BUDGET AGAIN
GOES To print 7

Owing to a clerical error in the lam
guage of the. municipal budget the
Board of Supervisors was compelled
yesterday to pass the ordinance thereon
to print again, in order that it might
not be invalidated owing to a techni-
cality. The errer arose under the head
ing of street sweeping and cleaning,
which designated that the work be
done by the city and not contract. The
words not by contract" were stricken
out so that it will be possible to have
the work done by contract if found de-
sirable. The civil service requirements
for the employment of subordinates in
that connection were abolished so far
as the teaming for street cleaning is
concerned. Another amendment will
permit the City Engineer to appoint an
additional draughtsmah.
The budget as passed to print pro-
vides for municipal expenditures of
81 2S7, 900, of which nearly 81 ,O00, 900 is
for improvements. The tax levy for the
purpose will be 81 o. on every 800 Of
assessed valuation, based on a total es-
timated roll of $4,000, ,000. To this
must be added 9.4 cents for an appro-
priation of $47S.62O for bond interest
and redemption fund, making a total
tax rate of 81 164. The State rate will
approximate so cents, or 81 664 for city
and State purposes. The ordinance
will be finally passed next Monday.

A grateful mother, in the following

my baby was four months old her

her to a doctor, who said it was
eczema. He gave me medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and body
were so covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell
off. Then it itched so she could pot

could get no rest. AT last we got

one month she had not one sore on

Sick  Headache

When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous sys- tenn, centering in the brain.
 This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom- ach causes nausea. vomiting.
 This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epi- lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
 Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
 They stop the pain by sooth- ing, strengthening and reliev- ing the tension upon the nerves mot by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral, cocaine or similar drugs.
 "Sick headache is hereditary in my family. My father suffered great deal, and for many years I have had spells that were so severe that I was unable to attend to my business affairs for day or so at a time. During very severe attack of headache, I took pr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills and they relieved me almost immediately. Since then I take them when 1 feel the spell coming on and it stops 1t at once;

cozY HOME FOR TRAMPs.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans . Comfortable Refuge for
 the Aged.

Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest tramp in America, who several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, at the expense of western rail- road magnate, as result of wager that Hans could not walk from Tacoma to Panama in eight months, is to build home for aged tramps. Hans recent ly received $25, ,000 by the will of rel ative who died in Sweden, and the money is now said to be drawing interest in 2 New York bank.
 Hans recently disclosed his intention to his friend Peter Johnson, of Wor- cester, Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and, while talking about Hans project, said:
 "It sounds like the dream of crazy man, but Hans declares that he will build the tramps' home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. I asked him why he didn't take his money and settle down and he said it is much more fun to be tramp.
 "He said that the only thing he wanted oNs in when he gets too old to catch freights so long as he had to build himself al home. hs declared that he might as well build ono large enough for 25 or 30 of his friends. He told me that he knew 5000 tramps on the road in the United States Some of these friends of his, he ex- plained, are getting old and stin and cannot tramp much longer.
 "He plans to put all of his money in this home for his friends. After it is built, he argues that by little work, such as broom making or mending chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within can pay running ex- penses. When asked him how soon he Is going to build this home he said that he is looking for suitable place, and that as soon as he finds one he will take his money out of the bank and build"
