The plaintiff had noticed that the rain of Monday had formed Ice on the sidewalk, and walked carefully. She could not avoid the ice by going into the roadway. It does not appear that there was such a general formation of ice on the city sidewalks that there would have been any difficulty in sanding the ice in this place. l find that the plaintiffs injuries were due to the negligence of the city In failing to sand the Ice within a reason able time, and that the plaintiff used due care.
 The plaintiff used reasonable care in attempting a cure.

He will not jeopardize his reputation by commend ing a thing without first assuring him. self it is all right. His word carries as much weight in the home, on the street, or in the public prints as in the pulpit.
