
pure soap and water, and the free en-
ployment of them. have proved the
greatest aids to beauty. In the days
when powdered hair and the accom-
paniment of patches and powder, it
can only be imagined what strenuous
efforts our Observation-Disclosures
must have made in order to obtain
absolute cleanliness in the face of
fashion. A writer with whom we are
all familiar once termed the beauties
of his time ''slatterns." This we be-
lieve to be libel. and we are inclined
to pronounce that gentleman unwor-
thy the name of gentleman. since
probably out Of spite because he was
not held up to alteration by those very
"slatterns," who were, of course, the
bellies. as he thought he deserved. But

OF today is far and away ahead OF
her Observation-Disclosures because
OF her healthful exercise, her out-of-
door life. and--her free use of. not
cosmetics, but good complexion soap

gion of the heart. The enormous diff
ference between the use Of the right
and the left hand in our present civ
ilization has this very simple origin.
Ir the first place, the superiority of
the right over the left hand was only
brought into evidence during a COM
bat, but it soon spread and became
universal. Since the introduction of
lethal weapons, the right hand be-
came naturally accustomed to the
manipulation of the lance, the sword
and the knife, and the nerves of the
right side soon became more flexible
and more under the control of the will
than the muscles of the left side.
