While last year only I mill waa levied for bridges, thia year It Is expected I mills, which Is the limit will be required as the, city, proposes replacing several of the bridges across Indian creek. There I considerable talk of replacing one of the old iron bridge each year with a concrete, structure, which would be perma nent and avoid, future outlay for repair. Ia fact the eounciimen have been In com munication with a concrete bridge firm at Dee Moines regarding replacing th bridge on North Eighth street with a concrete structure, but no decision haa been reached.

Here is the regular program that la given the patient at the. Mount Pleasant Insane hOKpital. which Is the oldest In th state: Theatricals by itoepltal Theatrical com pany, twice a week. Band concerts three times a week. ' Lecture, stereoptlcon entertainment or Other entertainment every Wednesday. Dance every Saturday night except during hot weather. Base ball game every Monday during the summer. . Picnics during summer. Observance of all legal holiday with ap propriate exercises. In addition to thia regular program of en tertainment features which are designed to keep the Insane from brooding over their troubles, the women of the Institution are given fancy needle work to do and thl has proven not only beueflclal In the cure of patients but has also proven a financial success for the Institution, . a the work brings In quite a revenue. With a round of entertainment and dances the life of the patients at the Insane hospital Is made a delightful as possible and a speedy re covery encouraged. The one requirement is thst .there are no late hours, no banquets and no overindulgence. The entertain ments for the aged and feeble are given In the day time. Those for the strong and able In the evening, but dismissed early. According to th report of the superin tendent there were 904 Inmates In the hos pital June' 30, IOCS, and 1.010- June , 1904.

Recording to the report of Miss Clare Lunbeck, the state agent for finding home for the boys and girls who are ward of the state, .the new system of finding homes Is a success.. The 'biennial report state that since the new system was started In October, 1904, there, have been S41 boys paroled ' Into homes and only twenty-two have been returned to the school, some of whom were retumedr because out of em ployment. Twelve have -ran away and their whereabouts Is unknown. The agent during the past twelve months has- traveled 11,071 miles by train and-ZSt -by team at an ex pense to the state of 1482.71. The traveling waa for the purpose of Investigating the home before, the boys are 'taken to them and of visiting the boys and girls after they are In the homes to see that' they are In good hands and doing right. .By, the terms of an act of the last legislature the state now ha two agents.-- A professor In the school at Eldora -will act as agent for the boys' school and Ml Lunbeck will look after ' the girls' school and i Soldiers' Or phans' home at Davenport..' ., Compromise oa Co-lasaraaeo. There Is likely to be a compromise meas ure recommended by the legislative Insur ance commission on the subject of co-insurance. Auditor Carroll Is understood to be opposed to the co-Insurance law, on the ground chiefly that it ia not understood by the public generally. The man carrying In surance by not understanding its provisions will be Injured by the law. The insurance men want the law because they claim they need the protection. The compromise that Is to be offered by the commission Is a measure that will allow co-Insurance In cases of large fire loss and under cert n In restrictions, but refusing It in cases of the small policyholder who I likely never to Investigate the subject of co-Insurance. The demand of the insurance men for a co- Making Advertising, Pay for Itself The initial investment in advertising 'can,' in most cases, be small. A fter the start there is no ' 1 expense " to advertis ing. . Because good advertising pays for itself., 'HERE do the tremendous advertising: appropriations come from, Mr. Business Man? Certainly NOT out of capital No, they are made up by reducing: the cost of selling:, by eliminating: conces sions and extra discounts to the trade, by maintaining: prices on a firmer or even higher basis. - . Because by advertising: you create de mand from the consumer tor your groods. Ifs easier to sell groods for which there is consumer demand hence less expensive. , Jobbers and Retailers MUST sell groods for which there is consumer demand hence no need for concessions or extra discounts to the trade. When Jobbers and Retailers MUST sell your groods, they buy at your price, and you can make it, and keep it, a safely profitable price. But you must' g;et what you pay for consumer demand.

At present, It Is claimed, property owners of large business blocks, built along modern lines of architecture, where, fire seldom reaults In a total loss, are carrying but small amounts of Insurance. One such modem building In this ctty. worth JS00.000 has but $50,000 Insurance on It, It Is the experience . mat there is seldom a nre tnat will do more than that amount of damage to the building, since It Is fireproof. But under the present laws of Iowa If there was a fire In .' the building which resulted in damage to the amount of 150,000 the two or three companies carrying these policies would have to pay In full, but if there wa a co-insurance law in the state permitting the Insurance companies to write In the contract an agreement ' whereby the prop erty wner agreed to carry eighty per cent of the value of the building In Insursnce, a (60,000 fire would be pro-rated among the companies carrying tih Inaurance.
