Would Not Confirm Mavor's Appoints
ments. Report of Health Board.

Select council met in regular session
last evening and the only discordant
action taken was on the mayors APP
pointments of DIR. Kelly and j. w.
Burke for members of the board OF
health. Mr.. Nealon made vigorous
speech in favor of confirmation, but
the appointees were turned down by a
strict party vote. A communication
from the mayor withdrawing Mr..
Burke's name was read at the latterS
request and the council received it.
The following report was received and
ordered filed:
To the Honorable, the Select and Com
mon Councils, of the City of Carbondale.
Gentlemen: / beg to submit the sub
Joined report of the affairs of the board
of health for the year 1897
The most noteworthy accomplishment
of the organization was the completion
of a new code of rules which has met
with the approval of the City's executive
and which, it is expected, will greatly
facilitate the work of the board in the tu-
ture. The articles relative to plumbing,
having embodied suggestions of the local
plumbers, were made especially compre-
hensive and their enforcement assures
thoroughly sanitary work In that direc-
ton.
Mortality statistics show the health Of
the city to have been exceptionally good
during the years recently closed. There
were 144 cases OF diphtheria with 26
DEATHS 1873 cases Of measles with no
deaths; cases of scarlet fever with no
deaths, and 26 cases of typhoid fever with
deaths.
There was nothing il the nature of n
epidemic. The total number of deaths
from all causes is PAS, making a death
rate per 1000 of the population of 10 10,
considerably less than that of Scranton
and probably as low as any in the state.
The births number 337 and the mar
riages SO.
The receipts of the secretary's office
were $59. 80, derived from the issue of bu-
rial permits, transcripts, transits and pig
permits.
The sanitary condition of the city COM
pares favorably with that of former
years.
Some months ago the board moved into
its new office, which, with new furniture,
it finds a great convenience.
There were AGO nuisances reported ana
435 abated. Visits to infected houses by
sanitary policeman, $50; houses fumi-
gated, 119; carcasses disposed Of, 3S-3l
dogs, 3 calves 2 cows and horses;
plumbing plans approved, 33.
c. r. Mum, Secretary.
A requisition from the board of
health was referred to the committee.
A resolution authorizing the fire
chief to have repairs made on Column

under direction of building committee,
was adopted.
A resolution authorizing the build

en- have no right to tamper with love or
matrimony. 1t is best for themselves and
best for the humansrace that they should
not. II is not hard matter for men and
women TO preserve their health if they
wish. 1t is far from impossible for them
to restore it after it has been lost That
being the case the modern Cupid is right
In looking with disfavor upon matrimonial
matches between sick men and unhe althy
women. Ill-health in a woman is generally
the result of some weakness or disorder of
the distinctly feminine organism that is
slowly sapping her vitality. At first, a
little pain and slight indispositions which
seem to her quite unimportant. They grow
steadily worse until she suffers all the time
from burning and dragging sensations, and
occasionally has to take to her bed. Fin
ally they completely unfit her for wifehood
and motherhood. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is an unfailing remedy for all
ments of this kind. 1t acts directly on the
delicate and important organs concerned
in maternity and makes them well and
strong. II transforms weak, sickly, nerv-
Gus invalids into healthy, happy wives and
mothers. Medicine dealers sell il. No hon
est druggist will recommend substitute.
