About the American Navy.

Naval men claim that this important
lesson was learned from the Russian
Japanese war, namely, that the navy
of the United States must be well pro-
vided with heavy warships in order
that We may hold the proud position
we now occupy among the nations of
the world. Thousands of sickly per-
sons long ago learned the lesson that
for making people well and keeping
them so there was no medicine like
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Every
bottle is now backed by So years
record of cures which ought to con-
vince the most skeptical that it con-
tains true merit and is worthy of fair
trial. If the stomach is weak, appetite
poor, sleep restless or nerves unstrung
the Bitters is needed at once. 1t also
cures dyspepsia, Indigestion, costive-
ness, heartburn, bloating. female ills,
dizziness, fainting speels or malaria.

sciatica Cured After Twenty Years of
Torture.

For more than twenty years ]. B.
Massey, of 1922 Clinton street. Mime
apolis. Mimi, was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he en-
dured during this time is beyond COM
prehension. Nothing gave him any per-
manent relief until he used Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. One application of
that liniment relieved the pain and
made sleep and rest possible, and less
than one bottle has effected a perma-
nent cure. If troubled with sciatica or
rheumatism why not try 25c bottle of
Pain Balm and see for yourself how
quickly il relieves the pain. For sale

Make Explanations.

Aldermen Blochlinger and Anderson
of the street and alley committee both
made explanations to the representa-
tives of the company as to why there
had been delay. The large number OF
poles to be set and the large number
of telephones to be installed takes
more time than usual in such cases.
They said that the delay was not simp-
~ to keep putting the company off in
its work This cleared up the sit
uation to some extent.
There was some talk of entering
anew into negotiations with the COM
pany for an ordinance, and Mr.. Roett-
ger informed the council upon inquiry
that the company would enter into
such negotiations upon reasonable no.
tice. Notwithstanding that the company
had won the first round in the legal
battle. However, no time for such
meeting was set. except that the coun-
Gil will be in session next Monday
evening for anything that may come
before it.

Alderman Bloehlinger reported the
recommendation of the committee on
streets and alleys that an ordinance
be presented for the Improvement of
Seventh avenue between Thirtieth and
Forty-sixth streets, and of Thirty-eighth
street from Fifth to Seventh avenue.
1T was further recommended that the
ordinance be- SO drawn as to provide

to be done next year.

Change the Teams.

1t now appears that the new team
purchased for service in the fire de-
partment at the No. 2 hose house was
not fit for the service, and 1t is now
necessary to make changes to properly
equip the department. Upon motion OF
Alderman Dauber the team now in use
there will be turned over to the health
and street departments work. Alder
man Brooks followed with a resolution
providing that the patrol team be TAX
en- to the No. 2 station and that the
ambulance team be used for both. The
horse and the light wagon that was pur-
chased for the police department, but
has been used principally by the mayor
and Shotgun Haverfield, is to be kept
at the patrol Darn for the use of the
department exclusively.

Delay of Committee.

Another question, which brought the
company and the aldermen almost to-
gether with a clash. was as TO wheth-
err the delay of the street and alley
committee in locating poles for the
company is reasonable or not. 1t
seems that with the injunction of the
court in its hands and the demand
coming from former and prospective
subscribers for telephones the COM
pany is in a hurry to give the
service to the people as soon
as possible. The committee asked for
further time without giving any reason.
Hon William McEniry was there rep
resenting the company and he stated
that they could only take such action
as an indication that the committee
did not intend to locate the poles.
That while the company would have
same patience with the council as il
had in the past, it is now in posses
sion of the right to go ahead after
giving the committee reasonable notice
and it will be compelled to do so if
il failed to act.

ARE AT IT AGAIN
Telephone Company and Council
Discuss Situation as it
Now Stands.
ANXIOUS TO SET ITS POLES
May Review Negotiations Upon Ordin-
ance-Hands of City Thoroughly
Bound-Lmprove Streets.

Once more the telephone controver-
sy broke to the foreground in the coun-
ell chamber and last evening there was
considerable discussion The restrain
this started the argument. Some of
the aldermen are inclined to think that
the injunction of the court is in very
stringent terms and one from the
bonds of which the city should seek
release. In other words the city finds
itself bound hand and foot by the or
der of the court as far as the Central
Union Telephone company is con-
cerned
Two Ways Out.
The cutting of the poles, the tear
ing of telephones from the walls. and
the advice of the mayor to other peo-
pie to tear down their own telephone
melted the drawing of an order that
covers all of these matters. One of
the portions that seemed to strike
some of the aldermen as being a strin-
gent rule was the order that no one
can modest in any way any of the
workmen of the company who are en-
gagged in the planting of poles or the
stringing of wires. In short, the city
finds itself bound by the court to OBJ
serve the rights claimed by the Central
Union Telephone company with two
chances to get out of il. One is by
the agreement upon an ordinance and
the other is to fight the matter through
all of the courts and take the chances
of having the ruling of Judge Ramsay
reversed

The Gni1IOtinp.

The machine employed in French
public executions has the reputation
Of being the invention of DR.. Guillotin,
but the machine was used long before
the doctor had seen one. All he did
was to publicly encourage a preference
for this means Of death as being pain
less, and in consequence some one, un-
happily for the doctors humanity,
named the machine after him. The
guillotine was really prepared by a
German mechanic named Schmidt I'M
der the direction of DR.. Antonine Louis
and hence at first was called a 'lou-
ison" or "louisette'
And here it may not be out of place
to mention the cognate error that Gull
lotin was it's first victim. He nearly
became victim of the revolution, but
he escaped, and after the ending of his
political career he resumed his duties
as a physician and became one Of the
founders of the Academy of Medicine
in Paris. He died May 26, 1914, aged
seventy-six, but the French revolution
died twenty years earlier. The first
man executed by the guillotine was a
highwayman, who died in 1892.

Gore, p; Summers,ss Lewis, Id;
Hallet, %; Bungo, 30; Hazen, F..
Legore and Collins, outfeld.

in the forthcoming games.
The management requests that
all patrons of the games stay be-
hind the seats, and keep there
during play, so that a clean
game can be pulled off and all
spectators given a chance to
witness the contest.

Strength of the Open Sky.

Reader. 'What great thing of the
earth in art, in science, in romance,

small tragedy and bitterness and pes

'"The joyous, hopeful, optimistic

Picking way Across a mountain.

Picking Way Across Mountain.
Picking a way is good fun. You must
first scout ahead in general. Then you
determine more carefully just. where
each hOof is to fall. For instance, it is
a question Of whether you are to go
above or below a certain ledge. You
decide on going below because thus
you will dodge a little climb and also
a rather slippery looking rock slide
But on investigation you find, hidden
by the bushes, a riven bowlder There is
no way around it. So then retrace your
steps to the place where you made
your first choice. The upper route
again offers you an alternative. You
select one; it turns out well; forks
again. But you discover both these
forks utterly impractical So back
you must hike to the very beginning
to discover, if you can, perhaps third
and heretofore unconsidered chance
Then, if none are good, you must cast
In review the features of all your little
explorations in order to determine
which best lends itself to eXpedients.
This consumes time, but it is great fun

the wrist few persons know what i'm
portant parts of the body the wrists
are and how much may be accomplish
ed by treatment of them. When one
has tainted water should be applied to
the wrists as freely as to the face and

doctors frequently order the wrists to
be bathed with milk and with beef tea
Athletes learn that the wrists must be
kept cool in summer and warm in win
ter. You all know the relief expert

relief comes not from the hands being
uncovered, but from the wrists being

Milk Fed Kid.

"This is milk fed kid" said the leath-
er merchant. "It is very soft and fine
and pliable, isn't it?"
He smoothed the delicate white skin
and went Oh:
call first rate kid is milk fed. 1t comes
to us from the French mountaineers
These men are superb goatherds. Their
immense focls supply the worlds kid
gloves. The goatherds Of France are
careful to keep their kids on an eX-
elusive milk diet. They pen the little
animals with their mothers in rocky
Enclosures, where there is no grass. At
that the kids often escape, often man
age to eat solid food, for, with almost
human perversity, kids that shouldn't
be weaned wean themselves early
whereas calves that should be weaned
cling like grim death to milk One
meal of grass will spoil kids skin,
will rob it of it's softness and pliability,
will harden and coarsen and stiffen it,:
hence. when you buy kid gloves always
choose the milk fed kind."-Cincinnati
