MILLIONS A YEAR
INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY LOST BY THE WORKING CLASSES
An Interview With George V. HammOnd,. of Tacoma, Wash., a Man who
 Talks from Experience

The money lost annually by skilled workmen of all occupations figures up to millions of dollars an is becoming greater every year. This amount of money represents mainly time lost and the serious effect upon the social comfort of the workingmen and their families is evident. MT. George V. Hammond of Tacoma, Wash, said the other day:
 "I have lost my share of time but am thankful to say that l have not been losing any of late"
 You don't look as if you had lost much through sickness"
 No, and I don't feel so. But the fact remains that I was very sick man. I took cold along in 1889 and rheumatism settled in my arms and shoulders. l suffered for three years and nothing relieved me until in April, 1892, upon the recommends tion of my sister, 1 began the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and found releif in the second am entirely cured and have had no occasion to use them since."
 MT. Hammond resides at No. 61O N. Steel street, Tacoma, Wash, and at the request of the reporter made affi- davit to his above statement before James H. Dege, a notary public, on July 5, 1901.
 There is a popular idea that rheu- matism is caused by exposure to cold and that some localities are infected with it more than others. Such con- ditions frequently promote the devel- opment of the disease, but from the fact that rheumatism runs in certain families, it is shown to be hereditary and consequently a disease of the blood.
 Frequently an individual, in whose family rheumatism has not occurred develops the disease, and when a di- agnosis of the case is made, it is gen. erally found that the ailment is due to a Arrangement of the blood.
 External application may afford relief, but to cure the dis ease it is necessary to treat it the blood.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People go directly to the seat of the purifying and enriching the blood by eliminating poisonous ele- ments ana renewing health giving forces. They are a positive specific not only for rheumatism, but for such diseases as locomotor ataXia, partial St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, the after-effects of grip, of fev- CTS and of other acute diseases, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow comp. p.exions and all forms of weak ness, either in male or female. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box; six boxes two dollars and fifty cents by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Be sure and get the genuine; substitutes never cured anybody.

DREDGE The RIVER BED.
Councilman Calpin's Scheme for Pre-
venting Floods and Removing
Disease-Breeding Sewage.

President p. F. Calpin. of the COM
mon council. believes that the cheapest
way to prevent a repetition of the dis
astrous floods of last week and to in
sure the existence of healthy conditions
along the line of the Lackawanna river
is to deepen the channel of that stream
by dredging.
He introduced a resolution in common
council last night requesting the direc-
tor of public works to submit to coun-
ellis an estimate of the cost of dredg-
ing the river from city line to city line.
The resolution was passed unanimously
without discussion. In speaking about
it to a Tribune man, Mr.. Calpin said
II have come to the conclusion that
the deepening of the channel of the
Lackawanna river within the city linz
its is the only feasible way of prevent
ing such terrible damage as was done
last week by the flood. 1t would be a
big undertaking to dredge the river for
such a distance, but don't think the
cost would be excessively high. l think
it could be done for 100000 or $3.50, 900,
but that is only a guess.
THE deepening of the channel would
be also a great advantage from a sani-
tary standpoint. The number of sewers
emptying into the river is becoming
larger every year. and in a very short
time conditions which are now disease
breeding will become unbearabe. I re-
fer to conditions along the river from
June to October. when there is very
little water flowing and when sewage,
instead of going down with the stream,
lodges around rocks and stones in the
river bed, or in little eddies which may
be formed near shore.
The stencil from this sewage on q
hot day is something that cannot be
described. know that the residents of
my ward, who live near the river, are
continually complaining of it, and
know that Il very considerable portion
OF the disease which exists in this city
in the summer time can be traced to it.
If 100000 or 100000, for that matter,
will remedy these conditions, | say that
it will be money we'll spent

AilinS Women in Sprin6time Need
the Strengthening and NOur-
iShin5 Virtues of
PAINE SCELERY
COMPOUND
A Case Where the Great rledicine
Bestowed Vigor and Health
After Months of Weak
ness and Suffering.

Observing and intelligent women who
have used Puines Celery Compound
have noted we'll the fact that as n
spring medicine it quickly regulates the
bowels, clears the whites of the eyes OF
that common jaundiced look and gives
u bloom of health to the face that 1t
never possessed before. Another i'm
portant proof of the invigorating power
of Paine's Celery Compound, is its ef-
feet on the pulse. which becomes full,
firm, and regular. Weak. exhausted,
nervous, irritable, and worried women
find that Paines Celery Compound
counteracts the exhausting strain of
work and worry by it's strong induce
ment to the delicate tissues to take
more nourishment; it induces the
nerves and brain to feed themselves
more literally, and 1t enriches the blood
and regulates the flow.
Mrs. Nellie Morse Taylor Scion, o.,
sends the following testimonial letter
for the benefit of weak and run down
women:
Some years ago / had a severe at
tack of the grippe which left my head
and spine in Il very bad shape. Some
times / thought 7 should lose my mind,
/ was so nervous. | could not sleep
more than two hours II night. After n
year with the doctor. | had run down
so 1 weighed only one hundred and six
teen pounds. / then began on Paine's
Celery Compound, and that great medi
cine cured me and built me up TO one
hundred and fifty pounds. | would not
be alive today had it not been for the
Compound. 1t cures all nerve troubles"

STORM HAS ABATED.
Traffic Is Being Reopened on the
Trolley Lines and Steam Roads.
Making Schedule Time.

1t ceased showing about o'clock yes
terday morning and there followed u
bright, sunny, though not warm day
that was positively ideal as compared
with most of it's immediate predeces-
sors.
The Scranton Railway company had
all it's available men with cars and
sweepers at work all night and all of
yesterday. BY nightfall they had sue
ceeded in opening up the Dunmore Su-
burban, Petersburg, Green Ridge Peo-
pies, Green Ridge Suburban, South
Main and Laurel Hill lines. Today if
nothing intervenes, the Lafayette,
Washburn. Luzerne, Bellevue, Stone
avenue, South Side, Providence and
inter-urban lines will be opened.
The effects of the snow storm on the
railroads entering Scranton was not
as serious as was generally expected.
Trains were run yesterday nearer to
schedule time than on any day during
the past week.
The Bloomsbury division of the
Lackawanna railroad, which wa lied
up by reason of the flood, was re-
opened yesterday and trains were run
through to northumberland. This di-
vision has been affected since last Fri
day. The regular running schedule will
be in force this morning.
Operations We're resumed yesterday
at the Bellevue and Dodge Collieries,
and at all the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western washeries, and it is eN
pected all the other collieres will be in
operation the first of next week.
The total depth of the snowfall was
12.S inches. This is not considered suf-
ficient to occasion any serious swelling
of the streams, even if there should be
sudden thaw. The forecast for today
is fair, with increasing cloudiness to-
wards nightfall.

NJ, B. Callahan, of Hamtown, Pittston,
has broken out all over her body in
eruptions, which the physicians believe
are vaccination sores.
She was vaccinated two weeks ago,
and it took" in very aggravated form.
The supposition is that the little one,
in scratching her irrltated arm, gath
cred some of the virus beneath her
finger nails and thus transmitted it to
other parts of her body. She is in a
very serious condition.

CITY'S CREDIT GOOD.
Number of Inquiries Regarding the
Proposed Bond Issue.

That Scranton's credit is A No. l is
proven every day by the number of
letters being received asking informa-
tion regarding the coming issue of
bonds, despite the fact that no adver-
tisement of the proposed issue has APP
peared as yet in any or the financial
papers. 1t can be seen from these that
there will be no dearth of bidders.
When the bond ordinance comes up
again in councils, an amendment will
be offered, providing that the bonds
shall be free from all taxes, which the
city shall agree to assume and pay. A
number of those who have inquired
about the bonds have stipulated that
they will not be taken up if the state
tax on loans must be paid by the
holders.
