One night during the week lot OF
boys on devilment bent started on

not be too good, or too severe.
1t is piece Of vandalism for which
there is no possible excuse.

In the vicinity Of Boquet, Westmore-
land. Co. Pa, almost anyone can tell
you how to cure lame back or stiff
neck. They dampen piece of flannel
with Chanberlain's Pain Balm and
bind it on the affected parts and in
one or two days the trouble has disap-
peared. The same treatment will
promptly cure pain in the side or
chest. Mr.. E. NJ. Frye, a prominent
merchant of Boquet, speaks very
highly of Pain Balm, and his recon-
mendatlons have had much to do with
making it popular there. For sale by

10 the Board OF Health, Ncwberry,
Gentlemen: In accordance with my
| duties as president l herewith submit
my annual report to you Of all works
ana improvements done in our town
during the past year, and the general
condition now.
We have formulated new set of san
| itary rules and regulations which havo
been very satisfactorily enforced by.our
efficient health officer.
In noticing the sanitary improve
ments | am persuaded that no ordi-
nance has resulted in bettering the
condition of the town more than rule
four referring to privies, rule five and
eight referring to slops and garbage
and rule ten prohibiting hogs in town.
1t is quite noticeable thatswo have q
much cleaner town than formerly and
very little foul air Is inhaled from de-
cay1ng matter. Especially improved is
that part OF town known as Factoryville
IN regard to its privics and drains.
L am also convinced that the rcmoy-
al OF hog pens from town frees us Of n
nuisance which formerly gave us great
concern. We have opened up and wild
ened SCOTS Creek the entire distance
through town, and al branches and
uIdluS iuHulnS lnCO III.
The town now. has good, clean sur
face drainage, and there is no reason
why we should be inflicted with any
disease from Il local cause. -
The citizens are beginning to see the
great advantage in having clean SAN
ltarY town, and We have no trouble in
getting them to acquicsce in our at
tempts at improvements and with little
Or no expense to the board.
|, There are some surface wells that
must be condemned, and as soon rs our
water system is well established this
will beattendod to-.
This leads me to remark that We
shall soon have water from the artesian
we'll to every part of the town, and we
should recommend that our citizens
generally use it.
In receiving the Sccrctarys annual
report of births and deaths, / was graf
flied to sec that our mortality roll has
been less than two per cent, notwith-
standing the epidemic of Ia grippe dur
ing last winter.
In conclusion l would state that VIC
may congratulate ourselves upon our
general sanitary condition, and hope
that by another year an even better re-
port may be shown.
Respectfully submitted,

it Is difficult to refuse few days ac-

Neither side scored in either The first
or second half. Tucker, Of Missouri,

how badly he is hurt. The great ele-
vation was seriously felt by the play
ers, who early lost their wind. There
is still talk of getting up q local

on New Years day. The Mexican
dailies generally condemn the game as
brutal and express their opinion that
the Latin race is too hot-blooded to
play the game without losing temper.
Football is great novelty here and

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. Sl.-At q meet

Gil OF the Nebraska State Teachers as
sociation the report of the committee
on legislation was taken up The re-
port recommended that the present
free high school law and free text book
law be let severely alone for the pres.
ent. The pressing need of
more effective means of securing
attendance in the schools was
recognized, but no change in the pres.
ent law was recommended. It was
the opinion OF the committee, however,
that the school law should be so
amended as to remedy some of the
evils growing out of unequal taxation.
This was followed by an interesting
discussion on ways and means of put.
ting into operation q system of travel
