CONSTIPATION IS A
MENACE IN SUMMER
Regularity of ROweIs Very Im-
portant to Health mt This

At no time should people more close
ly watch the condition of their bowels
than during the hot weather. Summer
conditions contribute in various ways
to cause constipation, but what
ever the cause the trouble should be
quickly corrected; constipation, II
neglected, leads directly to serious,
and often fatal disease.
Some people find that certain fruits
have a laxative effect, but this cannot
be depended upon; q mild laxative
tonic that will act gently and posi-
lively, without gripping or shock to the
system, is far preferable. The COM

brought up again Mr.. Pollock, who
had entered the chamber during the
respite, was invited to talk.
Mr.. Pollock was much milder in his
manner and quite, set the aldermen
to thinking in his presentation of the
question. He did not appear very an
tagonistic to the sidewalk proposition
but said he appeared as a petitioner
asking the council to rescind its pub
lished order that a sidewalk would
have to be laid within thirty days or
else the city would do 1t for the prop
erty owners along Seventh street
south.
He said when the Improvement was
made he wanted a good sidewalk laid,
one that would last many years, at
least fifty years" Turning to the
other petitioners he said that would
last beyond their lifetime, and If not
his own, he would at least have been
retired by that time.

cite.
Mr.. Rupert then said he would like
to hear from Street Commissioner
| Johnson on the subject. Mr.. Johnson
practically substantiated everything

about the condition of h sidewalk
| and declared it was very bad n that
he had personally repaired every foot
of it.
IF left in it's present condition"
| street is completed the sidewalk will
be two and one-half feet below the
street level in many places"
Final Grand Scramble.
Alderman Stewart told Mr.. Pollock
the city would lay the walk and that
it's guarantee would be lasting. Mr..
Pollock felt the alderman was labor
ing under a misrepresentation of the
law.
"The city will do nothing Of the
sort" declared Mr.. Hildreth jumping
into the discussion. There is no such
ordinance as you quote, never was and
never will be in 100 years"
ST move we adjourn" said Mr.
Stewart again, but the mayor ignored
his motion.
with that Alderman Hanson asked
to be excused. Then Mr.. Rupert
moved that the matter be referred to
the street committee and the street
commissioner.
"But how about your resolution or
dering this sidewalk laid within thirty
days? 2" asked Mr.. Pollock.
That is what we are ~petitionins
for" supplemented Mr.. Hildreth.

Stewart again. Mr.. Jardine seconded
the motion and the city dads depart
ed without having made any Roadway
along that line at all.
What Business Was Done.
The little business that was done
was sandwiched in between the heat
ed discussion while Mr.. Smith was
pouring through the ordinance vol
ume. Plans and specifications for a
street between Seventh and Ninth
water main and sewer on College
avenues at the cost Of $1,477 and 81.
GOT respectively were received and
placed on file. The auditor was auth
orized to advertise for sewer bids.
On motion of Alderman Jardine the
contracts for the paving of the cross
ings on Front street will be let by
force account. An agreement was
reached whereby all the aldermen
wanting circus tickets must let the
auditor know by 4 o'clock Saturday
afternoon.
Alderman dollhouse moved that the
Milwaukee railroad be notified to put
the filling for certain crossings and
on motion of Alderman Bowers the
auditor was authorized to draw a war
