hundreds Of people do not know that

the recognition of people the world
over. He has scrap book with hur-
dreds of clippings from papers in all
parts of the world. One of his most
remarkable cures was that reported

He told her she had a lizard, told her
what to eat. and in two DAYS the liz.
ard was out.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

The people of Paducah should not
forget the important vote to be taken
at the November election on the bond
question. The proposition is for the
city of Paducah to issue 5000, 900
worth Of bonds and invest $3.50. 900 in
modern streets. $4,000 in . new city
hospital, and $25, 900 in o new market
house. There should be no objection
to the issue. Other cities issue bonds
very often to the limit, and profit bX
il.
With money enough to permanently
improve the most important Of our
streets the city would not only DO
made more attractive and healthy, but
the large amounts Of money that are
spent every year dumping gravel on
them, and spreading it with shovels,
ostensibly only for the purpose Of tnd.
ing market for worthless gravel and
giving o lot of fellows something to
do, would be saved. At present from
e16, 900 to $4,000 year is thus
spent on the streets and the streets
never seem to improve or even give
satisfaction. II they are paved OF
made of asphalt, there will be no fur
ther excuse to repair them with the
material now used, and used on them
for several years past.
The present market house is Q very
ridiculous looking object to those not
used to it. II is oveTrun with rats, IL
unhealthy and too small. A modern
building would greatly improve the
oity's appearance, would contribute to
the comfort of the people and enhance
the value Of property in that vicinity,
which would also be the case il the
streets were paved. The interest on
the money spent for these improve
msnts could be paid by the increased
assessment on property resulting from
the increase of property in value.
This class of streets enhance the value
OF any ones property in addition to
greatly beneHting the entire city.
the need Of new city hospital does
not require elaboration. The building
now called city hospital is SO pitia.
