The summer time is the golden oppor-
tunity for the girl troubled with pimples
and comedones The torrid heat offers an
efficacious substitute for the Turkish or
Russian bath. The healthy streams of
Precipitation with which Dame Nature
strives to eradicate these facial blemishes
should never be damned by the opposing
powder rag. Rather encourage the very
friendly drop which adds its tiny share in
promoting the health and purity of the
complexion. am reminded here of a young
girl who has happily been cured OF some
very disfguring pimples of the chronic
type which physicians had prescribed for
in vain. One intolerably hot day she tried
to catch a nap in the attic, where the tenn
perature eQualed the hot room Of the Turk
ish baths.
A member of the family called her to
come down to cooler quarters.
''Oh, no. mamma" she replied. this Is
part Of the cure! I am told that I must
perspire. and she resoiuteiy turned deaf
ear to all expostulation. When last seen
that girl had q complexion without blem-

ner according to the official
grade lines made by this gentle
man under the direction of Capt.
Bushnell. Our object is to
make model block of it so that
it may serve as an educator to
the other abutting property
owners of the city. It is need
less to say,that as long as the
material with which a sidewalk
is curbed endures, it will need
practically no further work
upon it. In our Judgment we
have adopted the proper man.
ner of handling the sidewalk
question. We have some diff
Guilty at times in persuading the
abuttlng property owner to full
fill the requirements of the Com
mittee, but we hope to arouse
such general enthusiasm. and
interest in our work that the
people, seeing the wisdom OF
our course and the reasonable
ness Of our demands, will gladly
cooperate with us in our street
work. In case any abutting
property owner should decline
20 properly grade and curb his
sidewalk, it will be our duty to
avail ourselves Of the prOvis-
ions Of Chapter XVIII Of the
laws and ordinances Of the city
of Tallahassee. Thus we will
state in this connection that it
is essential, if Our. street work
is to have the permanency here
inbefore described, that the
sidewalks should be curbed as
the work progresses. Wooden
curbing can be used at a rela-
lively small expense by each
abutting property owner, and
will last about ten years if first
class, all heart, lumber is used.
We have no intention of dis
turbing any curbing Of a per
manent character that has al
ready been put in. even though
it should not conform to official
grade lines. While the reform
regarding sidewalks, suggested
by US, may appear to some
members Of the Council as be-
ing somewhat radical, we think
that upon a careful cOnsidera-
ton of the subject they will con
clude that it is proper. If
it be true reformation should
be accomplished at some time,
when, may We ask, is it to take
place, if not now? If each Conn
Gil throws the responsibility
upon It's successor, when will
the work be done? We are Of
the opinion that now is as good
a time as any for the reform
movement to be ihaugurated.
We will go further and say that
it is prominently the proper
time, nov that5the capital IS to
remain here for all time and to
be greatly enlarged{ now that
our railroad facilities are to be
increased and increased in emi-
grafton invited within our Dor
ders. We certainly ought to be
able to show TO all those, who
desire to cast their lot among
us, streets and sidewalks well
adapted to travel of all kinds.
Therefore. believing it to be
to the best interests Of the peO-
pie Of Tallahassee, I'VE hereby
recommend that Mr.. j. w.
Bushnell be appointed city en-
] gineer, provided his service can
be secured at a salary which the
city is able to pay. -:
