Civil Service RED Tape to Blano-Hew Lsng
VIII This Last

Will This Last
Tho police payrolls for January are held up
by an apparently senseless pieoe Of red tape in
tho Civil Service Bureau. Its rules require
that all payrolls shall be checked at the bureau
every month to prevent illegal appointments.
The police payrolls were checked In January
and delayed for days in the process. There are
over 1000 names on them to check Off. AS no
appointments at all have been made during tho
month. and none could have been made without
the civil service machinery being set in motion
to grind them out, 1t seems q loss of time to go
over the 1000 names again, particularly as 1t
delays pay for no one can tell how long. OF
sixty Captains twenty-five only had received
their precinct payrolls from the bureau at
noon yesterday. The others were waiting and
Rrumbling loudly.
Treasurer Hamilton was greatly annoyed.
but was helpless to speed the matter. The Fire
Department and other departmental had got in
between with their ~payrolls. The Police Board
will probably attempt next time to certify to
any new appointments merely and see how that
comes out.

One of the grandest agencies which IN
liRhtened Science has discovered to relieve
motherhood from excessive suffering is the
"Favorite Prescription" devised by Or.
r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physician of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical institute,
Of Buffalo, N. Y. This wonderful Pre-
scription "imbues the entire nervous sys-
tenn with natural, healthy vitality; gives
elastic vigor to the delicate organism spe-
cially concerned in motherhood; renders
the prospective mother strong and cheerful
and makes the coming of baby entirely free
from danger and almost free from pain.
