reason for - his resignation the fact
that Inasmuch as the church is now

is deserving of a complete rest from
the severe strain under which he has
been laboring.

edifice was destroyed by fire. Aided

Paving Commission
Awards Contracts
They Should Worry!
Up to Common Council to See
That Funds Are Provided
' for Work
At last night's meeting of the pav
ing and sewer commission contracts
were awarded for paving jobs which
it had been. planned to pay for out
of " the serial bond note issue about
which there is so much controversy
at present. The members of the board
expressed themselves as failing to
see how the dispute would affect their
work as they are simply acting under
instructions from the Common Coun
cil. One of the members stated, how
ever, that he "believed the law is such
that any citizen can enjoin the board
from doing the work. .
William H. Arthur, the Stamford
contractor who has done much of this
city's paving work was awarded the
contract to pave John street from
Broad to Oourtland street. He will
do the work for $1.37 per square yard
with, a five year guarantee, the wood
blocks to be furnished toy the Barber
Asphalt company at $1.80 per square
yard. The Burns company was award
ed the contract for the paving work
on Park avenue from South avenue
to Austin street This pavement will
be of granite blocks and will be done
for $3.20 -per square yard. The other
sections of Park avenue will be done
by the Burns company at $1.20 per
square yard.
This work was ordered by the Com
mon Council, It being understood that
the improvements would be paid for
out of the proceeds of the serial note
Issue. . Now, whether the money
comes from the proceeds of the serial
notes or from some other source is
not for the members of the pav
ing and sewer commission to worry
about. They simply award the con
tracts after the Work has been order
ed by the Common Council. - To use
the vernacular of the , street, it's up
to the Common Council . to see that
the money to pay for the work is pro
vided in some way. .
Prior to the awarding of the con
tracts a petition from the John street
residents asking that that thorough
fare be paved with -wood brocks was
read and it was voted to have wood
blocks laid in this street. On motion
of Frederick . Atwater It was voted to
have the contract awarded without the
five year guarantee. This will save
the " city $300. The memberB of the
board, the city engineer and. the direc
tor of public works , were of the opin
ion that as long as the city inspects
the blocks before they are laid, the
guarantee Is unnecessary.
The commission -. ordered . tfee .con
struction of the Golden' Hill street
sewer after a spirited discussion of
the case. . Attorney Charles S. Can
field, representing George: W. Finn, a
property owner on Elm street made a
strong argument In favor of the sew
er. He stated that 'unless the sew
er was constructed and objectionable
cesspools done away with, property
belonging to his client could ' not be
improved. The city attorney said
that the property owners, of Gblden
Hill street could be ordered; to use the
new sewer when it Is constructed and
that they were liable to assessment.
The contract for the sewer In question
goes to the Burns company.
Mayor Wilson was present at the
meeting and he 'urged that work on
Fairfield avenrue be rushed along as
rapidly as possible. He requested
Col. Matthew Sogers of the commis
sion to confer with Superintendent
Charles H. Chapman of the Connecti
cut company, as he himself intended
doing, to see if the work on the com
pany's tracks can not be rushed along
a little more rapidly than at present.

Chicago, I1L
-Indigestion (Part 2)' Now what are
you going to do about it, you take
cold easily, simply a symptom of part
ly digested food that has caused a
clogged up condition of your system.
You are constipated, why don't you
clean " out the offending matter ' and
then make your teeth do their duty.
If you thoroughly chew every parti
cle of food you will not be so likely
to over-eat, what you. do eat will be
more easily digested and the ' waste
more Teadily eliminated. ,
I know an old man who knows how
and what to eat. He told a body of
great physicians that - he did not be
lieve' their claim that .germs cause
disease, that germs were absolutely
harmless, unless there "was a 'suitable
soil in the system, caused by partly
digested food, and he dared them to
inoculate him with any sort of germs
they could find. He was old and . did
not look strong and they would not
take the risk. He taunted them, told
them ' they were afraid he would prove
them to be wrong. He asked them
to name conditions that would cause a
person to take cold most easily. They
did and he tried It as follows. A
cold rain was falling and .ae dressed
in a suit of pajamas and walked In
the rain for an hour, no hat. , no
shoes. Without changing or drying
in any way he lay down In the hall
between an open, doorway at one end
and an. open window at the other
and slept through the night. Not a
sign of a cold or stiffened muscle, not
an ache or a' pain. Then he asked
them to supply1 hlmr-jwth the 'gerra
of Tetanus or lockjaw. . In their pres
ence he made an incision into his foot.
put the germs into it and sealed up
the wound. According to all of their
rules It would kill him. , The wound
healed and not a trace of inflammation
appeared. Then they tried all sorts
of germs on him, but none had the
slightest evil effect. His digestion
is i perfect. He chews .every particle
df .food thoroughly. ;He eats no meat
or': animal fats of any " kind and very
little vegetable fat. His food consists
of" soups. Juicy fruits ' and vegetables.
He is vigorous, active and brainy
with clear eyes and a clean tongue.
How Is your tongue? Is your ' breath
sweet or do your friends turn away
when you get close to them?
Chew your food, quit over-eating,
quit washing the food into the stom
ach with liquids, , quit eating tne
wrong combinations of food.. Fer
mentation Is not digestion, fermenta
tion causes gas. Whenever you have
gas you know that your digestion is
not ood. - . ,

Dear Doctor- Your extensive work
among the people is one of the great
est and most considerate ever under
taken by. any doctor I know of. We
often get. evasive . replies from our
home doctors.. The effect of . stimu
lants on nerves '. iB one of great Importance-
and r 3 would ' like : to, know
the effect1 ' of coffee," tea and alcohol,
also tobacco .on the nerves, I mean
physical, effect To they deteriorate
under effects? All I could find was
that stimulants irritated the nerves.
Is the irritation harmful in all casas?
I mean when used aa a beverage. 1 Is
any one who Is addicted to the use of
one in line for the whole set of stimu
lants? In other words does the desire
for stimulants Increase In every, case?
These answers are desired for use In
Sunday school work. -
B. Si C.
I would state that .the effect of the
stimulants mentioned by you will vary
depending on the particular individ
ual who takes them, on the amount
taken and on the manner of life led
by the individual. Tobacco is rather
a sedative than a stimulant, but there
is no question but that It irritates the
nerves, sometimes in fact to. the ex
tent of causing partial blindness, and
it frequently causes irritability of the
heart. Alcohol -is also more or less
harmful in practically all cases, al
though here again the amount of dam
age done depends on the factors above
mentioned. There Is no reason why
the use of one of these stimulants
should lead to a desire for any of
the others.) Tea and coffee are un
doubtedly Injurious when taken in
large quantities and In concentrat
ed form. If taken weak, merely for
the sake of the flavor obtained, no
great harm is done, except in those
who are very susceptible to their ef
fects. Dear Doctor: Is there such a dls.
ease as Hookworm? If there is, what
is the treatment?
H. P. A.
There certainly Is such a disease
aa Hookworm - and It is responsible
'The Progressive Store
in the southern states for a great
deal of sickness and disability and is
considered to be the cause of the
poor, physical and economic condition
of what are called the poor white folks
of the south. It is caused by a min
ute worm which enters the system
in , various ways, such as through
sores on the hands or feet in those
who come in contact with- the moist
earth. In which the arlvae live. These
make their way through the body to
the intestines and there develop, suck
ing the blood from the unfortunate
victim, until ' a severe condition of
anemia results. In any locality where
the disease Is found, precaution should
be taken against its Contraction by
avoiding contact with moist earth
whenever sores are present on the
hands or feet. The privy vaults should
be . frequently disinfected with chlor
ide of lime and the water supply
should be carefully watched, so that
it cannot become infected from such
a source. Thymol has! been found
to 'Se the most effective remedy for
the disease. The patient should re
main on a liquid diet for a couple
of days, then in tbe morning 30 grains
of thymol are taken. This Is re
peated two hours later and two hours
following an .active cathartic is taken.
It may be necessary to repeat the
treatment in a week or ten days, de
pending on whether or not any para
sites are still found m the stools .on
microscopical examination. I gave a
lecture on that subject not long ago
when It was fully explained.,.
