To the Patrons Of City Water.

The city paid for pumping sixty
million gallons of water last year, and
received pay for but twenty million
gallons. Ten million gallons should
cover all leaks, loss at fires, and free

thirty million gallons that was stolen
or allowed to run to waste Patrons
using water for lawns, garden, and
flowers, must report to the City Clerk
before using. We have spies in each
ward to report. This does not apply
to those who have meters covering all

Do You Love John Inhnsnns

Governor John Johnson of
Minnesota, Henry Watterson's
dark horse, may not win the
presidency next year. This much
is sure, however, those who read
the romatic story of his life in the
October American Magazine will
feel an affection for him. John
Johnson is a man you can't read
about long without loving. For
example,;
He could not at first support
his mother, left resourceless by
her husbands financial and mo
raj failure. John was only the
second son. His mother OBJ
jected to his leaving school. He
insisted. He saw a duty. 1t
was the first element in his edu-
cation.
He could not at first support
the whole family. His mother
took in washing. Peoples first
recollection Of John Johnson in
st. Peter is when he was wheel
ing his mothers washings about
in a little wagon. But the wash
ings did not last long. Two
years after Johns father failed,
years after Jonn himself went to
work, this second, this little boy,
fifteen years of age, came to his
mother and told her that she
must now stop working. He
could now support her, and also
his brother and sisters. He was
now the head Of the family.
His mother resisted his de-
termination. She was a woman
strong mind and of strong
body. In her extreme cid age
when her death was expected.
she used to walk to Kasota, three
miles away, and would refuse to
ride And her mental energy
was equalto her physical energy.
But John triumphed over her.
She stopped taking in washing.
And, when he had overcome her,
she used always to say that it
was the proud moment of her
life. She apparently was proud
to have produced a sen who could
overcome her. So at fifteen,
John attained to the leadership
of his own family. And all this
leadership, from then to now,
has continued to be a kind of
family leadership, personal, in
innate, touching"

William Morris humanitarian

William Morris though. liter
allure should be the product of
the ripened mind-the mind that
knows the world of men and
which has grappled with earth's
problems; and in this he had the
strong confederation of several
philosophers. He also consid-
cred that letters should not
be a profession in itself-to make
a business of an art is to degrade
it. Literature should be the
spontaneous expression of the
mind that has known and felt.
To work the mind of spirits as a
business, and sift it's product
for hire, is to overwork the vein
and palm off the Stag for useful
metal. Shakespeare was a thea
ter manager, Milton a secretary,
Bobby Burns a farmer; William
Morris was a workingman and
manufacturer-and would have
been poetlaureate of England had
he been willing to call himself a
student of sociology instead of
a socialist.
But beyond all his accomplish
ments WilliamMorris will live as
a humanitarian man so strong
that he could afford to affront
convention and side with the
weak. Giving all, he won all.
His star is still in the ascendent.

Seemed to Me-" by Ebert Hub
bard, in The CIRCLE for October.

The row in the board of rail
road commissioners may result
in great good. 1t will at least
call the attention of the people
to the conditions of the tracks of
the railroads of the state, and
may result in the improvement
OF the track and service. To an
observer who stands at a distance
and sees things it looks like
Chairman Knott is right in the
stand which he takes, at least
he shows a desire to find out the
real condition of the roads when
the other members of the board
seem to be satisfied to ride over
the road in a special car.--Sweet

envy has opened with an attend

Keep Your
Bowels Open

1t Is a noticeable fact, and one which
any doctor will verify that people who
suffer most often from disease are the
ones who have the most difficulty in
keeping their bowels open. Regular
bowel action is half the battle of health.
People who have a tendency to con-
stipation must of necessity use something
to help nature along. This should not
be a violent aid like salts or purgative
waters, cathartic pills or powders, but a
syrup liquid that will oil the intestines
and membranes that it comes in contact
with. Children, women and weak
people generally should never be given a
strong physic, as it weakens the system. And IL
is futile for the strongest person because the
relief is simply for that day, and then the reao.
ton sets In and you are worse OF than before.
what IS needed is q prompt but gentle laxa-
i've tonic like DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.
People have been taking 1t for sixteen wears
and 1t Is being better liked by more people every
year. The reason is that it fills a want tits
unlike anything else. Results are so sure IN
constipation. dyspepsia, indigestion, liver
trouble, biliousness, tatulenoy. sour stomach,
weak stomach, bloated stomach and such liza
