PLANS FOR SEA WALL.
Dredge Atlas to Clear Channel Front
ing Lincoln Memorial.

To work ION the new sea wall in
front of the Lincoln memorial the
dredge Atlas will this week be brought
to the Georgetown channel from the
Eastern branch. where she has been
employed for several weeks. Recently
large area of fats in the channel in
front of the memorial was reclaimed
and brought well above the high
water mark. 1t now is proposed to
put neat stone sea wall about this re-
claimed area, which is to be parked to
give the Lincoln memorial proper
setting on its river side.
The portion of the river taken in had
only a foot or two of water over it on
ordinary tides, and the line of the new
wall will straighten out a kink in the
Georgetown channel wall on it's north
side. The Atlas will be employed on
this work for several weeks

September Again.

Once again September's smiling
in a manner most beguiling, once
again she brings refreshment to
the jaded human jays who have
suffered through season that was
hot beyond all reason, that was
but a combination of a lot of siz-
zling DAYS. As when one who's
lost. forsaken, suffering for bed
and bacon, sees a lighted cottage
window that invites him to repose,
so a delegate or member looks
upon the mild September. which,
with her refreshing GOODNESS, is a
balm for all his woes. BY the heat
of summer smitten, by the flies
and skeeters bitten, man is. at the
end of August, near the limit of
his nerve; then September comes
serenely, after months that soaked
him neanly; he would load her
down with posies. he adrnires her
every curve She is like drink
OF water to the wanderers who
totter on LIES long and dusty
highway. with their feet and
bosonS sore: she is like a slice of

Washington's garbage collections are
falling off heavily. This is shown by
figures compiled by the food admins
tration for ifty-nine cities of the
country including Washington.
In July, 1916. there were 5,314 tons
of garbage collected in the capital.
while in July, 1917. there were but

of those for the previous July.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY. RECOGNIZED
Applieaats for Insurance. Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such q
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer l. Co., Binghamton, N. T., for =
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Uncle Josh Was Great.

1t has been long time since an
entertainment has been put on at the
Grand that pleased more than did
by Cal Stewart, the "Uncle Josh" of
the one put on last Thursday night
monograph fame, assisted by Gypsy
Rossini and her violin, and Margie
Stewart, coincidence and pianist.
They gave a two hour entertainment
to a crowded house, and everybody
was kept in a humorous frame of
mind all evening. Uncle Josh is
sure some story teller and knows
how. Gypsy Rossini and her violin
was an attraction in herself, while
Margie Stewart, the popular little
comedienne won the hearts Of the
audience Taken all in all it was a
dandy entertainment, and those in
strumental in securing it are to be
congratulated. 1t was for the bene-
fit of St. Benedict's new Catholic
church, and a neat sum of money was
realized.

but the tendency of the times being
to incorporate all banking institu-
lions, the management displayed ex-
.cellent judgment in taking this step.
The Citizens Bank commenced
business April 1, 1901, as a co-part-
nership consisting of r. w. Ander-
son, G. F. Gunderson, A. T. Gunder-
son and c. NJ. Anderson, with u. J.
Klein as cashier. After the death Of
A. T. Gunderson, August 26, 1908,
his interest was acquired by NJ. ].

Quick Work by Fire Department.


There is no question but that
Chief Theo. Olson has a mighty good
fire department in DEBORAH. When
it comes to getting out to a fire few
paid departments with horse or auto
apparatus get to a fire much quick
er. Last Thursday night an alarm
was turned in from the Rock Island
depot. Fred Schrubbe was on his
way home about eleven o'clock and
observed smoke issuing from a re-
frigerator car near the depot. An in.
vestigation proved the car on fire,
and in less than ten minutes the de-
partment was at work putting out
the fire, which caught from a char
coal heater in the car which had
fruit shipped in to DEBORAH that
night. The fire was put out before
very much damage was done to the
car, and the fire boys are certainly
deserving of all kinds of credit for
their good work We don't believe
that any town has more faithful
department than DEBORAH and Chief
Olson and every man in it are to be
commended for their efficient work

Salad Dressing,

An Italian chef derides the Ameri-

mart of the oil and vinegar is left i'll
the bottom OF the dish. His method
is to put the Sc lad in the bowl and,
turning the leaves with one hand,
cover them slowly with oil with the
other until every leaf glistens. He
then seasons them with salt and
pepper, adds few drops of vinegar
gives 4 last stir and serves his salad
at once. -

Schimming's Sale Successful.

Jno. Schimming was more than
pleased with his one-cent sale put on
this month. Hundreds of people
patronized it and all were more than
pleased with the big bargains they
got. One item he sold, that went
like hot cakes was coffee. He had
in the neighborhood of 1900 pounds
and by Saturday morning it was all
gone. 1t was sold two pounds for
80 cents. Other lines of goods were
cleaned out in the same way, and
although he had an immense stock
Of different items many of them were
entirely sold out.
