1t is regretable matter that
there should be at the present
time disposition on the part
of some people to carry their
personal and political pre]udices
into the affairs of the city. The
installing of the public improve.
ments now under way has been
an impulse to the further growth
and development of the city, and
on all sides can be found evi-
dences of prosperous and
healthy growth in the future.
This growth can be encouraged
and enlarged by united action
on the part of the people of Mil
bank. It can be retarded and
absolutely checked by spirit
of discord that seeks 10 tear
down rather than build up. The
work of the city government
during the past. two years has
been of most thoroughly busi-
ness character. The installing
of the waterworks and sewerage
system the past year has thrown
a large amount of extra work
upon the council, and the city's
interests have been safeguarded
at every point. Those who have
doue this at the sacrifice of their
time and ease and private busi-
ness interests are entitled to
fair consideration and honorable
treatment from the people whom
they have faithfully and con-
scientiously served. They are
thoroughly acquainted with the
various contracts and business
matters connected with the i'm
portant public improvements
now under way, and as a plain
business proposition it will be a
losing game for the tax payers
Of Milbank to change horses in
the middle of this stream. The
city has made an investment of
$25, 600 in the present improve
ments, and it is a bad time to
commence the tearing down
business. The tax. payers of the
city can i'll afford to crafty the
whims and personal spites of a
few individuals at the cost of
the growth and development of
the city. Not that there are not
others who are as capable as
Mayor Bouck or any Of the
present councilmen to carry on
the city government, and there
are perhaps others whom we
would personally prefer, but we
feel cofident that no new set of
men can do this without loss to
the city, and particularly if the
men SO chosen Should be out of
sympathy and harmony with the
work already accomplished.
With the successful, business
like completion of the work now
begun the tax payers will feel
the extra burden they have as
sumed, but if the city is robbed
of the fruits of the enterprise
the burden will be all the greater
and there will be nothing in CON-
pensation. We have no quarrel
with any man or set of men, but
we belieye we would be disloyal
to the interests of Mllbank if we
failed to warn the people of the
seriousness of the present sit
uation.

The call for a public meeting
to discuss the matter of secur-
ing canning factory for the
putting up of sweet corn, was
not as largely attended as it
should have been, but those who
were present, both farmers and
towns people, were thoroughly
interested in the matter as pre-
sented by Mr.. A. J. Davis, who
with Horace Burnett was intro
ducing the matter to our people.
Mr.. Davis stated that the corn
canning business was q growing
industry, the demand for the
product always being greater
than the supply and that there
was no more danger of the mat
ter being over done there is of
the creamery business being
over done. The speaker gave
a short history of the growth of
the canning business, stating
that in 1870 there were 81 can
ming factories, while now there
are over 20OO He claimed that
the further north the sweet corn
could be raised the better the
product, and as the corn does not
necessarily have to be fully
ripened, it would be certain
crop in this locality, which is
now producing field corn so
abundantly. The smaller towns
have the advantage of the cities
as places for canning factories
because the corn has only to
be transported from the farm to
the factory and shipped from
there in carload lots. The fac
tory would furnish labor for a
number of men, boys and girls,
and would be an inducement to
further diversified farming. The
speaker also brought out the
fact that wherever there had
been a canning factory estab-
lished it has proved good thing
for the creamery business, the
latter showing an increase of
milk receipts, because of the
feed obtained from the husks
and cobs secured from the fac.
tory.
The proposition presented was
for a S12, 900 plant, to be paid for
when completed and run by a
cooperative stock company.
After the matter had been pre-
sented by the promoters, a COM
mittee was selected to investi-
gate the matter and select one or
more OF their mum Der to visit one
OF the canning factories estab.
lished by this cong pany in Min.

Gastric and Nervous Vertigo.

The most common forms or vertigo
are the gastric and the nervous. Gas
trio vertigo is sometimes induced by
very slight disorder Of the stomach.
The patient may feel sudden SWIM
ming at the head; objects may seem TO
revOlve: he totters and perhaps falls.
There may be nausea, faintness, head
ache. visual hallucinatiOns and buzz
ing In the ears, but there is no deaf
ness nor any danger Of loss OF con
sciousness. Gastric vertigo Is cured
by treatment directed TO the cause.
Nervous vertigo may come from
nervous exhaustion resulting from va
rious causes-intellectuai strain or an
immoderate use Of tobacco, alcohol or
tea. The symptoms are much the same
as in gastric vertigo. They are felt
strongly in an elevated position-Dy

WHY CouChing weakens You.

4 patient German scientist or a STA
tistical turn Of mind calculates that
the amount of energy expended by a
person who coughs once every quarter
OF an hour for ten hours IS equivalent
70 90 units Of heat, or the nOurish-
ment yielded by three eggs or two
glasses Of milk. Coughing IS thus seen
TO be- an expensive luxury. The rea-
son for the waste in force entailed by
It. or one reason at least lies In the
fact that. while in normal respiration
the air IS expelled from the chest at
the rate of four feet n second, In yio-
lent coughing it may attain velocity
OF 200 feet.
