CITY COUNCIL MEETS
PICKETT HALF Way
FIX DEFINITE AMOUNT TO AS
SESS PROPERTY OWNERS FOR
PAVING. NO REFERENDUM.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held yesterday afternoon to
consider letter from Representative
Pickett in which he stated that he
would not introduce the proposed
amendment to the city charter en-
powering the mayor and council to
assess abutting property owners for
paving because no definite amount
the property owner would be reuuir-
ed to pay was stated. Mr.. Pickett
also took the position that as the
present charter was adopted by a
vote of the people the proposed
amendment should be referred to
them for ratification.
The council decided to withdraw
the bill that was sent to the repre-
sentative and substitute new one
providing property owners on each
side may be assessed one-third for
street paving, the city to pay the 9TH
er one-third. They declined, however,
to assent to the proposition that the
amendment be referred to a vote of
the people.
What Mr.. Pickett's attitude will
be toward the whole matter in it's
present shape by action of the coun-
Gil is not known.

EVERY DISPATCH IS A CALL
TO WOMEN FOR SERVICE
They Have a Vital Part in Relieving
The Suffering of the Men Who
Are Wounded in Battle.


Are Wounded in Battle.
Each dispatch that brings news to
Dawson from the battle lines is a dis
tinct call to service to the women of
our community. We know that to
win the victories that rejoice our
hearts has called for the supreme
sacrifice of many Americans. Others
are wounded and in need of surgical
attention. The women of America
have vital part in relieving the suf-
fering, as the physicians and nurses
look to them to keep up the supply
of surgical dressings. Are you help
ing the faithful ones who have been
untiring in their efforts to accom-
plish the task assigned them? To
complete the allotment for this month
more workers are sadly needed. The
work will be carried on every day
this week at the club house and those
in charge beseech you in the name
of humanity to lend a hand. You
would be swift to heed the call if
you knew that the dressing were
needed to staunch the good red blood
OF one of your very own.

WHAT CATAURH IS

Science has Shown thatnasaI catarrh
often indicates a general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snufs and vapors only irritate
and do little # any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
1t is helping thousands. Try it.

doubles the beauty. of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking a small
strand at a time. The effect is i'm
mediate and amaZing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have an appearance of abundance ;

of true hair health.
Get a small bottle of Knowleton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injur-
