Water rate investigation shows
that meters are needed in the bust
ness districts whether the small
property owner will have them or
not. 1t appears to be true that the
men who use the most water pay
proportionately less than the av-
erage citizen.

the city a flat rate Of $50 per
month. This sum includes the res
taurant, the Pennington hotel, a
six ton ice making machine and a

Ice manufacturers say that on a
conservative estimate the ice ma

MOTHER WAS
ON DECK

ST. LOUIS, Sept. Ito stand
idly by and see ones intended kid
mapped by a doting mother before
ones very eyes is apt to be try
ing on the nerves. At least that
is the way 1t appeared to Miss
Blanch Paisley of Hillsboro, ILL.,.
who came to St. Louis by appoint
ment to meet Lester Earhart on
his return from st. Paul, only to
find that his mother had wind of
the affair and had captured the
youth as he stepped from the train.
A few weeks ago Lester was
shipped off to st. Paul to visit,
wher it was hoped he would get
over his infatuation for the pretty
Miss Paisley. But Lester was long
on memory. The longer he stayed
away the more he wanted to marry
the girl, and so it was arranged be-
tween the young couple that they
should meet here and get the
nuptial knot tied hard and fast be-
fore any one got exiled again.
Mother heard of it in some way
and she was on hand with Les
ter's big brother when the train
came in. Lester hung back a lit
tie at first, but finally permitted
himself to be led away, while his
sweetheart, out-generaled and for
saken, stood disconsolately gazing
through the midway gates after
the retreating form of the captive.

IS ALL RIGHT

The city engineers office claims
that tn expedient of dumping sand
into the new reservoir to stop
leakage is proving successful. 1t
is figured that the sand will puddle

A sensational report published

reservoir was founded on an over
flow from a manhole on Hilliard
street. The drain pipe was choked
by too heavy pressure pumped in
an effort to regulate pressure on
the reservoir. Commissioner Roy
says the mean pressure has been
fixed at ITO pounds, which will pre-
vent any further trouble.

The Zulu War Cry.

The Zulu war cry. used whenever they take the field by the South Afri- can footballers now in London, has puzzled our newspapers, not one of which seems able to spell it correctly, says Notes and Queries. The Daily Express gives it as 'Igamilzho," and the Daily Mail as "Gammillo" The cry really consists of two words, and should be written 'Igama layo. 7" "Igama" is Zulu for name" and 'layo' is a possessive pronoun, mean ing either his or their Thus the Daily Mail although quite wrong in its orthography of the cry, is right in saying that it merely means That is his name.' The explanation is that Zulu etiquette does not allow warriors, when they rush into battle. to men tion the names of their enemies, but the leaders shout out, That is his name pointing to the victims with their spears

The ideal Family Laxative.

Is one that can be used by the entire family, young and old, weak and strong, without any danger of harmful effects. It should have properties which insure the same dose always having the same effect, otherwise the quantity will have to be increased and finally lose it's effect altogether. These properties can be found in that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be- cause it's ingredients are of the purest herbal extracts, and every pill is kept for three years before being sold, which allows them to mellow. We do not believe there is a laxative on the market that is so carefully made
 Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pills your grandparents used. They have been in use for over a century and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated.
