RULES NOT ENFORCED.
Plumbers Make Known Their Grievances
to the Members Of the Board
OF Health.

Fifteen plumbers attended the spec
ial meeting of the board of health last
evening, called for the purpose of lis
tening to the grievance of this class
OF workmen in respect to the set of
rules which the board recently propa-
gated for the guidance of plumbers
and in which, 1t is affirmed, there is at
lease one disastrous leak--i. e., the fact
that the rules are not generally obeyed
The fifteen who were present last night
are among those who observe the rules
and their complaint was that they
cannot successfully compete in busi-
ness with the plumbers who ignore
the boards mandate. After thorough
discussion the board resolved to ask
councils to create the office Of plumb
ing inspector for this city.
The meeting was not begun before
S.45 o'clock. Dr. w. A. Paine, presi-
dent; Attorney George II. Horn and
Henry f. Ziegler, constituted the quo
rum. The plumbers present were: NJ.
T. Howley, James B. Doyle, Henry ].
Gunster, Thomas Devine, Thomas Null
len, Lincoln Williams, Lewis Schu-
macher, John Snyder, Jacob Muller,
Henry Wenzel, William Avery, A. c.
Monies and John Johns. Besides the
members, there were present Secretary
r. j. Murray, Health officer w. e. AL
len, M. D., Food Inspector Cullen,
Mounted officer Burke and Building
Inspector John Nelson. The latter was
the centre of all discussion.
When the board made the rules
| (Which are to perfect the sanitary
| system in dwellings) there was no Of
10 Tn
| srector Nelson consented to act as in
| spector, receiving no compensation
whatever. James B. Doyle stated to
| the board in his speech last night that
| the plumbers believe in the rules but
| by following them it entails an addi-
| tional cost of at least 25 per cent
| Hence the law-breakers have that
much to play on in their bids. He
cited instances of breaches of the rules
! Mr.. Gunster, who next spoke, said
decisively: "The inspector is not en-
forcing the laws" Building Inspector
Nelson then responded. He showed
that he has not time to attend to the
plumbing inspection as it ought to be
looked after. He spoke at length
answering satisfactorily the questions
of plumbers and members of the board
! liN 10 tlbOuI " pl lOoOSuiS OilS NtioS vi
violation of the rules, he said. Mr.
Nelson's popularity with the plumbers
was expressed in: You're all right
from one of the men.
Messrs. Howley, Monies and Snyder
also spoke. At the suggestion of Mr.
Gunster the board, on suggestion OF
Mr.. Horn, resolved to request council:
to create the Office of plumbing in
|
will prepare a written statement of hi:
difficulty in attending to the inspection
and the Master Plumbers association
will assist in induGing councils to make
the office. The plumbers left happy il
spirits.
Afterward the board instructed Sec
retary Murray to secure from City
Solicitor mckinley an opinion on the
eight-hour day law passed by the legis
lature, as it affects the employees of the
crematory.

CITY TAKES AN APPEAL.
Viewers Did Not Divide Cost OF Sewer
Evenly, 1t Is Alleged.

City Solicitor Mckinley yesterday
took an appeal for the city from the re-
port of the viewers on the Seventeenth
District sewer on the South Side.
The viewers assessed $13, ,03625 against
the property owners and $22, 1868 75
against the city. This is considered an
unequal proportion for the city to bear
and consequently an appeal has been
taken.

September Is, 1925, the date selected by Ma
jor Noah for the founding of Ararat. So far he had
secured site for his city, and had provided himself
with robes of office BETTING the title of Judge"
which he had bestowed upon himself and with
rotary. He had never visited the spot where the flu
ture glory of Israel was shine, but early in this
month of September he set out for the budding city
of Buffalo, attended by his suite of and with his
robes of office packed carefully away in his box. 1t
does not appear that any other Hebrew had any
thing to do with the founding of this Hebrac city.
When Mordecai Manuel Noah, having journeyed
the State of New York in the primitive convey
ances of the time reached the town of Buffalo, he
found it's citizens considerably excited the
completion of the Erie canal the Improvement of
their harbor and the prospect of their greatness
and eager to take advantage of any opportunity for
a display He accordingly in his element, and
preparations went bravely on for the establishment
of the great city of the Jews One workman
set at the task of preparing the cornerstone and
another sent down to Grand Island to clear
away spot in the forest and erect fagpole from
which the great standard of Israel was to float The
Judge" himself, as Major Noah now insisted on be-
ing called, was too comfortable or too busy in Buf
falo to visit his projected city just yet
AS September 10 approached, Judge" Noah de
cded that the ceremonies of laying the cornerstone
of Ararat should take place in Buffalo, and not on
the site where the city to stand The ostensibe
reason for this was that not enough conveyances
could be secured carry the crowd that desired to
attend the ceremonies down the river but it is
than likely that the real that the town of
Buffalo afforded better facilities for display than
the woods of Grand Island Major Noah
sisted in his plans by the local branch of the order of
Masons, and the of the Episcopal church of St.
John offered him for the purpose of his celebra-
ton Accordingly, on September Is, 1925, the citi-
of Buffalo turned out to witness
spectacle that has probably been paraleled in
the history of strange enterprsesthat of the
stone of Hebraic city being laid with Masonic
monies the communion table of a Protestant Epis-
copa church ten miles from the spot on which the

end of the procession attended by few Arch Masons
and Knights Templar came the principal figure in
the gorgeous panoply, which Major Mordecai Man.
ue Noah himself described the Judge of Israel in
black wearing the judicial robes of crimson silk trim
med with ermine, and rich embossed gold medal
suspended from the neck
At the church door the troops drew up in line and
the procession entered while the band played the
grand march from Judas Maccabaus The corner
stone lay on the communion table, and it stood
the Masonic corn, wine, and oil in silver cups. The
usual ceremony of laying the stone with trowel and
mortarw necessarily omitted and the services con-
sisted of a curious tumble including the reading of
the Episcopal morning service by the rector of the
church, the singing of Old Hundred a reading from
the Bible and psalm in Hebrew. Major Noah made
speech explaining the details of his PLAN the process

clamation starts out by saying that God has mani

Therefore, |, Mordecai Manuel Noah, citizen of
the United States of America, late Consul Of said
States for the City and Kingdom of Tunis, High
Sheriff of New York, counsellor at law, and, by the

HOT WEATHER DYSPEPSIA.
Thousands Suffer from 1t at This Season of
the Year.

Thousands Suffer from 1t at This Season of
the Year.
Hot weather dyspepsia may be
recognized by the followIns symp-
toms: Depression of spirits. heavi-
ness and pain in the stomach after
meals, loss of flesh and appetite, no
desire for food, bad taste in the mouth,
especially in the morning; wind in
stomach and bowels, irritable dispos-
Ition, nervous weakness, WEAKNESS,
cosUiveness, headache, palpitation,
heartburn. 1t is mistake to treat
such troubles with "tonics", "bloOd
purifiers, "cathartics", "pills", be-
cause the whole trouble is in the
stomach. 1t is indigestion or dys-
pepsia and nothing else.
All these symptoms rapidly disap-
pear when the stomach is relieved
strengthened, and cleansed by Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. They should be
taken after meals and a few carried in
the pocket to be used whenever any
pain or. distress is felt in the stomach.
They are prepared only for stomach
troubles.
AStuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
endorsed by such physicians as DIR.
Harlandson, DIR. Jennison, and DR..
Mayer, because they contain the
natural digestive acids and fruit es-
sences which when taken into the
stomach cause the prompt digestion
of the food before it has time to fer
ment and sour, which is the cause of
the mischief.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
pleasant to take and unequalled for
lnvalids, children, and every person
afflicted with imperfect digestion. 1t
is safe to say they will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer OF
the stomach.

Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized pack
ages at 80 cents. A book on stomach
