WILL MAKE VAST IMPROVEMENT
Barber Company Advised That Work

When the Street Was Paved, But
Speoifoa Called for Asphalt Next
to the RaiIs-ResuIt is Noticeable.

The city is figuring with the Barber
Asphalt Paving Company for the fur
Their improving of North Third street.
where the first asphalt paving was laid
last year, by taking up Il strip of the
paving one foot on either side of the
street car rails. and re-laying 1T with
avenue The Barber people advised
this before the paving contract was
let. knowing that the street would
never be satisfactory as long as the
car line was operated. The paving
company went according to specitica
tons. however and the result is mani
fest--the asphalt breaking because OF
the jar of the cars. 1t is thought that
the track has settled as much now as
1t ever will, and that the brick will rem
edy the difficulty. even tho the ties
have no concrete under them. The
company is willing to sacrifice a little
in making the street one that 1t viii

showing him what the cost for the
Improvement will be. The company
will do the work for 500 per 100 feet,
which will amount to about $3.50 for thu
entire street. The actual cost of the
work is $3215 per hundred feet, but
Mr.. Grayson says that the company
would sacrifice this amount rather
than have the street remain us
it is II the work is done the payment
will come out OF the general fund. and

THEY LAUGHED.
Now They All LAUGH.

"To think of scientific food helping
me out Of trouble seemed ridiculous"
said st. Louis woman.
| Il used to read the published state
ments about Grape-Nuts in a cynical,
way, hardly believing they We're true.
One day neighbor who was calling
while l was lying down as usual (and
feeling terribly said I believe you eat
entirely too much rich food and es-
pecially too much meat. I wish you
would change your diet and use Grape
Nuts l laughed heartily and said I
see you have been reading the news
papers too. Yes she replied, and |
have become convert, for my hus-
band, who, you know. is busy in the
Office all day, and whose nervous sys-
tenn was ali run down, has got we'll and
hearty by giving up the hearty meat
breakfast, and living on a diet of cook
ed fruit, Grape-N and cream, and
Postum Food Coffee for breakfast. He
is new man and has not been near
physician for two months.
Il did not wonder that she was en-
thusiastic. so / began that evening to
use Grape-Nuts, eating nothing else
for my o'clock supper l felt entirely
satisfied and rested better that night
than l had for months.
The family all laughed at me, but
the next morning / ate my Grape Nuts
and cream, some stewed fruit and a
cup of Postum Food Coffee. That day
felt amiable with myself and the
whole world at large. and my feelings
were so good and comfortable that
concluded to keep on with my new
food
After about two weeks of this kind
of diet my family began to see the
change in me. l had lost my nervous,
cross, irritable manner, and could sleep
all night soundly. My face was round
and my complexion was quite clear,
with a tinge of rosy color in my cheeks.
In about a month I had gained about
ten pounds, and my family all became
converts to Grape Nuts, which we have
nov used for some time. We are all
in perfect health and my grocery bill
is nothing like as large as 1t used to
be.

The negotiations that are now pend
ing. looking toward erection of new
building on the old fremont SITE give
promise of maturing. and 1t is likely
that within the next few months a sub
stantial structure Will stand on the
ruins of the old-time hotel. The great
hole in the center of the business dis
trict has been an eye sore now Tor
more than year. and 1t Is time action
should he taken to improve the prop
ertv. Those who are back OF the pro-
iect consider that the investment VIII
be a paving one, and it doubtless Will
be. The improvement will be one that
will be generally hailed with delight.
Those who have wished for hotel to

The question as to VINO IS president of

ed among the members of the councli,
and without investigating there was
Immediately adversely of opinion. Inc
question arose when one member con-
sidered that the mayor was no longer
a member of the council, and hadn I
been since April /. Naturally, not be-
ing a member Of the council. and the
council forming the board OF health,
ii was thought that possibly the board
had been acting without president,
and that Mayor Jones was not a mem
her. Such is not the case. however
and Mayor Jones is a member or the
board of health, tho he is not on the
council. He is it's chairman ex-off1cio
and the board has no. illegalized Its
actions since April because of the lack
of a president The code clearly states
that the board Of health is formed by
the mayor and city council.
Mayor Jones appointment of Mrs.
Nellie Reid-C ady as a member OF the
public library board. to succeed Mrs.
F.. w. Hargrave, resigned, will meet
with general approval. Mrs Cady has
been deeply interested in library work
for several years, and was one of the
first as member of the Wemen's Club,
where the old Marshall County Library
idea first originated, to encourage the
work. While she has never been con-
nected with the boards of either the
old or the new libraries, she will make
member who will take a great deal OF
interest in the general welfare OF the
institution, and will be able to devote
her time to library affairs. Her ability
is unuuestioned, and 1T is doubtful If
Mayor Jones could have made wiser
selection.

The action of the city in making an
example out of a plumber. who took the
liberty of fnaking a sewer connection
without a permit, is one that should
cause moro care to be taken in the
future. There is no doubt but that
oftentimes in the hurry to finish work,
plumbers grow careless and make con-
nections that are faulty. The work of
making them so that there is absolutely
no leakage IS important. Sanitary
Engineer Charles Francis. of Daven-
port. who recently visited the city more
particularly to investigate the plumb
ing of the school buildings, but con-
ditions in general a. the same time,
reported that but little attention had
been paid to satisfactory plumbing in
most cases. In his report he will rec
ommend the adoption and rigid en-
forcement of a plumbing ordinance that
will be of some effect. When H.
cense or two are revoked and plumb
ers are placed under a ban that VIII
prevent them from doing any more
work in the city, those who are en-
gagged in the business will become
more careful to see that their employees
do work properly
