SOME FIGURES ON
THE APPROXIMATE
COST OF PAVING
(Continued from Page One)

CONTINUED from Page One)
sessed valuation of the city ut large
(which at the present time II $751;
142.843) amounts to q cost to each
taxpayer of a fraction less than soc
for each $1,000 Of assessed valuation,
when spread over the period Of ten
wears. This cost does not include
any interest charge on the bonds.
All Of the above figures are es-
timated and Of course may vary to
some extent, but on the last paving
put in the cost was slightly less than
the estimate, so IL Is reasonable to
assume that these figures are suf-
ficiently high.
The present debt Of the city Is
$4,000 exclusive of the school
bonds, and this amount is to be reduc-
ed $4,000 by payment to be made
- c~-terrhnr from money now in the
sinking fund for that purpose, and
:. would reduce the amount to
100000. Adding to this amount
$4,000 would make the total of the
city debt 1871 900 on assessed valua-
ton of $3,142,843, or approximately
4 and Ia per cent.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fuf. fy, abundant and appears as soft. lus- trous and beautiful as a young girls after a "Danderine hair cleanse" Just try this-moisten a cloth with little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair. taking ore small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair.

SUBSTANTIAL FENCES
 REQUIRED BY SHEEP
Different Animals May Be Pas tured in the Various Fields
 for the Good of All.

One of the first essentials for sue cessful and pleasant sheep growing on any farm is to have the farm and all fields inclosed with woven-wire fenc- ing of a substantial kind.
 The same fencing used for sheep will also serve for cattle, horses and hogs, all of which in limited numbers may be grown on the same farm with sheep if the owner understands the habits and needs of the different animals and is . good manager of live stock.
 With a complete set of outside and cross fences the different animals may be pastured in different fields for the good of all. Permanent success with sheep will come when the farm iG so divided into fenced fields that the sheep may be turned from one clean pasture to another every few months or weeks of the year.
 They will not thrive and remain healthy confined for all the year in the same pasture. Nor is this peces sary on the average farm

CHOLERA REQUIRES
 IMMEDIATE ACTION
When Disease Is Suspected Among Members of Herd Tenn.
 peratures Will Be High.

When a disease that is contagious appears among hogs. spreading more or less rapidly, is quite uniformly ia tai, and is accompanied by high tenn erature. it is quite safe to assume that it is cholera. Where cholera is suspected. it is well to get a thermom- eter and take the temperature of a number of those that are apparently well. The normal temperature is from iO1 to 103 degrees in winter and If cholera is present, the tempera- lures will be found as high as los and 101 degrees.
 Make a post nortem on hog that has just died and examine the kid neys for small, dark red spots resem- bling those on a turkey egg. Look for small red spots along the small intes- tines and somewhat larger ones on the lungs. The lymphatic glands. which are found in the flank, along the intestines and between the lungs. and which are a light amber color in health, will be found conges:ed and varying from a pink to a very dark color
 Where the services of a qualified veterinarian can be obtained, he should be called to make a post nor tenn and to give serum.-University of Nebraska.

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS
 BOTHER AND USE SALTS
Take Glass of Salts Before Break. fast if Your Back Is Hurting or

If you must have your meat every day, eat It, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts 10 expel 1t from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken. then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region. sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy. full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids. to cleanse the kidneys and flush or the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take g tablespoonful in . glass of water before breakfast for . few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush ana stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine. 50 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

produce a crack and away go your beans on the cellar floor. if nothing more disastrous happens. All tenn pered earthenware dishes are safe to use in the furnace. aluminium if not used at too great a length of time and, of course. iron kettles and frying pans are perfectly safe. For further protection one could slip 2 rcaste- with the baking dish inside or put sheet of sheet iron between the dish and the fire!
 delicious steak may be served by broiling over the coals. Use a long handled cornpopper or put a long handle on the wire broiler used for that purpose. Have a dish set on the ledge to catch the gravy as you turn the steak.
 Apples baked fin a stone dish after being peeled and quartered are much more delicious than the ordinary apple sauce. Casserole dishes of various kinds are easily taken care of in the furnace. A dish which one is at all doubtful of endurance. should be GOV cred with asbestos before putting in the sheet-iron shield. Beans are best put in at night when the fire is banked, as they need such long. slow cooking. Stews could be cooked this way also as well as cereals and soups.
 Cheap cuts of meat. Irish stews, and many dishes may be well cooked in this manner. By few experiments the housewife will discover many dishes which she can prepare and leave to the furnace to finish.
 Heavy padded holders and some times the coal shovel will be needed to carefully remove the dishes with. out burns. Where gas is the only fuel for cooking. this furnace method is highly economical.

 The boar should be evenly bal anced-good in every point The GUS tom of selecting a boar unusually strong where the sows are weak and perhaps weak where they are strong. is e dangerous one. The pigs can most easily inherit the weak charac- teristic of both parents.
 The boar is more than half the herd, so far as influence goes. Each year he may show his strength or weakness in a hundred or several hundred pigs. and it is most important that he should be of the right type and in great bodily vigor with such strongly bred ancestors .s:: sc -:!.. certainly produce pigs of uniformly profitable type, good feeders that will mature early. A boar should be se- lected whose mother and grandmoth- CTS have had large filters
 The boar should be pushed with growing feeds, so that he will make a gain every day until he reaches full, mature weight. A mixture of any two or more of the following grains is good: Corn, barley or milo maize, with wheat. peas or shorts. A liberal supply of skim milk is especially good. He should have all the alfalfa or clover he will eat every day, either pasture or hay. A small feed of roots or cooked potatoes is good. Stunting, even for a short time. will permanent ly iniure his value. He should weigh 300 to 400 pounds when twelve months old
 After reaching full growth, the boar. when not in service. should be given bulky feeds that will keep him full, satisfied and in good condition. but that will not put on fat. such as alfalfa,
