May Take Over Water Plant. Whether or not the city of Daven port should own and maintain the city water plant and whether it would work a great benefit to the city ad ministration by reason of the profits returned therefrom, is the moment ous question with which the city council is at present wrestling. Dis cussion of the proposition was pre cipitated yesterday before a commit tee of the whole meeting when the fact that the franchise of the com pany expires in 1914 was brought before the body and when the com pany s petition lor a renewal for a period of 25 years was broached. The city granted the company a franchise on June 5, 1889, for a per iod of 25 years and this is soon to expire. The franchise on which the water company is now under operation pro vides among other things that the city has the right to take over the plant at the end of the 25 years if it so desires, providing, of course, that sufficient notice is given of this pro posed assumption of ownership. Ac cording to the tetms of the franchise, the city has but about six months yet in which to give this notice. Graduating Exercises.

It is impossible for the sore to heal while the blood is in this impure state. S. 8. 8. heals old sores because it la the greatest of all blood purifiers; it goes into the circulation and removes the cause from the blood. When the blood has been purified there is no longer any inflam matory impurity or infectious matter to irritate the place, and nature causes a certain and natural healing of the ulcer. It is all well enough to endeavor to cleanse an old sere, or stop the Itching, or absorb the discharge, with external applications, but a cure can never be reached In this way, because such applica tions do not reach the blood where the cause la located. S. S. S. does not simply cause a scab to form over an old sore, but beginning at the bottom it heals the place permanently by building new tissue, and filling the place with firm healthy flesh. S. S. S. is a purely botanical remedy, being made entirely of roots herbs and barks, each of which has a direct and lasting effect in removing impurities and poisons from the circulation.
