Citu Will Haze Good Credit
Balance Remaining at End of
Present Fiscal Year Sept. I.

OF appropriations totalling $751;
$40 made by the city of Grand Forks
for the fiscal year ending August 81.
1919, the balance in the city treasury
on August last was $23,412.24, ac-
cording to the monthly report of the
condition of the city appropriations
made public today by City Auditor w.
H. Alexander.
Since the average monthly expendi-
ture of the city at the present ime is
in the neighborhood of. $4,000 per
month, the indications are that there
will be a credit balance of several
thousand dollars in the hands of the
city treasurer on September 1.
Up to August l three city depart
ments have reported o%verdrafts
amounting to $220.17. In each case
this is due to an unexpected strain put
on the resources of the department
during the last year.
The health department had to meet
heavy bills as a result of the influenza
epidemic, Delay in the arrival of the
new electric. pump put the water and
light station'to extra expense for coal,
and the bridge department was put to
a large expense for the replanking of
the Minnesota Point bridge.
The overdrafts will be more than
covered by the credit balances of the
other city departments.

An Hcid-stomach cannot digest food
properly. Instead, the food sours and
ferments and, passing into the intes-
tines, becomes breeding place for
countless millions of deadly germs
toxic poisons they are called. These
pofsons are absorbed into the system
and cause untold misery. So, you see,
1t is just acid-stomach, nothing else
that makes so many people weak, list
less and unfit; saps their strength and
energy; robs them of their vigor and
vitality. Biliousness, bad liver, nerv-
BUSINESS, binding, splitting headaches,
rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica-these
and many other still more serious all

Admittedly the strongest of the col =
lege teams last season and with crews
of equal strength and form this year.
the event, though so early, is one of
the most notable of the whole intercol
legiate season. There will be three
separate races.
The Navy plebes and Penn freshmen
started the program. getting off at 4
o'clock. About twenty minutes later
the Navy and Penn second crews will
try conclusions. and the way will be
cleared for the big event, the represen
tative crews of the two institutions.
The course will be the Henley distance
of mile and $50 yards, and is laid off
above the railroad bridge over the
Severn, the start being up the river.
1t is considerably brighter than yes
