The most miserable beings in
the world are those suffering

these two diseases and their eff

Sick Headache, Habitual Cos

Heart burn, Water brash, Gnaw-

A Garbage Cart.

This town needs the services
of some man whose duty will be
to haul the garbage out of the
town. AS it is, people have NO
means of getting rid of the re-
fuse from their kitchens, and the
result is that there is an accu.
mutation of offensive matter in
the yards and in the streets. A
man who owns a horse and a
cart could be engaged to do this
work. When not occupied in the
removal of garbage, he could be
employed in repairing the
streets. The cutters should not
be used as dumping place for
the offal of the town. A council
man, who has done excellent
work as a member of the street
com mittee, expressed himself as
being very much in favor of en-
ploying man to haul the gar
bage and to keep the streets in
a clearly condition. One day in
each week could be occupied in
doing the hauling. A dumping
ground would have to be selected
for that purpose. To facilitate
the work of the garbage cart it
would be well to have the people
gather the refuse from their
yards and place it in the street
from where it can be easily
taken. The Gazette hopes that
the Council will give its attention
to this matter.

APPROPRIATION
Made by City Council to
Better Equip the Fire
Department.

AS may be seen in the pro-
ceedings of the City Council,
! published in this paper, that
body has appropriated $500 to
better equip the fire department.
of the town. The improvements
are to be made along the lines
suggested by Mr.. F. v. Mouton
in the following address to the
Council Mr.. Mouton, who was
spokesman for the joint COM
mittee appointed by the three
fire companies, said:
Your Honor and Gentlemen
of the City Council have the
honor to appear before you this
evening as the representative of
the fire department of Lafayette
to request an appropriation for
the purchase of more new equip
ments for the fire department..
On account of the growth of our
city it has become necessity to
increase the means of fighting
fire. With this end in view the
three fire companies appointed
three mittees composed of
the following citizens: DR.. 6. A.

plans were discussed and an
agreement reached by which the
present Hook and Ladder Com
pany will become a hose com
pany and a new hook and ladder
company formed from contin-
gents of firemen from Home
Fire Company and Fire Com
pany No. 1, bringing the ladders
in a more central and thickly
settled part of the town. In
order to effect these changes
and bring about this necessary
and important increase in the
fire department and after re-
ducing the cost to the strictest
lines of economy consistent with
the good of the service, we will
need and respectfully request of
you an appropriation of $3.50.
This amount is to be placed in
the hands of one or committee
of your Council for it's proper
disbursement.
1.-THE history of our fire de-
partment should receive the
highest commentator from
every citizen of Lafayette. On
two notable occasions, the Ross
Lumber Yard fire and the
Veazey Stable fire, the prompt
and splendid service of the fire
boys averted serious calamities.
We want to keep up the record.
Eve want to prepare and equip
ourselves to meet any emer-
gency. We can not do 80 with
out your help. We hope, there
fore, that you will make the ap-
preparation we request and
thereby secure for Lafayette the

and threatening showers. but the light
rains that have occurred were confin-

are showing the effects of the lack OF
moisture. AS a rule irrigation water
is still sufficient, and as conse.

COST OF LIVING.

The captains OF industry employ far
too much of their time in dealing with
wage problems. They should find other
ways to help content the working
classes. Let them look to the cost of
living. Instead of giving the people
who work for wages or salaries the
full benefits of prosperity, business
systems are Immediately adjusted to
take away the major portion of the
gains that come from increased wages
and steady employment. in the form
OF excessive prices for the necessaries
of life. For some years this country
has been highly prosperous-more
prosperous than ever before in its his
tory. Everything is abundant. Crops
have been bountlful Business con-
Germs have been running full capacity.
In all lines of enterprise there have
been n high degree OF success.
Why, under such conditions, should
the price of meats, coal, ice, vegeta.
bies, grain. hour and hundreds of other
articles OF necessity be higher than
normal? Simpiy because of the deter
minatlon OF the grabbers 10 get all
they can OF the peoples increased
earnings. This problem Is not one OF
labor unions merely-not one OF wages
only. IL concerns everyone who is EN-
ployed, whether a member OF union
or not.
