Paine's Celery
Compound
Guarantees a Freedom From Disease an
Sickness.
Indifference and Carelessn ess Lead
to Physical Shipwreck and
the Grave.

The weak, ailing, sick. and diseased
have now more than ever before nm
der their control their physical condi-
ton. They are free agents, and al
most wholly responsible for their fu-
turc. When the brain Is not affected,
and the mind can discern between
right and wrong. duty to themselves,
their friends, and country loudly de-
mands marked decision-prompt and
determined action when health Is i'm
paired and life is In danger.
1t is the part Of wisdom that true
decision be made today; tomorrow
may be too late. In thousands of cases
the checking and banishment Of dis
ease depends upon instant action; an
hour lost frequently means the snuff
fling out of some precious life.
Few people in our country are with
out some knowledge Of the wondrous,
life-giving virtues of Paine's Celery
Compound, medicine that guarantees
release from the diseases common to
life.
What will your decision be today,
poor sufferer? Will you give Paine's
Celery Compound the fair and honest
testing that others are giving it. with
its certain reward of health. strength
vigor, or happiness, or will you re-
main Indifferent and careless, con
tent to pass your few days or weeks
in misery, agony, and wretchedness
until the dark grave claims you as
it's victim?
1t is almost needless to enumeratt
| the blessed results that flow from
| Paine's Celery Compound when used
promptly in spring time, as you and
your friends have knowledge Of
them. OF this you may be assured
the seeds of disease are banished, thu
system Is fortified, the blood is made
red and pure. the nerves braced, diges
tion regulated, headaches, sideaches
and backaches forever dispelled, ant

REASONABLE ECONOMY.
The past year has witnessed thelcon3
duct of the city's business upon ba-
sis of the most rigid economy. In
large measure want of funds con-
strained the authorities to this course,
but at the same time they deserve
credit for adopting such policy at the
outset and in adhering so closely to
it, as there are not wanting those
who are willing to extend credit to
the city in disregard of its financial
condition. If the Legislature should
deem the present levy inadequate to
the needs of the city, any increase In
it will not justify extravaganza and
should not tempt to II. Akron's needs
have expanded wonderfully in the past
decade and are expanding now. More
money will be needed to meet them.
A city cannot be conducted properly
upon a village budget. A niggardly
policy in dealing with the city's re-
quirements will be a serious mistake
1t will not only cause present incon-
venience, but will retard future
growth. The city should not only be
brought up to the times but prepared
to keep up with them.
FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
The machinery Of the city govern
ment has operated without friction
during the year. The public has beer
spared the humiliation caused by form

Council and the Board of City Com
missioners. The last Council put it.
self on record as being unanimously in
favor of municipal code for the uni
form government of all the cities of
the state. The evils of special legis-
lation are many and apparent. The
Pugh-Kiblen. Code was not perfect,
but it was long step forward. Local
self government will prove a solution
to many of the municipal problems of
the present. This Council should use
its influence to secure independence
from legislative control of purely To-
cal matters and as complete auton-
omy as sound principles of civil gov
erhment will allow. What does the
Legislature at Columbus know of our
Howard street sewer or the necessity
of paving Grant street? The public
pump is in better hands when Parlia-
ment has yielded control over it to the
parish 'beadle.
CITY OWNERSHIP OF WATER.
| WOhhS.
Public ownership of all the public
utilities is moot point. Controversy
RACES fiercely about it and Akron will
do well to wait until other American
communities with more money to
spend than we possess, have finished
their experiments of this nature. About
the desirability of municipal owner,
ship of water works, however, there
can be no dispute. This Is conceded
by all students of the question. There
is no other commodity furnished by
the quasi-public corporations upor
which the welfare of the public de
pends so strongly as upon water, Pri
vate ownership tends to lessen tht
amount used by both the city and pub
lie, while municipal ownership vii

ance. Any opportunity that ma,
arise during the life of the presen
Council to acquire possession of tn,

MAYORS
Annual Address to Council Mon
day Night.

To the Honorable City Council of the
City of Akron, Greeting:
take pleasure in transmitting to
you, in compliance with the require
ments of the laws of Ohio, for your
consideration and action, the following
suggestions and recommendations
They are inspired solely by the hope
that benefit may accrue to the city
therefrom. They are the result of
careful observation of the city's affairs
during the past year, the first of my
term as mayor. They are intended to
be practical, and this message Is not
offered to you as an essay upon muni-
cipal government or any other topic,
and the treatment of the subject mat
ter Is not academic in any sense.
PUBLIC ORDER.
During the year which has elapsed
since my previous message the con-
dition of the city In regard to public
order and quiet has been very salts.
factory. A determination by those in
authority to maintain law and order
at all hazards has had its effect upon
those in our midst inclined to turbu'
lence. The effect of these lessons OF
the past has been to stimulate to un
sleeping vigilance those holding pow
er to defend life and property.
A manufa cturing center such as Ak
ron attracts large numbers of an unde
sirable class Of persons, shiftless
unstable and rowing, who quit worh
or receive discharge after few
months labor and then move on tC
the next job. Careful investigation
has shown that very large proper

An UNPARALLELED Remedy.

In olden times the happy combination Of
vegetable remedies TO promote digestion,
nutrition and excretion, sttm ulate the liv-
er, skin, kidneys and bowels, thereby re-
moving congestion, purifying the blood
and restoring depressed vitality, known to
the old monks as "St. Bernard Vegetable
Pills" were regarded as a penacea for ali
durable diseases; and modern discoveries
in physiology ond therapeutics have only
confirmed the old theory concerning them.

POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The reorgaDized police force is very
strong organization of capable men of
whom the city may be proud. Their
work is as arduous as that Of similar
officers elsewhere and their compensa-
ton should not be less. Neither the
fire nor the police departments are
places for cheap men. Protectors Of
life and property should be picked

lice educated in the various evolutions

condition should at all times be prime.
At the present time the force num-
bers less by three than 1t did when my
term began. One conversant with the
prevailing conditions cannot view with
out apprehension any reduction in its
numerical strength. / recommend &c

FIRE DEPARTMENT..
The FIRE department is in very cred

efficient. I heartily join in the recon-
mendation made by Chief John L
Mertz in his report to the city COM

A Great Cattle Country.

Cattle are reported as looking
sleek and fat OIL the ranches, des-
pite the dry weather and lack OF
grass. They are feeling now on
mesquite beans and tunds, the fruit
of the prickly pear, both of which
are fattening and are eaten with
much relish by stock There have
been two abundant crops of mes
quite beans so far this yesf,, and
the trees are bearing a third crop.
The priekly pear crop is also pIent-
ifnl and is now ripe. Thus Provi-
dence blesspS the lower Rio Grande
region by providing there resour-
ces for feeding stock, when there is
little rain and grass is scarce.
"There'S no use talking said a
well known rauchman to the editor,
"this is great country for cattle.
Without rain or grass, the cattle
keep fat and sleek on mesquite
beans and tunas." On one of the
ranches Of this gentleman no rain
has fallen since last SEPTEMBER, yet
he has lost only about fifty head
of cattle in that time, which died
in the spring before the first mes
quite beans were ripe.
