of West Main Street Bridge Up to
the Voters on Next Tuesday.

resolutions. etc.. in order to avoid
legA technicalities and possibly cost
ly proceedings and delays later. In
mailing any permanent improve
meut 1t is always wise to lay safe
and; sound foundation for the fu-
tureswork, and this the council has
done in proceeding slowly. but safe
ly. n this paving proposition.
The purpose Of the movement to
secure paved streets for Lynden's
business section il not to increase
taxes. but to get permanent re-
suits from the money necessarily ex-
pended In the maintenance OF our
streets. 1t il claimed that enough
money has already been spent on
Front street to more than pay for
the best pavement. and still the
street is miserably unfit aud en-
tirely inadequate to the needs of a
town like Lynden. Only yesterday
one OF our citizens declared that
the very worst piece of road encOun-
tered between here and Bellingham
was fright on Lynden's main street.
Clearly. something must be done, and
it is equally clear that whatever
course IL adopted viii mean the out
lay of funds. Why not get returns
for the money expended? A street
properly paved requires practically
NO outlay for upkeep. while 10 at
tempt to repair q street like Front
street means the expenditure Of
MONEY with but little Improvement
in the condition. and merely q post
pon~ment of the paving which soon-
er or later must inevitably be done.
Sedro- WOOlley had this same ex-
perience. Year after year, money
was paid out for street repairing
and patching. until 1t was finally a
greed that paving offered the cheap
est and only permanent solution of
the difficulty. And now Sedro-Wool-
ley regrets that It did not poOner
begin the work of street paying. and
some of those who originally 0pp0s-
ed TIA improvement are now most
enthusiastic In they demand for
further paving.
No progressive town will long per-
init its main business street to re-
main in a worse condition than the
roads of the surrounding country.
Such a condition is a reprOach to
any municipality. A town, In Or
der to maintain its business rela-
tions with the people Of the rural
districts must provide clean streets.
Lynden is the loser by many dol
lars ON account Of the filthy con-
ditiou Of its streets during The wet
weather OF last winter when Front
street in particular was almost inn
passable.
Some of those opposed 10 making
these improvements at this time as
sert that the town IL already too
much in debt by virtue Of the bond
ed indebtedness incurred on ac-
count of the water works system.
1t has been Incorrectly stated that
the water works system was not on
a paying basis. Such is not at all
the case. The following report fur
nished by Water Superintendent
Pixley shows that the towns water

ing of $1,177.2O. or more than 6a
per cent. on the investment.

NIP TEMPERs HORSES BATH
Whisky Stops shiverins and Arouses
Big Appetite After involuntary
Plunge.

New Orleans.-Jerry, an old horse
which works in the windlass arrange
ment to cut ice in the municipal fish
dock, slipped and tumbled into the
river. Firemen on the fire tug John
H. Farley witnessed Jerry's impromptu
bath and went to his aid.
But horse in river is not as
easy to help as human being. 1t took
nearly half an hour to fix rope around
him and haul him ashore.
On the bank Jerry shivered and
coughed and hung his head. The crowd
which had witnessed the rescue was
sympathetic one, and when Fred W..
Wheeler, manager Of the Municipal
Fish company, suggested that drop
Of whisky was as likely to revive a
half-drowned horse as human IN
similar plight some one produced half
a pint.
Jerry threw back his head and took
his medicine just like a man. That
night he was eating as he has not
eaten for a long time, and Jerry's
friends are not sure whether 1t is the
cold bath or the tonic which has sharp
ened his appetite.

poisoning is a disease too often fatal:
Bright's disease is one of the tnal

in our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney

to know the early signs Of kidney dis

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DBRKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruR, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-.
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q, time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, Jour
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

parachute probably saved the life of
Miss Amelia Bernecher Of Asheville,

Her presence Of mind in grasptng

break the fall helped to save her.
Miss Bernecher's dress spread out

impact.
