CITY CONCENTRATES
PURCHASING FLUSHER
Board Gets Letters From
Other Cities Recommend
ing Machine.
WILL BUILD A SEWER
Adopts Resolution for Con.
StructiOn of Morton
Park System.

Purchasing OF a street flusher as a
hand sweeping of paved streets, used
in Richmond for many years, was con-
sidered by the board Of public works
today A flusher VIII cost about 81
900 and it Is probable one will not be
purchased until next year because OF
the cty's financial condition En-
gineer Charles produced a number of
letters from various parts Of the
country, all of which approved Of the
flushing system as both effective and
economical
One letter was from ]. r. Morris,
manager of the Municipal Journal, in
which he said flushers had given sat
isfaction in large number of cities
He said that paved streets would not
be damaged by flushing unless the
filling was OF sand. Local paved
streets are filled with tar and CON
crete.
The street commission of Columbus.
o.. wrote to Mr.. Charles approving
of the flushing system; New Castle,
Ind, reported it's tlusher had reduced
the cost of street cleaning one-fourth;
Davenport, Ia, reported that under the
flushing system it cost $4,000 a year
for street cleaning against $1,000 d
year under the old system,
Suggests Junket Trip.
Mayor Robbins suggested a trip to
Newcastle for the inspection of the
flusher used there.
No definite action will be taken on
this question, however, until it is
known whether under the state com
missions new regulations for the 10
cal water works company it will be
possible for the city to secure free
water.
The board today adopted a resolu-
tion calling for what probably will be
the most expensive public improve
ment of the year, the establishment OF
the so-called Morton Park sewer sys-
tenn" This sewer will open wide
territory within the corporation linn
its and which is expected to be built
up rapidly. 1t will serve the territory
from Seventh street to Twenty-fourth

cost to the city for this improv cement
is $4,000. Before final action is TAX

NSURNC
GOOD DIGESTION
importance of Preventing Food Fer
mentA4iOn in Stomach.

importance of Preventing Food Fer
mentatiOn In Stomach.
Good digestion usually means good
health. So long as the stomach does its
work properly disease can find no lodg-
ment in the human system; the liver, kid
neys and inteStines will perform their
work perfectly and remain in perfect
health; but permit anything to interfere
with the proper digestion Of food. an un-
ending train Of troubles Is set in motion.
About the only thing that will upset the
stomach and interfere with digestion is
an excess Of acid, usually caused by
food fermentation. Food fermentation is
due to chemical action in the food itself.
This fermentation causes the formation
OF gas, or wind, as well as acid. result
ing in the unnatural distention of the
stomach and the burning by the acid OF
the delicate lining OF the stomach.
Medicine and tonics cannot relieve this
condition-they usually make it worse.
The fermentation and acid are to blame
and these must be overcome and pre-
vented by taking after meals a teaspoon
full Of bfsurated magnesia In q little hot
or cold water Physicians recommend
bisurated magnesiA especially because it
stops and prevents fermentation of food
and neutralizes tho acid instantly, maxi
ing it bland and harmless, without irri-
tating the stomach in any way. Get a
little bisurated magnesia from your
druggist and try 1t the next time your
food ferments and upsefs your stomach.
Note how quickly the acid is neutralixed
and how soon you forget that you have
such thing as q stomach.-Adv.
