well level, the steel tank at the top of
the tower being 81 feet in diameter, 30

II Is matter of congratulation that
The entire water works plans were sub

proved by George II. Benzenberg of
Milwaukee, an engineer of national
reputation as water works expert. and
in all essential particulars the details
were worked out upon specifications

year to year been extended until at the
present time, there is constructed and
in use or ready for use approximately
II miles of water mains with full
equipment of well, buildings, machinery
reservoirs and fire MIGRANTS, costing
for material, labor, engineering and
inspection work to the property
owners, about $3.50. 600.
The constantly increasing demand
made upon our water supply by reason
of new house and business building
connections has made it necessary to
install at the plant an air compressor
and while our well has thus far been
sufficient to supply ali demands. the
city officials have now before them the
serious question of an additional supply
to provide against possible energepcy
and the constantly increasing demand.
There exists some difference of opin-
ion as to whether in providing for adj
ditional water supply, such supply
shoula be obtained by the construction
ofanother well or by arrangement with
the city of Milwaukee for supply of
lake water, due largely to the fact that
while our present well water is excel
lent fordrinking purposes, it is claimed
that the water from Lake Michigan
might be found to be more desira BILE
generally.
There is now constructed through
our city along North, Western and
Kenyon Avenues water main through
which is conducted the water of lake
Michigan furnished by the city of Mil
Yankee to the Miwaultee County
buildings in the Town of Wauwatosa.
The use of our streets for the county
water main is enjoined by license from
our Common Council and was granted
upon condition that the owners of
property abutting on the line and the
City of Nauwatosa should be given
the right under certain conditions to
connect with this water supply line.
The pressure in the Milwaukee
mains is not sufficient, however. to
afford general distribution in Wau-
watosa such as is demanded with the
varying elevations in the different
parts of our city and when we consider
that residents of all territory outside
of Milwaukee must pay to that city %
per cent more than Milwaukee rates
for water sold outside its limits, and
that in addition there would be the
charge for re-pumping the water in
our city, with expensive changes re-
quired to carry the supply to our
pumping plant, it viii doubtless be
conceded that until we become a part
of the city of Milwaukee, the question
Of obtaining our water supply from
that source is not without it's obiec-
tionable features. However, what
ever may be determined upon. Waulya-
tosa people may we'll congratulate
themselves and may even in the exer-
else of n just municipal pride indulge
a boastful disposition when they speak
of their water works system. costing
as it has. close to $3.50, 900 and furnish
ing water over such considerable
area, with pressure sufficient for fire
purposes without the aid of fire engines
on any part OF the line.

Daiiv Stock Letter.

[Copyright 1914 by New York Even
ing Post.l
NEW York, April 21.-Almost for
the first time since the ''Mexicsp war
crisis" became really acute, the stock
exchange was able today to pass juds'
ment on various aspects Of the situa-
ton without waiting for something
which was to happen later in the day.
The point OF view entertained by
yesterdays market was somewhat al
tered by absence in the residents
address, delivered after the stock eX-
change had closed, of any request for
war appropriation. And by its pro-
fessicn of hope that outright war
with Mexico will not occur. Still
more, perhaps, opinion was influenced
by the senate's insistence that for
NAL disclaimer of war against the
Mexican people be incorporated in
reasons approving the presidents use
of the government armed forces.

IS OPERATED
ON AT GALESBURG
Defendant In Mann Act Case In Fed
eraI Court is In Critical
Condition.

An unexpected delay In the case OF
the government against DR.. George E.
Maley at Galesburg. will be caused by
the operation which was performed
on Maley yesterday at Galesburg. A
special long distance telephone dis
patch from that city today to The
Gate City was to the effect that Mr..
Maley was operated on yesterday for
appendicitis, and that his condition Is
critical. @
Attorney Ballinger told the court
this morning that he would probably
present a motion dor continuance this
afternoon. At that time he was not
sure the operation had been perform
ed as he had not been informed defin-
itely at the time he was in court.
,ater however, word came OF the
operation.
The effort to quash the indictment
against Maley failed. The defense
then presented motion asking the
government to elect on which of the
three charges it would try the doctor,
and this was promptly overruled by
the court.
The case Of l.. NJ Hartley VS.. the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road was settled and dismissed. Each
side is to pay the costs charged to 1T.
This case was to have come to trial
this morning. 1t is a damage case
against the railroad. Hartley claimed
81. 999 for alleged destruction OF
orchard and meadow from an engine
spark.

A Physicians Advice.

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way declares every exces-
slvely thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims Of
mal-nutrition, condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers Of nutrition are
normal. Instead of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce healthy normal, amount of
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar-
sol is scientific combination Of six
of the best Strengthening fat-produc-
ing elements known to the medical
profession. Taken with meals, it
mixes with the food and turns the
sugars and starches into rich, ripe
|nourishment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable,
Reported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action
Is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless. Sargol is sold by the
Wilkinson & Co., and other good drug
p{cto ovnruuhoro and ovorr DackaP0
contains a guarantee Of weight In
crease or money back.
Caution: Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in the treat
ment of nervous Indigestion and gen.
al stomach disorders, it should not.
owing to its remarkable flesh produc'
ing effect, be used by those who are
are not willing to increase their
weight ten pounds or more.
