Cement Crossing Question.

We noticed an article in the Sioux
Falls Press a few days ago with
reference to the Investigation of
cement crossings. The city council
over there has been discussing the
a~dsisability OF laying their street
crossings in cement and the COM
mittee was instructed to look up the
matter. The Sioux Falls council need
not spend very much time IN looking
up the question, for the cement cross
ings are an absolute success. Several
years ago Mitchell's council made
the experiment of the cement crossing
and since then nothing has gone into
crossing material but cement, and no
less than % or 30 have been put in
since then. The crossings today
show but little if any wear on them
and if the 6irt is always kept well
up on the crossing they will last a
lifetime. In a number of cases the
stone crossings have been taken up
an cement substituted. From the
experience that Mitchell has had
with the cement crossings Sioux
Falls al take our word for it and
put in the crossings. but they must
be LAID by an experienced person.

Take Care of the Stomach.

The man or woman whose digestion
is perfect and whose stomach per
forms its every function is never
sick. Kodol cleanses, purifes and
sweetens the stomach and cures posi-
lively and permanently all stomach
troubles, Indigestion and dyspepsia.
1t is the wonderful reconstructiye
tonic that is making so many sick
people well and weak people strong
by conveying to their bodies all OF
the nourishment lin the food they
eat. Rev. J. 81. Holiday, OF
Holiday, Miss, writes: Kodol has
cured me. I consider it the best
remedy I ever used for dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. I was given up by
physicians. Kodol saved my life.
Take it after meals. L. o. Gale.
