tions further than to say in response
to a question from Mr.. Tewksbury that
1t has been customary to insist that
all fire department bills should have
the approval of the fire department
committee before being submitted to
the auditing committee.
The bill for expense for the annual
parade and inspection of the fire de-
partment, amounting to 1919, was
among those approved. The appro-
priation was s400 an extra 800 having

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH Mss. prNKnAMl

A woman with the blues Is a very un.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is source OF wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force OF will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
business In women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story OF Mrs. +. $. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:--I have suf.
fercd for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation Of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million wc-
men have been benefited by it.

Select Council Not to Be Proceeded

No steps were taken yesterday to
move against the select councilmen
who for a second time failed to re-
spond to the mayors summons to meet
in special session Thursday night to
approve the bond of City Solicitor
elect A. A. Vosburg, and the probabili-
ties are that no action will be taken
unless the councils refuse to accept
the bond next Thursday night.
Although they probably did not know
it, those of the common councilmen
who voted against the approval of City
Solicitor-elect A. A. Vosburg's bond
were guilty of contempt of court and
subject to a fine or Imprisonment, as
the writ of peremptory mandamus had
been served upon them.

Arch Masons; Couer de Lion and Me-
lita Communicates. knights Templar
The handsome flve-story structure
in which the temple is contained was
built expressly for the Masons by j. S.
Miller, and it will be occupied by them
under a ten-year lease, with privilege
of renewal.
The building is 40X6S and constructed
of brick with hardwood interior finish
ing. The front is of buff pressed brick,
severely plain, but withal attractive.
The first floor is devoted to store rooms
and the second to offices. The third,
fourth and fifth floors are entirely
taken up with the temple apartments.
PRIVATE ELEVATOR.
A private elevator from the ground
floor and a broad staircase, cut off
with door controlled by an electric

space for stairway, elevator and cor
rdor, is devoted to meeting purposes.
The main meeting room is the height
of two floors and the extra projection
| of the mansard roof. In design and
! finish it is ideal. Heavy ornamental
| trusses supporting the roof form one
of its prettiest features.
The throne at the east is set i'm q
high, arched recess, ornamented with
| Corinthian columns and caps.
At the west the smaller throne is
surmounted by q projecting balcony
which contains a large and beautiful
pipe organ. The thrones, columns,

| The walls are Of deep green and olive.
The color effect is, altogether. strik-
ingly picturesque.
DORMER WINDOWS.
Four large windows on either side
with row OF dormer windows at the
| top, furnish light by day. At night
the room will be illuminated and beau
| tilted by clusters of incandescent
| globes pendant from three chandeliers
and rows of globes encircling the room
along the frieze and arches, and ex-
tending across the trusses and length
| wise along the ceiling.
The portion of the fifth floor not
taken up by the main meeting room is
cut up into eight paraphernalia rooms
The building was designed by Ar

ing done by Frank Meyer.
