FAYETTE
ST. JOB IS
AWARDED

Contract for the pavement Of Fayeste
street with asphalt on the macadam
base was let to the United Construction
Company this morning by the Hammond
Board of Works. Bids had also been
received from the Campbell Construc-
ton Company. and Shea & Co. but the
figures OF the United Construction Co.
s17.s11.56. were over $500 lower than
the low bid OF the Campbell Co. It is
planned to start the work at once and
the contractor promises an agreeable
surprise in the repidity with which tho
job will be completed
Bids were also received on the pro-
posed pavement for Summer st. and
l50th st. The United Construction Co
and the Campbell Construction Co. pre-
scented bids on both pavements. which
were referred to the city engineer for
checking with the estimates. OpposI-
ton had developed to the 150th ST pro-
ject, but It is believed the majority Of
those Directing will be satisfied with
the pavement selected. as the board has
three types to choose from
Two bids were fled for the new side
walk on Brunswick st. The letting of
the contract has been laid over until
Saturday afternoon when q special meet
ing will be held
No remonstrances were filed against
the pavement of State st. and 100 ST. so
bids will be advertised for this work.
some objection had been raised against
the location of the street car tracks on
State st, as they are north of the center
line of the street However it was
pointed out that moving the tracks TO
the center OF the street would place
them over the sewer. which results in
broken manhols castings and also makes
cleaning pf the sewers difficult and
dangerous 10 the men because Of pass

WHEN TO GATHER
ROOTS AND HERBS

For medicinal purposes, roots and
herbs should be gathered when their
medicinal properties are at their best.
For instance. roots OF annual plants
should be dug just before their flower
Ing season. and roots OF biennial or
perennial plants after the tops have
dried. All these things are taken into
consideration in gathering the roots
and herbs. many tons OF which are used
annually in preparing that most sue
,essful OF all remedies fer woman's ills.

STOP HEADACHE
REMOVE CAUSE
Your Money Back While You
Wait at Counter If Aspire
nal Elixir Does Not Relieve
in Two Minutes.

You can save half an hour or more
OF headache pain by taking the new
Aspironal Elixir instead of the slow
acting tablets that have to wait so
long TO be digested and absorbed. As
pironal being liquid acts almost in
stantly and is preferred by the doc
tors for the reason that II is not Ian
gerous to the heart.
The next time you have a headache
go to your nearest drug store, hand tho
clerk half a dollar for q bottle Of As
pironal and tell him to serve you one
or two teaspoonsful according to Sc
verify, In a little water or your favorite
soda fountain drink. With your watch
In your hand count off two minutes
and call for yong money back, as per
manufacturers guarantee, II you can't
feel your headache fading away within
the time limit.
Doctors recommend and druggists
guarantee Aspironal because they know
1t acts so much quicker, without the
slightest danger to the heart, and be-
cause 1t removes the cause Of bilious
and sick headaches by its gentle ac-
ton on the liver. Aspironal corrects
|billousness and constipation thereby
preventing the return Of your head
ache next day. All druggists invite and
expect you to try Aspironal, so don't
be bashful. Everybody is doing 1t.
Same guarantee applies to colds, coughs
and neuralgia. adv.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is n sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and
that is to dissolve 1t. This destroys
it entirely, To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub 1t in gently with the finger tips,
By morning, most II not all, OF your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have,
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, gossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. II is Inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
TO fail. adv.
