wonder how many people have
considered why the letter w should
be called double U instead of double
V as it looks.
The printers Of the latter part of
the 18th century began to recognize
that there was a sound in broken
English which was without repre-
sentative in the shape of an alpha
betical sign. Prior to this time such
words as wet, weather and web had
always been spelled vet, weather., web.
In order to convey an idea of the new
sound they began to spell these words
with two U's, and as the U of that
date had the form of V the three
words looked like wet, weather,
web. Later on they joined the two
US together and made the character

which Harrison was. threatened with
defeat at the next election on ac-
count of the lax manner in which he
has handled the vital problems of the
city.
John w. Rainey, clerk of the Cir
cult Court, blamed the mayor and his
administration for the garbage mess.
President Lamb of the club said the
mayor had laughed at a delegation
from the Fifth Ward two years ago
when it called upon him to take up
the garbage problem. He assured
them there was ''lots of time to wor-
ry about it."
Attorney McEwen spoke at the
meeting of the Citizens Protective
Association.
''The city has no moral or legal
right to create, a public nuisance"
he said. "The city has simply sized
up this neighborhood as one which
will stand for their action. They
wouldn't dare put such a place over
farther east, near the boulevards,
nor would they put it at Elston and
avenues, or at Belmont and
Fortieth avenues, which are sacred
places in the City Hall. The Chicago
City Railways may want to extend
a car line through that territory some
time"

In front of a rural green grocer's
establishment, old chap, l beheld a
fellow seated on the apex of barrel,
apparently in deep slumber. On in
quiring of a native if the drowsy chap
was employed in any capacity here
abouts, received this reply:
What, him work? Say, if wages
for breathing was five bucks breath,
he'd star7e to death. That guy
wouldn't take a job as sailor in the
Swiss navy or as ham carver in a
vegetarian joint. He'd rather slaugh-
ter time wearing out barrel lids here
than cop $4,000 a year looking for
icebergs on the Panama Canal That

Your Liver and Bowels

Get 10-cent box now.
You men and women who can't get
feeling right-who have headache,
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are
bilious, nervous and upset, bothered
with sick, gassy disordered stomach,
or have backache and feel worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing. a
passageway every few days with
salts, cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stoamch, remove the sour
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and
poison in the bowels.
! A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning. 1O-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg
