Arrangements have been made by

at the station to speed them on their

THE GROWING GIRL.

A girl when in her teens is passing
through a critical period of her life.
The transition from childhood to ma
turity is not always easy; consequent
ly, in many cases, health breaks down
entirely and the girl goes into a de-
cline and dies young. If she escapes
this fate, she may fall into a state of
permanent iii health. 1t is of the ut
most Importance, in order to insure
normal and healthy development,
that proper precautions be taken, and
nothing has proved more helpful than
the faithful use Of Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, the great
woman's medicine and tonic.

payable May /. A mar is to be sent
to start it up for the city. 1t is TO
be lettered to conform to the regular
city sprinkling cart, and to prevent
any n stealing ii under the impress
sion that it is a British fighting ma
chine of a new and specially deadly
kind. According to his own decided
objection, the mayors name will not
be stenciled on it.
1t was decided that the city would
pay the electric light bill against the
Normal dormitory during the sum-
mer, incurred because of the occu-
pancy of Company E. There was one
bid only submitted for the placing
of the light posts of the parking. and
that did not include the work intend
ed by the commission. They want
some one to take the whole job, from
digging the holes for the bases. to
wiring and placing the globes. The
matter was postponed to a later
meeting.
There is to be an adjourned meet
ing of the board Thursday night to
consider the amended city assessment
levy of taxes.
The city engineer furnished an es-
innate of the finished paving of dis
trict No. g., and October s was the
date set for hearing. This is the
district consisting of Second street
NE.
The meeting drifted into the usual
discussion of making the electric cur
rent available for the home and shop
use as heat and power. And as usual
nothing came of 1t but the quotation
of rates here as compared with those
of other and outside companies. Ii
seems with the commissioners that il
is a proposition of furnishing more
power to furnish more current to get
more money to buy more engines to
furnish more power to furnish more
current to get more money, etc.

there was only a small amount of the

would have been serious. But VIM.

this morning that the men would suf-
