Hon. John r.. Roche. director of pub
lie works. delivered short address
before the West Side board of trade
last night on the subject of street I'm
piovcments. public parks and sewers,
outlining what is needed along that
line. The board also took action rela-
tive to the water question and the
granting of street railway franchises.
and adopted resolutions touching on
the ordinances now before councils.
In his address. Mr.. Roche said the
subject of street improvements is Il
difficult matter to solve. as the streets
of the city are in such condition that
in almost every section. the practical
rebuilding of them is absolutely neces-
sary. There is nothing like "A sufficient
sum appropriated by councils to keep
them in the proper condition and of
the l42 miles of streets in the city.
only s14l.44 per mile are appropriated
annually to keep them in repair.
The streets are all worn out and
cannot be KEEP, in condition by any
such sum. yet something must be done
to improve the condition. Merchants
suffer in consequence. and cannot have
any pride in the city when the streets
are not properly paved and graded.
Every merchant uses the streets for
one purpose or another. and all ought
to take an interest in the question of
bonding the city to raise money for
carrying on the work.
The question of sewers is also an inn
poriant one. for If the streets are not
properly drained it Is impossible to
keep them III condition. The idea that
the present sewers are too small is not
properly understood. The fault lies in
he fact that the districts that are not
severed. overtaX the capacity of the
districts that are already severed. and
in this way render it impossible for the
present sewers tn properly merit the
requirements 1t is cheaper. Mr.
Roche believes. To build sewers than to
pay damages arising from overtaXed
sewers.

Break in a Gas Main.

Excitement was caused on Cedar ave-
nue. yesterday between Beech and
Maple streets owing to a strong odor
of gas caused by the breaking of Il
large main pipe. AS soon as the leak
was discovered II force of men were put
at work TO locate the defective pipe and
they We're still employed at a late hour
last evening.
Excavations in the neighborhoOd for
sewers are supposed to be responsible
for the damage in having weakened
the supporting soil under the main.
Some precautions had to be taken after
dark and no lights We're allowed in the
vicinity. The smell of gas was SO
strong for a time that relays of work.
men We're kept on the scene in case
any of those employed in digging up
the broken pipe should be overcome

May Hold a Conference.

The rivalry which exists between the
two premier singing societies on this
side is not in any way responsible for
the fact that each decided to hold the
'Besceeerung. or Christmas tree
drawing and festival, on the same
date this year. 1t is merely a coinc-
dence. due to the fact that both soce-
ties met within twenty-four hours of
each other and neither one knew The
date agreed upon by the other.
Now that the Saengerrune and the
MaennerchOr societies have learned
the fact through these columns. i; is
quite likely that the committees will
come together to arrive at IL satslac-
tory understanding, as there is no
wish on the part of the members to
clash by having the entertainments
on the same night. Dec. 80. and within
a block of each other.

THE FEAR OF nUMBuG
Prevents Many People from Trying a
Good Medicine.

stomach troubles arc so common and
IN most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to he a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness In never being hun,-
bugged. especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far. so far In fact. that
many people suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk little
time and money in faithfully testing
the claims made of a preparation so re-
liable and universally used az Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
srect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
Il secret patent medicine. no secret Ia
made of their ingredients. although
they are sold by all druggists under
protection of trademark. but analysis
shows them to contain the natural d.
gestive ferments. pure aseptic pepsin
hydrastis and nuX. They are not ca
thartic. neither do they act powerfully
on any organ but they cure indges-
tion on the common sense plan of d.
gesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore it has time to ferment. sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food. That is all
there is to 1t. Food not digested or
half digested is poison. as it creates
gas. acidity. headaches palptation of
the heart loss of flesh and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
