"Sarsaparilla" because they are

what they are full of, but we
know it's not sarsaparilla; ex-

sarsaparilla that can be relied on
to be all it claims. It's Ayers.
1t has no secret to keep. Its
formula is open to all physicians,
This formula was examined by
the Medical Committee at the

that while every other make Of
sarsaparilla was excluded from
the Fair, Ayers Sarsaparilla
was admitted and honorcd by
awards. 1t was admitted De-
cause it was the best sarsapa-

MAKING THE APPROPRIATIONS

MAKING THE APPROPRIATIONS.
In making the appropriate ions each
fund was taken up separately and voted
upon When the appropriation for city
schools WAS reached the original motion
placed he appropriation at Il 900. John
r. knowlton, chairman Of the school
committee, addressed the board He
spoke OF the Importance of keeping The
schools III proper condition. The appro-
priation OF $1,000, he said, would not be
enough. While last year there was a
balance to the credit OF this fund of
Si95s, this year the balance WAS only
about S5l6. He asked that the appropria-
tion be at least = 500.
The board reconsidered the motion, and
increased the appropriation to $4,000.
The original motion by Aid. Norris
fixed the appropriation for police at
Sll00. Ayes and nays being called for,
motion WAS lost. Aid. Higgins then
moved that the appropriation for police
be = 800, which was carried nays, Aid.
Norris and Campbell; yeas, Aid. Higgins,
Brown and Maddocks.
The original motion that the appropri-
alton for fire department be q 800 WAS not
seconded, Aid. Campbell's motion that
the appropriation be y, 900 was carried
Aid. Norris moved that 800 be appro-
priated for repairs of school houses. II.
+. Maddocks, of the school committee
asked that the appropriation be increased
as it was not sufficient to keep the
houses in repair. He called upon Super
tendent Lord to give the board some in
formation concerning necessary repairs.
Mr.. Lord said the school-house on In
FAINT street would need extensive repairs,
In reality new building should be built
in that district, the present one, beside
being too small, was hardly fiji for a barn.
The windows were falling out where the
castings had rotted away. There were at
least ten other buildings which would
need from 40 to $50 in repairs.
The aldermen considered the appropra-
tion Of 500 sufficient, and it was passed
Aid. Norris moved an appropriation of
$500 for sewers. Aid. Campbell said
that while he understood it was quite de-
sirable to make start on sewer system,
he believed the matter of roads was OF
greater Importance, and he was in favor
of inaugurating movement for better
roads first. The motion for a sever APP
propriat ion was not seconded.
The original motion for rock crushing
plant called for $1,000, but on informa-

SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

of Schools.

of schools.
Inc Ellsworth school committee met
Monday afternoon to organize for the
year The full board was present-John
r. knowlton, Charles II. GrindaI, II, F.
Maddocks, Martin NJ. Moore and Su-
perintendent l.. w. Lord.
John F. knowlton was elected chair
man Of the board.
Before halloting for superintendent of
schools, members OF the board EXPRESSED
the opinion that the salary of 500 voted
10y The city "qs not enough for the office,
and that desirable man could rot be OBJ
tanned for that Mr. Maddocks thought
the board of aldermen should be asked to
increase the salary to $500. Mr., Knowlton
Thought it would be to the advantage Of
the city to take 500 away from the APP
preparation for schools and add it to the
superintendent salary. The office re-
CURED a nan who was fitted to lead the
teachers.
The board had been in correspondence
with fioyt \. Moore, who ii believed was
he man for the place. He Is an Els
worth boy, a graduate OF Bowdoin. He is
now teaching in Wilton academy, receiv-
ing higher salary than Ellsworth could
pay him as perintendcnt, but the fact
that Ellsworth was his home was an in
ducement, and he would accept the Office
II the salary was increased to $500.
The board proceeded to ballot for SUI
Perintendent and Mr. Moore was unani-
al, y.1., l.
the following resolution, the president of
the board being authorized to present it
to the city meeting:
Whereas, The board has elected Mr..
Hoyt A. Moore as superintendent of
schools for the ensuing year, therefore
be it
Resolred, That it is the opinion OF this
board that the salary OF the supern-
tendent should be increased to the sum
OF $500.
This resolution WAS presented to the
aldermen Monday evening, and the sug-
gest ion adopted.
The rules OF the school committee as
last year were adopted, with the addition
OF a section to provide that any rule or
part thereof could be changed by ma
jority vote OF the board.
Mr.. Maddocks brought up the ques-
ton OF new high school building. He
thought the matter should be brought
before the board of aldermen, and an
appropriation asked for. The school
board was unanimously agreed that a
new building was necessity, that the
present building was not only too small,
