STREETS Uttered FROM
POORLY BUILT WAGON BOXES

A great evil, and one that should be
remedied, is that of transfers allow
ing the contents of their wagons to
fall upon the streets, covering them
with all kinds of loose material. Es-
pecially was this noticeable on Seven
teenth street this morning. Small
sized limestone was allowed to fall on
the streets for distance of several
blocks.
The result is that vehicles must
crush this rock on the brick pave
ment, and in so doing destroy and in
iure the brick. This negligence on
the part of teamsters is meXcusable-
1t is enough that the streets gather
the dirt that naturally accumulates,
and it is enough to take care of this,
which is not always done, but it taxes
the patience of the people to see heed
less teamsters driving along with the
loads, and instead of depositing them
where they belong, scattering the ma
terial of the load along the streets in
defiance of all considerations of or
der and of the law. The nuisance is
one that should be stopped.

The Rich Mans Generosity.

During the year 1902 the gifts and
requests made public amounted to
more than $S5 100000. This is an
enormous amount and is certainly
high tribute to American liberalitN.
The highest tribute paid to any mcdi-
cine is accorded to the famous Hos
letters Stomach BitterS by prOmi-
nent doctors throughout the country.
They have prescribed it in cases of
heartburn, belching, flatulency. nau-
sea. sick headache, Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation and biiousness,
and know that it cures. 1t would
therefore seem advisable for you to
give it a fair trial. 1t will surely do
YOU good The Bitters is also an eN-
cellent tonic. blood purifier and invig-
orator for delicate women, the weak
est stomach being able to retain it.
BE sure to try it. For sale by all
druggists.

Very Like Reason.

The crows and other birds that carry
shellfish high in the air and then let
them drop upon the rocks to break the
shell show something very like reason
or a knowledge of the relation of cause
and effect Froude tells of some spe-
cies of bird that he saw I'm South At
RIGA flying amid the swarm of migrat-
ing locusts and clipping off the wings
of the insects so that they would drop
to the earth. where the birds could de-
your them at their leisure. Our squir-
rels will cut off the chestnut burs be-
fore they have opened, allowing them
to fall to the ground. where. as they
seem to know, the burs soon dry open.
Feed a Gagged coon soiled food-a piece
of bread or meat rolled on the ground
and before he eats it he will put it in
his dish OF water and wash 1t off,

SACRED HEART SOCIAL
Is WELL ATTENDED

and 1,4O0 people partook of the re-

Investments
IN

Such investments are not specula-
tive. The south is not a new coun-
try. Market and shipping facilities
are adequate and first class. The eli
mate is mild and favorable. Notwith-
standing these and other advantages,
southern lands are selling for prices
far below their real value and at pres
ent prices net large returns on the in
vestment. For free set of circulars

Norwegian Cure For Drunkenness.

Norwegian Cure For Drunkenness.
In Norway drunkenness is punished
by Imprisonment. AS soon as man is
incarcerated the delinquent has loaf
and wine morning and evening. The
bread is served in a wooden bowl full
of wine. in which it has been soaking
for an hour. The first day the drunkard
swallows his allowance willingly
enough. The second day it seems less
pleasing. At the end of eight or ten
days prisoners have been known to alb
stain altogether from the food thus pit
ilessly presented. This course of treat
ment finished. the drunkard, except in
rare instances. is radically cured.
