The council approved of the install
lation of such system and appointed
a committee to investigate the ex-
pense attached to it's operation. The
committee is composed of Councilman
Burdsall, Williams and Weishaupt.
The leaky condition of the gas pipes
along South Eighth street was referr-
ed to the Light, Heat and Power COM
pany. An order was made to remove
the Objectionable iron CRATES from
cellar windows on Main street and
substitute better ones. 1t was stated
that the sides of these CRATES extend
over the level of the sidewalk and
cause pedestrians to stumble.

Obsolete Cures.

1t was formerly believed that epilep-
sy could be cured by wearing a silver
ring made from a coffin nail. Seven
drops of blood from the tail of a cat
criminal were said to be valuable rem
edies for epilepsy. To cure a felon or
run around hold the finger in a cats
ear for half an hour. For toothache
trim your finger nails on Friday or eat
bread that a mouse has nibbled or car
~ in your pocket a tooth from a sol
der killed in battle. For ranula OF
the tongue spit on a frog. For alco-
holism drown an eel in brandy and
make the drunkard drink the brandy.
To cure warts rub the wart with a 20.
tato and feed the potato to a pig.

n SHOULD WORRY !, SAYS THE COED

Many of the Earlham college girls
are availing themselves of the oppor-
tunity afforded them by Uncle Sam
and are using the parcel post to the
disadvantage Of the washer women.
They simply bundle up their soiled
linen and send it home by post rather
than patronize the tub artists of the
college. The saving is said to be con-
siderable-and girls now boast that
they have more money left for choco-
lates and other nick-nacks.
This is the way they figure" it:

abused in any way. serious results are

an advanced form of kidney trouble

portant organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
is Dr. Bilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney. Liver and Bladder Remedy

preparation is soon realized 1t stands

.SPROULE TELLS Of
SALE OF CENTRAL
PACIFIC STOCK
Directors Reluctant to Sell
But Good Price Was
Offered and They
Needed Money

San Francisco, February 22.-'The
directors of the Southern Pacific com
pany were reluctant to sell the Cen
tral Pacific stock but we felt 1T was
good price we were receiving and
besides we needed the money" de-
clared William Sproule. president of
the Southern Pacific, today to the state
railroad commission. 1--WE were in a
predicament The Attorney General
told us that IL we did not sell he would
compel us TO do so by recourse to law
and we saw interminable litigation
ahead of us that would have impaired
our credit. Under those conditions we
could not borrow the money and we
have got to have it
Mr.. Sproule had previously said that
at the agreed price Central Pacific
stock would bring 1923 share, which,
he declared, was a better price than
could have been had at the time the
agreement was reached for any other
G per cent railroad stock.
President Eshleman of the commis-
sion, referring to the opinion of At
torney General Wickersham as report
ed by Mr. Sproule, said: 1T may be
presumptous on the part of this board
to criticise the Attorney General, but
will say that ! do not believe there
is anything in the opinion of the SUI
preme court to Justify the decision the
Attorney General has reached"
