We live In a hurry, ca, IN a hurry, and
sleep in a hurry, and Il ia not surprising
that we finally break down. 1t is FOR this
reason that most OF us stand In constant
need of something to huNd up the system
and cuabc us To stand the severe strains to
which We are subjected.
As a means OF preventing the dchiltatlng
,ttcCts of worry and ovccwork many cmi-
ucnt physicians recommend the use or
purc stimuluut at meal time. Pure malt
whiskcy has been found to give the best
results and experiments have proved that
the safest aud best of all whlsEiCs is DUFF
fy's purc malt This is because 1t is NO or
binary whiskcy, but a pure medicinal
stimulaut which gives stimulntivc noursh-
mcnt to the whole body. Its hcalth-gving
effects are speedily shown in clear skin, n
brighter complexion and increased strength.

PROBLEM FOR rmn CITY corNcm.
Some Means of Painting the Niniucts
to lie Devised.

to he Devised.
At the meeting OF the city council this
evening the committee on viaducts, streets
and alleys will be expected to make a re-
port on the painting Of the yiaducts. The
city officials have given up hope of com
pelling the railroads to do the painting In
time to save the bridges from destruction
and some other mode of bringing about the
result must be devised. While the railroads
have never made any direct answer to the
repeated orders of the council to do the
work officials of the companies have stated
that they will never paint an inch OF the
viaducts until compelled to by the highest
of this and know that the matter will be
contested in the courts In the meantime
the viaducts are rapidly being ruined for
want Of a couple of coats of paint. 1t is
possible that the committee may devise some
means of obtaining the money to pay the
cost of the work. II warrants could be
drawn plenty OF painters could he found who
would be willing to take per cent three or
five-year warrants in lieu of cash, but there
is no fund upon which warrants can be
drawn.
The mayor will veto the resolution passed

for IL.
ACTION MAY RESULT IN LITIGATION

There promises to be a merry war be-
tween the members OF the Board OF Super
yisors and the Election Registration board.
The controversy has arisen over the action
OF the board In reducing the bills presented
by the registrars for their services at the
general election this fall The registrars
had a little conference among themselves
and all agreed 10 fix the price Of their com
persation at $25 for the five days work
performed The county board also had sew
cra conferences on the matter and came to
a conclusion that was equally definite and
unanimous. They cut the bills Of the reg
istrars squarely in two. When the regis
trars discovered on Saturday evening that
they were allowed only $3.50 for their work
they held another conference and decided
not TO accept the allowance.
There was a good deal of talk on the mat
ter yesterday and good deal Of indignation
expressed By the men most affected. TWO
years ago the board allowed S2j for four
DAYS work. but this year they were gov
crncl absolutely by the recent court de-
cisions holding that calendar day con
tainel twcnty-four hours. The law declares
that the compensation OF registrars may be
fixed at % cents an hour and 1t has been
generally understood that this Is the low
est amount the registrars shall receive For
tho actual time put in in the registry oiices
this would amount to SIS, and the men based
their claims upon this law and concluded
| that the additional time they were obliged
| 10 work on the books during the days when
| they were not sitting as registration boards
| entitled them to the additional 81. The men
| have taken legal advice on the matter and
| have been told that they will be able tC
enforce their demands for at least more pay
than their bills would amount to at % cents
