Gentlemen OF the council: i will not worry
you with any very extended remarks have "a
few words to say concerning the workings OF the
council during the past year. In the hrst place
desire to state that one year ago. we owed the
Citze MS Savings Bank something over $1,000
we also owed the Owcsso and Corunua Electric
Light Company $500. and Andrew Geek some
thing over son, and $4,000 the appropriation for
the T. o. site had been spent making total In
debtedness OF something over $2i ,oo0 and ] am
pleased to say the same has all been paid and
we have credit in the Citizens Savings Back
to-day OF something over t2i 900 While the
sum OF forty thousand dollars seems to be
about the normal amount Of taxes that has TO
be raised each year IL was thought ADVISABLE
TO raise this additional amount in order to wipe
out the floating debtedness and thus save pay
ing Interest While the tax this year may see m
excessive, the money has not been wasted and
stands to our credit, and by raising one.fourth
OF the amount raised last year the city will have
a, much money to run the city on as this coun
Gil had and will greatly reduce the rate OF taxa

THIN PEOPLE,

Thin, scrawny, fieshless people are
usually nervous. irritable, bilious and
dyspeptic. Every change of weather
effects them. If they happen to eat
or drink anything containing disease
germs. 1t develops at once, and they
are the first subjects of any con-
tagious disease coming in the neigh
borhood. Their life Is continual
worry in their efforts to avoid ex-
posture to danny and malarious atmos-
phere. People can gain from l to
8 pounds of solid, healthy flesh per
week by the use Of DR.. Gums Blood
and Nerve Tonic. 1t puts their sys-
tenn in condition to resist sickness.
This Tonic is in tablet form, to be
taken right after meals. Sold by all
druggists for Use per box or three
boxes for 50. 1t turns the food you
eat into strong, rich blood. This pre-
vents and cures disease. People tell
us who have used the Tonic that it
cures them, then keeps them from
getting sick afterward.
