InfaIIibIe Insomnia Cure.

Two distinguished Berlin physicians,
Profs. Emil Fischer and Won Meriug,
have discovered what they regard as
an infallible cure for insomnia. They
call it %veronal. 1t has been used with
remarkable results, it is said, in a
large Berlin hospital by Prof. Lillen-
field, who expresses the firm convic-
ton that no other medicine to pro-
duce sleep approaches veronal in GER
tainty and intensity. He administered
$50 doses to 60 patients of both X
and various ages. Each morning after
the dose the patient was fresh and felt
as if the sleep had been wholly MAJ
ural. In all of the experimental cases
the heart and lungs performed their
functions with the utmost eXactitude.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1903.

City officials were greatly pleased
with the new artesian:wells at Runyon
when they visited that place Tuesday.
lhey are reported to have discussed
the idea of driving enough wells to
furnish the city with nothing but
arteslan water.
Such a move would be decidedly
popular with every citizen who is
dependent upon the city for his supply
of water. The muddy slush which
sometimes flows from the faucets is
not only not fit to drink, but it is use
less for washing purposes. The health
of a city is of the greatest Importance.
The water supply very often has a
great deal to do with this and too
much care cannot be given to guard
against an epidemic. Pure water
comes before street improvements or
any other municipal necessity. Money
spent in driving wells, so as to elm
mate the dirty, unhealthy pond water
in the city's supply, will be spent to
the very best interests of the tax pay
ers. No one will object to such an
expenditure; all will rejoice. Let us
have the wells before many months

Ammonia and Chalk

To remove marks on lavatory basins
caused by water dripping from the taps
nothing is better than powdered chalk
mixed with a little liquid ammonia. An
old tooth brush is an excellent thing with
which to apply it. Rub till the marks dis
appear, and then well rinse.

Of a great many officials is that they
