COUNCIL ADOPTS
TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
PAVING QUESTION DEFERRED.
EXTENSION OF THE WATER
MAINS RECOMMENDED.

At the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday night an ordinance
governing traffic in the business
streets of the city was adopted. 1t
provides rules of the road, for load
ing and unloading, turning corners,
crossing street from one side too an
other, lights on machines, speed of
automobiles, bicycles on sidewalks
and speed of bicycles, and prescribes
the duty of the police.
Councilman Morris, chairman of a
committee appointed to investigate
the advisability of extending the wa
ter and sewer mains, reported that
the committee had gone over the
ground and decided it would not be
practicable to extend the sewer mains
at this time, but recommended that
the water mains be extended from
College street north three blocks up
Central avenue, thence east to Craw-
ford street; Sixth avenue from Main
street to Atoc church and thence
down Third avenue and back to Main
street; from the intersection of Lee
ford street; South down Crawford to
College street; Sixth avenue from
Main street to Atoc church and
thence down Third avenue and back
to Main street; from the intersection
of Lee and Crawford streets down
Crawford to Oak, thence two blocks
and west to Stonewall street.
The proposed extension had been
measured, he said, and an engineer
ing firm to whom the figures were
submitted had estimated that the cost
would be 81, 1925, including 1925 for
fire MIGRANTS.
Property Owners to Pay Part.
A motion was made that in the
event the streets are paved property
owners on each side be required to
pay one-third of the expense and the
city the other third. Action was de-
ferred until it can be determined
whether it would be safe to lay pave
ment over the present water mains
in Lee and Main streets, and also to
take up with a firm who might be
awarded the contract proposition of
disposing of the notes of property
owners for their part of the cost.
Permission to Assemble Hogs.
Permission was granted Lowrey e.
Davidson to assemble hogs in lot
adjoining their warehouse, the hogs
to be shipped Immediately when
sufficient number has been secured
for carload. The premises must
be kept sanitary, and no hogs kept
more than ten days.

Then the young plants will have
plenty of nourishment close at hand to
give them a good start, and the roots
will find more waiting for them as
they burrow in all directions through
the earth.
Nitrate of soda is a fertilizer that
acts almost Immediately and is used
chiefly for foliage plants and where
quick growth is wanted. It is a fine
stimulant for rhubarb asparagus,
spinach and kale.
LIQUID manure (water in which
stable manure has been soaked) may
be used in much the same fashion as
nitrate of soda, but for all products.
1t is easily made by filing a cheese
cloth bag with fresh manure and sus-
pending it in a tub or barrel of water.
The chances are your garden, If II
has long remained idle, is sour. II
needs lime to sweeten it and thus
make the plant food in the soil avail

Five bushels Of lime will be all that

needs. You can tell If your soil is
sour by purchasing a nickel's worth OF
blue litmus paper and experiment in
several parts of the garden Take some
moist soil and cover piece of the
paper. If it retains its blue hue the
soil is sweet; if it turns red get some

POINTERS GIVEN ON sPADrNG AN D FERTILIZATION

Third Of series Of articles on how
to run your own garden, what and
when to plant, how to plant II and
care for IT,.
BY A GARDENER.
The soil in the average backyard is
not only lacking in plant food but has
been packed until it is hard and I'M
yielding. To make the soil suitable for
garden produce requires careful at
tention.
After spading deeply, being careful
to push the spade down as far as it
will go. the upper three inches should
be made fine with hoe and rake.
Stones ana rubbish should be removed
and all Jumps should be broken up the
depth Of the spade It's the tiny roots
OF the plant that gives the yield and
these rootlets cannot force them
selves through Jumps.
Barnyard or stable manure is the
best fertilizer. It furnishes both plant
food and humus The manure is best
when we'll rotted. and is better when
mixed with straw than with sawdust.
The straw will rot quicker under
ground To obtain quick action l
spread a thilFiayer of well rotted man
ure after / have spaded, and work II
in with hoe and rake.
If you have or can get wood ashes
sprinkle them over the garden before
you rake IT,
II your soil is sandy the wood ashes
will supply the potash needed. II is
better to get your fertilizer Or you
can't get stable manure) already
mixed. Tell the scotsman what kind
OF soil you have, clay, loan, sandy,
and ask his advice regarding fertilizer.
Probably the best way to use com
mercial fertilizer is to scatter most of
il broadcast and to rake it in lightly,
reserving a little to use in the hills
and rows as you SOW or transplant.

.ESCHEW CAY easter
RAIMENT IN CHICAGO
Rv The limited Press.

BY The United Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Easter
Sunday 1917. will be remarkable for
the fact that its observance in San
Francisco churches did not consist of
a fashion show for the main attrac-
ton and divine services as an excuse.
IL a movement started in Chicago and
taken up in San Francisco is carried
out.
A coterie of girl members Of a Chris
tian Endeavor Society in Chicago
started the idea when they decided
to keep their fancy Easter bonnets
and their new spring clothes in the
dark recesses of the family trunk on
Easter Day and to devote themselves
to the spiritual and not the decidedly
material form of worship. In San Fran
cisco the Rev. J. H. Barney, of the
California street church, made the
first step when he requested that the
choir OF his church, which is to render
elaborate Easter music, come in sim
pie raiment, just to set a good exam
pie for the congregation.

lime.
Drainage OF the land is important
Il should have sufficient fall to drain
off surplus water during a rain and yet
not so steep that the soil be washed
away.
The surface should be nearly level
so the water will not stand in hollows.
Where the natural slope of the land
does not provide sufficient drainage.
bitches may be dug or tile drain put
in.
In my garden there was low spot
in which the water would accumulate
after rain and drown out the plants
If hadn't dug a deep hole right in the
middle of It and filled it to within rs
inches of the surface with big cilnkers,
bricks, etc. which provides an escape
for all surplus water.
Don't begin to spade until the frost
is out of the ground, and the ground
well dried.
Heavy soils. especially, should never
be spaded while wet.
To determine when heavy clay soil
is ready for the spade a handful OF
earth should be collected from the
surface and the fingers tightly closed
on it. II the ball of compact earth is
| dry enough for cultivation. II will fall
apart when the hand is opened.
Don't burn or throw away any OF
the weeds, leaves. straw. grass upon
the plot. Spade It under, thus supply
ing the soil with humus. Sod is fine
turned under.
Remember that If you use CONNER
cial fertilizer alone you must add hu
mus, leaves, grass, sod. etc. to supply
the humus. which is already present
in stable manure.
(The gardener will tell In hls
next article, tomorrow, what kinds
Of seeds are best, and when and
how to sow them).

A Coated Tongue ? = What it Means
(BY On. L. G. BABCOCKD

The liver acts as a guard over Our
well-being, sitting out the cinders and
ashes from the general circulation.
A blockade in the intestines piles
a heavy burden upon the liver. II
the intestines are choked or clogged
up, the circulation OF the blood be-
comes poisoned and the system
becomes loaded with toxic waste,
and we suffer from headache, yellow
coated tongue, bad taste in mouth,
nausea, or gas, acid dyspepsia, lam
guor, debility, yellow skin or eyes.
At such times one should take q
pleasant laxative. Such a one is
made of May-apple, leaves of aloe
and put into ready-to-use form by
DR.. Pierce, nearly fifty years ago,
and sold by all druggists as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
When rundown, when life indoors
has brought about a stagnant con-
dition in the circulation-most every
one is filed with uric acid. This
uric acid in the blood often causes
rheumatism, lumbago, swelling OF
hands OF feet, or a bag-like condition
under the eyes. Backache, frequent
urination or the pains and stiffness
of the Joints and high blood-pressure
are also often noticed. have found
that Anuric, double or triple strength,
is an antidOte for this uric acid
poison and that it will rid the body
OF uric. acid much as hot watel
dissolves sugar.
