Dump Deficit is Between 800 and
5000.

The board of health has given up hope
of pulling itself out of the city dump
hole it went into several months ago.
when it expended between $500 and $500
in repairs, after the council was given
to understand that no further repairs
would be attempted.
The board will come out between 800
and 5000 shy on the transaction, though
they have maintained throughout the
controversy that they would put money
in the city's pocket before the deal was
ended. They have been charging 5 cents
a load from haulers for the privilege Of
dumping refuse by means of the city
cable dump. DR.. Judd still maintains
that the board would have come out
ahead If the men who We're hauling re-
fuse and garbage had stuck to their
work As it is, the dump has been
obliged to stand idle a good share of the
time.
The old worn out cable used on the
dump will be taken down and the shed
and other apparatus will be sold for
whatever it will bring. No dumping
will be done after Saturday.

monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains trus to-day
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc

The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta

A dignifed representative of the
Presbyterian church in the person of
Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to
state publicly that he has used Peruna
in his family and found it cured when
other remedies failed. In this state
ment the Rev. Smith is supported by an
elder in his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-.

Having used Peruna in my family

Treatment of Obexitv

In his work entitled ode Fettsucht"
(Obesity) DIR. Won Noorden shows how
obesity may be prevented by the regu-
lation of diet and exercise. He states
that the thin man requires more food
than the fat man, not only because in
MIN the skin surface, and therefore the
loss OF heat is greater in proportion to
tne mass, but because the cells of his
oooy, untrammeled by the deposition
of fat, expands more energy. In esti.
mating corpulency the question of race
is of Importance. The Mecklenburo
merchant is naturally of stouter habit
than Celt or Latin. Won Noorden,s
cure of corpulency depends on two fac
tors-i. e., reduction of diet and in
crease of exercise. Reducing the
amount of liquid taken, just as separat-
ing the times of eating and drinking
reduces fat by lessening appetite:

Among them was Gen. Joe Wheeler. Next
to him was a woman wearing a macintosh,
who rose to get off at Fourteenth and f
streets. Gen. Wheeler noticed an umbrel-
la leaning against the car seat
He grabbed the umbrella, ran after tho
woman, caught her at the door and said:
"Pard9n me. madam, but you left your UNI
The woman looked puzzled, but took the
umbrella. Gen. Wheeler resumed his, seat.
Then a woman on the other side of him
gave little scream and said: ''Why. you
nasty little man, you gave that woman my
umbrella" Then she appealed to the con-
ductor.
Gen. Wheeler apologized, but the woman
said: Now you just get right off the car
and get it for me or TIL notify the police"
Meekly the veteran of three wars
tumbled off into the rain and ran after the
woman. with the macintosh. He made a
hurried explanation, got the umbrella and
rushed back to the waiting car.
AS he handed it back to it's owner he said:
