walk and parking and trees are not on
grade and the taxpayer will be help
less. His trees of many years growth
may have to come down and likewise
and water pipes. 1t is import
ant therefore that what is done now
in the way Of permanent improve
ments be done right and according
to established system. For instance,
both sides Of every street running in
each direction should be the same
height, and in street grading the cen
ter of the street should be the same
height as the level of the walk on
each side. In coming down a slope
or hill, a street, in intersecting a cross
street should conform not to the
natural or general slope in crossing.
All streets should be level, the drop
or grade being in the block or 300
feet between the streets. Improve
ments made on this basis will be per-
manent and if the streets shall ever
require paving the grade will not have
to be changed.
1t is the individual more than the
city that will suffer in the future from
mistakes made now We have a city
engineer VINO has the profile Of the
city and the established grades. Be-
fore another contract is let for side
walk or any other improvement the lot
owner and the city authorities should
see that no more mistakes be made.
The level Of each street intersection
should be given and lot lines estab.
lished before any further work is un-
dertaken. This haphazard n Of
doing things must end. The right
way is the only way. Let us insist on
more importance being attached to the
position of city engineer and secure
the services of that oficlal-if pos
sible.

Much That Every Woman
Desires to Know
About Sanatiye Antisep-
tic Cleansing
And About Curing Lucrative
Pains and Weaknesses.

Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Pills in the antiseptic cleans
ing of the mucous surfaces and of
the blood and circulating fluids, thus
affOrding pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening discharges, alterations, in
Examinations, itchings, irritations, relax
ations, displacements, pains and irregu-
larities peculiar to females. Hence the
Cuticura remedies have a wonderful
influence in restoring health, strength
and beauty to weary women, who
have been pr%ematurely aged and in
valided by these distressing ailments,
as well as such sympathetic Affections as
anamia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervous
ness and debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills the standard
skin cures and humOur remedies of the
civilized world.
Millions of the worlds best people
use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, for preserving, purifying
and identifying the skin, for cleansing
the scalp Of crusts, scales and dandruff,
and the stopping of falling hair, for
softening, whitening and soothing red,
rough and sore hands, in the form Of
baths for annoying irritations, infiam-
nations and Lucrative weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves, as
we'll az for al tho purposes Of the
toilet, bath and nursery.

A number Of insurance companies
have been licensed to write hail in
surance in this state-only a few re-
liable ones. Farmers should flag
around those companies that cannot
and do not advertise the fact in the
local state papers, through their regu-
lar agents, that they are duly author
lied to do business in North Dakota
And the press should take this matter
up and denounce all unlawful COM
panies.

THE MATTER or GRADES.

The permanent improvements now
under way in the city of Bismarck
in the way of stone walks, curbs, re
tanning walls, parking, tree planting,
laying of water and sewer pipes and
building adds special importance to
the position Of city engineer and the
matter Of grades and lot and building
lines. We are now laying the foun-
dation for a city. 1t should be done
right. Grades of streets have been
established. Some people do not seem
and are disregarding the established
grades in the construction of side
walks. AS sure as day follows night
errors of this nature will be paid for
dearly by the taxpayers some time
in the future. Tie taking off of a few
feet from the high places is necessary
in order to furnish dirt to fill in the
low places. All the citizens have
joint rights in the streets. Some peo-

abutting streets in certain blocks it
is for them to say whether they want
a cut made that will require the ex-
pense of a retaining wall or terrace.
or a fill that will leave the original lot
level below the street and necessitate
hliing. The corporation-the whole
city-has the right, and justly so, Of
deciding the matter of grades. If
it were not so cities as a rule would
Dor present a ludicrous appearance.
The sidewalk contractors in Bis
marok seem to be doing the best they
can under the circumstances: but it
is the city engineer and the establish
ed grades that must be followed-not
the contractor.
The four corners of sidewalks at
every Street intersection should be the
same height. Several streets have al.
rady been spoiled by not observing
this rule. There should be no more
of it. 1t is too serious a matter. In
a few years the corporation will say
