City' Council is Told of Tax

Board Action on Local Pe

tition.

Announcement that' the RbitA tar

board had approved the issuing of bonds by Richmond, to buy ground for two new school buildings, was made at city council meeting Monday -night by Superintendent of Schools

J. H. Bentley. Bentley Bald the city attorney and the school board attorney had agreed that the school authorities did not need council's approval for the issuance of bonds, but that when the contracts were drawn, he would come before council and ask Its approval. Two Improvement ordinances, one providing for a sidewalk along North A street, and the other for the paving of South Fourth street from Main to A, referred to council, from the board of works, were up for discussion. Ordinance Tabled. The North A street ordinance was quickly tabled, but after a discussion between John Zwlssler, a propertyowner who objected making the improvement now, and the mayor and several members of council, Itw as decided to wait until the next meeting to vote on the ordinance for the Improvement of South Fourth. The mayor said he thought that the ordinance should pass, as he believed that money invested in tern? porary Improvements by the city was practically thrown awav. Th ma

jority of council appeared to be with him, Zwlssler and Charles Zuttermeister, another property owner, said that the burden of the improvement would all upon five or six property owners along the street, and that they believed the city should repair the street and wait for lower prices, before imposing the burden of the improvement on them. Announces Mass Meeting. Councilman Von Peln reported that the committees appointed by the mayor to consider a. hnm vrnm n o- r-ol.

ebration, had decided to call a, mass meeting for June 7, and that they had decided Labor day or another early fall date would be better than July 4, j for the celebration. i Councilman Thatcher, of tho niav-i

ground committee, said that his com- ;

mittee natt turned the playgrounds over -to the Boy Scouts, as the city had no money to keep them up. It was decided to auction off stalls In the city market, for this year's marketing. An ordinance providing for the transfer of about $9,000 from the city wage fund of the street department to the ash-collection fund, was passed under suspension of the rules. Complaint was , made by Councilmen Thatcher and Ford about the stoppage of two fountains, one at Eighteenth and North C and the other on South C. Councilman Golden said that the motormen on city Btreet cars had a habit of leaving their cars in motion to turn on signal lamps at 22nd street, and he said this was a dangerous practice.

friatlonal Crop Improvement Service. SURROUNDING nearly every factory In America, last year, war gardens sprang up like magic. The amateur gardeners argue loud and long as to whether or not scientific agriculture is "any good." Nearly all of the Waukegan employees of the American Steel and Wire company treated their potatoes for scab with formaldehyde, and some of them grew the scabbiest potatoes you ever saw. Of course they immediately said that the treatment was no

good and they hopped Dr. H. E. Hot ton about it. He found on investigation that potatoes had been planted in soil which had produced scabby potatoes the year before. "No amount of seed treatment," said the doctor, "will prevent scabby potatoes If the bacteria is present in the soil. It's too bad that these fellows did not know about It, so I want to warn everybody that while the formaldehyde treatment Is all right, don't plant potatoes where the scab has been, and don't bring fresh manure onto the plot In the spring. "Moreover, tell them to be careful not to treat the potatoes after they are cut, because they will likely Injure the germination. Use one pint of fullstrength formaldehyde in thirty gallons of water and don't soak them too long. "I know the books say two hours, but Dr. W. A. Orton, who is in charge of this kind of work at Washington and knows his business, says that thirty minutes Is enough."

No one knows better than the ever-watchful mother the natural doctor of the family in all the small Ula that when the baby is out of sorts it is usually due to indigestion or constipation. It is always well. In any of its illnesses, to took for this cause. The diet may have to be changed, but before good can result from It, the bowels must be moved. The mother has the choice of many medicines -cathartics, purgatives, bitter-waters, pills, physics, etc But the little body doesn't need such harsh remedies for they wrench the system and do only temporary good, so often followed by an unpleasant reaction.

A better plan is to employ a mild, gentle laxative of whioji only a little is required. There is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin told by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that thousands of mothers have usd successfully for baby's constipation and its accompanying ills, such as belching, wind colic, restlessness, sleeplessness, etc The nursing mother will also find it Ideal for herself, and it is especially important that she be free from constipation. Syrup Pepsin is guaranteed to do as promised or the druggist will refund the money. Thousands of cautious families have it ia the house, secure against the little ills.

Own Your Own

the

en-

As soon as the birds have chosen their mates in the Spring, they eagerly set about their home building. No bird family in good standing would think of being without a home of its own. And no father bird questions for an instant his ability to provide one.

We can all learn a lesson from

birds. Every human family is

titled to a home of its own is as able to have one as the birds. Anyone who can pay rent can pay for a home. Most homes are bought the same way as the family piano or talking machine a few dollars down and a few dollars monthly. What a lot of fun we should have missed if we had not been able and willinp; to nav as

we play ! And it's just as true of homes. We can have all the joy of "owning our own" while paying for it.

-?JtlljlljCTio; h

Finding the right place for the home is the first step. It should be in or near Richmond, close to transportation, fronted with paved . streets, linked with gas, water and electricity in line with the march of progress. Hundreds of such home-sites in and around Richmond are beckoning to the home-seeker. Go and look them over. Pick out the home of your dreams, even if you don't buy it now. Buy it in your mind. Today is a very good time to begin your home buying. The Richmond realty dealer never had so

many attractive home offerings. He is telling about them nearly every day in THE PALLA- , DIUM. Start your home search here
