Rheumatism is more than akin deep— it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can on ly be reached by constitutional treatment— IT C A N N O T UK RUBBED A W A Y . Rheumatism is due to an excess o f uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter w hich the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and K idneys, have failed to carry off. This rtfuse matter, com in g in contact with the different acids of the body, form s uric acid which is absorlied into the blood and distributed to all parts o f tne body, and Rheum atism gets possession o f the system Tile aches and pnins are on ly sym ptom s, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time b y surface treatment, they w ill reappear at t'.i. first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion >r .her irregularity. Rheum a tism can never be permanently cured while ,lu lrculation remains saturated with irritating, pain producing uric acid poison. The disease w ill shift from m uscle to m uscle or join t to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and sw elling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becom e» deformed and crippled for life.

The city council met in adjourned session last Monday evening for the purpose of fixing the tax levy for the coming year and the transaction of oth er important business. The fixing of the tax levy brought un quite an ani mated discussion, indulged in by all the members of the body anti the outsiders present putting in a word occasionally. The councilmen went at the matter in a purely business way, figuring up all known expenses, and also taking into consideration what might have to he lealt with if certain contingencies should arise. There was not a man on the hoard but what expressed himself as desirous of putting the levy as low as pnepihle. They were aware, however, and bore it in mind, that they had about approached the limit provided by the charter as far as indebtedness—other than bonding—was concerned, and that the levy would have to be made high enough to cover the actual working expenses of a growing city, and have something for incidentals that are con stantly arising, as spoken of in our last issue. It was found that 8 mills would just about do the business, ami it was so voted with but one dissenting voice, that of Councilman VanOrsdel, who did not want it so high, yet offered no plan of getting out of it. As a matter of fact, the levy should have been higher in order to give* sufficient leeway for the carrying on of improvements already started, and the prediction of the I tern - izer is that the end**of next year will again find the city without sufficient funds to liquidate its bills. The routine work was as follows: All were present with tho exception of Councilman Stafrin. The auditor was ordered to notify the Weinhart estate to immediately build a cement walk in front of the ice plant, ns ordered some time since. Rev. Young appeared before the coun cil and on behalf of the residents of Fir Park asked for two lights in that dis trict, one at the Davis grocery st >re and one at the Barham cor er. No action was taken. A warrant for $25 was ordered drawn to pav the interest on the remaining city hall bond of $1000. The marshal was instructed to have the water company fix the holes in the streets where they had made connec tions. A resolution was passed providing for the levying of an 1 and 7-10 mill special tax for tin* purpose of paying the inter est on the water bonds and for the cre ation of a sinking fund. A resolution was also passed provid ing for a general tax levy for 1908 of 0 and 3-10 mills, of which \ mill i* to be applied to the support of the free libra- IV. The marshal was instructed to move Mr. Cllrey’s walk on Ash street to the lines laid down upon the ofticiu, plat. The marshal was instructed to remove the tree in front of Judge Collins’ prop erty near tin* postoftice and to have the hoard walk there widened. Certain parties were cited to appear in regard to laying new walks. ------------------------- * • « . --------------------------- | Concord, Uppar Halt Creek, Enterprise, I Pioneer.
