LIGHT QUESTION
 BEFORE COUNCIL

The matter of lighting the streets during the winter months was taken up and thoroughly discussed at the regular meeting of the c.ty council matter was brought up and passed over to the street and light com mittee for adjudication, and in the meantime they took the matter up with Mir. George Coleman. local manager of the Northern Commercial company As a result of this inter- view Mr. Coleman was present at the deliberations of the council Friday night and went into the mat ter in detail. He explained that the company was making nothing cut of the contract with the city as it took at least two extra cords of wood daily to keep the steam pressure for the fighting of fires up to the standard, and if the lights were cut off on moonlight nights, as sug- gested by some of the council, the company could not afford to keep up the standing pressure. In the opn- ion of MT. Coleman the only relief that could be obtained as far as he could see would be to give the city the existing rates per kil9watt and let the city lights go on the meter service.
 The matter was again left in the hands of the same committee with | instructions to go further into figures and see whether the city would be any the gainer by this method of furnishing the streets with the ne and cutting it out during the moon light nights and when the snow was on the ground
 The report of this committee will be rendered at future meeting.

Cured by Funny Stories.

famous Baltimore physician al
last persuaded his patient to take
a course of funny stories, one at

gloomy fellow, at first rebelled, but,
finally falling In with the idea,
adopted the course recommended
and was in the end restored to
health, the effect of laughter being
entirely to change his mental and

D|MPkES,
HOW TO GROW THEM.

Are you the owner of dimple? If
not, why not?
All the professional beauties have
succumbed to this dimple craze and are
possessed of more than their share of
beauty scars for that is just what
dimple is, prOsaic as it may sound.
Dlmples mean joyousness. Where
the lips have seemingly lost the trick of
smiling, dimples flee away in alright,
as they exist on happiness. Therefore

Unless one is naturally endowed with
dlmples, it is somewhat Of an art to-
obtain them. Dimples you can have,
however, il you are blessed with g. large
amount of stick-to-it-iveness. Home
made dimples are rather shy and re-
quire great deal of urging, but if you
will keep on with your beauty striving,
some fine morning when you view your
pretty face in the mirror you will see a
pretty dimple nesting in cheek or chin.
This will be goal worth reaching, will
it not?
When in pursuit of dimples, you
must make it a point to see only the
silver lining of every mental cloud, no
matter how dark and lowering it may
be. Curve your lips Up, not down,

things that encourages these captivat-

by the following method which is sim

Take few piches of gum arabic and
mix with little water until thick
paste is formed. After a little dab Of
