to the walk is the hardship incurred in
moving the output across the walk.
Ninety per cent is moved that way.
George Pass appeared in favor of the

company asked permission to run its
North Mankato extension of the gas
mains on the Main street bridge, to be
properly .clamped Ito the upright posts
ON the south side and just inside of
the driveway, but to be so placed as not
to interfere with travel or affect the

bridge no harm.

placed on file. The objection urged was
to doing the work this year, owing to its

there is no pressing necessity for the i'm

AID Atchison said that some of the
property owners favor the proposed i'm
provement, but as a majority oppose it
he favored letting it 90 over until an

This extensive restoration is necessi-

dean and chapter, for lack of funds,
have not been able to cope. In the
opinion of more than one expert, how

Anemia means a condition in which
the blood is deficient in quality or
quantity. 1t is question among ply
sicians whether there Is ever an ac-
tual permanent reduction In the total
amount of the blood. The quantity
must vary, Of course, from hour to
hour, according to the amount of fluid
that is drunk, and the amount that Is
lost by perspiration and in other ways,
but 1t Is probable that the average re-
mains about the same from day to day,
except in cases of actual starvation
and deprivation Of water.
Anemia, then, is mainly question
Of the makeup of the blood, that is, of
the number of it's red corpuscles, or
cells, and the relative amount of hem
oglobln-the colorlng matter-which
these contain. The blood is a complex
fluid, but in simple terms it may be
said to be salty solution, containing
two kinds Of cells-the red and the
white corpuscles. The white ones are
the scavengers of the body as well as
the policemen and the soldiers. They
protect the body from the disease
germs which threaten It's existence.
The red corpuscles on the other hand,
are the commissary department. They
bring to the tissues the oxygen which
they need and remove the gaseous
waste products.
If the red corpuscles and the sub
stance Of which they are most largely
composed, the hemoglobin are reduced
In amount, the tissues suffer for lack
Of oxygen, and there is a lowering of
all the vital processes. The lessened
proportion of hemoglobn accounts for
the paleness which is the chief out
ward sign Of anema.
1t is common to speak of two forms
Of anemla-primary and secondary.
Primary Is the term used when the
anemia can be traced to no definite
cause, but seems to be disease in It.
self. Secondary is the word used when
the anemia Is evidently the result of
some other condition, such as wasting
diseases or poor nourishment. 1t is
then only one of the symptoms of such
underlying state.
Among the chief causes of secondary
anemla are drains upon the system by
frequent losses of blood, or by diarrhea
or other wasteful discharges, chronic
poisoning by lead or mercury, by the
essential posions of certain diseases
such as rheumatism and tuberculosis
and by poisons formed In the body an(
not promtly removed, which is called
"autointoxication,' and finally the de

A Curious SILK.

is spun bS the puma, a Mediterranean
shell-tish which has little tube at

it fastens itself on any rock 1t fan
