WOULD CREATE
"JAG LIST" FOR
DARK GAS LIGHTS

The Street aud Sewer Department
in all probability will establish a
jag list" This list, however. will
have dark gas lights as its subjects.
and will be imposed on the city gas
company for failure to keep the lights
burning.
The directors are now considering
the form Of the agreement for gas
lights for the city The contract will
begin on August and at no time are
the number of incandescent mantel
lights 10 be less than 650 There
are now 670 lights in the city. There
will be demonstrations by the bid
ders before the contracts are award
ed. The contract is to be for a
period Of five years.
A contract clause proposed Is that
any light which fails 20 come up to
the standard viii bring a penalty.
When a light remains out a penalty
equal to three times the cost of the
light a night will be imposed.
George W Sparks. president of the
street board said at the meeting OF
the body today that the department
needs efficiency rather than the PEN

lights should be more severe than
at present. His idea was that the
penalty should be enough TO bear

that constipation aud indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus Is to
start life without handicap.
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels. we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them TO become healthy. This can be
done by the use OF a laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy Is called
Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions II can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for nifty cents or
one dollar bottle, and those who are
already convinced of its merits buy
the dollar size.
Its mildness makes It the ideal
medicine for children, and It is also
very pleasant to the taste. II is sure
in its effect. and genuinely harmless.
Very little of Il Is required and its
frequent use does not cause II to lose
its effect as IL the case with so many
other remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
