CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

Monday night brought a real old
fashioned 'gab.fest' at the city hall.
Nearly every alderman took a flying
leap into the arena and attacked or de-
Tended somebody or something. The
sensational event was the considering Of
the charges of the Socialists that Walter
Pellet had been paid for 233 cords of
stone filling in the city ser wal! when
he az ireraap rut in brtt'0 ,orde,
which if true would mean over S400. 90
velvet Mr. Pellet filed affidavits
showing that he bad put in over pa
cords, or IA cords more than he WAS paid
for After the necessary pickering had
been concluded the matter was referred
to the harbor committee with authority
to swear and examine witnesses, which
they will do in executive session Mon
day.
Deciding tie vote of 7 to 7 the mayor
removed the non. booze ban from John
Iiarnik.
The city refuses to pay for the dam
age done to Great Lakes Co. pile driver
by its humping Sth street bridge. 1t is
now the companys next move.
Alderman Frazier wears broad smile
as result of his pet ordinance for the
creation of a park commission having
gone through.
The little strip ont near Green street
will shortly be changed from rural to
urban real estate.
1t is now a certainty that the Huron
st. surface drainage tax will be refund.
ed
Don't Spit signs at IS cents, or even
50 cents, are too expensive for the coun-
Gil apd the city will worry along for a
while without any warnings.
Aldermen PITT and Schmitz talked at
each other in heated phrase for a few
minutes touching the late attempt to
open 18th ST., the former charging the
latter with bad faith which Mr.. Schmi
IT, of course, Indignantly repelled.
The quiet assurance given last week
that the Union Park paths would be
cleared of snow proved decidedly unre
liable and the two second warders are
again camping on the trail Of the Park
committee. No one else seems interest
ed in the matter and if the reelection of
Thoreson this spring depends upon get
ting those steps cleared his political flu!
ture looks dubious.
The City will pay cash for the voting
machine and thereby save $50 interest.
There will be no spring registration of
voters.

How to Relieve Headache,

There are many kinds and causes OF
headache, but probably the two most
common headaches result from nerv-
BUSINESS or a disordered stomach.
In cases where there seems to be too
much blood in the head, when there is
pounding in the temples and behind
the ears, a warm drink will often af.
ford relief. Drink n cup OF tea or wa
ter to which the juice of n lemon has
been added, as hot as It can be borne,
and place the feet In hot water. This
Will draw the blood from the head and
VIII relieve the pain greatly. Some
chronic sufferers from headache claim
that there is no cure like n brisk walk
In the fresh air with as loose clothing
as possible, followed by a nap in n
darkened room where the fresh air
abounds.

How to Handle Fine carriaoss.


The following instructions are given
by an experienced carriage builder In
reference to the care OF fine carriages
Freshly vanished carriages should be
washed frequently aud exposed to the
air In the shade and should not be COW
cred until the varnish has become
hard. Mud allowed to dry upon fresh
varnish will leave spots, and exposure
to ammonia Will destroy fresh varnish.
Plenty of water should be used and
great care taken that It is not driven
into the body Of the carriage, to the
injury Of the lining. For the body
panels large, soft sponge must be
used and when saturated squeezed
over the panels, and thus by the flow
Ing down Of the water the dirt will be
softened and run Off harmlessly. Care
should be taken to wipe the surface
dry with soft channels leather. Never
use the same sponge and channels for
panels which are used for running
gear. Never use soap on vanished
surfaces. and only take of the grease
and dirt around the hubs and axles.

POTASH.

Potash or potassium is one of tho
three Indispensable elements in the
soil required In the growth of plant
life. the other two being nitrogen and
phosphoric acid Scientists have esti.
mated that fertile soil contains 2 per
cent OF potassium, and In an acre of
arabic soil one foot deep and weighing
100000 pounds this would amount
to 10000 pounds. Therefore. theoret.
ically. crop which would remove
nifty pounds OF potash yearly could be
grown on the same land 1.4O0 years
before the potash would be complete
ly exhausted. In spite OF this show.
Ing, however, this element is coming
into quite general use as n commercial

region about Strassfurt was covered
by the seas. 1t is supposed that later
volcanic action heaved up the noun

water which was replaced by water

BLESSINGS in plsaulaE

Things that at the time seem curses
arc often blessings in disguise. This
appears to be proving true Of the green
bug and Hessian iy pests. which have
attacked the winter wheat fields in
south central Kansas and some other
sections. Owing to the risk thus at.
tached to the growing OF wheat many
farmers are going extensively into the
raising OF corn and alfalfa, which are
safer crops, give better returns and
leave the hand In better shape from
tho standpoint OF fertility. And with
these two winning crops more live
stock Is being fed. which serves TO
stili further help the good work along
In future years the Hessian fy and
green bug may be considered among
mans benefactors.

How to Save Gas on ironing DAYS.

When using gas stove to heat the
irons for ironing much gas can be
saved by buying a tin pan large
enough TO at over the number of fiat
irons used. A dishpan is excellent for
this purpose. Make n hole In the bot
tim OF the pan and fasten n holder
here. Small wooden knobs can be
bought for 8 cents at any hardware
store. The knob should be fastened
on the outside of the pan. Use this
pan to cover the irons with, and they
VIII keep the right heat with the gas
turned much lower. You will be sur
prised Mt the amount OF gas this will
save and how hot the irons will be to
work with. 1t is not difficult to re-
move the pan when the irons need
changing, as the wooden handle wiz
not become hot.

SOME cEMENr MISTAKES.

A well known authority on the man.
ufacture and use OF cement in CON-
menting on the causes OF 80 many fall
ures In the use OF cement attributes
them largely to two things-the use
or weak or poor cement and improper
sand. The correction Of the first trou
BILE is relatively simple II only that ce-
ment is bought which is guaranteed
fresh and good by n reliable dealer.
In the matter of the sand used. IL
should always be sharp and rather
coarse and as free as possible from
SOIL or any kind, whether clay or loan.
sand or the right kind when rubbed
between the fingers should leave little
or no discoloration on them, while a
handful Of 1t run through the fingers
into pail OF clear water should not
aiscoior 1t enough so that the sand
may not be seen at the bottom. II the
water Is muddied so the sand cannot
be seen 1t is unfit for use. Another
cause OF poor cement work comes from
a shortsighted economy in not using
enough cement to give a strong and
permanent mixture. Different propor
lions or cement to sand are used for
dinerent purposes, but the amount OF
cement prescribed IN each instance
should be used.

Fitful Appetite.
The guardians OF nnicky child
know that mealtime Is often more
than n matter Of table setting and
food buying. Theorists say, MAKE a
child eatv' But mothers know that
this Is often impossible until the little
one is reduced TO sickness.
IL Will be found easier TO tempt the
htful appetite rather than TO scold or
punish. Delicate children can often be
coaxed Into hearty meal when force
work would mean a scene. Make the
meal playtime. Serve bread and but
ter cut into thin slices and piled I'D log
cabin wise into a house and pretend
the child Is an ogre to eat 1t up.
Name dishes for different rhymes. as
Jack Horner's pie for followed out
rolls cooked like croutons and flied
with the nourishing poached eggs. Po-
tatoes can be nodded into the form OF
a wall with an egg perched on top to
represent Humpty Dumpty. The child
Will quickly eat up the egg to prevent
"the great fall"
Boiled rice can be nodded into snow
balls, floating island can have all sorts

The game becomes Of interest to
mother as well as child, as the neces-
sity to invent new stories and fresh

learns to eat, 80 that later the practice
can BIO discontinued.

troublesome as to sit up half the night
