tion company of their indebtedness to the city for pavink and macadamizing North Fifth street and Richmond avenue, but although these statements have been sent, several times, no notification of the intention of the company to pay the sums due the city has been received. The amounts total about $1,500. Contracts let, streets and alleys, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, occupied the attention of the board was the petition for a cement alley from C and E street, running from Southwest .Third street south of the National Road. , West Main street will be widened at Fifth and Main streets. This stree will be bricked. ' It was desired by the board of works that the street be made straight, cutting off twenty feet to the north and adding about 10 feet to the property on the south. This was not satisfactory to the property owners. Emil Minck dedicated a corner of ground on the northwest corner, twenty feet wide, and about one hundred feet long, grading down to the street line to the west. The board then decided to cut off seven feet of the southwest corner of Fifth and Main streets, making a broad turn at this corner, where street cars and interurbans make the turn. The street will cut about ten feet into the property line on the south side of the street, from Main and Fifth streets west. A protest against this step Is expected. The board advised that owners of property in an alley running from Eighth to Ninth streets between G and H streets, get up a petition asking for a fifteen-foot cement alley, the remaining space of the wide, thirty foot allay to be filled with gravel. A resolution was passed for a thortyfoot graveled street on South C street from Fifteenth to Sixteenth street, with cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Cement sidewalks on North West First street from the first alley south of Railroad street to Richmond avenue were decided on. Cement sidewalks on both sides of South Tenth street from C to E were ordered. The board approved a lease upon the city light plant offices on Mair street for five years at J55 per month, to be dated from March 1, 1912. The lease for the two lots at Eleventh and Main street to be used for market purposes was also approved. The rental for the year is $50. Supt. N. II. Johnson was given authority to buy poles for the Glen. The poles are to be used to string up the tungsten lights. The light plant will pay for the poles and the city will pay for installing them. Contract for public improvements were let this morning. The cement alley from Main to Sailor street between Eighth and Ninth street went to D. Burkhardt, at 11 cents per square foot. A. F. Hoot en secured the South Sixteenth street job. Sidewalks are to be placed on the east side from Main to E street and on the west side from Main to A street, and from B to E street. Curbs and gutters are to be placed on both sides. After the board had awarded the contract for the improvement of North Fourth street to Daniel Burkhardt it
discovered the Foster construction j company had made the lowest bid. i ,The Foster company was then given' the contract I

Gaar, petition for an order to make an option to sell 130 shares of the M. Rumely company common stock has been approved by Judge Henry C. Fox. Edward Rumely of the head of the Rumely company desires the option of the stock. Mary H.

Bladel resides in Cambridge City.
Washington and the Artists. "Writing to a friend May 16, 17S5, Washington thus described his experience with portrait painters: "I am so hackneyed, to the touches of the painter's pencil that I am now altogether at their beck and sit like patience on a monument while they are delineating the lines of my face. It Is a proof among many others of what habit and custom can efject. At first I was ns Impatient of the request and as restive under the operation as a colt Is of the saddle. The next time I submitted very reluctantly, but with less flouncing. Now no dray moves more readily to the thrill than I do to the painter's chair."
MESSENGER BOY HIT
DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By DR. T. J. ALLEN Food Specialist COMPLETE RATION FOR STUDENT. A student asks advice as to the value of entire wheat bread and olive oil as a complete ration for one doing strenuous study. Wheat contains all the elements of nutrition in nearly perfect proportion for the adult, except fat, which would bs supplied by the oil, a pound and a half of bread and two ounces of olive oil being sufficient for one doing average physical and mental work. It Is generally understood that entire cereal bread and butter constitute a perfect ration, and fresh olive oil is not inferior to butter, but there Is an objection to the mixing of fat with starches and protelds from the fact that It prevents the access of the digestive Juices in mouth and stomach, so the ration is not Improved by adding olive oil, although In the case mentioned the existence of constipation makes the use of olive oil beneficial, but It should be taken separately for the best results. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that a better balanced ration Is supplied by wheat or corn than In the ordinary random diet, so that one who wishes to adopt such a diet, for health, efficiency or economy and these are Intimately associated need not hesitate to do so, with the assurance of Improvement In every respect. Of course, the bread should not be fresh, and It should be thoroughly masticated.

' HIGH PRICED PEACHES. The Ones They Had In London, Per haps, but Not In New York. They walked into the breakfast roon at one ot the big New York hotels tuother day finicky, precise and quer ulous. They had just returned frou a tour of Europe and gave tbat coati nent the big talk at every chance. "Have you no South Africa i peaches?" they asked plaintively. "Y hare been stopping at the Savoy ii London, and there were plenty v: South African peaches." The hotel manager was found. II
hastened to the complaining ones
Certainly the hotel bad South Africa i peaches. They were imported espf dally for the hotel guests; came frou the same peach orchard tbat the Su Toy's peaches did. The faces of tin traveled persons did not light up win Joy and appreciation, as one wouii think. "How much are they?" they asfcw with a singular timidity. Three dollars each," said the bott manager. The traveled persons prom pi ly protested. "But we only paid ha v. $2.50 for them at the Savoy." sni they. The hotel manager express-) his regret at the overcharge. He sah they might have them at the saun price that they paid at the Savoy li London, and how many would the. like to have? "Haw, Alfred." said one of the plniu tlve traveled persons to the other plaintive traveled person, "let us bavt hawone of those deah old fawshlon ed breakfasts of ham and eggs." "Right, old dear," said Alfred. The hotel manager went away grinning softly to himself. He bad never bad any peaches from South Africa. Cincinnati Times-Star.
POSTAL PUZZLES.
They Were Easy Reading For Uncle Sam's Clever Officials. A letter witti the addressee's face roughly drawn on the envelope and the iwords "Baltimore. Md.." following wasn't too great a puzzle for the men who decipher mail addresses for Un cle Sam. The letter was sent from Clarksburg, VV. Va.. by J. M. Crouch When it reached the Baltimore post office the postmaster said It had to be delivered. Several of the experts were puzzling over how that trick could bt turned when the mail carrier in whost district a big hotel is walked up to n group around the man holding the let ter and said. "Why. that's Sam Eloo ver, chief clerk of the hotel." And it was for Sam, who opened it and learned that his friend wished to en gage a room for that night. When Crouch arrived at the hotel the room was ready for him. About twenty years ago a European peasant mailed on the other side of the Atlantic a letter the envelope of which bore this sort of address: IIANS SIEGLICH. First House In America. It was easy for New York postofBce men. the first house in America to Immigrants being Castle Garden, where they were then received. In Castle Garden Hans was found without delay. New York Press.
Shakespeare as an Actor. Shakespeare once played the ghost In bis own "Hamlet." A younger brother of the dramatist in describing the event said that he wore "a long beard and appeared so weak and drooping and unable to walk that he was forced to be supported and carried by another person to a table, at which he was seated among some company." In "As You Like It" Avon's bard assumed the role of Adam, the old servant, in whom was represented "the constant service of the antique world" and who was "not for thi fashions of these times."
THE BEST DAY. One of the illusions is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in thfj year. Emerson.
Shakespeare's Education. Shakespeare could not have been an educated man, that is, in the aeademk sense of the word, for he was a mere youth when he went to London from Stratford and had had. up to that time only such mental training as he could pick up in the schools of his natlv town. It nowhere appears that he at tended school after leaving Stratford And yet, as Matthew Arnold says. h lived during his London residence "ir a current of ideas In the highest degre animating and nourishing to the crea tive faculty in a society permeated bj fresh thought. Intelligent and alive." And he used not only the Ideas which ho imbibed as they floated around him, but all the learning he could pick up without neglecting his calling. Ne York American.
