Electric Lighting Company Makes a
Startling Proposition.
is UP TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Month. Lighting Matter Most I'M
portant Question Ever Before
City, and 1t Should be
Solved Right

l.
mrnicatiOn was received from
the Electric Light and Power
company asking for an renewal
Of their contract, and stating
that the company has been fur
nishing SO cstreet lights to the
city at $412 month, and making
a proposition to the city that for
and in consideration ola fifteen
year extension Of their lighting
contract that they would fur
nish the same number of lights
at $3.50 month. In addition to
this they agree to give the city
the right 20 purchase the plant
at any time.
After considerable dickering
on the proposition, in which it
was evident that nearly a major
ity of the council were agreeable
to accommodating the Lighting
Company, the matter was re-
ferred to a special committee
composed of T. A. Oscar, O. A.
LamOreauX and Andrew Nelson
with instructions to communi-
cate with other cities and to as
certain what they receive their
lighting for.
If this committee does their
full duty-and The TINES be-
lieves they will, they will un-
doubtedly demonstrate to the
city council that the taxpayers
of Washburn can be saved more
than S1.44 a month On eachOf the
thirty-six lights, which is what
the Lighting Company agrees to
cut their rate. At the rate the
company has been paid they
have received about $11.44 a
month for each of the street
lights, while the proposition is
to cut the rate to $40 a month.
By their own proposition the
company admit that they have
been getting pretty good thing
out of the city, and they evidently
believe they can shave their bill
fifty-two dollars a month or 1924
a year and still make living"
THE TIMES believes that the
proposition now before the
council is one of the most i'm
portant matters that has come
before that body since it's organ
ization, and is one that requires
that the council remain firm and
do their full duty. The com
mittee, when they pursue their
inquiries, will undoubtedly find
that in many cities like Wash
burn, that electric lights are
furnished for street lighting
at from Sc to s. a month each
at least that is what we believe
they will find. They will find
that in the city of Glenwood.
where the secretary Of the home
lighting plant, is building a sys-
tenn, that he has agreed and con-
tracted to furnish the small
number of four arc lights, which
is sufficient to light the city,
from twilight each evening un-
til midnight and from $50 in the
morning until daylight at the
rate of S. a month each, or TWEEN

IT'S FOOD
That Restores and Makes Health Pos
 aible.

There are stomach specialists as well as eye and ear and other specialists.
 One of these told young lady of New Brunswick, N. J., to quit medicines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says:
 For about twelve months I suffered severely with gastritis. I was unable to retain much of anything on my stomach, and consequently was com pelled to give up my occupation. I took quantities of medicine, and had an idea 1 was dieting, but I continued to suffer, and soon lost fifteen pounds in weight was depressed in spirits and lost in terest in everything generally. My mind was so affected that it was im- possible to become interested in even the lightest reading matter.
 After suffering for months decided to go to a stomach specialist. He put me on Grape-Nuts and my health began to improve immediately. It was the keynote of new life. found that I had been eating too much starchy food which I did not digest, and that the cereals which had tried had been too heavy. I soon proved that it is not the quantity of food that one eats, but the quality.
 Tn few weeks I was able to go back to my old business of doing cler- teal work. I have continued to eat Grape-Nuts for both the morning and evening meal. I wake in the morning with a clear mind and feel rested. I regained my lost weight in a short time. I am we'll and happy again and owe tito Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.

D the Citadel of Hope.
 For all care and suffering {; for all the hours of toil, the mother is repaid in the love of the beautiful young life she has purtured and cared for.
 Are all mothers wise mothers? .'''-'-,sase.
 Do they take the twilight hours and draw out the con6- dence of the growing girl!
 Do they warn her. study her, and instruct her?
 Do they try to find the cause of the sudden gusts of temper, the headaches, and the hours of fear that are a part of the life of a growing girl?
 Mothers should do these things, and where they find dis ease, or lack of development. they should seek the proper remedy.
