Getting a Reputation.

There is a desk in the senate par
%ttcularly convenient as a place from
which to make speeches. 1t is next
to the aisle and almost in the center
Of the chamber, and affords an oppor-

body hear.
At least a dozen senators, accord
ing to the Washington correspondent
CT the st. Louis Star, have borrowed
this desk when they had special utter
ances to deliver to the senate. This
led, not long ago, to a mild protest
from its legitimate occupant.

1t is not a vast population alone
that makes a great city. We have new
er been carried away with the ambi-
ton for a town large In numbers. We
do crave quality; but what there
should be about numbers, after the
point is reached that brings to a city
practically all that any city car have,
we do not see. Indianapolis has GER
tainly attained a size which enables
1t to command the great advantages
Of city life. More than this were repe-
tition. After there are parks sufficient,
and public transportation, what were
size except more of the same? The
thing hat every city ought to strive
after (and this be it said will bring
increase of size) is quality. We spoke
recently to two things that make more
for a better city. One is low taxation.
It is useless to try to make a city
what It ought to be If its tax rate be-
comes overburdeRsOme. Almost inva-
riabIy with American cities excessive
travagance and waste. And no city
can have a worse advertisement than
that, and none a better than low taxa
ton that by good management keeps
up efficiency.
The other thing to which Sve spoke
was clean byways and alleys and back

AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED
IN A DAY

In the middle Of the night of March
30th 1 woke up with a burning itch in
my two hands and l felt as if l could
pull them apart. In the morning the
itching had gone to my chest and dur
ing hat day it spread all over my
body. l was red and raw from the top
Of my head to the soles Of my feet and
l was in continual agony from the
itching. 1 could neither lie down o
sit up. l happened to see about Cuti-
cure Remedies, and I thought l would
give them a trial. I took a good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. l put it on from
my head down to my feet and then
went to bed. On the first of April I
felt like a new man. The itching was
almost gone. I continued with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
and during hat day the itching COM
pletely left me. Frank Gridley, 1875

HOME TOWN
HELPS
PARIS THE WORLDS MODEL
Wide Avenues Add to AttractiVeness
Of French CapitaI-Other Cities
Far Behind.

It's spacious streets make Paris the
most attractive and in many respects
the most convenient capital in the
world. Narrow streets and insanitary
areas have been swept away, a large
portion of the city has been entirely
rebuilt, and its expansion has proceed
ed in an orderly manner in accordance
with a definite plan, modified from
time to time, but not altered material
ly. Paris has now 102 miles of streets
SO feet six inches or more In width.
London has not more than 81, and
few Of the streets are more than 100
feet wide. whereas some of the ave-
nues in Paris are more than 200 feet
wide, and the width of one is as much
as 800 feet.
Among world cities that nave fol
lowed a definite plan of development
and expansion Berlin must receive es-
pecial mention. The broad boulevards
and emu Of it's suburbs, Chariot
tenburg and S~choenburg, are charac-
t~eristic of districts surrounding the
central area of the German capital. A
noticeable feature in the plans Of both
Berlin and Paris is the provision of
spacious traffic centers, from which
the more important streets radiate In
many directions. This principle has
been developed in London only to a
very limited extent.
It is true that London has done
much during the last ~half-century, first
through the metropolitan board of
works and later through the London
county council, in the way of street
improvement, but the works that have
so far been undertaken have been crit
icized by high British authority as
scattered and fragmentary, forming
no part Of a complete scheme, and de-
signed Independently, without refer
ence to a general plan"
When we come to our American
cities, such as New York and Chicago,
we find that, like London. their
growth and development have suffered
from a similar absence Of plan and
centralized effort.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a BABY

If parents realized the fact tha cof-
fee contains a drug-cGfeine-which is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when l was a child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
CIV" me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals l
eve knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
And SO 1 contracted the coffee
habit early. l remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a SUBJ
stitute for coffee.
But 1t did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard
OF. l continued to use coffee until l
was n, and when I got into Office
work, l began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast I was so
I could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.

"a friend persuaded me to try

It at first, but later when boiled good

not give UP Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.

to be? l recollect hearing some time

panied me to such an extent that NOR

try it and felt much relieved; while taking

SAN FRANCISCO TO
BUY HETCH HETCHY
Forty-Five Million Dollar Bond Issue
Authorized by Large Majority.
Must Lay Distribution
Pipe Lines

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-San
Francisco voted to accept the Lake
Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy valley wa
ter system today.
By a vote of $3.50 in excess of the
necessary two-thirds majority, the peo-
pie incurred a further bonded debt In
the sum of $45,0OO000, the cost of the
Hetch Hetchy system.
The proposition of the Spring Valley
Water company to sell its plant to the
city for $35, 100000 was badly beaten. 1t
lacked 1894 of the required number of
ballots.
Had the Spring Valley project car
ried, only a portion of the Hetch
Hetchy bond issue would have been
required, the amount to be paid In this
event to have been but $23,000,00O.
The city must now construct dis
tribution system of it's own, that of the
water company having been rejected.
There were 34S39 votes cast in all.
OF these, 32,S76 favored Hetch Hetchy,
and 1907 were against 1t.
Spring Valley had but 22,509 sup
porters, while 1,724 voted to defeat the
proposition.
The required two-thirds vote was
23,292.
The labor vote was comparatively
large, giving Hetch Hetchy a big mar
gin and accomplishing the defeat of
Spring Valley.
