dcrstood by any means that the clty

for that price. There will be q con-
siderable expenditure over and above
tie amount Involved In the award this
morning. For instance. to make the
connections between the reservoir
back OF Kenley's gardens with the
water pipes on Main street will cost
about $4,000. The salary OF Mr..
O'Brien as chief engineer will be 911.-

a total OF 9299, 800 It Ia safe to say
that the installation OF the proposed

These young women read every

between the Missouri river and the
Sierras They not only read them,
but they clip from them the articles
that are interesting to their hundreds
of customers, paste them on little
papers, and send them to their patrons
for a consideration. Thousands OF
papers are read by them every week.
The big dailies and the little country
weeklies come in for equal share OF
attention and 1t Is surprising to note
how much news the little papers fur

All kinds OF people are catered to.
Financiers desiring to buy bonds, city,

WEARERS OF "MERRY WIDOW"
HATS HAVE TROUBLES

Do you. fair devotee of the merry
widow hat, suffer from frequent head
aches? Are you sometimes afflicted
with wry neck, and do the nerves of
your cheeks throb and ache? Does
the hair on the crown OF your head
seem dead when you try to brush it
to glossiness? Do you, In addition,
feel a general lassitude, as IL you had
been supporting a burden beyond your
strength?
If SO, you have the new and fash
ionable disease which the physicians
arc wrestling and which, for want OF
better name, they call merry wild
owitis."
1t is caused by the physical strain
OF wearing these new-fangled, ponder
GUS creations OF the milliners and ap-
peared directly after the advent Of the
hat itself.
The pressure of the huge hats
which sometimes weigh several
pounds, is said by physicians to be
the cause of the unusual number Of
cases Of headache which they have
been treating recently. The weight
pressing on the brain causes the cir.
culation of the blood TO be impeded
leading to a general tired" feeling.
