The Board of Health at n recent
meeting decided to make a thorough
sanitary inspection of all houses and
properties in the city. This inspec-
tion will be made, not to annoy any
one, but for the best interests not only
of the people generally, but of those
whose houses are inspected. Often
times, thoughtlessly, or from ignor-
ance, conditions exist in or about some
dwellings that are sure TO produce dis
ease, sooner or later. The pointing
ont Of these dangers should be thank.
fully received by those whose atten.
ion is called TO them.
In the meantime let everybody put
his house in order, that the inspector
may not find anything to complain of
The inspection will begin about the

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effeetually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fcvers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
mnnently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRuP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed ON the front of every package.

THE COMING GAME SEASON.
Quail and other Game Reported to
Be Abundant.

Reports received at the hea dquarters
of the State Game Commission indicate
that the season opening October Is and
closing December Is will be very sue
cessful, Quail are very abundant in
all sections of Pennsylvania, and
pheasants and wild turkeys more than
usually plentiful. The increase of this
species Of game Is mainly ascribed to
the wholesome operation of the new
law preventing the killing of game for
the markets. In the absence of this
restriction quail and other edible game
were the victims of wholesale slaugh-
ter.
Most Of it was shipped to New YORK
city after having been killed i'm this
state. The penalty for killing a deer
for the purpose of selling it is 500, and
for killing wild turkey, pheasant,
quail, grouse or woodcock is $25 or i'm
prisOnment of one day for every dollar
of fine The killing of more than ten
pheasants. fifteen quail, ten woodcock
and two wild turkeys in one day is pro-
hibited. Two deer only can be killed
in one season by any one person.
No deer can be killed lawfully in
streams or hunted with dogs, The
only month i'm which they can be shot
is in November. Deer have become
comparatively tame owing to the pro.
lection they have received through
discriminate slaughter.

SPECIAL MEETING CALLED
Board of Control to Meet Tomorrow
Night to Reconsider Action on
the Text Book Matter.

AS foreshadowed in The Tribune,
President Davis. of the board of CON
troll yesterday directed a call to issue
Tor special meeting tomorrow night
to reconsider action on the text book
matter.
The call reads "for the transaction
OF general business" but it is no secret
that the meeting has particular pur-
pose and that that purpose is the over
throw of the text book committees re-
port and the adoption of the sup
pressed recommendations of the advi-
sorry committee of teachers.
The agents of the concerns which
publish the readers, arthmetics spell
ers and writing books which the teach
ers recommended, but which the board
would not adopt, are chiefly instrument
tai in forwarding the scheme for re-
consideration, according to the state
ments of those who are in opposition
to the project.
The vote was lG to against the
teachers recommendations, but II is
reliably stated that four or five who
voted with the majority did so simply
to keep under cover and that when a
majority is assured for the support of
the advisory committees recOmmen-
datiOns they will come out in the open
and vote with them.
1t is stated and the special call would
tend to prove, that the necessary ma
joritY has been secured.
