the Western Grocer Company team

Tho coming season should not be al
lowed to pass by without some paving
being done. and contracts for whatever
paving is to be done should be let
early in the spring. when contractors
are looking for work and are eager to
bid. However. the city funds with
which to pay for street intersections
and corner lot assistance are limited.
The present mill levy for that pur-
pose Is all that we care to pay at one
time. The council can afford to keep
its paving improvements within the
bounds Of the levy already made.

COUGH DUE TO NERVOUSNESS
Not Dangerous, but Hard to Distin-

Tubes Are Affected.

1t frequently happens that persons
hitherto in good health are suddenly
seized with fits of coughing, which
they have considerable difficulty In
overcoming. Due to general neu-
rasthenic or hysterical nervous cond1-
ton, this cough. owing to its particu-
lar characteristics. is termed "the
nervous cough"
The nervous cough often cannot be
distinguished in any way from the
cough due to an affection of the res
piratory passages. 1t sometimes oc-
ours in the form of periodical, pro-
longed and very painful fits of cough
ing and sometimes as continual
short. dry cough. Its most character
istic symptom is that it ceases during
SLEEP and begins again on waking.
The patients, while often a source of
anxiety to those around them, are
generally otherwise in very good
health
Another popularity of this cough Is
the absence of any secretion, for even
after very prolonged fits of coughing
there is rarely anything noticeable
except a little saliva Patients may
sometimes succeed IN checking the
