SMOKE NUISANCE IS
before COMMITTEE
DISCUSSED LAST EVENING BY
MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
Several Petitioners Appeared and
Registered Kicks Secretary
VOSS Of WdterWoTkS Commission
Argued That There are Others"
Investigation Will Be Made.

Waterto8n is becoming more met
ropolitan day by day. At present.
one of the great problems of the day
is the smoke nuisance and regular
lefty AIRS are being INDUCED in.
The city council committee on public
buildings met last evening to consider
and act upon petition presented at
the last meeting of the council,
relative to the abatlng of the smoke
nuisance occasioned by the chimney
at the waterworks plant. Residents
in the vicinity of the plant appeared
before the committee and were heard
relative to the seriousness or the
nuisance. Several of the residents
proposed the installing of a stoker
and smoke consuming apparatus at
an expense to the city of about 81 $40.
In advocating the same, the argument
was advanced shat there would be a
great saving in the amount of coal
consumed, amounting to about $40 a
year.
Hon. VIM. +. Voss, secretary of
the waterworks commission, appeared
before the committee and offered
objections to the petition, stating that
the Jahnke Creamery Co., Dornfeld-
Kunert Co. and the Watertown Gas
and Electric company should have
bean included in the petition, arguing
that these concerns were perpetratlng
as great a nuisance The property
owners seemed to think that the city
council should pass an ordinance regu-
lating the private owners, but ex-
pressed the belief that the city should
abait its own nuisance first, thus
setting a good example to the private
interests. The committee decided to
thoroughly investigate the matter.
The council license committee also
met last evening for the purpose of
taking the initiative toward the
revision of the ordinance governing
the license fees in connection with
theatres, shows, etc. The present
ordinance is considered out of date in
many respects, as it was passed II
the year 1856. 1t is the plan to revise
the ordinance and change the license
fee. 1t was decided that new ordIn-
ance be drawn by the city attorney
and introduced to the council.

THE LIMIT OF LIFE.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation OF
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between so and 60; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; csrelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures
best helper after 30 is Electric Bitters,
the scientific tonic medicine that re-
vitalizes every organ of the body.

NEW POSTAL LAW
IS RATHER STRICT
1t Prohibits the Placing of
Messages in Merchandise
Big Penalty.
Ice Cream

The postal law prohibits placing
written messages in merchandise pack
ages or letters on which less than two
cents an ounce has been paid and the
provisions of this statute admit of no
waiver of the penalty provided. Dur
Ing the last fiscal year postofice IN
spectors collected 5000 for such
violations. In thousands of cases a
short note or memorandum was placed
on which Iostage was paid at one cent
an ounce, while the written matter
made it necessary that two cents an
ounce should be paid. Finding that in
great many cases the offense was due
to ignorance of the law and that the
collection OF the fine usually works
hardship to the very poor, especially
where written messages are made IN
returning coupons, tags and certificates
for premiums. Postmaster General
Meyers has directed that proper notices
be placed in postoffices warning the.
public against the practice.

HIah Collars and Headaches

That high collars tend to produce
nervous headaches among men and
women is the most recent discovery
Of a well-known Viennesc physician
Quite accidentally the doctors at
tention was directed TO the very high
and very tight style of collar worn
by a patient who was always com.
planning of headaches and giddiness
The collar was laid aside, thus re-
moving the compression Of the neck
and the patients headaches and gid.
diness disappeared. Struck by this
result the doctor paid particular at.
tention to the kind of collars worn
by his headache patients" and in
very many instances the change tc
lower and easier fitting collars
brought immediate relief. In the
case of women wearing high stiff
neckbands it was found that DOING
away with these had similarly bene
fetal result The doctor declares
that nobody with any tendency tc
headache should wear high collars
