DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL news
Public Meeting at the Fire Hall
Insures Success of Water
System.
Petitions Nearly Signed and
But a Few More Sigma
lures Are Needed.

It looks at last as though Dulnth
HEIGHTS was going to have modern
water plant. At public meeting helo
last Friday evening which was attend
ed by a large number of citizens al
most the required guarantee was rals-
ed for the immediate construction OF
the plant. w. P. Pennel was elected
chairman of the meeting, and Mr.. >. y.
Walker acted as secretary.
No sooner was the melting organized
when the citizens got down to ousl-
ness. w, E. McEwen made an extend
ed speech in which he explained the
proposition in detail. Every point was
carefully considered and when he had
taken his seat he was asked number
of questions.
Question after question was fired at
him, and when the meeting flnal1y ao-
journed the petitions were opened Tor
signatures, and every eligible person IN
the hall signed them without hes1ta-
ton. After all had signed it was FOUND
that but one-half Of the people on the
Heights were represented and four
fifths Of the guarantee had been Sc
cured.
This happy fact gave the promoters
OF the water system renewed courage.
Those who did not attend the meeting
will be visited this week, and every
effort will be made to induce a fuli
representation on the petitions.
In conversation with the manager
of the water and light department 1t
was learned that if Duluth Heights
had it's petition filed in due time there
would be no delay in beginning work.
This is indeed pleasing information
and will be thoroughly appreciated by
the citizens who had all along been
skeptical on the water question. After
all, there is nothing that viii succeed
like success, and nothing will bring
success like push, energy and deter
mined will. Here goes for water. Are
you with us?

There has been good deal of friction
in this shop, and, while criticising the
Timers union for errors of the head,
It must not be forgotten that this
trouble is the elimination of a num-
Der of grievances of long standing.
In reading this let it be understood
that the Labor World has nothing but
friendship for the Timers union. It's
criticism is given in the kindliest spir-
it with the hope that in the future it
will be as right in tactics as it is in
the contention that caused this strike.

nor is there any alcohol in it, Its vir-

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases:

All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to act as a tonic, aiding

those results are indirect and uncertain

A cure is always doubtful when drugs

medicine never cures.
LiquOzone alone can destroy the
cause of these troubles. 1t goes wher-
ever the blood goes, so that no germ

With the Chinese palmistTy is
branch of an ancient art which in
cludes physiognomy, phrenofogy, and
general inspection of the human body.
It's origin has been assigned to prehis-
toric times-the third millennium be-
fore Christ
The object of this art is twofold-
TO ascertain the mental and moral
characteristics of persons, and TO fore
tell happiness or misfortune, success or
failure. disease and death. An instance
is given of a young woman of the tenth
century A. d. who had no brothers
and was obliged to perform some of-the
mourning ceremonies before the inn
age of her dead father. While thus oc-
cupied she was observed by visitor
who had come to condole. Il did not
see her face he said. but when she
grasped the incense burner 1 noticed
that her hands gave promise Of a high
position" Later on this visitor mar
ried the young woman, and rose TO be
n minister of state.
Restricting the inquiry to palmistry
only. an attempt will be made to show
what the Chinese people have to say on
the subject which has been much to
the front of late years, and especially
i'm the last few weeks. One writer
says:
The presence of lines in the hand
may be compared with the grain of
N"Du. II the bidAtl o. MOOu Is -DeduIl-
full that wood becomes known as ex-
cellent material: and if the lines i'm the
hand are beautiful that hand is OBJ
viously well constituted. Therefore,
a hand cannot have lines on it, those
which have lines being of a higher or
der than those which have none. Fine
and deem lines mean success. coarse
and shallow lines mean failure. OF
the three lines on the palm, the upper
most answers to heaven: il connotes
sovereign or father, and determines
station in life. The middle line an
swers to man; it ConnoteS wisdom or
folly. and determines poverty or
wealth. The lowest line answers TO
earth; it cOnnotes subject or mother.
and determines length of days II
