Some people say they cannot d.
gest milk and these are the people
who drink 1t down quickly so that the
digestive acids, in playing around 1t,
form large curds which give trouble
before they can be absorbed.
The right way is to sip the milk In
small amounts, so that each mouthful
as IL descends into the stomach is
surrounded by the gastric fluid, and
when the whole glassful is down the
effect is that Of spongy mass Of
curds, In and out Of which the keen
gastric juices course, speedily doing
their work OF turning the curd into
lpeptones that the tissues can take up.
To make sure OF complete digestion
take one or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets afterwards, as the pepsin and
diastase they contain increase the
quantity and efficiency OF the gastric
juices and supply the natural diges-

brought upon himself destroyed his

difference whether he did his duty or

stand for such brutal treatment of

it will soon find it out. The prison

Attorney Taylor had bolted once and

GET GOOD MATERIAL.

A short time ago the councilmanic
and aldermanic boards selected Gales.
burg, Ill, brick for the street paving
that is to be done here, and last night
they selected Evansville brick, o
cheaper and inferior article. These
boards decided a few days ago while
considering the matter that the city
was able to paw the difference in price
between the Gslesburg and Evansville
brick. and last night, judging from
their action, they decided that 1t was
not. The Galesburg brick and Evans
VILE brick, together with other brick,
were subjected to the same test, and
Galesburg brick was first, while Eg-
ansville brick came fifth. The boards
last night thus selected material
much inferior to what was procurab'e,
and it would be interesting to know
why this was done.
There seems to be . strong public
sentiment that while the streets are
being paved, the material used should
be the best. This is due the taxpay-
ers as we'll as the property owners.
The city is able to pay the difference
in the cost Of the brick, and should do
it, The argument that the difference
IN quality and durability do not jus
tify the difference in cost, Is q conten-
tioa that cannot be substantiated, be-
cause no one in the boards 10 able to
determine the relstive difference.
The Evansville brick stood compare
lively poor test, and its price is co n
siderably below that Of the Galespurg
and other brick, hence 1t is reasonable
to suppose that it is not as good brick
as the other, and il it is not Paducah
should refuse to use it.
The boards have dawdled along with
this paved street contract long enough.
The public is Disguised at the display
of inoompetency. They have opened
bids four times for the streets and
sidewalks, and 1t is time to do some
thing. Get good brick or none at all.
| The result of putting in inferior
brick can now be seen along that p0r-
tion Of Broadway that has been paved.
Many of the bricks are Clipped Off and
broken. The people are footing the
bill in this street improvement and
want good material and good work.

for shooting q law.abiding citizen

but it was not premshitated, and was
the act of young and inexperienced,

that they were in danger OF injury or
capture. Still, they deserved hsnging
under the law.
A few days ago two men of Breath
