A foul breath is one of the greatest
Affections that man or woman can have.
An affection not only 10 themselves, but
to those with whom they come in contact.
A foul breath is great discourager of
affection. II would probably be more so
if people only realized just what bad
breath means. Bad breath is one Of the
symptoms of constipation. Some of the
other symptoms are sour stomach; loss of
appetite, sick and bilious headache, dizzi.
ness, heartburn and distress after eating.
These things mean indigestion. They
lead to dyspepsia and worse things.
They all start with constipation, and con
stipation is inexcusabls because it can be
cured--cured easily, quickly and perma-
nently, by the use of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They give to nature just the
little help that she needs. There is no case
of biliousness, constipation, indigestion
"heartburn," or any of the rest of The
night-mare breeding brood that these little
"Pellets" will not cure.

A Fish Story.

A jolly party, consisting of a Clergy
man, divinity student, and Justice
of the Peace, went down the Bay one
day last week to try their luck at fishing.
There was SO much law and theology on
board the craft that the best of the finny
tribe steered oft, and only four weak
e sh were caught. All hands got about
dozen of the delicious little black bass,
but the toad-dsh and other worthless
varieties seemed to take delight in hover
ing around the hooks of the ministers as
il to .tantalize them. When the party
returned home the theologians decided it
would not do for them to tell lie about
their catch, SO they left it to the Squire"
to fix up a romance to fit the occasion.
The result showed that their confidence
was not misplaced, for he came straight
to The Press Office and announced that
the party had caught taUel0e dozen nice
fab. The Editor of The Press, who is
an old fisherman and gunner himself,
thought there was q suspicious twinkle
in the "Squire's' eye, and be remarked,
Wonderful Just the same number Of
f d caught, as there were "dickey" birds
killed, last week, by you and Lew Bar
rett. Everything seems to be running
on the twelve dozen mark this season"
And then the esquire" wanted to know
II we had heard that Peace had been de-
clared, and immediately changed the
subject.

Ordinance No. 1e2, known as the
Rothermel electric lighting ordinance
passed third and final reading by q
vote of IA to 2. The ordinance now
goes to the Mayor for his approval.
An important change was made in the
paving ordinance at meeting of City
Council, Monday evening, which means
that Atlantic City will have paved cross
avenues through the greater part of its
area. The ordinance called for the paw
ing with verified brick, of Arkansas,
Tennessee and South Carolina avenues !;
and Rhode island in Telford as well as
Pacific avenne from there down to Chel-
sea. The change does away entirely
with brick, substituting Telford through
out and calling for the paving of all
cross avenues from Connecticut to Missis-
sipi, between Atlantic and the beach, as
well as the Pacific avenue drive.
On August Oath, Captain William
Andrews. known as the Lone Naviga-

ally with canned goods. and enough
