A Health Suggestion.

For the public health of the
people of our city, there should be
wherever sewer exists cistern.
built of either brick or cement,
which should be provided with a
double shieve and so.called smell
and ,ateo with woo,len
surface box and cover. The cistern
could be placed between the ad-
joining properties, in which case
the surface part of itcould be divid-
ed into two compartments.
The advantage of these cisterns
lies in the fact that alleys could be
kept perfectly clean and dry, as
,slop water thrown into the cistern
would run out of the city through
the sewers. All heavier dirt that
would collect on the shieves could
be carried away or it could be
burned in suitable place.

A party of Two Harbors men who
have acquired an amount of lands
in Cook county have orga nized the

work in that section.
The evidence of ore deposits to
the north and northeast are fast at

section. A number of Virginians
are interested in promising looking
land in the north country. and
bright dreams of a competence
have seeming foundation in fact.

Congressman Bede Addresses the
Commercial Club in Regard to
Such an Improvement.

At the Wednesday evening meet
ing of the Commercial Club, a body
which has lost out in numbers if
not in interest since the banquet of
a week previous as evidenced by
the attendance of eleven members,
a letter was read from Congress
man Bede asking for cooperation
on the part of the organization in
plan for the securing of federal
building at this point, the Con-
gressman asserting that he consid-
cred the chance for such an i'm
provement favorable.
Several sites suitable therefor
were spoken of by various men,
bers, and committee composed of
Aessrs. Bickford, Hannaford,
Rooney and klmball was appointed
to look up the cost of these plots
and report at the next meeting.
The county division proposition,
which has been coming before the
body for the past several meetings
but has always failed to be reached
in time to permit of discussion,
made a stride forward through the
appointment of A. E. Bickford and
F. J. Hughes as committee to look
up the necessary steps of proceed
ure in making application for divi
sion, to report thereon at the next
meeting or the one following.
The beautifying of our city, which
will be made possible in more ways

ject of comment by several present.
The improvement of the Library

walk to this building. also the boul-
evarding of the lake front and the
establishment of a city park, were
among things mentioned as pos
sibilities, and a committee COM

appointed to interview the council
and make such recommendations
as they may see fit along the line
of civic improvements.

submitted report and several let
tiers from cities having charters,
showing a general sentiment in
favor of such government, and the
presidentappointed as an advisory
ornn1ittee to act in conjunction
with himself and the com nlittee to
be appointed for the drafting of a
home rule charter for this city, the
following: Messrs. Valh Bliss, A.

tions President Metcalfe announced
that he had purposeiy left off the
names of many who would be elig-
ible to appointment as members of
the charter commission through
being free holders for the required
term of years.
Treasurer kimball reported a
neat balance in his hands, and J. p.
Chalmers reported the addition of
several new members, turning the
fees into the proper channel. Sec
retary Hughes also reported that
he had secured upwards of sixty
members during the year 1908. but
he had no detailed report of the

asked to be shown some table

"something new"
The salesman was patient and
showed her everything in stock but
nothing suited.
"Oh, dear" she exclaimed fussily,
haven't you anything ditferent:"
The clerk brought out one of the
discarded tablecloths that he had
just put back on the shelf and said,
with an air of interest:
"Here is one of the newest designs
madam. You see the center is in
the middle and the border runs
right around the edge"
"Why, yes; let me have that one"

STUTTGART RICE MILL
 CAPITAL INCREASED

Stuttgar, April 16.-At a meeting Of he stockholders of the Stuttgart Rice Mill Company the authorized capital stock was rasied from $50,000 to S100- 000, and the paid up capital from S4o,- GOO 70 $60O00. Tn preparation for expected increase in business next season, it was decided to add $2,300 worth of new machinery and two new warehouses at once. The added ma chinery will increase the present ca pacity of 300 barrels to 500 barrels per F hour-day. The new warehouses will be 72 by 150 and 72 by 50 feet. These Improvements, with the pres ent substantial buildings and equip ment, will make this mill one of the largest and pest equipped in the south, outside of New Orleans.
 This is the first rice mill in the state and has been completed since March, 1907, at cost about S40,000, mostly home capital. It opened for business November l in the face of the money panic and short rice crop, notwith- standing which it continued in oper- ation until all the rice in it's territory was milled and marketed. During the first season the mill handled about S125 GOO rice and it's by-products.
