INSTRUMENTATION

Fifty years ago Dr Humphreys
placed his specifics on The market and
they have ben sold continuously ever
since. DR.. Humphreys did not offer
his specifics to the people until they
had been proven for many years IN
his private practice with uniform sat
isfaction and success.
When we think of the many medi-
cines that have been offered to the
public in the last, half century, and
the expensive advertising which may
have created large sales for them, we
can easily understand that only those
having real merit have survived the
test of time
Among these DR. Humphreys spe.
cities stand pre-eminent They have
had. and are having. more and more
followers each year

Tn view Of the city'a present llnan

ton to talk about establishing mu,
nicipal lighting plant. Even We're the
city able to build a properly equipped
plant. it is very doubtful whether IL
would be wise thing to do. Under
all the circumstances Of the present
situation 1t would seem that the coun.
Gil ought to make contract with the
company now furnishing the lights
that win give the city as much all
night service as its present revenues
win enable it to obtain. The city
needs light and plenty Of it and the
members of the council should dc.
termine as soon as possible how much
to spend for the purpose.
The communication presents very
forcIbly some matters which should
and will. no doubt, receive fair con
sideration by the city council. Preiu.
dice and personal feeling should not
be allowed any place In the determine
tion of this question II Is simple

1t is the grave cases of a physician that

If a man loses all his money he also
manages to lose nearly all his enemies.
1t is no harm for a man to think a
woman is older than she says, provided he
doesn't think out loud.
A rich man wears old clothes because
he can afford to and poor man wears
fine clothes because he can't.
Excelsior may be all right as a motto.
hut as a material for the construction of
ballet girls-well, that's different.
1t is a wise woman who can refrain
from reminding her husband of the fool
things he said during courtship.
If a man doesn't marry a woman be-
cause she is pretty or because she has
money, it is a pretty sure sign that he's
in love with her.
of course, no man is good enough for a
girl at the age Of seventeen, but at the
age of twenty-seven any old man with
money will do.
Once there was a man who acquired
lot of money because he never told lie
and was perfectly honest. He got rich
