SOME REASONS WHY.
North Topeka Citizen Sends in Five
for Commission Plan.

The following letter addressed to the
mayor and city council. written by H.
W. Euler, gives what are in the writ
er's opinion, reasons for the adoption
Of the commission plan of city gov
eminent:
"a few of the reasons why 1 favor
the commission plan:
First we have a brick sidewalk 6
feet wide on Logan street from Para
more street north to Evelyn street, the
greater part of which is covered with
mud and weeds and has been so ever
since the first big flood of 1908.
Second, at and near the corner of
EVELYN street and Logan street there
is a deep ditch washed out. part of
which was dug by the street force and
the balance by the rains, which has
remained in this dangerous condition
for year or more.
Third, we have a stone crossing at
the corner of Evelyn street and Kansas
avenue just in front of the $500 Car
field park gate, three feet wide, just
wide enough to catch all the mud that
falls from the wheels of wagons max
ing 1t thicker than 1t would be without
any crossing at all, and there is no
and people have to wade through mud
six inches deep to reach the street car
station.
Fourth, Garfield park is one of the
prettiest natural parks in the state
and with a very little care could be
made one of the most attractive parks
in the city, but since the city has
charge of it, the general appearance
has not been UP and equal to nine out
of ten of the country COW pastures
Most of the time during this summer
the grass and weeds have been from
one to four feet high all around the
front gate and street car stations The
man in charge has never been fur
nished with proper machinery and
help to take care of it.
Fifth, the mud on all the crossings
near Garfield park is never cleaned off,
as it is in other parts of the city.
''The people in that part of the city
have to pay just as much tax as in
any other locality, and should have
their crossings cleaned just as often as
the people in Potwin or on Topeka
avenue and I believe if we had the
commission plan we would get it.
VERY respectfully submitted"

General Demand

of the WeIl-Inforned of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable TO the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Weh-Informed.
