We enter the regular storm period. central

To Hold Up Gloucester Street Paving

Ii was given out this morning that the
paving OF Gloucester street with vItrihed
brick would be held up for some time
owing to failure to sign the contract and
other technicalities involved. The resi-
dents of the street when voting for street
improvements voted to have Gloucester
street paved in asphalt block. The joint
commission OF the City Council and I'm
provement Commission found out that
this could not be done with the funds in
hand after all other street paving had
been completed and the "extras" thrown
in and the result was the decision on the
paving in vitrified brick. The residents,
sick at heart with having a mud hole or
a dust heap as a street bed in front OF
their premises, decided any old street
paving would do, and even this is about
to be denied them until, perhaps. after a
session OF the next Legislature, and an
increase of appropriation. What effect
this will have upon the fall election in
that ward remains to be seen. But the
people are not to be trified with in this
way.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days. when,
as somebody has said. men drop by the
sunstroke, as il the Day OF Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-

interest of the less robust OF our readers,
that the full effect OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
IS such as to suggest the propriety OF call
ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonic, say, sustain
ing diet. 1t makes it much easier to bear
the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
