in the shape of petition which Is
being circulated by residents and

The idea suggested Is that a Via

II IL now pretty certain that the

az this time will have large num-
ber cf signers 600, one member OF
the council stated today.
The law provides that where such
work Is done. the railroad COM

city the remainder of the cost OF
construction. This petition will be
presented. so II was stated today,
nj the next regular meeting of the
city council and the city dads will
probably refer 1t 10 q committee to
take up the matter with the two
roads Interested
One thing is certain. the improve
ment Is constructed as patitioned
for 1t is going TO mean exceptionally
heavy expense to property owners.
and by reason oi the ciose proximity
os the shops and the residence II Is
going to make mighty difficult

are those who have gone so far rs
to state that such n viaduct as IL
required would of necessity begin
over somewhere In the vicinity of
the Malleablc Iron Works In order
to give 1t q proper grade. and II
not, the grade would be altogether
too pronounced for practical pur-
poses.
However. the people are signing
the petition and council will un-
ldcubtedly have an nnnnrinnity to act

L. Is said that II necessary 1000

Sensitiveness is one OF. the charac.
t-rlstics Of baseball playing. many
members of the profession being
touchy In spots and some all over.
They dislike to have their work criti-
ci2ed In a derogatory way, as It units
them for duty and keeps them In a
disturbed state of mind. They keenly
feel the stings of sarcasm or the
gibes OF disappointed fans. In other
words, adverse criticism breaks them
all up While the majority of present
day managers advise their players To
keep plugging away and ignore criti-
cism, many are unable To follow that
sensible advice. They cannot stand
the gan of adverse comment. Base
ball history tells of number of good
players who chose to retire from the
profession rather than be subjected
to remarks which ranked within their
bosoms and upset their equilibrium.
Posing az they do In the continual
limelight as public celebrities. ball
players should possess natures i'm
peryions to attack, but all are not
built alike. When the beacherites
get after player the music begins,
and Is continuous unless the offender
turns the tide by making good play
and is forgiven. Baseball fans are a
fickle class--always have been and al.
ways will be. They are very apt to
hand a ball player a bouquet one day
and lemon the next. Few fans are
lenient In judgment. but once n player
makes good with them he possesses
an army OF friends who hold him up
as an idol until tho passing years
bring stiffness to his joints and he
drops out of sight into u lesser league.

HOME MADE MIXTURE WHICH
ANYONE CAN PREPARE.
Relieves Blood Disorders By Restor-

rheumatism.
Rheumatism.

All medical authorities are agreed
that the blood is the great source OF
disease or of health in the human sys-
tenn If the blood is pure, the indi-
vidual is strong and healthy, If the
blood is impure or diseased then there
is sickness or decay in the whole sys-
tenn
Phcun.atism is strictly blood dis
ease. 1t is caused by excessive uric
acid. Sores, pimples, ETC., mean bad
blood Catarrhal affections must be
treated through the blood to get per-
manent results. To get well, to feel
strong, hearty and vigorous one must
have good, clean blood and lots of it.
You can't clean the blood thoroughly
unless the kidneys are made active.
Bad blood means clogged, inactive kid
neys and liver which causes, too, such
symptoms as backache, nervousness,
bladder and urinary difficulties and
other sympathetic troubles.
Here is simple home remedy and
the recipe for making it up is as fol-
lows:
Fluid Extract Dandalion, one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle aud
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime. The in
gradients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy at small cost.

remedy for all forms of blood, kidney
