FOR CAIROss HEALTH.

The street sprinkling problem
seems to be in a fair way of settle
rteft for Cairo, as a result of the In
quirias made by the council commit
tee ait Springfield, I'LL. That the
sprinKling win have to be done If the
city is to be made comfortable to live
Id during the summer months goes
without saying; and the most formid-
able obstacle in the way was the cost
OF doing the work, with the water
cost added. With the offer of free
water by the Traction co. and a rea-
tonable proposition for doing the
work (which, it Is to be presumed
will be made by the company, the
matter may be regarded as settled,
much to the qualification of all con-
cerned.
AS has been stated, this arrange
ment will apply only to the six miles
Of paved streets traversed by the
street railways, leaving the five miles
Of paved streets where the cars do
not run, to be sprinkled by the city
wagon. 1t is stated that water for
this can be obtained free from the
artesian well ON Ninth street, which
also belongs to the Traction Co, il
the city viii set up pump which is
necessary to force the water into the
wagon tank. Here again the cost OF
water would be permanently elimi-
nated--a considerable item.
With respect to the unpaved streets
or the grayelled streets, something
may be done with oil Mayor Parsons
suggested, at the recent council meet.
ing. that this treatment be applied to
the driveway in st. Mary's Park as
an experiment; and the suggestion
met with favor That oil is being
used with satisfactory results in many
places to render roads solid and dust
less lis a matter of record. Paducah,
some months ago. contracted for
$4,000 gallons of crude oil to be used
for sprinkling its travelled streets
this summer.

The highest point of woman's
happiness is reached only through
motherhood, in the clasping of her
child within her arms. Yet the
mother-to-be is often fearful of
natures ordeal and shrinks from
the suffering incident to it's con-
summation. But for natures ills
and discomforts nature provides
remedies, and in Mothers Friend
is to be found a medicine of great
value to every expectant mother.
1t is an oily emulsion for external
application, composed Of ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth-
ing effect on those portions of the
system involved. 1t is intended
to prepare the system for the cri-
sis, and thus relieve, in great part,
the suffering through which the
mother usually passes. The regu-
lar use of Mothers Friend will re-
pay any mother in the comfort it
affords before, and the helpful
restoration to health and strength
it brings about after baby comes.
