WRETcHED HOT WEATHER
SUFFERERS
Paine sCeIery
Compound
SHOULD BE USED In JULY AND
AUGUST

The extraordinary variable spring
and early summer weather of the
present year has been the cause OF
a vast amount of sickness in every
part of our country. Strong men
and women have been victims; the
weak rundown and sickly have
suffered intensely, and many fami-
lies now mourn the loss of near and
dear ones. The nervous, weak, run
down and debilitated should now
devote their best energies and at
tention to health-building so as to
enable them to withstand the ener-
waiting effects of the approaching
hot weather.
The use of Paine's Celery Com
pound will soon bring return OF
true physical strength; the nerves
will be fed and braced; the blood
will be made purer and richer; di-
gestion will be corrected, and
sweet, refreshing sleep will take the
place of insomnia and irritability.
Paine's Celery Compound is doing
a marvellous work for the sick and
suffering at this time. 1t is the
only preparation that possesses
value and virtue for recruiting the
strength and spent energies of
weakly and sick people in summer
time. The trial of one bottle will
give you happy results.

NOT TO USE COAL.
Gasoline Attachments on Fire En-
gines May Take It's Place.

ktuet fAbccs
Gasoline attachments for the engines
of the Savannah Fire Department may
be used exclusively in the near future.
The engine at Fire Station No. now
has such an attachment and if it works
satisfactorily all of the engines in the
department will be fitted in the same
way.
The gasoline attachment is used for
keeping the water in the boiler hot and
is intended to take the place of the
furnaces in the fire stations. 1t is Su-
perintendent Maguire's idea for the
water to be kept at 212 degrees at all
times, and not have the fires on the
engines lighted until ii is seen that
they will have to be used at a fire
Under the present system as soon as
an alarm is answered by an engine the
fire is started under the boiler.
1t frequently happens that the serv-
ices of an engine are not required and
fuel has been used needlessly. The fur
mace must be cleaned out and prepara-
lions made for the building of another
fire. 1t is the idea of Superintendent
Mcguire not to have the fires started
in the engine furnaces until it has been
determined whether the steamer will
have to be put into service.
The gasoline heating apparatus would
keep the water at the boiling point
and would be kept burning at all
times. Superintendent Mcguire had the
attachment at No. station construct
ed by Engineer Christian and believes
that the experiment will be a success.
If the attachment proves a success 1t
will mean that very little coal will be
used in the fire department.

other parties present, interested in

The Savannah Contract.

feet, from the old water works, above
Savannah, to Fort Pulaski. fourteen

received for each portion.

LAST OF NEW CARS.

Savannah Electric Company VIE
Have Them All in Service Soon.
The last of the eight new winter cars
ordered out by the Savannah Electric
Company reached Savannah yesterday.
General Manager Maggie of the COM
pany stated that the cars will be put
in service just as soon as possible and
it is expected that all eight Will be on
the A. & B. belt next week.
Just eight cars are used in the opera
ton of this belt line and the new cars
will be used exclusively. None others
have been ordered for this winter and
the A & B. belt will alone have the
use of the new cars. Mr.. Maggie is
pleased with the company's purchase
and believes that the riding public will
like the new style cars. A full de-
scription of them was given in the
Morning News some days ago.
The heavy rail to be used on Hab-
ersham street from CASTOR to Bolton
was shipped on the 10th. and is ex-
pected daily. The work of laying it
will be begun Immediately upon it's
arrival. 1t is the purpose of Mr.. Nagle
to have the rail put down at night.
In this way the operating of the Thun-
derbolt line will not in any way be
interfered with. A large force of men
will be employed and the work will
be pushed to completion. After the
rail has been put down by the electric
company the city will begin paving the

that those cities were invited to bid
against Savannah. Such is not the
case, Mr.. Ferst said. On the contrary.
the Savannahians knew that Mr.. Weiss
was going to Charleston, and that it
was the purpose of his company to es-
tablish a factory there. and one at
Macon, provided satisfactory induce
ments could be offered by those cities.
The argument has been raised that
the position of the American Cigar
Company. which controls millions. in
asking the donation of building and
site, is strange 1t has been asked what
a matter of $4,000 could be to such a
