now demand a very material
reduction of tariff dnties. 1t
is a matter OF life and death
with them.
They couldn't understand
this last year, but now their

it altogether too plain. They

their products. Itthey could
get across to the markets Of
the whole world, they wouId
nndersell ill competitors and
their mills might he lun on

But the re,)nst.t:an bosses
won't admit this. and SO the
mill ownefs must dodge bank

1t is not Mr.. Harrison s
fault. He is ~ good ma'l

The democrats have been

the democratic party was
knocked out.
All right. Mr.. Hairison's
four years will also be an ed
ucational one, and when they
end the people will' refuse to

be sent flying.

the purchase of lots in the Thirty-frst and
Thirty-second wards for fire department pur-
poses Mr.. Nisbet said he and Mr. Holiday
that had not done any investigating because
that neighborhood.
Mr. Pitcairn thought Mr.. Nisbet entirely too
bland and too self-sacriicing and insisted that
he, the speaker, should have a chance to assist
in the investigation before any report was
made. Mr., Pitcairn said this was the first init
nation he had had that he was member of
that subcommittee. The colloquy caused con-
siderable amuseAent about City Hall and for
some reason there was much grimacing and
struggling of shoulders Misunderstanding
pantomime etc.
Chairman Lambie refused to receive a verbal
report, and ordered that written one be
gotten up before the next meeting
An ordinance fixing the salary of the Build
ing Inspector at 81, 500 per year was read and
with it a communication from Chief Brown, of
the Department of Public Safety, in which Mr.
Brown states that the present salary of the
Building Inspector is insufficient to induce
good, reliable and scientific builders or con-
tractors to apply for the position, and that is
the kind of man needed. He also advised that
the salary of the Assistant Building Inspector
be fixed at 5000 per year for the same reason.
Chairman Lambie cut short discussion by
ruling that the Finance Committee should con-
slider the propositions carefully and prayer
fully, If it felt like SO doing.

Showing the Outline of Route Which 1,

When person with delicate constitu-
tion has a tendency to catarrh or consumption
whether this tendency is inherited or re-
suits from taking cold easily-it is notice
able that that person invariably loses flesh
and loses strength, showing that the nutri-
ton Is interfered with.
In such case the sufferer should at once
be placed under influences that will restore
the defective nutrition and tend to invigor-
ate the constitution.
1t is to be remembered that in every case
the presence of catarrh is an evidence of
predisposition to consumption, and no
matter how slight the attack may be, it
should be treated with the greatest care, and
the treatment should be continued until all
traces of the catarrh have disappeared.
If the catarrh is allowed to reach the smallest
tubes in the lungs-which condition is indi-
Gated by the splitting up of yellow material
then immediate attention to the malady is de-
manded, or serious lung trouble will result

In THE SUBURBS.
Some Of the Advantages of Village
Life Around Pittsburg.
ONE NOTABLE INTERVIEW.

"One who has lived in any of the suburban
villages just out Of Pittsburg, would hardly
exchange his home at this season of the
year for one in the city proper" said Mr..
Adams He was speaking of his home at
Mansfield, just eight miles out on the Pam
handle. and one of the pleasantest of
suburban neighborhoods. His family have
resided there for IA years and over, his
father being proprietor of the Mansfield
Hotel.
1t was during this conversation with Mr..
Adams that he made the following state
ment:
ut had been trouble" he said, "that
tried in every way to get rid of without any
success. 1t kept slowly, gradually getting
worse all the time. Sometimes 1 would
think was a little better, but after awhile
I would drop back into still worse con-
dition.
In the morning would feel tired and
worn out. 1t seemed as if my sleep had not
at all rested me. I would feel more tired
when I would get up in the morning than
when would go to bed at night.
