Health and Good Looks !
Kitchen work has a lot to do with health and good looks. A woman
cannot work overtime In a furnace-llte kitchen, with a wood range In
hot weather without paying the penalty.
The drudgery, the long hours, the extreme heat, the smoke and ashes,
will cut down her energy and matae her prematurely old. In face and
form. ,. '' .'' , ' ... .. .
This Is a fact that cannot be disputed and all of us can call to mind '
many examples. Every, woman who cooks Is entitled to an electric
range, and) she gets one, too, where the man of the hous bag her
welfare at heart xv v.. ';,.'.. ,'
An electrie range means a cool, clean kitchen, a fire without a mln.
nte'g wait that Can be regulated with a thumb-screw meals In half
the time and no fuel to handle or ashes to contend with.
Our special rate to users of our electric ranges, make, them as econ
omical to nse as wood. Ask about them. ';

Suit Is Threatened.
; J. H. Peare served notice on the
council that he would institute pro
ceedings to recover $1,000 damages
said to. have been sustained because
his properiy was Inaccessible during
the present summer in .East addition
because the city sewer so obstructs a i
strip of land connecting the land with 1
Adams avenue, that a man cannot
cross It. In his communication to the
council Mr. Peare pointed out how
the city could remedy thig obstruction
but in th8 event that It . was not
changed as , requested, proceedings
would be commenced. The ; matt r
was, referred to the clly attorney.

Sidewalks Discussed.
s August 16th th date t't for har-!
ing remonstrances on Fir and North
Fir streets. Second and H. street
committees were given more time to
report. Attorney Turner Oliver pre
sented the council with a suggestion
that the grading on the Fourth street
hill be done at one time and not re
quire the property owners to make th
deep fills thre and then later hava
the entire hill graded. In some places
the wooden sidewalk Is far above the
surface of the ground and must be
brought down to proper grade before
the cement walks are built. It was
the opinion of the council that' Mr.
Oliver's suggestions be adhered to and
j also that Mrs. Anson's and similarly
located walks be not Included in the
proposed improvements. Mr. Anson's
walks are in fine repair and almost
exactly on grade, but will be torn out
next year. 1 ' , ' ' ' , .
Kxl ordinance defining more clearly
what constitutes a nuisance, and aim
ed at careless property owners who
piple- various odds and ends in their
alley, was read and passed with an
emergency clause. , '

About one cent per lineal foot
frontage is the amount the city will
allow property owners who supply
water for construction of the cement
wakfl In front of their property.
The report of J. L. Jones, special
sewer Inspector was read and shows
that he has kept close tab and has
found occasional Joints of sewer pipe
that had to be rejected. There had
been 105 Buch rejections when the re
port was made out. 'Bids were re
ceived for the construction of cement
walks and curbing in Connerdale. The
two bids presented were by C. T. Dar
ley whose bid amounted to about $9,
613.13 while the Smith Construction
company" wa8 represented by a bid of
about the same nature. The bids were
referred. "-'
The construction , of board side
walks on S avenue were also bid in,
L. P. Oesterllng offering , to do the
work for 29 cents per Hnal foot. John
L. Mars offered to build his own walk
for $1 per lineal foot, using cement
Instead of board walks. 1
