The construction of the cement, or
 concrete crosswalks must be well
 done. of course. ard Mir. Turney has
 devised the formula that he believes
 is necessary to insure success, recit-
 ing the proper basic materials, the
 depth of each, etc, as we'll as the
 grades and angles to be observed in
 construction.
 Finally the subject of sidewalk
 building itself is reached. By popu-
 lar verdict and every other way. ce-
 ment seems to be the best available
 material here. But there is cement
 and cement. In front of the Gregory
 house is a piece of cement sidewalk
 laid about twenty years ago It is still in good condition. while some laid here only last spring is already outliving its usefulness. The differ ence is in the materials and work
 manship. Some men know how to make good cement walks and some do not. Some who know how will not do it if they can help it for va rious reasons. chief among which is that a poor walk costs less and looks just as well until after the con tractor gets his money. Perhaps it lasts long enough for the contractor to move on to another town, or until the people who saw him build it, or possibly the owner of the property who hired him through an agent has forgotten his identity, if he ever knew it, and when asked to show a sample of his work he points to some other walk and denies having built that one. It is MT. Turney's intention to try and get the city council to pass an ordinance that will require the builder to impress his name with a mold or stencil, or whatever the de- vice used may be called, at least once on every 100 feet of walk built or on every walk if it is less than 100 feet long. Good contractors will read fly do this for advertisement. Those who refuse should be carefully watch ed, whether there is an ordinance re- quiring it or not It is notable in this city that the poor cement walks sell dom or never have anybody's name on them. It is equally notable that nearly all the walks that have stood the test bear the name of the man who laid them.
 The city council. seeking to en- sidewalk building and to make the building of walks more of q science than heretofore, recently passed a new ordinance. formulated largely along the line of suggestions made by the city engineer. It is quite technical in it's requirements, which is necessary for the construction of good walks, but it is also liberal in that it furnishes a variety of ways for arriving at practically the same result, the builder to choose the methods most convenient or most economical in his particular case. This new ordinance if followed closely ought to give good rseults.
 In it's construction, the choice is given in concrete materials, between river sand or gravel and crushed1 rock. In most cities the construction is made in two layers, but in Phoe- nix better results have usually fol- lowed construction in three layers, that being the choice usually of the older residents. Either is permitted by the ordinance, but if the two layer method is used the material must be richer in cement. The speci- fications are so complete one does not need to be a good cement man to do good work. though like any other

Take your sour stomach-or maybe you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't matter-take your stomach trouble right with you to your Phar- macist and ask him to open a 5O-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your former misery.
 The correct name for your trouble is Food Fermentation-food souring: the Digestive organs become weak. there is lack of gastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appe- tite. pressure and fullness after eat ing, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels. tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleepless- ness, belching of gas, biliousness, sick headache, nervousness, dizziness and many other similar symptoms.
 If your appetite is tickle and noth- ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel bloated after eating or your food lies lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there is but one cause-fermentation of undigested food
 Prove to yourself, after your next meal, that your stomach is as good as any; that there is nothing really wrong. Stop this fermentation and begin eating what you want without fear of discomfort or misery.
 Almost instant relief is waiting for you. It is merely a matter of how soon you take some Diapepsin.

WINTER CAMPAIGN ON
 FOR GOOD SIDEWALKS
CITY ENGINEER TURNEY
 GIVES HIS VIEWS.
Specification of the City Ordinance in Regard to Sidewalks.

One of the local municipal cam paigns to be made this winter is for better sidewalks, crOsswalks and gut ters, and more of them. The city has already set a good example in the building of certain crosswalks and will likely do more in that direction. A local organization has the side walk question on it's list and the board of trade has always sought to encourage sidewalk building, having committee now considering that improvement. The Republican has published several articles on this question, chiefly as to the need of walks and the way to get them, namely, by securing the petitions of enough people in given block to force the other owners in the block to pay their share. This article is designed to cover other phases of the question; first, new ideas, and, secondly, construction work.
 The inspiration of this article is a talk with City Engineer O. A. Turney. Mir. Turney said, The story of every city is growth. Every city has con ditiOns, and phases of evolution, pc culiar to itself. In Phoenix, for in stance, the early idea was that a gutter was primarily an irrigating ditch. The demand came for a ditch that would both drain and irrigate and the early engineers sought to fill the want but, being human, they could not satisfactorily accomplish both ends with the same ditch. The grade needed to carry off the water was not the grade required to bring it on the same piece of ground. Then came double ditches in certain places, for one demand in an irrigated coun- try was as urgent as the other was in all countries. As the city grew one ditch or the other was eliminated, depending upon whether the locality became business property or residence property where trees, shrubs and shrubs were deemed most important.
 Another phase of the question was the shape of the ditch. The earliest

 The stomach gives tons upon tons of good rich blood every year to the system and draws only 6SO lbs. of nourishment for it's own use.

tracked the dirt away from the mar
 gin of the crosswalk and left the artificial stone sticking up to bump the next wheel, and so continue until the crossing was destroyed. Mir. Tur- ney thinks the secret is the necessity of giving the crosswalk a sloping edge and making the slope at exactly the right angle If it is too steep the dirt will fall away as before. If it is too flat the dirt and mud will submerge the crosswalk in bad wealth CT. A practical experiment has been made under his direction by the Post office News Store in its walk across Center street It has been in use some months and thus far has proved satisfactory. It is noted, too, that the surface of this cement crOsswalk is So a horse will not slip on it as in the earlier smooth ones.

ditches were plowed or shoveled out
 They had whatever shape they hap
 pened to take. and the bigger they
 were the better they were, for the
 more water they would hold. As the
 central streets became more than ever
 devoted to business and some ideas
 of appearance took hold of the com
 muitny the square ditch, with board
 sides and bottom, came into use. But
 1t was short lived and lacked ca
 pacity. Then came the round ditch
 contempOraneously with the building
 of curbs, formed by elevating the
 road and depressing the sides. This
 was very satisfactory during dry
 weather and when there was no water
 in the canals, but as soon as these ditches came into practical use they
 became unique and picturesque mud
 holes.
 The city then got real blOoded and put in cement gutters through the principal streets, building them wide and with a magnificently curved or concave bottom. Most of these ditches are still in use. Their chief purpose is to entice horses down into them. where their feet slip and they are seldom able to get out again until they throw themselves and are re- leased from straps and harness so they can roll out. They furnish a great deal of sport also by throwing bicycle riders who. with arms full of packages, place the wheels alongside the curbs to mount, and then try to T carry the water away very nicely only that the engineers. like their forersnners, tried to make them slope both ways, so they would carry irri- gation water on and drainage water off"
 MT. Turney has abandoned the idea of trying to make an irrigation ditch out of a gutter. He has also aban- doned both the round and the square gutter and has adopted a gutter with a flat cement bottom a few inches wide, straight (not curved sur face a trifle wide, between the bot tom and the curb and on the street side a straight slope from the bottom up to a sunken Trail forming the street side of the gutter. Either horse or a wheel can go in or out of this butter without difficulty, for the angle of the slope conforms to that of the street grade. Wherever he. has occasion to construct gutters he will use this new model of ditch.
 In connecting the crosswalks with the sidewalks, he has also modelled a perfectly arched cement bridge over the gutter, one that is sufficiently high to give a complete gutter serv- ice without impairing its strength or Any flow that the gutter can accommodate can be accommo- dated also by the bridges.
 Consideration is next given the That has been deli cate subject with the Phoenix city council ever since Columbus discov- cred America.

 The ordinance requires that all sidewalks must be built in accord ance with the requirements of the specifications and the grade furnished by the city engineer, or both the onwer of the property and the con tractor are liable to a fine of from $50 to $200. The dual responsibility is provided so there can be no es- cape. The contractor can not evade the issue by laying it on the owner, in case the contractor is known, and the owners safety lies in having the work properly inspected as it pro ceeds, so he can defend it in the city courts if necessary. or call the contractor to account as the work

The cyclists who are entered in the
several amateur events to be pulled
off at the Seal Gardens, opening July
4, are putting in busy hours at the
