proven himself to be one of the stars in

We Are In Il.

Col. W. p. Brownlow has kindly
sent The Comet copy of House Bill
No. 1913, introduced by Mr.. Gillett
Of New York, "To increase the limit
of cost of certain public buildings. to
authorize the purchase of sites for pub
lie buildings, to authorize the erection
and completion of public buildings,
and for other purposes
BY the provisions of this bill num-
Der of public buildings are to be erect
ed in several states.
johnson City is to get postoflice to
cost $4,000, Knoxville gets new
building to cost $500, 1000, Columbia a
postoffice to cost $4,000, Paris one to
cost 1000, and Murfreesboro one to
cost 500, 900.
Section II provides that each site
selected under the provisions of the
act shall contain not less than $4,000
square feet Of ground space, and shall
be bounded upon at least two sides by
streets unless otherwise specifically
provided.
Section 10 provides "that all build
ings authorized to be constructed, en-
larged, or extended under the provi-
sions of this act shall be unexposed to
danger from fire by an open space of
at least 40 feet on each side including
streets and alleys. Provided, that in
exceptional cases and for good cause
shown, the secretary of the treasury
may, in his discretion, reduce the open
space to less than 40 feet and to any
dimensions which he shall deem suffi-
cient to afford fire protection.
This bill was introduced February
IA, referred to the committee on public
buildings and grounds and ordered to
be printed
There will scarcely be time before
congress adjourns for the bill to be-
come law, Hutchinson City is thank
full to be mentioned in the list of
towns deserving buildings. A year
or two ago, Col. Brownlow tried to get
us building by special bill and now
he puts us in the omnibus measure.
If this firing keeps up we may finally
get hit.

Care OF the Hair and Nerves.

By Madam j. De Canter.
The right way to brush the hair is
to grasp the brush firmly with the right
hand and the hair loosely with the left
hand and brush with slow, gliding
motion-everY strand being brushed
up, down, right and left in semicircles
from the forehead to the center of the
head.
The diet has much to do with the
condition of the hair. Vegetables and
cereals are hair tonics. Too much
meat and milk cause atrophy Of the
roots. OF course, the hair comes out
as o result of this condition.
The nerve bath is a secret fad of
beauty doctors. 1t is, they say, just
the right thing to remove the wrinkles
caused in the lady Of fashion by too
much gaiety and in her poorer sister
by the vulgar everyday round of toll.
There are three stages in the nerve
cure. In the first cup Of tea has its
part. The tea is made from the chest
green" and into the cup Is put slice
of lemon and few drops of whiskey.
The tea must be very hot The cur
is held near the face, SO that the steam
is felt by the "patient," who slowly
sips and breathes the tea, making itE
consumption last half an hour. Dur
ing the slipping of the tea the clothing
is loosened and every muscle of the
body is relaxed as far as possible. Thu
next stage is to relax the muscles of thu
face from basin Of boiling water t.
which has been added tablespoonful
of tincture of benzoln and little vic
let water. The skin is made wet till
is quite soaked and almost steamed
This is to relax the muscles and to pre-
pare the way for massaging with Gu
cumber cream. The proceedings en-

Abutting Property and Street Improve
fnenfs

T1e chamber of commerce of Knox
vile will, it is stated, present law to
the legislature for passage compelling
property owners abutting public streets
to pay proportionate part of the ex-
pense for the Improvement of the same
"a law the Chattanooga Times has
been advocating since 1890, when this
city first issued bonds for public i'm
provements. The absence of such a law
from the statute books has seriously
handicapped the cities of the state in
the work of improving their streets
The supreme court has held, it is said,
that such law would be unconstitu-
tional, but we believe that under the
opinion SO holding law could be
framed at least partially covering the
point that would be good.
The Georgia law on the subject is
that the city pays one-third and the
AUDITING property owners on each side
of the street pay the other two-thirds Of
the cost of improvinfi such street, and
as result the cities of Georgia boast
of well-paved streets. 1t is possible
the supreme court, in view of the great
detriment to our urban communities
such holding as that formerly record
ed is, would take different view of it
the best public policy now demanding
that the property owners be made Il
bear part of the expense of improve
ments of which they will be direc
and personal bene6ciaries. At an!
rate, the experiment is we'll worth tn
trial and Chattanooga will assist Knox
willie in every way possible to secur
the passage of the proposed law. =
