6 THE BRITISH WHIG| POTH YEAR. A PAVING HOLIDAY. | Last year the city's portion of the street paving cost was $95,000. The council of 1923 talked about going | | easy on road paving this year so as | to keep down the debenture debt | and the tax rate. Yet only the other { day new paving advertised showed | the city's portion of the cost of part | of this year's work to be $50,000. Before the year Is out this amount may reach $75,000, as additional | stretches of roadway have lately been added to the &rea to be paved. | Thus in two years the city corpora- | | tion will have added $160,000 to the | | debenture debt through paving. Tha: | property owners on the streets where | {the paving is done will pay another ! | $160,000. THE DAILY would come back. considerable revenue every vear tha could be applied to the grounds and buildings. As a business enterprise the suggestion is worthy of serious consideration, but the interest of baseball, as a great sport that ev- eryone is interested in, demands that it be removed from the class ot gratuituous entertainments, and placed on a plane that will satisfy | those whe follow it, give enc ourage- ment to clubs and players, and cre- ate in Kingston a permanent high- class baseball organization that will excite the ambition of all young players. ------ OUR SOCIAL LIFE, i It is astonishing how slow many | It would mean 2! » BRITISH WHIG BY SAM HILL | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR Hymna of Hate, 1 surely hate z To have him ca!

While the usual .em- edies gave some relief I was really getting nowhere as far as finding | out the cause of the trouble: 'We all hate to be beaten, | physicians are only human.

It would seem that the human mouth is growing smaller all tne time so that there is scarcely room for our full set of thirty-two teeth. In an endeavor to crowd in, many of them are twisted and turned. The last molar or wisdom tooth is fre- quently absent. It comes last ana is the first to go.
