Close attention should be given tc
the flushing Of the city sewers these
warm summer days, Once day
would not be too often. The odor
arising from the Court street sewer
last night was sickening, and it is
hoped that no such condition will be
permitted to exist hereafter. Sewer
gas is deadly, and with the large
number Of well-paid employees on
the city payroll, there is no excuse
for permitting the drains to become
foul. While the hot weather lasts,
the city cannot be too careful in
keeping the sewers clean.

No. 10. "To illumine the streets,
or not to illumine" that is the ques-
ton. Only, there's no question but
what they will be illumined. First
impressions often convince the pros
pective investor more than persuasive
arguments The traveller gains his
impressions from the city's streets,
and remembers best the glittering
vistas of brilliant Broadway No
progressive city can afford to be
without adequate, artistic illumina-
ton. The idea has swept the coun-
try. Cities everywhere are asking
themselves the question: "Why
don't we have Great White
Way?" and merchants are banding
together to install. special display
street lighting, purely to promote
better business. Anything that tends
to increase the traffic on a business
street, and brings the people out on
the sidewalks in the evenings, means
better business for the merchants,
with resultant influence on prop
erty values. We choose the bright
and cheerful street, and where we
walk we spend our money. Civic
pride is the surest step toward bet
ter municipal government. Anything
which adds to the general attract
iveness of the city excites interest in
its affairs, and fosters public spirit
and civic pride. Every citizen
should be able to "Point With
Pride" " to his own city; but how
shall he do this when he sees such
deficiency as poor public lighting 2
Public lighting is a thing of so CON
spicuous and evident a nature that
there is no escaping the odium of an
unfavOrable comparison Light up,
and keep lighted up. This company
is willing to assist in every way pos
sible. We appreciate the patronage
of the public and shall continue do
ing all we can TO deserve your good
will. An electric fan is a mighty
comfortable thing to have around
these hot days. And surprisingly
cheap to own and run, too. Ask us

A WORD WITH WOMEN.
The Real Cause OF Common Aches
And Ills Often Lies In The
Kidneys.

Women are inclined to fall into
a mistaken idea that any pain about
the hips or in the small of the back
musr be endured as a trouble pecul-
lar to the sex.
Such patience is noble, but too
often unnecessary and unwise.
Kidney weakness, in man or Wo-
man, will cause backache, sharp
twinges when STOPPING or lifting,
bearing-down pains, fits of blues,
nervousness, dizzy spells, headaches
and swelling Of the ankles or limbs
The nature of a Woman'S life and
work makes her fall an easy victim
of kidney sickness. The bending
and STOPPING of homework, the
tight clothing worn, the indoor life,
colds, fevers and constipation, all
wear and weaken the kidneys.
Begia using Doans Kidney Pills
which have brought new life and
strength to thousands of women.
1t is your duty to self and family
not to neglect nor overlook the first
symptom.
Don't wait for a serious case OF
diabetes, dropsy, BrightS disearS or
gravel to develop.
No better remedy than Doan's
Kidney Pills. They permanently
cure all forms of kidney sickness.
FITZGERALD PROOF.
